you know you can review the posts in btcmap, right?
I’d already thought about how easy it is to add fake spots on BTCmap. Turns out they’re real fakes!. Good on you for calling to double-check.
I think some of old merchants were imported from the previous btcmap, using OSM. Many obsolete locations.
The users review is very important, so btcmap devs could remove them.
I have been calling up a lot of these places. Most of them who do accept bitcoin don't seem to know much about it. These merchants have just turned on the Square bitcoin service on their terminal. Not great, but it seems to be a good starting point for a conversation. It took a while, but I found one really promising bar/restaurant in Charlotte, NC. I may make a post to see if stackers have been there. I think they hold local meetups. I should have some more information in a few hours.
No idea. Verifying Existing Merchants
I think it goes into https://btcmap.org/tickets?
The last place I visited from BTC Map was the same situation. It turned out they had a bitcoin atm in the past but got rid of it.
I'm starting to wonder about the accuracy of BTC Map. I have been making phone calls to merchants who supposedly accept bitcoin in planning my road trip. The response I usually get is "huh?", or " bitwhat"?
