Re: Spending-bitcoin.com - The biggest directory of webshops accepting Bitcoin!
Definitely need a new listing site. Great to see this effort. Almost everything I try to use as you say is outdated, my suggestion also is to use a geographic categorisation (by country maybe, or by where they ship to). I got a whole lot of sites from my country that mostly, when I visited, actually either no longer accept BTC or the people who run the shop don't know how to operate it.
One more thing: might be a good idea to list the payment processor. As in, Antonoupoulos using BTCPay Server and thuisbezorg using BitPay.
Another thing, I think the effort needs to be spread out, or somehow linked to Google or some other big service like that because the moment you stop updating, you get yet another site that becomes old and outdated.

Considering all the feedback regarding the countries we will add that information to the sidebars. It will be a lot of work to enter the countries since they'll have to be checked manually so please allow us some time to check all 700+ pages
.We have tried to list the payment processors but in reality over 90% of the websites don't display their payment processor anywhere. We'd have to walk through the entire purchase process in order to find out, which is way too time consuming. Only showing the payment processor on a few websites would look messy.
What exactly do you mean by 'linked to Google'?
As we stated before, most of the websites are shipping worldwide so it shouldn't be an issue where they are located. We're looking into the possibilities of adding such a feature.
I would also like to see where each site is located because some things just aren't worth buying because of the pretty expensive shipping, customs, and VAT costs. In some cases, goods purchased in the US and shipped to the EU are more expensive then if we buy the same thing in EU.
As for the site itself, I can say that it is a really great project, and as far as I can see the number of links is constantly increasing. I will definitely do my best to check some categories and maybe submit some new links.
At first glance I notice that in the category "Hosting" is not listed https://www.steadyturtle.com/ which is a very well known hosting company on this forum for years. Of course, they accept Bitcoin as a means of payment.
Thanks for notifying us about SteadyTurtle. Feel free to add it yourself and find out how easy it is to submit new websites
