Title: Places that accept Bitcoin on Openstreetmap.
Post by: teste on March 01, 2013, 06:57:19 PM
Hi, I added a place on Openstreetmap.org that accept Bitcoin using the key payment:bitcoin. See: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2178760338
I use a great android Gps app called Osmand, that use the data from openstreetmap. The app has options to search/filter places in many ways. I would like to search all places that accept bitcoin, but I think an icon need to be created first. (If I understood correctly)
See the topic I created on osmand google groups. https://groups.google.com/d/topic/osmand/8dwH1jKsRqU/discussion

Anyone here is able to create a pull request on osmand for bitcoin icon?

Good idea. The first time I mapped a point of interest on openstreetmap related to Bitcoin was when I added a domino's pizza restaurant in northern Greece(in mah home city). Though I now know that http://pizzaforcoins.com/ only works in the U.S.A. + that they are a proxy and that domino's don't accept them directly but what the heck: If you can buy food for Bitcoin I'm all for it  ;D

Do you map any on openstreetmap or do you just enjoy that lots of nice geoinfo is out there?  8)

Congrats teste! I see you've done work here as well "Kyrios Pousada" tourism=hotel http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2185635271

Also notice that opening this thread may have had some effect. At March the 3rd a 3rd geolocation was added for a place that accepts BTC!
Then we have stick who've added 'hackerspace' some non-profit in Prague, Czech Republic. I just imagine there are lots of geolocations that accept Bitcoin, but we just haven't made this data free(and linked!) yet. Though +3(3 nodes in total with the tag payment:bitcoin=*) for the current work!  :D Keep it up!  8)
