Title: More Bitcoin ATMs Coming to Vancouver
Post by: The Bitcoin Co-op on December 01, 2013, 03:55:05 PM
Several Lamassu ATMs are coming to Vancouver. One should be here before February. The rest will be shipped on the day of CoinFest, February 15.

ITT I will announce the locations of the ATMs. The first one will be at India Gate Restaurant and Bar, at least for a period of time: https://www.facebook.com/events/605660176138226/

Is Lamassu planning to install Bitcoin ATMs anywhere outside Canada?

Can you give us more information about how it works and what is needed in order to be installed such an ATM. Maybe some of us can help adopting this system all around the world.

We're working with a company called Quadriga, who intends to launch an international Bitcoin exchange and link it to ATMs placed all over the world. They have chosen to partner with Lamassu as a manufacturer for various reasons--mostly cost-efficicency. The Cooperative supports Bitcoin adoption, so if you convince a venue to accept Bitcoin, we might get you an ATM, and Quadriga will split the profits with you. Rates will be very competitive by ATM market rates so far.

That sounds like something he might agree to. Will they use our open source POS? It's free :)

How it is working? Is it just software? I can ask them. It will be also good PR move from them to attract attention to the business and Bitcoin customers.

Runs in browser. We convert to equivalent fiat for you. I think it's a great PR move.

You can also just take the POS and run the fiat conversion in the back end yourself, given that it's open source.
