Find places to spend sats wherever you are.
Just a proposal right now, but would you be interested in this talk at @AdoptingBTC?
What would you want to learn? What questions do you have about global merchant adoption that we might be able to help answer?

Our @npub1rg3a...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 ...
Just 2 days remain for our 'Verify the Planet' initiative!
2.1M sats will be distributed to the top taggers this weekend during #bh2023, the birthplace of @BTC Map.
Top 10 as follows:

Please could you consider opening-up your very generous Bitcoin Contributor ticket program to some of the plebs making @BTC Map a sucess?
Lots of work is selflessly being done in the background; not just code, but on data quality too.

Big news - we have finally defeated the legacy tag boss. ๐ช
Over 7000 locations have been manually verified by our small, but dedicated team of Shadowy Supertaggers. ๐ฅท
The final boss is to get to 100% verified locations. We're currently at 75% with 5864 out of 7833. ๐

True story: the first merchant to be tagged with the new โก๏ธ tags we introduced was a barber. ๐
