London, I discovered today, has at least one BTM that does not require ID (in quantities less than 500 British Pounds).
10% premium over "spot".
Located at the Old Street Underground station ("Tube").
What about the other machines (In Vancouver and Copenhagen)? Do they have limits? Plus if ID is not required, you can always break transactions to avoid the GBP 500 cap. I presume you can only buy bitcoins and not sell bitcoins at this machine? I don't know! I did not have all that much cash on me in either place. The one in London ASKED me if the amount was above 500 GBP or less than 500. I presume the machine would ask for more info for a BIG transaction. The one in Vancouver was well over a year ago (maybe two?), I would have to check. But, my *guess* would be that U Sam influences financial laws in Canada, so... The one in Vancouver is at a coffee shop pretty close to the heart of the city. |

OROBTC, The Globe trotter traveling around the world to use Bitcoin ATM machines  Just joking. There are only 2 machines in my country and very very far from me. I would need to drive maybe 6 hours up to them. In your post, there is something confusing to me. Are there any ATM machines that require ID ? In the USA almost all (or maybe even ALL now) do require ID. Now that I have registered with two in the USA, my cell number is good enough, but they still have the info that I bought. |

I have used only three such machines over the past few years (one each in NYC, Vancouver, and just today in Copenhagen).
The one in NYC likely now does not work that way anymore (US laws, and it was a few years ago when I used it).
Vancouver's machine supposedly was the first BTC ATM to go online. I used it about a year ago.
And Copenhagen's does not require ID either. Located in the "The Dubliner" (an Irish pub) in the pedestrian zone of downtown Copenhagen. Very easy to use, took just seconds, most of that time was loading Danish Kroner into it...

Please list any machines (location and approx. date) that you have USED recently which require no ID (no phone number etc.). I think many people would be interested.

I sold a small position (by buying gold) right before August 1 because I was not sure how all of this would turn out.
On the other hand, I just bought a small amount *today* at "The Dubliner" (an Irish pub) at Amagertorv 7 located in the pedestrian zone of downtown Copenhagen.
Hmm, at $4000, it's now hard to buy much BTC.

Even though BTC was priced a few hours ago over $4000, I bought a tiny bit at a BTC ATM ("BTM") located here in Copenhagen (we're vacationing here)
No ID needed, and very easy to use: three steps, only took seconds (and most of that putting in Danish Kroner).
Found at The Dubliner (an Irish pub) at Amagertorv 7 (in the heart of downtown, in the pedestrian zone).

At $4000, it is now harder to accumulate significant amounts of BTC. I wonder what it will/would be like at $10,000 or more...?

…you would need to use a dynamic, scaling block size like Monero to fix that.
Someone disagrees. Tell you guys what, while I am as happy as anyone re BTC price spike, I would really also like to have EASY exposure (for Dummies) to a good Alt. But, if any Alt is too hard for the "average Joe" to use, I ain't buying it... So BTC it is for me. $3260 last I checked. Get us to $3700, well, I'll just buy a wee-bit more Au with it, that has worked out good for me so far. |

I'm in Russia now (St Pete via cruise ship with lousy wifi).
Things here are at least a tad better than described by our Fake News Media, but a one day visit means little (other than my stint as a desk-jockey Cold War participant decades ago when they were the USSR).
Putin is not a lovable guy, but he has huge support here, and America would be wise to make deals, good deals, with him. The sanctions and Russia-bashing are stupid beyond words. We can do business with this man.
BTW, St Pete is the only cruise port I have EVER visited where you had to go through a passport control, even on a shore excursion. But, beyond question Russia <> USSR.
EDIT: Putin is reputed to be the richest man in the world (more than Gates and Buffett combined). He is a parasite too, few clean hands among people who claw their way to the top of any big organization.
Nice to hear you're putting the Bitcoin rise to good use! Was in St. Pete a long time ago -- never thought you could take a cruise ship ('Aurora'?) there... It's not surprising... From Putin, to Maduro (Venezuela), to Saddam, to all the European leaders, the system ensures each country is governed even worse than the US in terms of political and economic freedoms. So voila, the USA is the best country! It's money and debt are the most respected! The logic is quite simple -- either a country toes the imperial line, or not. Regardless of what kind of leader or system it has, a country that toes the imperial line will end up with more financial inflation and/or political corruption than the US. A country that doesn't toe the line will be attacked to one degree or another by the media, put under pressure by the dominant dollar system, and eventually, its regime will surrender and/or collapse. When the standoff is sharp and prolonged, even if we have to get a war started (e.g. Syria), we have to send the message. But I'm sure we view the civilian collateral damage with deep regret. Royal Caribbean, Princess, Viking and Celebrity all call at St P. Not in winter though. Russia will have few problems with any sanctions. They are almost self-contained. To a degree they are a "one trick pony" (oil and gas price exports), but they have a great military-industrial complex too. If you like art, the Hermitage is really something, one of the best museums in the world. |

