Title: Bitcoin community, I need help with your knowledge of local Bitcoin ATMs!
Post by: alonshvartsman on March 25, 2020, 01:30:45 PM
I've been building an open-source Bitcoin ATM map for a couple of months now and have listed over 2000+ working ATMs => www.bitrawr.com/bitcoin-atms

The open-source repo for the ATMs is here => https://github.com/alonshvartsman/bitrawr-geojson

If you see that one of your local ATMs is not on the map, please add it to the repo! The format is GeoJSON but you can also send me an email (alon@bitrawr.com) with the following information about your local ATM:

Name:
Description:
Address:
Hours:
Phone number:
Website:
Longitude:
Latitude:

Let's help people find the best ways to get access to Bitcoin!
PS. I know that Bitcoin ATMs charge very high fees. I'm aware of this. Unfortunately, for a large portion of the world, this is the quickest and most convenient way to buy or sell Bitcoin.

Thanks for your time and help everyone!

Also I have created a post on our ATM located on our country. This is a local post, but you can get some info that you wanted but not limited to the information indicated there. Here is the link.

I have yes, but here is my issue. CoinATMRadar is not an open-source community-driven project. Most ATM maps I've seen are closed databases that are hardly kept up-to-date. I'm looking to change that by open-sourcing it and allowing all individuals to contribute.

I do not think that making the project open source or not will affect the decisions of the person who pays the subscription because the main purpose of these projects "the key to their success" is to obtain a database with correct and updated information.

How will you get such a database? What are the ways to ensure that the projects are real (active and not scam with real data)? Are there any steps to verify the data? And how it will be?

You can also, publish more details about ATMs, exchange fees and evaluation of users of these machines and other data.

There are plenty of ways to invest in Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies without needing to pay the ridiculous fees from crypto ATMs.

BestChange shows a huge range of different exchange rates which you can get while using the platform, or you can also look for private OTC groups to find locals to exchange cryptocurrencies directly for cash.

I don't think you understand what this thread is about. It's not about someone looking to cash some bitcoin, please reread.

If it's a community-driven database then I guess he hopes user would vote for deleting/adding new ATMs.
