Post by: andyschroder on April 02, 2014, 03:43:32 AM

I've developed a prototype retail diesel fuel dispenser that accepts bitcoin for payment.

That would be........ awesome!!! I would think that over time it would lower your fuel cost as well since you are not using deflated fiat currency.

The fuel dispensers that currently exist have features heads and tails above this.  Wouldn't a better idea be to integrate with those dispensers, maybe with a module add-on?

Getting retailers to give up valuable space for a machine that can't accept credit/debit is going to be a hard sale.

Otherwise, it is a neat idea!  :)

Great work Andy, as that's an impressive prototype!  Very cool tech.

Love to see more of these dispensers sprout up.  Best of luck!
