Title: Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser Post by: jerfelix on August 16, 2013, 04:09:23 PM Andy Schroder developed a bitcoin controlled Fluid Dispenser (Think "gas pump where you self-serve pay by bitcoin").
This 20 minute video is cool. Unfortunately he's banished to the newbie area, so no one is seeing it on this forum. His post is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274702.msg2943141 And here's what Andy says: 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: http://andyschroder.com/BitcoinFluidDispenser/ You guys have to see this! Great work!

Yeah, you know those washing machines with coin slots? Just replace the coin slot with a bitcoin validator... and TADA! Bitcoinwashingmachine lol...https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/115 There are lots of ways to accept bitcoins :-) Title: Re: Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser Post by: geofflosophy on August 17, 2013, 04:48:48 AM This is badass. I'm in NYC so I don't drive very often, but I can't wait for the day that gas stations around the country accept BTC. Those life on bitcoin people seem to need you!

It does seem that bitcoins attract quite a bit of the "intellectual" crowd. I'm a hardware hacker myself and I get inspiration from things like this. Well done Mr. Schroder.

Well that mainly concerns it being called The Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser. Fluid Dispenser? Really? That yields an obvious punchline, and the fact that he doesn't even snicker a little when mentioning it throught the video lets me think he really is a genuine Aspie. Geez, lets call it Gas Dispenser, or maybe Fuel Dispenser.

Geez, lets call it Gas Dispenser, or maybe Fuel Dispenser. I'm totally with you. It's not the most compelling branding for a new product. I'm sure they'll come up with something better if it gets to market. I bet the inventor of the "artificial felt-covered warming device" never considered calling it a "Snuggie" until later. I actually though for a moment that it was dispensing some kind of "Bitcoin Fluid" and I was like, "Oh man...just when I thought I understood this crazy thing...there's a FLUID?!?" |
