Bitcoin Forum

Buy a cup of coffee for $3.25 and automatically purchase 75₵ worth of bitcoin. Watch your bitcoin stash grow as you spend. The easiest, entirely passive route to saving bitcoin.

After months of a closed beta, our public launch is finally here (on the App Store at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lawnmower-spare-change-into/id965079226?mt=8). We appreciate all the support and feedback we received from everyone who checked out our product in its infancy.

If you haven't already, check out Lawnmower.io for a quick About, FAQ, etc., and link to download our app. Currently, you'll need to log into (or create) a Coinbase Account as well as a financial account at Citi, Chase, US Bank, BoA, or Wells to fully register and start converting your spare change into bitcoin, but we're testing Android and web versions now and are exploring integrations with more robust transaction data API providers to expand our supported banks.

As always, please let us know what you think and thanks again.

Is this service available for the rest of the world? or just USA only?
would nice to have this kind of app in my phone  :D

Can you shed some light on what your fees are (if any, and if not, how the app makes money)? This is a great concept, and it's done in the stock market as well (i.e., automatically buying stocks with excess change).

Seems like a very unique concept to me... I will be waiting for the launch of the Android app, as well as the introduction of Canadian banks!

I was thinking about this and... how are the withdrawals (for purchases) made? There's a limit of like 3 transfers/month for savings accounts, so this seems like it would possibly go over that limit.

Interesting. Will my family be able to use my account whenever they're out for some shopping and decided to put the spare change in it?

Right now it's just USA only mostly due to banking support constraints :( To use the app you need to log in/create a Coinbase account and also link up a spending account (credit/debit card, checking acct, etc.) for us to watch your transactions for spare change. When we launched we could support only 5 large US banks (Chase, BoA, Citi, Wells, US Bank), and we just launched support for USAA, AmEx, and SVB yesterday, but we are now working on integrating with a transaction data API provider that can hopefully help us support a multitude of banks from all over the world.

Madonino but in europe (if a remember, you are italian like me) the cup of coffee don't cost $3.25, but only 1 euro  ;D

This is a very innovative idea. I am an Android user though but would definitely be interested in using this service. Does it work for any currency? If not then I would like to suggest that you intergrate it with all major currencies. I'm from the UK so use GBP. Obviously Euro and USD too.

Sorry if this matter has already been covered. I will read up more on it when my Android tablet is charged up, I probably wont be using it until tomorrow now as it is late at night.

I will be back tomorrow at some point to give you my feedback.

Good luck with this unique and very useful project. We need something like this. I would use this for sure when I do happen to ave a few extra pennies.

I think it's less about the currencies than it is about the banks that are supported. They're currently working with U.S.-based banks. If they are able to (or want to?) expand, other currencies could be a part of that.

I searched the Google Play store on my Android but could not find the app. Although I did bookmark the website.

Where would I be able to get hold of the android version of the app?

Maybe I just didn't search  for correct term. I just typed in "lawnmower.io" and nothing really came up (not an app anyway)

Right now we're constrained to supporting only major US banks and $ (about 8 right now) due to our 3rd party API provider, Plaid (plaid.com) who we use for the transaction data stream to track your spare change. We're working on expanding out to support as many banks as we can in the near future (including international banks, small credit unions, etc.), and Coinbase already supports many countries around the world, so Lawnmower should be able to support multiple new countries and currencies soon! :)

We do also have an Android app if you didn't catch the link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.lawnmower.mobile
