The widget allows anyone to host the directory, which contains 5500 businesses, covering more than 120 countries across the globe.
Anyone can buy and sell their products through BitScan’s classifieds marketplace for free. BitBuzz, the company’s in-house e-zine, fully rewards contributors by leveraging bitcoin’s micro-payment friendly architecture.
The company also plans to launch the directory in various formats, including Android and Chrome.
BitScan CEO Rob Wilson told Finextra that while bitcoin’s utility as a store of value is clearly recognised, its adoption as a medium of trade is immature and for the wider public it remains something of an enigma.

BitScan aims to pull this all together. We hope and believe the applications we are building will help accelerate bitcoin across the chasm to mainstream acceptance," he concluded.
