Just looked at the bitcoin map for near me and noticed:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2541566146

Again, someone just listing their business as a node, no physical presence indicated on the map though. He's just trying to get his website linked from OSM!

Hello,

A little while ago Amaroussi posted a diary entry about people adding bitcoin payment info to OSM objects:

I've just spotted somebody adding a node that looks like it's solely for the purpose of showing up on listings like CoinMap:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2631585539

In this case, it looks like it's just a business listing for a carpenter who happens to live in this tower block, not a physical workshop (which could conceivably be added as building=yes and craft=carpenter).

Has anyone else noticed these? I'm inclined to contact the user explaining why I think he/she should delete the node. I wouldn't want to see OSM fill up with pointless info like this.

Regards,
Tom
