Title: Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser
Post by: andyschroder on August 16, 2013, 02:38:09 AM
I've developed a mobile, automated fluid dispenser that accepts bitcoin as the payment mechanism. You can watch a video and see some pictures about the device at the following web address:

Nice one.

I really like you hobbyists. How much work was it to get this working?

You should easily find investors for it.

As a person who invest and invested in a lot of bitcoin startups, I don't think any of us want part of it ;)

Does everything need to be "a money maker"?

I also like bitcoin because i's a financial system with many APIs that are open for everyone and allow people to build stuff just for the curiosity and he fun of building.

No, I don't think there is a real need for a device like that, but I can appreciate the technical skill and the tinker spirit behind it.  :)

The idea of it is a winner. Its basically a like a vending machine where you get you bag of chips. It can be adapted to anything. If Bitcoin will be a real currency you will need to be able to spend it

Nice work. What motivated you to come up with such a design? And what are your plans with this for the near and far future?

Really enjoyed seeing that. A bit rough around the edges sure, but it shows how easy BTC is to accept for certain businesses. Great stuff

This is so great and because of the bitcoin acceptance it is even better.  :)
