FeathercoinMap

I have been requested by Uncle Muddy to put up a map to show the merchants accepting Feathercoin.... and today I feel in the mood for writing a post to introduce you my (small) work. So, here we are, let me introduce you all FeathercoinMap!

Source: https://github.com/v.../feathercoinmap

This project is a fork of the popular CoinMap.org designed to only show merchants accepting FTC as a payment. The source is there to be downladed and tweaked! Especially the sloppy graphics.... :o

Temporary address: http://voingiappone....feathercoinmap/

I put the code (albeit a static version) on my free web hosting account. It is a subdomain but it is just a temporary host waiting for UM or Bushstar to be ready for integrating that in the main Feathercoin network.

Adding your venue: As for the time being, except for my two "test locations" only other two places are present in the map. Adding your venue is trivial. Just create an account on OpenStreetMap and start to edit! Just be sure to add the tag payment:feathercoin=yes to the venue you create and it will be automatically added to the map upon the next update.

Right now there is no automated map updating as the process needs to be done either manually or by scheduled runs of the updater script but let's fill this up before it goes "official"!!! I'll keep it up-to-date. I swear!

So, what do you think about the map? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks to Voingiappone, he has prototyped and completed a fork of the Open Merchant Map at coinmap for Feathercoin. All as a side issue to the Feathercoin, Merchant adoption thread.

This is a very good project that has got hidden I'll PM Ruthie for Publicity.

This [Dev] thread, in technical development - is for any further updates or questions and make the work more available.

Well done from me, anyway. wrapper

Voingiappone - Thanks for the hard work you've put into this :)

FeatherCoinMap is on Github! Clone it on a webserver an let me know if you like it!

I'll further edit the Readme file to serve as a small how-to with the instructions for updating the database (a simple task that was driving me crazy at the beginning due to lack of information).

Couple of notes:

- removed the multi-language support. English is enough and my language skills will only suffice for Italian, Spanish and Japanese (well, for Spanish we also have Xonar ;) )

- maybe a glitch but sometimes the info-box at the bottom refuses to close. Don't know why.

- The shadow icon (the "pin" on the map) and the background are original desingns (svg files inculded). FTC logo is the official.

- I've inserted a couple of dummy places on the map (guess where they are?!?). Will remove them when the testing is over. I was however very surprised to find TWO other venues with the tag properly set before we even start talking about this project. Forum members?

Well, that's all.... for now!

Comments please!

Oh! A screensot!
