Title: Mrbitco.in ATM Collective starts to sell Litecoin today
Post by: skorek on April 26, 2014, 03:25:50 PM
Mrbitco.in ATM Collective is growing. We have now 10 ATM from diferrent producers. Our goal is to bring bitcoin close to every household on the planet.

We sell BTC Bitcoin and Litecoin
[/b]


Finance wise it depends on what is expect by us. We try to grow and keep our resources local.

We want to operate like a collective, when you can buy part of ATM and get paid every month from transaction fee. This way we can grow faster and we can place more ATM in shorter time of period. We know that divident system is kind of problematic in bitcoin reality. We don't give it a name, we are still busy and on the lookout for right solution. We look at Mastercoin. We look at Counterparty. We don't use banks, we use only local miners or exchanges, who supply machines with BTC or cash.

We currently run the IT network for the ATMs at our customer locations. We service the units or provide maintenance servcies in case of problems. (like cleaning bill acceptor, cash removal, restarts, troubleshooting, etc.) We also run their backend software if required by the ATM. Business model depends on the location and ownership model. Some ATM units are private owned, others are own by collective of people and others are factory owned. In all cases we keep their units operational. (within reason, sometimes problems caused by situations beyond control like blockchain.info down). We serve as a local point of contact for support. We promote the locations on Coinmap and in the Bitcoin Media. We help promote the ATM brand by answering questions about the ATMs at meetups and conferences.

We help build awareness for the ATM brands we operate: BTC-O-Matic, General Bytes, BitAccess, BitXatm, Lamassu. We help field test their units. Depending on the stability of the units, the amount of time between service calls. We can place these units all over the Netherlands. Should they be maintenance prone, we will only be able to use them in the Amsterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht areas. We hope they will be stable enough for national deployment.

The BATM units from General Bytes are refille by miners we know here in the area. They fill our machines with Bitcoin, we collect the cash and sell at Bitstamp + transaction fee. Cash from the machine we pay to the owner of the Bitcoins sold . The commission is MrBitcoin's for operating the machine and the server backend. These machines are private owned or crowdfunded and own by the collective.

The BitAccess machines are 2-way and come with a cash recycler, reducing 'cash-calls' for us. Need us to have a float at the exchange. We get these machines placed for free and split commission with the factory. Should bank fees (cash deposits, transfers to / from Bitstamp, Kraken, etc.) go up, these fees have to renegotiate.

Current AML / KYC regulations are not implemented in the BTC-O-Matic units now. BATM units we configured have text message or fingerprint for transactions above 2000 EUR. and a photoID plus fingerprint for transactions above 15.000 EUR. These transactions must be report. We can also option for another form of verification, in general we stick to our limit and we should be safe since these units are one way only. The Lamassu 2-way unit will have a bit of an issue in this field as it is a 2-way and no AML / KYC features have been install as of today. Should the machines have no KYC / AML features, we can always limit them to the 2000 EUR / transaction. We found that if people need to register, they walk away from the machine. We don't want to put up any more barriers to buy bitcoin than needed by law.

Can I turn btc to euros if I'm there on vacation?  Hate my bank and their fees.  Btw, what are the fees to process btc thru your machine?

Those are my same questions.
Wife and I went to Vietnam last year. We didn't want to carry around too much cash, so we used the local ATM's a couple times. It ended up costing nearly $15 in total fees each time we took out money. If the bitcoin ATM's make it so these fees are drastically reduced, it could change the way we travel.

This is one way machine, so you can only spend your fiat currency, there is standard fee of 2%.

soon A'dam will have 2 way bitcoin ATM machines at several central locations.

There is just a matter of delivery and writing the bank end software. The machine itself is just hardware.

This has nothing to do with me but i have met the person behind buying them and writing the back end.

Look forward to that then, its going to be great when you won't need to do any currency exchanging when you travel and can just draw out local currency with your BTC.

Yes. They are legit. BTC-O-MATIC is already operating a number of Bitcoin ATMs and they have received no complaints as of now. Cheaper when compared to Robocoin. But still needs to get more affordable.

Actually who is about to buy such a machine dosn't really care If It's $4000 or $7000. Usually wealthy people buy things like that so I don't think that It's anything to discuss about the price.

If we really want widespread adoption by the general public, then we must aim for sub-2,000 levels. Won't be difficult, if we bulk produce them in thousands of units.  ;D

A name "coffee shop" might be confusing for some people ... :P but in most of the countries "Coffee Shop" means  a shop with a coffee :D

I think this is good place. It will promote Bitcoin to coffee drinkers :D and to the people in different ages.

we will need more people to use them, right now i know there are around 15 atms in europe, but they sell only about 1 BTC per month. so we need more belivers and users for those atms. the one i placed on friday evening in Amsterdam, sold just 120 Euro of BTC in 3 days, so it's would need much more users to conviced people to use it. owner of this particular Cafe is very open for bitcoin, but all the young people working there are very sceptical about ATM and BTC, they just don't belive any one will buy any BTC via it, so it's up to Us to use those machines now, change 10$ or 20$ just to show that there are people in the world that use bitcoin.

