I’m want to add cuz i have many location accept bitcoin lightning thx

btcmap team tell me select verifly location before save a location i’ll try it thank bro

An idea I’ve been reflecting on:

BTCMaps: The Geographic Interface for Nostr

Vision:

Position BTCMaps as the primary geographic visualization layer for Nostr's decentralized social network, combining privacy-preserving engagement tracking with gamification opportunities.

Key Components:

Map Nodes: Store locations tagged with Nostr public keys

Visit Verification: Local proof signing using client and vendor keys

Privacy-First Framework:

All sensitive operations happen on user devices

Local storage of visit history and achievements

Users control what data to share publicly

Gamification Engine:

Achievement tracking without compromising privacy

Verifiable visit proofs for rewards/badges

Community engagement incentives

Strategic Value:

Establishes BTCMaps as the standard for geographic Nostr data

Creates engaging user experience through gamification

Maintains user privacy while enabling social features

Provides businesses with opt-in engagement metrics

Sound interesting?

On it. 🫡

That would be awesome!

- You have to use the CLI, but hold on that I'm releasing a new version, likely today

- you have to be whitelisted, which I'm doing right now

- I have to remove the zapstore-signed release

I noticed the btcmap icon could not be extracted from the APK and thus is missing, it would be great if you used the --icon argument

Yo BTC Map! The other day I tried to add a location without having an OSM login and only a mobile phone, sort of a hassle watching the video, creating an account, adding the merchants credentials including the BTC hashtag, everything on the go/mobile browser only… Maybe the biggest improvement would be by adding BTC acceptance with one tap on an existing merchant directly within the app ie not switching to OSM/browser? Just thinking, sounds easy but I guess there’s a lot of work behind….

I am in Berlin and there is just one cafe that doesn’t even exist 😅

Do you know a reliable way of finding bitcoin merchants/vendors in the UK?

Hey, I wanna contribute. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Awesome, there's not much in Munich but I'm happy to help with what I can

Would love to support here, could you provide more infos? Cheers

I’m willing to give it a shot- but do they need to be verified in person or how? I live in the middle of nowhere and just checked the total of 6 places listed on BTC map in my entire state 😆

What exactly needs to be done? How can avg plebs help out?

The number of verified merchants has dropped from 6,867 to 6,734 (-2%), which means that we’re struggling to keep more than 5-7 thousands of places up-to-date, and we need more contributors who can re-verify outdated merchants.

The total number of merchants has increased from 11,685 to 11,833 (+1.3%), which is in line with our long-term trend. The stream of new merchants has no signs of tapering, we’re just struggling to maintain the old ones in certain regions.

webView is meh imo. I'd like the user to be able to tap a button and see BTC merchants around them. I assume I can do this with the api?
