Ever since #nostrica, Bitcoin Jungle has been expanding faster than ever before. Weβre seen sparks of interest in many other parts of the country. Hard to keep up with everything tbh. I just checked in on our map and saw like 30 new pins since yβall left.
Super niceβοΈγγγγ¨γππ
This is beautiful.

π«ππ€π» Glad to have sprinkled some sats around Uvita.
They are hodling the shit out of them right now. Very few fiat swaps.
Love to see this. So amazing!
The #Nostr Effect β¦ already told you irl, but truly inspiring work β¦ glad to it sparked something beyond Uvita β¦
This is the way
Absolutely amazing ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ Congratulations on your success βοΈ π βοΈ
I canβt wait to bring this entire experience back to New York: it has so many solutions that we have been vying for.
Thatβs fantastic!
I hope to return next winter. π€π»π
Canβt wait to come visit!!
Commend you on your valuable work!
LFG!!

Awesome!
We definitely need to work through how we best get your merchants into OpenStreetMap and therefore into BTC Map. π€
Yes, I know. Iβd been doing my best to keep up with it and enter new merchants by hand with the OSM editor. Now that users can self-add to our map, itβs going to get harder to keep up. I know OSM frowns on API edits (and it would be tricky to do right I think).
I was thinking about this, Nostr profiles with geo coordinates could be interesting for this type of mapping.
There is ongoing discussion of that here:
Interesting, I'll followup there as well.
I'll have to look into how this could be used for geospacial location of a merchant (perhaps with NIP-15 Marketplaces) and for profiles.
Could also be interesting to be able to list in a broad geographic area, rather than specific to the meter.
Thus you could search for stores in a geographic region as well as products and services, similar to Bitcoin Jungle, Bitcoin Beach, Oshi and BTC Map.
Is recreating Open Street Map on nostr feasible?
Seems a stretch.
Optionally geocoding notes would be great.
