Greenpages.cash: A new repository for Bitcoin BCH retailers that everyone should know about

GreenPages.cash is a new repository for Bitcoin BCH retailers that was recently launched. The site’s founder Jordan Brack believes that this site will be a new BCH merchant in the Bitcoin Cash merchant directories. The site took about two weeks to develop, and it is built on the LAMP stack using the Bootstrap framework. In the future, the site will add a “region” tag to merchants in the database, allowing even those stores without brick-&-mortar location to designate a service/shipping region. Moreover, the site will implement reporting/flagging system to help combat possible spam. Jordan Brack assumes that Greenpages.cash would be full of merchants, reviews, and users who would be sharing all their favorite Bitcoin Cash businesses in the next five years.