The finch chirps while nodding that selling both at their peaks to obtain TRB and/or bits-of-net. Whose not envious of OROBTC’s wanderlust in places we’ve never flown—and before TSHTF. We have always liked traveling, and since we are technically "homeless", I am completing a promise I made to my wife decades ago: a LONG trip to Europe. We left St. Pete half an hour ago, next is Helsinki. Only got rid of PART of my BTC though. If BTC continues to go up sharply, I'll buy more Au. And wait for songbird to let me know when it it reached its goal, completes its work. |

Yow!! I'm in St Pete, Russia (on a cruise), I'll pull some more Euros out of an ATM ASAP (Finland is next up). Good thing I have some BTC with me, as well as a wee-bit of gold. If Europe freezes their citizens' bank accounts it would be just a matter of DAYS before the USA would pull something similar IMO... |

On July 30, I turned in some BTC for Au, concerned a bit that the BTC community might screw up with the Aug 1 fork.
Provident Metals had stopped taking Bitcoin as payment! That was a shock, so I had to open an account with jmbullion.com who still did. I have not checked back with Provident to see if they have changed their minds, but for whatever reason they stopped taking BTC, thus lowering somewhat BTC fungibility....
These stupid forks are aggravating to me (and I am sure to millions of others). The BTC community needs to shape up, else some will leave...
I'm still in BTC, only selling off some 15% of my stash. But, even with the apparent success of SegWit(2x?), BTC is in danger of bringing itself down, without .gov having to lift a finger.

Both. Bought a little Au (jmbullion.com), HEDL the rest (85% or so). Also moved most of the rest to hardware from blockchain.info.
Bring it.

...  I had two issues I wanted to resolve at La Maison du Bitcoin (in Paris). They are co-located with Ledger (hardware wallet maker) and offer Bitcoin for sale (as well as they buy BTC). The first was a problem I had with my Ledger Nano, they fixed that right up. And I bought a little BTC as a "souvenir" of Paris. Highly recommended visit if you are ever in Paris, good people there. 35 rue de Caire, 75002 Paris, France. My souvenir photo: https://goo.gl/f8soen |

My visit with La Maison du Bitcoin was a complete success. They solved a real problem for me that I had with a Ledger device, and I was able to buy Bitcoin there.
Passport and the money is all you need to buy BTC. They will also buy your BTC for cash.
"Missions accomplished, and highly recommended."
Interesting that they will NOT accept cash starting in 2010. Hmm, cashless society coming soon to a country near you.

I can imagine it was a hard decision. I really liked your service, and believed that Bimixer.io enhanced privacy, which is important in an age where hackers and others are scratching for every dime they can. Many of your customers will be disappointed, but if you feel that is the right thing to do, then you must do it!
Best Wishes from a happy customer and Signature Campaign participant.

South korea is one of the big country in the world, south korea have strong economy. It would be very beneficial if south korea legalizes bitcoin, bitcoin will be more trustworthy and many people will use bitcoin, that is good news. After several countries that legalize bitcoin like japan and russia and followed south korea which really is a superpower country, then i am sure bitcoin have good future
Although I don't like the south Korean country, his economic strength has always been very good, and I remember that when bitcoin was $1200, the Korean bitcoin was dominated by the bitcoin for $1,500 South Korea is a very impressive and modern country. I visited there in 2012 to see our bearings suppliers. Their factories are right out of Star Trek, modern, clean, robots, etc. I had never been to such advanced factories before (although I'm, sure that semiconductor plants are even more advanced). Samsung Electronics is their biggest company, and is extremely advanced. Seoul, a city of 25,000,000 people (incs. the suburbs) has FREE WiFi all over the whole city, indoors and out. Japan is worried that a united Korea could do to them what they did to us (take industries away). |

... Has anyone ever visited them? They appear to share the same address (or at least in part) as LEDGER, the hardware wallet maker. They will also sell (and maybe buy) Bitcoin. I am not sure if I will buy or sell (probably buy some just to check out the service). Any comments would be greatly appreciated. https://lamaisondubitcoin.fr/ |

Yes, I am looking as well for an alternative taint analysis tool other than blockchain.info... It has been months that blockchain.info has switched off this free service. As there is absolutely no information released why, my guess is that law enforcement agencies pressed blockchani.info into switching it off... so people can't do a taint analysis anymore.... I want to check the past of bitcoins I was sold.There is nothing wrong with that... just to be on the safe side... Any guesses  I am still interested myself. I was very happy with that service, it showed that both blockchain.info's mixing service AND bitmixer.io's both seemed to obscure sending & receiving wallets rather well. I heard a year or two ago that blockchain's mixing service was not secure (I believe that someone found a way to connect sending & receiving wallets or something), but that is not clear to me. YES! Anyone who knows of a good taint analysis tool please let us know. |
