Yeah, something along these lines.
We need to be highlighting the difference for sure.
Verification of intent difficult though.
Fantastic
@Nathan Day does BTCMap have a location attribute for payment processor/wallet (e.g. WOS, BTCPay, BTCJungle etc)?
Yessir.
Customer sends fiat
Business receives bitcoin/fiat or a % of both
their choice
Man have I got the best open street maps implementation for you!
Will DM
what a wonderful world ..
This is promising, pretty much everyone at my local farmers market uses it!
Does anyone know if this will be defaulted to ON for merchants, or a manual opt-in type scenario?
If the latter, we're gonna have to create an open source leaflet with some information with why local merchants should turn it on. @bitcoin.rocks style.

Could do with some assistance down here in the tagger trenches!
Yeah, need to think about this carefully as the verification bar is rightly high on OSM.
We have some ideas to streamline this though.
Jack Dorsey is a Bitcoin Angel 😇. Good stuff.
Thx and congrats 👏🏻 that must feel electrifying ⚡

We definitely need to catch up.
Are you coming to Prague ?
Yup, see you there.
BTC map is a badly implemented concept that becomes obsolete the moment btc gains any significant (over 5%) adoption among merchants. Square will kill any use for BTC map when this goes into effect. Adding square merchants to BTC map automatically will kill it even harder and make it entirely pointless.
I say this as a square merchant already on BTC map.
There’s 50 million students whose schools don’t have SatsRewards system built in yet.
Are you currently integrated in any major bitcoin wallets like Zeus WoS or others?
Our mission is to become irrelevant.
The faster we can become useless, the better.
There ain't no Dollar Map.
WoS, Alby, Aqua.
Yo @Tando.me 👀
Based response 👏👏
Tried it out. Worked flawlessly. Used my own @Umbrel ☂️ and @ZEUS.
Bitcoin wins. This is the way.

Can we open up a lightning channel with block?
Hell yeah brother
The humble part at its best.
Finally.
Weird feeling of excitement and even shivers just thinking that we now have Square & FOSS @npub155m2...dcvg side by side, fueling bitcoin adoption in Vegas.
What a journey these past 7 years have been. Gradually, then suddenly!

Didn't Zeus do this last year?
turn on bitcoin payments from square pos?
no. not that i’m aware of. WoS created a POC to do it. but this would allow merchants to be paid in sats - fully intergrated into the pos system. which would be needed for inventory management and the like to properly run a business
Yeh 💪
this is step one to cashu world domination.
if cashapp just opened a mint, then there could be zero fee cashu nuts flying around.
let’s make it global

@miles 🌞 did you get my DMs?
Shoot them a catchy notification when we hit the next ATH.
Maybe highlight to them an estimate how many young people already own Bitcoin in their area.
when everything started ( Twitter DM )
*BTW I'd be curious what happened with the "Square Merchant Directory" from 2012.
It would be great to revive it, make it public, add flags for accepting Bitcoin, Location (physical/online) and let devs to create new discovery methods and channel all the traffic to you and your merchants.

Great work @jack 🫡

Amazing!!!
Yes go ahead
awesome
It takes another decade.. time to time 😉
My man jack 👊
Good 🤝😉
Into their custodial wallets, like this Paypal thing?
i just hope it is self custody.
hope this is self custody, not the shit cashu was promoting.
@jack hope you haven’t forgotten Australia? We are a nation in distress.
Nice! 🫶
Bitcoin is money! 🍻
Then ask him to explain this. "Seedless is safer"?!🙄
Yes.
Zeus has full square integration plus receive as ecash with no channel managemnet.
really? wow. thats epic.
👀 woah
I'll pillow talk with him.🫂I've heard concerns indeed and that department isn't quite giving the "Bitcoin (ethos) company" vibe. I think Jack might have to step in a bit more and do some clean up and reorganization there. As far as I know he's been given feedback and reflections straight from within. Old paradigm corporate culture with its layers of power structure hierarchoes and egocentricity is a sluggish toughy to reshape.
Not sure why you think he'll listen. All he's done is mock those who call him out on this and he has given no logical or rational explanation as to why BIP 177 will cause a reduction in confusion and help promote understanding of bitcoin. This false narrative he's trying to push seems like just another corporate manipulation tactic he's using to help promote Bitkey, which is already getting a fairly large amount of negative reception. Also, saying that the implementation of this particular line of thought will make it easier for others to understand bitcoin just shows how little faith he has in human intelligence.
This is silliness. Sellers can just use Bitcoin without using Square. Probably cost them less, and keep the power to transact in their own hands without going through a bank..
I thought you were referring to the seedless is safer phrase. Now you are talking about BIP 177... ?
Are the two related?
I haven't done my homework but just in passing I think I am getting the BIP 177 is the proposal to replace sats with Bitcoin's? Or what is it bits? bitties?
I personally don't have a strong attachment to either way. Intuitively though I am feeling having Bitcoin become an ubiquitous phrase used in the lexicon of people in their daily transacting might be better for Bitcoin... 🤷🏻♀️ And our daily transacting doesn't involve purchases over $100k+... But it is full of many small purchases that would be priced in satoshis. (Is that the argument anyways).
Why are you so passionate about this? What's your take?
Every corporation gets to have failed products, perhaps. And it makes sense that they will do their best to make it survive and hopefully thrive.
But how are the two related?
I am referring to Bitkey in the second part of my comment.
The two are related. First, seedless being safer is an outright lie. Imagine the security risks of not needing a seed phrase. And BIP177 is an attempt to rebrand satoshis by labeling 1 sat as 1 whole bitcoin. This literally goes against the whitepaper in the first place since their will only ever be 21 million, not 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins. Jack is trying to argue that people aren't smart enough to understand that their are 100 million sats in 1 whole bitcoin. Therefore, regarding this particular aspect, he is not educating the public on anything bitcoin-related, only spreading misinformation.
Why I'm passionate... well, that's simple: I don't like the spreading of misinformation for corporate gain.
Yep, they do. I was never arguing that. But, making the Bitkey display your sat balance as whole bitcoins will just confuse the public even more, not help them reach a level of better understanding.
This is huge! Proud to be a part of this community
Also, why would you want Block to hold one of your keys? That doesn't sound safe, imo.
he won't hit the stage hard enough for my taste, i'll tell you that. 🗑️ 
Way ahead of ya! My nickname is ":Christmas necktie" cuz I am loud and useless!
Oh wait.
I have been trying to convince some cash-only vendors I pass by everyday to use Square.
They are extremely resistant.
What am I doing wrong?
Square accepts visa and other fiat payment networks.
Certain small businesses are distrustful of high fees and/or don’t like fiat networks for other reasons.
A possible better bet if you want to pay with sats is to set them up with a wallet that accepts sats. E.g. @Minibits @OVO @Wallet of Satoshi phoenix etc.
This is big news.
Giving sellers the option, without them having to put the work in, is a huge bump...and one step closer.
