Can I ask why only 5 out of 10 people in the TOP10 in the original leaderboard at https://btcmap.org/leaderboard #geyser are rewarded? Have you done any background activity check on each participant?
Hey, yep we looked at edits as some are general OSM bots or mass edits not related to bitcoin.
We discounted yours as they are related to Qerko, which have recently had a large changeset reverted. We're not sure if the edits will remain unchallenged at the moment.
Happy to review at a later date once the Qerko data settles. π€
We need some ideas for tee designs.
Ideas:
Stay humble and tag maps
Stackin' sats, taggin' maps
SPEDN
What you got nostr?!
nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq can you give me a rough estimate on how much time it needs to be approved?
Normally a few days. Will take a look tomorrow, but we did see a few Bulgarian ones come through.

Our nostr:npub1rg3adrxmz357cy540xplsz89v232l64wz7utp640zv0qhp98339qt2d3r2 sponsored 'Verify the Planet' initiative has now come to a close.
Thanks to the PoW our Shadowy Supertaggers put in, we managed to:
1) Completely clear the legacy `currency:bitcoin` locations (either removing or updating them.
2) Get around 80% of the current 8,353 locations verified within the last year (average verification age is now around 180 days and falling).
Compare this situation to just 12-months ago when we had a pretty ugly dataset that nobody trusted.
What an achievement!
OK, so on to the prizes ...
Sats will be distributed as follows:

Just 2 days remain for our 'Verify the Planet' initiative!
2.1M sats will be distributed to the top taggers this weekend during #bh2023, the birthplace of nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq.
Top 10 as follows:

Went to a restaurant I found on nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq that accepts Bitcoin and had dinner there with friends.
Paid the bill for my Udon Noodle dish from my self-custodial Lightning wallet to their self-custodial Lightning wallet. The payment took 0.5 seconds to finalize.
Bitcoin is alive.
We love hearing little stories like this!
Howdy nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv!
Please could you consider opening-up your very generous Bitcoin Contributor ticket program to some of the plebs making nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq a sucess?
Lots of work is selflessly being done in the background; not just code, but on data quality too.
Weru Weru!

Come and join the fun and become a Shadowy Supertagger! π₯·
Happy birthday OSM!
The open data OGs.
We're almost 1. π
Big news - we have finally defeated the legacy tag boss. πͺ
Over 7000 locations have been manually verified by our small, but dedicated team of Shadowy Supertaggers. π₯·
The final boss is to get to 100% verified locations. We're currently at 75% with 5864 out of 7833. π

ICYMI, our iOS app now has multilingual support with a number of new languages.

Thx to 'babicash' for the PR! πͺ

This could match very well with nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq 's project, afaict.

Something we've been thinking about. π
Here is the current snapshot of our nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 initiative to 'Verify the Planet'.
Plebs verifying hard! πͺ
Less than 1,500 locations to go. Get 'em while you can!
A pool of 2.1M sats will be distributed during Baltic Honeybadger for those showing PoW between now and then.
