Hey guys!
I just want to say thanks for the awesome support with CoinFestUK!
Bluelab and Varvarin are a very strong and dedicated team! I have worked with Varvarin since before CoinFestUK 2016 and never such a dedicated (and honest) person! I hope I can work with both you guys for the foreseeable future!

Exciting.
You could add some more "exciting" things as well to the inventory.
Things like pay-pass protected wallets, HW wallets, physical coins...etc.
Personally, I would not give up my lovely BTCs for a baseball cap hehe
Thanks, that's what I am thinking. I have worked with BitStashers.com before and I am thinking of some custom engraved wallets (Password protected by Helio Pay) aswell as some other funky engraved stuff they do with BTC addresses on them like the wallet sets with bottle openers etc. I have actually got a few unique bitcoin related goods to test to see if the machine can pick them up as is or if I need something to hold them. Also I've had a few people suggest the machine accepting other cryptocurrencies aswell as Bitcoin, what do you guys reckon? |

It's really nice to see people actually spending time for such things, but it'd be better if we could promote Bitcoin further in non Bitcoin related public places, maybe something similar but then if people playing and win they could get bitcoins instead.
I'd suggest someone planning a program to ask top 5 mining companies-pools to donate 0.5% of the bitcoins in each block they mine to do things like this and further spread awareness, we're here aren't we? well others need to first know and hear about Bitcoin and I'm sure they'll love it just like we do.
I am actually reaching out to working spaces that are tech related about having this machine in their common areas, the aim - to raise awareness of Bitcoin from a tech perspective. Great idea and the product looks sleek!! Keep up the good work spreading Bitcoin to the masses..  Thanks! Hopefully I'll have some higher resolution photos of it soon! Then I'll find a good spot to film it and get them uploaded. |

We had some great feedback on this project and thank everyone for their support! I am re-jigging slightly how the front screen works following feedback from CoinFestUK but I am looking forward to seeing the grabber machine at some future bitcoin/fintech events.

We have had a spike in EMC2 claims following the recent price rise! EMC2 is a strong project!
We are working on implementing some back-end updates and will post updates once finished. Everything front-end will work fine in the mean time

Hey,
Do you guys have a Windows daemon I could use for testing?
per default we compile no headless daemon for windows because all services we know run on linux and compile their headless wallets themself DMD v3 will be a new codebase testing now DMD v2 will not have any value for utilize DMD v3 for DMD v3 we will provide mode different precompiled wallet types to reach a broader audience Yep understood, I know Linux but wanted to do a quick test on Windows. |

 Firsthand Experience. I played on it several times when i visited CoinFestUK (and also let the TheBitcoinRat play on behalf as you can see from the first link), and i must say it is awesome and fun. Well its the same retro grabber, still when you integrate something with bitcoin is suddenly becomes exciting, atleast for me. I would recommend any event organizers to rent this machine, trust me it will be worth it. BONUS: Every few minutes it plays a song which just pulls your attention. It looks really nice on the photos, and the possible prize you can get is really awesome too, but something in this machine is worrying me. Is the only thing we can win in there, are t-shirts and other clothing with bitcoin? Because if yes, then they should make the offer wider than only clothing, putting some paper addresses would be a nice idea  Obviously, im talking about small stakes of bitcoin, nothing big- who would expect to get a big prize from bitcoin claw machine? Im believing that this machine isn't cheating as most of the claw machines I have seen and played  Thanks. Yes at the moment it's got tshirts, beanie hats, caps and socks but I'm talking to some engrave specialists (like John at http://bitcoin-engrave.com) <--- awesome guy, I met him at CoinFest! about some custom QRs/wallets but I'm working on the best way for the claw to grab the wallets (I may need to put them into something a little bigger) I've got some other ideas aswell for goods in the machine and will post about them when I've worked a little more out on the idea. It is cheating at all as all the socks, some shirts and caps and beanie hats wouldn't have been won! I would have liked a pair of them socks myself lol. |

Wow that is impressive indeed!
How come this is your side project when you can actually dedicate yourself and make some good money from it ? Japan does have automated vending machines which sell fancy stuff for bitcoins but don't they will be your competition in the United Kingdom!
Maybe a take video to demonstrate how it works ?
Just curious : How long does one has to wait for the bot to start working after sending bitcoins ? It needs some confirmations right ? If not,how can it stand against double spend attacks ?
Thanks. It was a side project while I was dedicated to planning CoinFestUK, I've had a lot of interest with the machine and just bought a small change machine to convert that aswell. Yes thanks, I have a friend who is a pro-video guy once I clean the machine up a little I'll be getting some videos done. When I was showing it at CoinFestUK I placed it at 0 confirmations as I got an alert everytime someone paid, so I would start a conversation with them about the machine and project. There are a few things I need to iron out (and I'll be adding a GPS aswell) to ensure the machine runs fine on its own and no-one try's to dupe it |

Hey everyone, Just thought I would write-up one of my side projects I received a very positive response about it at CoinFestUK. I purchased and converted (With financial help from Scott at BittyBot) an arcade claw machine to accept Bitcoin payments and I am working with The Bitcoin Store to stock (and keep stocked!) the machine with Bitcoin merchandise (T-shirts, hats, caps and socks). The machine had an awesome response at CoinFestUK with many attendees playing (and winning) the machine. I have attached some photos to give you an idea of what the machine looks like but we have some professional photos on the way so they'll be posted when they arrive. I did have the RaspberryPi installed into the box you can see on the front of the machine but accidentally installed the screen the wrong way and fried the Pi. I had the machine graphics re-done (From the original claw graphics) by the awesome Lee Holland! ( https://twitter.com/LeeDRHolland) they fit well and everyone liked them. I have created a twitter account @bitcoingrabber to post updates on the machine as we have had interest on hosting the machine at other events. I will soon be working on posting on Reddit and getting a website set up. Adam - CryptoBatesGroup |

There are many coins out here but none of them are the big altcoins. I mean you can add eth, ltc, dash, ripple, monero and so forth and gain a lot more exposure if you ask me. Not in a marketing way but core development way.
That is the only thing keeping this website, with those additions I think this might take off to new heights.
Hey, Thanks for your message. We do aim to put some bigger altcoins on the site but right now we are inroing out all the issues and building the automation off live data, once this is all done and a month into testing we will reach out to the bigger projects. |

Cool. Is there any kind of info flyer to go along with it that explains MINT?
Yup. An insert is included with general information. I posted a link while writing that info in the community Slack asking for input. Maybe a CoinFestUK attendee will post a pic?  Hey, We will have some photos soon from the event and I'll post them of the awesome MINT cards! Thanks again |

Yes more photos. I have never been into an event, I may not even have the chance to join since I live in a remote place. If one day this coinfest will be organized in my country, I will surely be going. I wonder if there is a huge fee just to get in Is there? CoinFest is always free to attend By the way, guys, we still have one more event: the Crypto Show. All CoinFest organizers were invited to come on and talk about how things went in their city. It starts in about 10 minutes: http://thecryptoshow.com/listenliveSorry I couldn't make the Crypto Show! Sleeping! |

For those who want to watch from home, the Blocktalk Hangout will be April 7, 5-9 PM GMT and available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar51TiDa6E8&feature=youtu.beThe New Africa Radio hangout will be April 8, 2-3 AM... watch Twitter for the view link. - I need to rest! but will update everyone asap - we have photos, footage and tons of ideas from CoinFestUK2017 we will be sharing! |
