This would be very useful, but given the current situation in Ukraine I won't go on holiday there :) Title: Re: [2014-07-09] 5,000 Terminals Across Ukraine Now Offer Bitcoin for Cash Post by: Ron~Popeil on July 09, 2014, 07:12:33 PM http://www.coindesk.com/5000-terminals-across-ukraine-now-offer-bitcoin-cash/ A nationwide network of more than 4,900 payment terminals in the Ukraine now allows customers to easily buy bitcoin for cash.

A sudden change over there could be big for bit coin and big for them as well since they have a safe way to store their wealth if things get uglier.

So there was already the ability to transfer money for various other reasons, which made it easier to add this as a new application. You aren't actually buying Bitcoins from the ATMs, and they don't need to know anything about Bitcoin, you are buying a voucher that you can then use on a website to buy Bitcoins.

Surprised here also: "The machines, known as BNK-24 terminals, also allow users to pay utility bills and purchase mobile phone credit, among other functions...." That part I was expecting, the machines are not only for BTC, they have several other functions. Great news. :) Title: Re: [2014-07-09] 5,000 Terminals Across Ukraine Now Offer Bitcoin for Cash Post by: ThomasCrowne on July 11, 2014, 05:12:05 PM I wonder what the median % +/- is being charged across these 4,900 ATM's? Would be nice to see somebody put out a comprehensive site that not only listed bitcoin ATM locations but also published their current charges/transaction fee's as well.

A global map tracking every active machine, including fee data, would be great! It would also encourage competition and possibly lower some fees.