Indeed. Once every vendor accepts bitpay they are not accepting bitcoin, only a third party payment processor called bitpay, kid of like paypal or mastercard.
If all the merchants who adopted bitpay got told bitpay was stopping, they would not know what to do with bitcoin and would not accept it.

That is true, but I am afraid using bitpay is the only easy way for merchants to accept bitcoin and they don't need to care about the ups and downs in bitcoin price.

Well merchant adoption is centralized around one third party financial institute, bitcoin is broken, repeat bitcoin is broken!

First paragraph  of the white paper describes BTC as a transfer of value without the need for third party institutions.

I understand the problem mentioned.
My point is, the costs to 99.9% of businesses (rents, wages, electricity bills, raw materials, etc) are now all in fiat. So, it is not easy for the merchants to receive something high-fluctuated in price IMO.

i 100% agree with you, but centralizing merchant adoption around bitpay and coinbase (any others?) is not a solution to the problem, it is just building a problem on top of a problem. Real merchant adoption of bitcoin can't happen until the price is more stable, which will probably be when people stop using Bitcoin as a store of value( i am guilty of this) and actually as a method of transacting online.

and guys we have to realize that there will be not much transactions this year at bitcoin accepting cafes or restaurants, maybe few people a months, so we are talking 100.00 maybe 200.00 euro, if there is bitcoin conferance in the city maybe more. So there is not so much risk for this small bussines to accepted and take a small risk or maybe big reward. coinbase and bitpay are concentrating on the big fishes, they are not much interested in small merchants, they just made a website for them and they charge 1% transaction fee for useing it, i think they should be free solution to this

Well, with 1% fee it's still cheaper than the card networks. However I understand that some businesses (like cafés) are get paid mainly in cash, where they don't have to pay any transaction fees - so it might seem like they're losing money.

But when you look at the problem, you'll notice accepting Bitcoin, even with a 1% fee, will drive customers to your business (maybe not many yet, but definitely some) which it would never had otherwise had - so that 1% is basically nothing compared to not having had those sales to start with.

Define 'banned'. I don't think any country have 'banned' it outright but some have put certain restrictions on it or from banks / businesses dealing with it. There's a lot of misinformation and uncertainty about too.

Quote
Since mid-January, various arms of the Russian government have made moves designed to deter the use of Bitcoin and other virtual currency. On January 15, 2014, Russian legislators proposed three anti-terrorist amendments that impose regulations that would impose strict limits of 1000 RUR (30 USD) per day per person and 15000 RUR (450 USD) per month on anonymous “electronic” money transfers.[1] The proposed laws couple vague definitions of "anonymous" and "electronic" which potentially expose Bitcoin exchanges and users who exceed the limits to punishments of large fines and/or imprisonment.[2] On January 27, the Central Bank of Russia warned that businesses involved with Bitcoin would potentially be considered involved in money laundering or terrorism financing.[3] And finally, on February 6, the Prosecutor General's office appears to have said that Bitcoins and virtual currency are not legal tender, and thus, can not be used by citizens and legal persons in Russia.[4] This is a stark departure from the Russia of 2013, which was very bullish on ventures that provide technology-enabled transfers. But, virtual currency is not without Russian advocates. On January 24, 2014, Sberbank chief, Herman Gref, signaled opposition to restrictions on virtual currencies - calling them a "colossal step backward."[5] Perhaps more voices like this will temper the response to Bitcoins in the near future.
That is what I meant. Restrictions are there, not banned completely.

You're being overly simplistic if you say cash does not apply fees.

Indeed if you accept cash there's no company who will charge fees on the cash, however, if you deposit the cash at the bank you will need to pay a high price (banks are not happy with cash transactions), and the cash needs to be transported securily (not cheap either), and on top of that cash is a hassle (you need to have plenty of change) and a risk (the more cash you have in your store, to more likely it is you will get robbed).

So with all those disadvantages of cash, I doubt they will see a 1% fee as a disadvantage.

1) The paper wallets you showed is just a representation and the private key is the lock. With it, ANYONE can take your money (use the vault + lock metaphor)

relatively, yes. absolutely, no.

The Netherlands has, compared to other countries in the world, quite a lot of shops that accept bitcoin, but it's still not anywhere near mass adoption.

