Yes, I know. I’d been doing my best to keep up with it and enter new merchants by hand with the OSM editor. Now that users can self-add to our map, it’s going to get harder to keep up. I know OSM frowns on API edits (and it would be tricky to do right I think).

I was thinking about this, Nostr profiles with geo coordinates could be interesting for this type of mapping.

Interesting, I'll followup there as well. I'll have to look into how this could be used for geospacial location of a merchant (perhaps with NIP-15 Marketplaces) and for profiles. Could also be interesting to be able to list in a broad geographic area, rather than specific to the meter. Thus you could search for stores in a geographic region as well as products and services, similar to Bitcoin Jungle, Bitcoin Beach, Oshi and BTC Map.
