It's great to see so many places around the world that have either a Bitcoin ATM or are a merchant that deals with Bitcoin.

Link to the live map: https://coinmap.org/view/#/world/12.06080906/-85.12207031/6



For comparison, here's a map with lightning nodes, available from https://explorer.acinq.co



The company behind the Bitcoin map is called coinmap. They did make an announcement here some years ago:


A lot of the data comes from OpenStreetMap, where you can just tag any business with this code:

Key:payment

Bitcoin tagging for businesses/nodes has been discussed on the tagging mailing list but maybe not yet voted on:

Code:
    payment:bitcoin=yes Bitcoin accepted as a payment method at the Point/Points of sale.
    payment:bitcoin=no Bitcoin is not accepted.
    payment:bitcoin=interval Bitcoin is accepted only at certain times; the notation for opening_hours=* can be used.
    payment:website:bitcoin=yes Bitcoin accepted through a business's website yes. If it is not, then choose no.
