[OSM-talk] Menufy.com added hundrets of stores with payment:bitcoin=yes, which don't accept Bitcoin

[Simon Poole]

I would be less concerned about the bitcoin aspect of it, but given that
the user is adding further information which is quite useful, it should
be clear if he actually has permission to do so (and a valid source tag
would be a good idea too).