I'm still waiting for the first supermarket chain to adopt it. I have contacted one of the largest chains around December, but they never acted on it, sadly.

I really don't see that happening, as the maker of the ATM probably has it set to sell its BTC to customers at slightly higher than average market prices, and buying BTC from customers at slightly lower than average market prices. So the profit margin is probably absorbed by the ATM makers or whoever runs it.

As far as the coffee shop that it is next to, you really need to find a way to offer at least a temporary discount to customers paying in BTC. You (skorek) might need to absorb these costs, maybe for a month or two. But there needs to be some kind of incentive for these people to buy BTC so that they can buy coffee cheaper. Otherwise -yes BTC is cool- but "why wouldn't I just walk in with cash and buy coffee with cash?" is what these customers might think/say.

Props to you though! I hope your venture is very successful, and every other maker of BTC ATMs. Mass adoption, baby.

But this is the thing, the market sometimes fluctuates so much that even with the commission factored in, depending on how much this was, it may be viable to trade on two-way machine. Of course, the machine operator would still get their cut. Just curious to know how often it refreshes the market rate.

I imagine that market fluctuations would be smoothed by taking an average value of sorts.

Agree with the idea of slightly discounted cost of buying goods. Any form of discount is enough to make people question why that form of payment would be preferable.

try getting the source code & control of the software first so you can see you ATM is secure and the developers(who still control the closed software) are not copying the private keys the machine gives out.

We can add some other coins to the ATM:

We will count your votes.

Darkcoin? NEXT? Blackcoin? Doge? etc... Which one you would like to buy at the ATM Colective?

Let Us Know...

try getting the source code & control of the software first so you can see you ATM is secure and the developers(who still control the closed software) are not copying the private keys the machine gives out.

also can I get that 0.09btc your owe me?

How can I know if the ATM only giving back BTC and can not do the opposite?

Every ATM is sending BTC to your private wallet, that you are in control. So it's impossible to send them from there. Only you can do it.

 I was under the impression the ATM's printed "temporary" private keys to a btc address if you did not already own a wallet.

my concerns are incorrect and inaccurate, my apologies.

So great news from Bitcoin ATM collective. www.Mrbitco.in

Since today, there is a second machine in Amsterdam which become operational, we just finish testing today. 3 more are already in Holland and will be ready by the end of this week. ATM are from General Bytes. We will configure all 4 ATM's to the servers in the begin of next week and they will be ready to go into big fiat money world. If you own premium location ( The Netherlands only) and you are big fun of bitcoin, lets us know. We are looking for good homes for all 4 machines.

false.

kraken trade fee 0.2%. = 480.55 per coin based on 479.6 + 0.2%
atm trade fee 6% = 503 per coin based on 475 + 6%

you may be more convenient if in the area and it saves the whole verification process on kraken which takes 24hrs without submitting any real documents.

your machine will and does have advantages but certainly not the lowest price in the industry. the main advantage would be for those looking to buy or sell anonymously and in a hurry without going via their bank.

Title: Re: First Bitcoin ATM in Amsterdam
Post by: ShakyhandsBTCer on June 13, 2014, 12:10:57 AM
i 100% agree with you, but centralizing merchant adoption around bitpay and coinbase (any others?) is not a solution to the problem, it is just building a problem on top of a problem. Real merchant adoption of bitcoin can't happen until the price is more stable, which will probably be when people stop using Bitcoin as a store of value( i am guilty of this) and actually as a method of transacting online.


and guys we have to realize that there will be not much transactions this year at bitcoin accepting cafes or restaurants, maybe few people a months, so we are talking 100.00 maybe 200.00 euro, if there is bitcoin conferance in the city maybe more. So there is not so much risk for this small bussines to accepted and take a small risk or maybe big reward. coinbase and bitpay are concentrating on the big fishes, they are not much interested in small merchants, they just made a website for them and they charge 1% transaction fee for useing it, i think they should be free solution to this
Well, with 1% fee it's still cheaper than the card networks. However I understand that some businesses (like cafés) are get paid mainly in cash, where they don't have to pay any transaction fees - so it might seem like they're losing money.

But when you look at the problem, you'll notice accepting Bitcoin, even with a 1% fee, will drive customers to your business (maybe not many yet, but definitely some) which it would never had otherwise had - so that 1% is basically nothing compared to not having had those sales to start with.

You're being overly simplistic if you say cash does not apply fees.

Indeed if you accept cash there's no company who will charge fees on the cash, however, if you deposit the cash at the bank you will need to pay a high price (banks are not happy with cash transactions), and the cash needs to be transported securily (not cheap either), and on top of that cash is a hassle (you need to have plenty of change) and a risk (the more cash you have in your store, to more likely it is you will get robbed).

