OSM tagging as follows:

New tagging regime:
Tagging is now:
currency:XBT=yes
payment:bitcoin=onchain;lightning; lightningnfc
Pick one or more.
If you're not sure what the payment methods are, then just use:
payment:bitcoin=yes

Great I'll remove payment:bitcoin and just use currency:XBT and payment:lightning for some of my listings I'm maintaining which are really lightning only.

Currently, payment:XBT will display as on-chain.
We're currently debating the the OSM community on the most appropriate tagging regime: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/bitcoin-tagging/2302.
I would like to see onchain being explicit using the payment:onchain tag.
UPDATED

  • Bitcoin the currency accepted
payment : lightning
  • Lightning accepted as a payment method

What is the difference between the tickers BTC and XBT? BTC the asset and XBT the currency? Is the XBT notation widely used?
reply
XBT is the official ISO currency code for Bitcoin. Interchangable with BTC, which is kinda the 'unofficial' but widely used code.

Thanks. Wasn't aware it was standardized.
