Extension summary

Shows an icon in the URL bar when the site that you're visiting accepts Bitcoin. The addon currently gets this information from a server-side list generated by scraping:

http://www.reddit.com/r/btcbase?limit=100 http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/spend-bitcoins/online-stores-accepting-bitcoins/

The addon also features a "stumble" option that takes you to a random Bitcoin-accepting site.

If you notice a site missing or a site incorrectly listed as taking Bitcoin, there are two ways to correct the problem:

  1. Submit a correction by clicking on the icon and hitting the button. Corrections are reviewed manually, and will be taken into account as soon as I get to it.
  2. If a site is missing, list it on reddit.com/r/btcbase, and it will be automatically scraped and added within 12-36 hours.