So with all those disadvantages of cash, I doubt they will see a 1% fee as a disadvantage.

There would not be any companies that will charge a fee to accept bitcoin. For companies it would be the opposite as they no longer have the costs associated with VISA/MC or the costs associated with transferring cash to the bank (this does cost companies money).

Where a percentage fee would come into play in when you are exchanging fiat for bitcoin (at an ATM, or an exchange).

Bitcoin ATM Collective is the only decentralized organization where you can buy part of ATM, help bitcoin exposure and earn some crypto from transation fee. We have the cheapest transaction fee of 5%.


Title: Re: Bitcoin ATM Collective place 3 ATM's in Amsterdam

Mrbitco.in ATM Collective is growing. We have now 10 ATM from diferrent producers. Our goal is to bring bitcoin close to every household on the planet.

Finance wise it depends on what is expect by us. We try to grow and keep our resources local.

We want to operate like a collective, when you can buy part of ATM and get paid every month from transaction fee. This way we can grow faster and we can place more ATM in shorter time of period. We know that divident system is kind of problematic in bitcoin reality. We don't give it a name, we are still busy and on the lookout for right solution. We look at Mastercoin. We look at Counterparty. We don't use banks, we use only local miners or exchanges, who supply machines with BTC or cash.

We currently run the IT network for the ATMs at our customer locations. We service the units or provide maintenance servcies in case of problems. (like cleaning bill acceptor, cash removal, restarts, troubleshooting, etc.) We also run their backend software if required by the ATM. Business model depends on the location and ownership model. Some ATM units are private owned, others are own by collective of people and others are factory owned. In all cases we keep their units operational. (within reason, sometimes problems caused by situations beyond control like blockchain.info down). We serve as a local point of contact for support. We promote the locations on Coinmap and in the Bitcoin Media. We help promote the ATM brand by answering questions about the ATMs at meetups and conferences.

We help build awareness for the ATM brands we operate: BTC-O-Matic, General Bytes, BitAccess, BitXatm, Lamassu. We help field test their units. Depending on the stability of the units, the amount of time between service calls. We can place these units all over the Netherlands. Should they be maintenance prone, we will only be able to use them in the Amsterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht areas. We hope they will be stable enough for national deployment.

The BATM units from General Bytes are refille by miners we know here in the area. They fill our machines with Bitcoin, we collect the cash and sell at Bitstamp + transaction fee. Cash from the machine we pay to the owner of the Bitcoins sold . The commission is MrBitcoin's for operating the machine and the server backend. These machines are private owned or crowdfunded and own by the collective.

The BitAccess machines are 2-way and come with a cash recycler, reducing 'cash-calls' for us. Need us to have a float at the exchange. We get these machines placed for free and split commission with the factory. Should bank fees (cash deposits, transfers to / from Bitstamp, Kraken, etc.) go up, these fees have to renegotiate.

Current AML / KYC regulations are not implemented in the BTC-O-Matic units now. BATM units we configured have text message or fingerprint for transactions above 2000 EUR. and a photoID plus fingerprint for transactions above 15.000 EUR. These transactions must be report. We can also option for another form of verification, in general we stick to our limit and we should be safe since these units are one way only. The Lamassu 2-way unit will have a bit of an issue in this field as it is a 2-way and no AML / KYC features have been install as of today. Should the machines have no KYC / AML features, we can always limit them to the 2000 EUR / transaction. We found that if people need to register, they walk away from the machine. We don't want to put up any more barriers to buy bitcoin than needed by law.

- "Can I pay with BTC, please."

We just placed the first ever BitXatm at cafe Restaurant Polder in Science Park (Amsterdam). The unit is a two way Bitcoin ATM so you can get either Bitcoins out of the machine or sell your coins and get cash out. No difficult verification process, get your cash or coins in 40 seconds! Give it a try, let us know what you think of this brand new model Bitcoin ATM.

Wow, I've never seen this ATM model before.

I think it has the best design of all models I've seen. Simple and clean.
To me it doesn't matter that it's a one-way only machine: In future nobody will use fiat anymore, so it doesn't matter.

Today it's important day. If BTC Bitcoin is money is Litecoin money as well? MrBitcoin is proud to announce:

World First. We start to sell Litecoin in all our ATM's from General Bytes.

You can buy it since today in Amsterdam and Arnhem.

World First. ...

Well, not first in the world, as litecoins and dogecoins are bought and sold in Genesis1 machines for quite a while, but still a very nice achievement, congrats!

Hi, what happened after september 14? Is there any news around? What if I want to host a BTC ATM? Is it possible to rent it or there is only a buying option?
