+# Let's put those Korean merchants on the map!
+
+Great to see you here. Below you'll find everything you need to help us tag Korean businesses [that now accept Bitcoin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOzE5nNegI)
+payments. Work at your own pace, aim for quality over quantity, ask questions anytime on Matrix, and most of all: have fun while mapping!
+
+# What you'll need
+
+- A computer with two monitors (makes life easier)
+- Access to [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) (OSM), [Gitea](https://gitea.btcmap.org/) and [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#btcmap:matrix.org)
+- Access to Facebook & Instagram for quick verifications
+- Some OSM tagging experience, or the willingness to read our guide
+- A careful eye and a bit of perseverance
+
+**Tip**: use the same handle on OSM, Gitea and Matrix so we can ping you quickly if something looks odd
+
+If you'd like, we'll pair you with a buddy who will walk you through tagging your very first ticket.
+
+**Keen to help?** 
+Please complete the [Become a Tagger](https://btcmap.org/tagger-onboarding) form.
+
+# Before you start
+
+Pop into the [Matrix #shadowy-supertaggers channel](https://matrix.to/#/#btcmap-taggers:matrix.org) and say hi. We'd love to get to know you a bit before you dive in.
+
+# Step-by-step workflow
+
+### 1. Log in to Gitea
+### 2. Pick a ticket
+    Open any open issue → click “Assignees” on the right → choose yourself
+### 3. Verify the merchant
+Just like Bitcoin, it's "_don't trust but verify_". Search engines, the company website, Facebook and Instagram are your friends.
+Rule of thumb: website data wins.
+### 4. Check OSM
+    Click the “OpenStreetMap editor link” in the Gitea ticket.
+Zoom in/out to see if the place is already mapped.
+
+**Already there?** 
+
+    Add the following tags:
+
+`check_date:currency:XBT=`
+
+`check_date=`
+
+`currency:XBT=yes`
+
+`payment:lightning=yes`
+
+`payment:lightning_contactless=no`
+
+`payment:onchain=no`
+
+Toggle between **list** and **text** views to speed up your workflow.
+

+
+**Not there yet?**
+
+Only brick-and-mortar shops, cafés, offices, or other publicly accessible venues belong on OSM, purely online stores don't. If the pin drops in what looks like a house and you can't spot a shop-front, logo, or street-level sign, please mark the ticket as _rejected_ in Gitea.  If the address looks residential but is clearly shown on the company website, go ahead and add it.  When a clear storefront or office sign is visible, map away!
+
+    Click "Point" in the OSM web editor and drop it on the correct doorstep.
+![point](https://gitea.btcmap.org/teambtcmap/btcmap-general/raw/branch/main/wiki-images/wiki-point.png)
+
+    Choose the most fitting category (restaurant, hairdresser, coffeehouse, café etc.).
+Need help picking the right category? Take a [look here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features).
+    
+    Add name  
+Normal case, no ALL-CAPS (drop legal suffixes like LLC/ Inc./ Corp.).
+    
+    Add full address
+House number, Street, Suite/Unit (if provided), City, State (two capital letters) and Zipcode (only the first 5 digits).
+
+    Add phone number
+Use syntax +82 123 456 7890
+
+    Add email
+Use syntax in all lowercase
+    
+    Add opening hours
+The correct syntax for opening hours is explained [here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours). Use [Yo Hours](https://projets.pavie.info/yohours/) and the [opening hours evaluation tool](https://openingh.openstreetmap.de/evaluation_tool/?lng=en) to build the string.
+    
+    Add website
+        
+Optional extras if listed:
+
+`contact:facebook=`
+
+`contact:instagram=`
