Portugal just shot up to fifth place on the Country Leaderboard after a little Spring clean of their data.
Merchant maintenance is a constant activity and requires PoW by locals.
What's stopping YOU verifying merchants in your country?

A new community management feature just dropped!
Communities can now see what data maintenance they need to do and, crucially, what is coming up. 👀

This will help the community supertaggers stay on top of things, and hopfully on top of the leaderboard like Jednadvacet Praha.

Data quality does vary by community, but is largely pretty good.
Did you send in verification issues for those places?
Ultimately, it's not our data; it's yours. 🫡

📢 Shout out to our BTC Map Communities 📢
We wanted to let you know that we are working on a number of features over the next 2-weeks related to adoption statistics. 📈
This is in preparation for a presentation at @npub1ad0…ng2c, where we'll be sharing the latest and greatest data we have. We'll be showing adoption metrics on both a per-country and a per-community basis. This will involve per-capita and per-km² analysis, with insights into verification 'up-to-datedness'. 🤓
So, please feel free to have a little spring clean of your community data before we run the final reports in a couple of weeks time to ensure we tell the best possible story of merchant adoption in your community. 😍

Our @npub1rg3…d3r2 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 ...

2023-08-17 13:57:22

We have just over 2 weeks remaining in the
@npub1kmw…xqk9 powered 'Verify the Planet' initiative.
2.1M sats are up for grabs for those showing PoW. 💪

Payment types have been a subject of much debate internally.
Android team not keen. 😂
Well discuss it again though.

We're soft launching the BTC Map PoS!
Details:
- Built on LNBits 💪
- Web-based PoS, although can be used in conjunction with v cheap Offline PoS solution. 💳
- Custodial, although we can push funds to a non-custodial ⚡ address in real-time OR settle on-chain periodically (or at acertain balance threshold).
- No fiat off-ramp. We want to facilitate local P2P trading so merchants can sell 🌽 to local plebs at a KYC-free premium if they need dirty fiat. 🤯
- 1% flat fee.
Get in touch if you want to learn more or get on-boarded!

2023-03-06 15:03:10

We onboarded Copper Pot Coffee in London during Advancing Bitcoin last week.
They're using our LNBits powered PoS. 💪
The Pay Merchant button has also been enabled for tips.
