Title: Got a bricks and Mortar shop that accepts bitcoins ? Put it onto google earth:
Post by: ragmondo on February 26, 2013, 05:43:08 PM
Submit the details here : http://bcfxer.appspot.com/submissions/newbusiness

Then (shortly afterwards), you'll be able to see it via the "kml" located here : http://bcfxer.appspot.com/kml

If you have google earth, put that kml link into the "places" section and all the currently listed merchants will appear - screenshot here : https://i.imgur.com/pzAWOzL.jpg?1

Note: Started this by working on an Android Map app to display this, but thought I'd get the business submission part done first.

Here's the android app screenshot (work in progress, not released yet):

Luna Luna, Mechelen, Belg.?

Too many places in Finland to mention, including that veggie bar place.

Don't forget CASASCIUS, I think he's based in Salt Lake City, Utah?

Et cetera.

PS one of my Aussie friends whom I got into Bitcoin (by donating her a few mBTC) would probably love to know if/when there are any B&M shops in Melbourne accepting BTC.

Please help me out and add the businesses. I'm willing to pay 0.02 btc per entry. I know that's not very much but I'm not very cash rich at the moment ... If you (or anybody else) wants to help out, let me know in advance so I can make sure I have enough btc to pay you after your work.

It will be very interesting to see how such a map changes and flourishes over time. From a historical perspective, most web-based alternate currencies tend to remain web-based.

However.. Please don't do any more until you've been in touch as I need to be very specific about the format of the entry, data quality etc etc. By all means, line them up and then let's talk what goes exactly where as I will need to be modifying the text inputs to match up with the android map display fragments (ie where to put html, where not to put html etc etc).
