I'm wondering if someone can make a website that like google but searches and shows on map of where bitcoiners can use bitcoins globally for groceries, restuarants, tools, transports etc.

A bitcoin survival website! bitcoiners only have bitcoins can live without Fiat money, they can buy foods with bitcoins, transport using bitcoins, go to a Dr. using bitcoins, go to gyms using bitcoins, buy air tickets, train tickets, bus ticket, taxi with bitcoins GLOBALLY anywhere, and that concept will spread as what it used to be spreading for ebay (live without leaving your room)!

If anyone with the technical skills, any skills that could make the website alive and popular, volunteer yourself, we'll gonna make a miracle!

http://www.coinmap.org/

It uses OSM data, and marks POIs with payment:bitcoin=yes on it.

That's good, but lack of search, and the listing is too simple, we need it to be more interactive. And no way for new shops to add itself into the map. I would like to improve it as new bitcoin cummunity where all goods buys/sells in physical stores are available and interactive, much more like foursquare + ebay.

We need to do more about it!

I would like to start this project seriously, and bitcoin investment are accepting, as well as project developers.

Here's how I would like to push this project into sky:
1. Any people can fund the project and funders will get shares of this website in the future when advertising revenues gets in. You are the shareholders of the open project! This will cover 80% of total shares.
2. Any talented programmers could join the project and half-volunteer half-paid, which means, when project don't have enough funds from investors, we would all do it fore free, but every programmers will get 1% share when project starts profitting. The first 5 selected developers will get 1% share each, and the following 10 developers selected by the first 5 developers will get 0.5% share each. This will cover 10% cover shares.
3. As the project starter, I will hold 10%.


All shares, profits, salaries will only use Bitcoin!

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'd be interested in working corporate development/business development on such a site; spearheading the formation of partnerships with companies like bitpay, for example. Product management as well, creating mock-ups and spec sheets for designers and developers, as well as managing that process start to finish. With that said, I imagine that as the one drumming up the interest, I'm assuming these are the things you're interested in doing.

Everyone can add itself, as I wrote just edit the OSM data and place the tag.  I think the approach of using OSM to mark the POIs (where they are physical locations) is the best way to go.  You can easily layer a search function or mobile app around that data, too, it is not just coinmap.org.  For instance, I have "osmand" installed on my Android phone, which allows me (even abroad without internet connection) to find POIs of different types (ATM, grocery store, parks, tourist attractions, ...) in my neighbourhood and even navigate me there directly.  Just adding support for filtering by Bitcoin accepting POIs in there shouldn't be hard and sounds to me like exactly what you are talking about?

Why create a new database of physical POIs if there's already a public and free one in OSM?

Please open a ticket with your suggestions: https://github.com/prusnak/coinmap/issues

You only need an OSM account. If you don't have it, you can anyway add a note. I can't imagine a simpler way to interact with OSM mappers...
