Hello!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are still working on improving and refining the service. So we will take into account all the feedback from our users whenever possible.

Why don't you add option to choose different countries without opening world map?
I had small issue and I didn't know how to return to main page, and then I found and clicked ₿ symbol in bottom right angle.

Hello, everyone!

During our time away from BitcoinTalk, the BitcoinWide directory has expanded significantly.

We currently feature over 8,000 businesses in our directory that accept Bitcoin and various other cryptocurrencies as forms of payment.

Furthermore, we've implemented a user-friendly search feature categorized by cryptocurrency type and sector.
We would be delighted to welcome you to our website — https://bitcoinwide.com 

Hey there, Bitcoin Talkers!

BitcoinWide is actively working on product development, as well as on website improvement. This constant development is to ensure that we deliver the best experience for crypto users and merchants who accept crypto.

There have been some updates to BitcoinWide in the past 2 months. Here are the exact changes we have implemented:

• We now have a blog! It includes articles about our product, but also about the crypto industry as a whole. We also are creating a big crypto glossary that includes all terms that are crypto-related. This glossary will be constantly updated so right now, it is available, but work is still being done.
• A FAQ page was added to ensure everyone understands our service
• A Cuberium landing page was added. Cuberium is BitcoinWide’s project, a metaverse that gives new opportunities to business owners.
• The ‘About Us’ page was updated, where you can find out about our team, our story, see our achievements and roadmap.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you very much for your feedback and advice, highly appreciated!
BitcoinWide Rates is currently under beta development and we are always looking for the best solutions for the service.

BitcoinWide Rates is not our main product at the moment, we are presently focused on BitcoinWide Search Engine and are actively working on developing a Metaverse for businesses (expect a release very soon). Meanwhile, we are constantly trying to improve BitcoinWide Rates and take into account all user feedback, it helps us grow and develop.

Hope your BitcoinWide experience will become even more pleasant soon!

Just had a quick glance at some of these features and I'd like to point out a few things:

• Some of the "featured" ads, don't belong to the categories that they're being shown.
• Enabling the "exchange markets" on the "best exchange rates" page leads to an infinite or rather a very long loading time and in the end, it doesn't show the appropriate results!
• It seems that you're using "Flyp.me's API" for your "quick coin swap" section and in case you didn't know, it "doesn't have a good reputation"!

Hey there! BitcoinWide is now back to BitcoinTalk!

We know, there hasn't been any news from BitcoinWide in a while. We have not disappeared, everything is fine, we promise!
The BitcoinWide team was quite busy working on improvements, brainstorming some amazing ideas and implementing some of them. Very soon we will announce on the BitcoinTalk pages what exactly was happening and what important updates were made to make BitcoinWide even better!

Just a small reminder for newcomers:
BitcoinWide connects online and offline businesses that accept crypto with customers who’d like to pay in crypto. And a bit more.

Stay tuned!

Nice improvement in regards to its search functionality but there's still a lot of missing businesses from less popular countries ^{[not sure users will take their time for listing/submitting those]}.

You might want to change ^[correct] your links by getting rid of the latter parts ^[);].

Moving forward with improving the cryptocurrency ecosystem.  

BitcoinWide achieved several improvements, making cryptocurrency-accepting businesses search better and more convenient.

At the same time, we are fulfilling our database continuously.
Over 4000 businesses are on board now.

What we have done:

- improved search algorithm;
- find a business by city name (e.g. “New York”);
- determining the city in the user’s search query (e.g. “pizza New York”);
- determining business category in the user’s search query (e.g. “eat New York”);
- map mode for mobile devices (https://bitcoinwide.com/map );
- displaying the most useful businesses on the map by default;
- improved image gallery, including swipes;
- Top 10 most popular search queries page (press “Search” with the empty search field, or visit https://bitcoinwide.com/user-search-queries-top );
- and more, including some minor bug fixes.

Tell us about your user experience, send your feedback, add some business, and subscribe to never miss updates.

Hi Guys,

While more feature development is ongoing, we have applied improvements in a form of quick links on the main page.
Your review is appreciated.

Subscribe to get updates once crucial updates are available.

Don't be shy, let us know your opinion

Check out BitcoinWide update.
"Add business" form was released and is available. One more useful feature was added:

New:

• Add a business form. https://bitcoinwide.com/business/add
• Quick links on the main page.
• Quick links on the map show places near you.

More than 3000 businesses are in the database right now and more are updated each day. Your help is appreciated  

Please post your opinion regarding the form and bugs found so we can see what have missed.

Our next main task is to deliver an improved search algorithm. Why has it is not delivered yet? Well, it is a complex problem to make it very simple and clear from the user's point of view (ask Google). We want to train it to recognize your queries and search requests, so you can receive relevant answers to what you need and where you need it.

We also have some questions for business owners and those who spend cryptocurrencies:

1. As a business owner, would you like to have an option to add some facts about your business (like date of foundation, type of business, etc)?
2. As a user, how likely are you will install a mobile App and add new points accepting cryptocurrency with this App in case it will be simple and easy?
3. Would you create an account when we will release a User/Business Dashboard?

Thanks for discovering it
Never seen it before. We will fix it soon.

I found some bugs :
 - Search for a specific item like Pizza and once the results are displayed after the shadow loaders, press the <- back button on top of the search-bar, you will see that it doesn't really go back but keeps re-loading the same page and gets stuck in the same loop. For my surprise, even the back button of the browser doesn't take me to the main page.

I could find more haha it's a small bug but aesthetics are important. 

Version 1.0.1 release
June 21, 2019

Bug fixes:

- In search results, the hidden left sidebar is opening now, after a click on a map marker.
- Search results. Position on the page is now always focused at the top of the page during page browsing.
- The unattached photo of sharing popup in the map mode is fixed.

Glad to hear that

Android and iOS applications will be developed for sure. Not so far.

For the minimal version which you can see now, we will make recognition of users' devices display, so users can get mobile devices adopted version when visiting the website from a mobile device.

It will look very close to the mobile application and will be comfortable enough as an interim solution.

I'm a fan of the concept. What are the options for making this as an application on mobile devices?

Thank you for this comment. It shows that we are thinking in the same direction with users because the search algorithm and relevant search results are a priority for the next releases.

During the development of the search/relevance algorithm, we have a goal to rid users of the need to set additional search parameters during the search, so you can simply enter your search request and get exactly what you need and where you need it withour setting additional parameters for your search request. Considering misspellings, location, and more.

We are trying to recognize what the request exactly means.
Please note, that the current release is a basic MVP version.

We also discuss it on Reddit:

If you know any business, shop, or service to buy PS4 with cryptocurrency, please add it to our database. Thanks

Search function needs to be coded properly. The fuzzy search logic doesn't seem like a perfect choice here. I searched for a TV [Television] and it rerturned results from all the services that had a TV in their service name like FruTVpn. It should show relevant results and not based on matching search keywords. Otherwise, it's a good website with a lot of potential. I searched for a PS4 and it didn't show any services that do so. I'm sure I can buy a PS4 online with bitcoins.
