Pta also on the cards, we are planning to get solid (Bitcoin accepting merchants/stores) infrastructure in place wherever we go.

Thanks, I will check with regards to the marketing with them. I have not received anything yet.

I assume you bought an ATM/AVM from them as well?

What is the preferred term - ATM or AVM? I use ATM at the moment as it is something people are familiar with, although I prefer the term AVM for obvious reasons.

Above all I love what this is doing for decentralisation for bitcoin - the exchanges have been a big problem, a major hurdle due to distrust and also due to crackdown from governments.

What commission are you charging, if you have an AVM?

hi all,

Our company ordered a Lamassu Inc Bitcoin ATM/vending machine around mid Feb this year. We have received news that the item will ship in the next 2-3 days, and arrive shortly thereafter.

The ATM/vending machine will be located in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is generally considered the financial capital of South Africa. We are in discussions with several restaurants/coffee shops and will be coming to a conclusion as to the final location once we have shown the interested parties the device.

Our twitter feed is @ZaBitcoinATM, and we would greatly appreciate a following there - come and celebrate this ostentatious event with us!

Our next installation will be in Cape Town, South Africa, in about a month from now.

As the first Bitcoin vending machine in Africa (seemingly the last continent requiring this?) we are excited beyond words!

I would GREATLY appreciate any advice on how to ensure this gets properly spread on the media. I have contacted all tech magazines in South Africa so far, and I have the twitter feed, but we are open to any and all suggestions to spread this news far and wide.

Go Bitcoin!!!
