Title: The First Bitcoin ATM Has Arrived Post by: BitcoinScholar on February 26, 2013, 09:59:50 PM During Liberty Forum 2013 the first Bitcoin ATM was used. Even though I live in New Hampshire (Free State Project!) I didn't get to go to Liberty Forum this year. None the less I know many individuals that used the Bitcoin ATM and said it worked great by using a live connection to Mt.Gox. Here are a few articles:

I was wondering what the incentive for a retailer would be to BUY one of these instead of getting paid to let someone put it in their store.

Title: Re: The First Bitcoin ATM Has Arrived Post by: Rothgar on February 26, 2013, 10:34:48 PM I'm sure the dubious website is not the website of the Bitcoin ATM at the liberty forum. The bitcoin ATM at the liberty forum was a prototype. So if someone tries to sell you an ATM it might be a scam. The prototype was made by Zach Harvey, as the other articles state. Josh and Matt were very important for technical support and it couldn't have been done with out Matt's programing, and Josh's work with the hardware.

Thanks, lassdas. I was in a hurry to post this and grabbed a link I was looking at in place of the correct one. ShireSilver gave the one I meant to put up. Title: Re: The First Bitcoin ATM Has Arrived Post by: veteranBtc on February 27, 2013, 12:34:26 PM Bitcoin ATMs ??
They did a great job! Title: Re: The First Bitcoin ATM Has Arrived Post by: dave111223 on February 27, 2013, 12:51:49 PM If they intend to sell the bitcoin ATMs to businesses that accept bitcoin; won't it make a bit of a mockery of bitcoins.
Shop Owner: We accept bitcoins Customer: Oh really? Where do I get them? Shop Owner: Over there at that machine Customer: ...goes over, puts in cash, gets bitcoins on his phone, waits for confirmations, walks up cashier and transfers bitcoins, more waiting... Shop Owner: ...then walks over and takes the cash out of ATM and send the bitcoins back to Lamassu... *High five each other*..."Yay we used bitcoins" Sounds like a monty python bit Title: Re: The First Bitcoin ATM Has Arrived Post by: 2weiX on February 27, 2013, 01:01:52 PM I'll buy one.

I can imagine that this machine is great for money transfer companies though, who can either use it to wire money to other offices across the world, or can sell bitcoins in places where people would otherwise have trouble obtaining bitcoins.

Shop Owner: We accept bitcoins. By the way, you can also send money to your family in Mexico by using BTC. Customer: Oh really? Where do I get them?

I'll buy three. Title: Re: The First Bitcoin ATM Has Arrived Post by: ben-abuya on March 15, 2013, 08:49:04 PM We're working hard on a production prototype and we're making good progress. As soon as I have something more concrete to show, I'll post here.
