Quote from: dkbit98 on August 24, 2021, 02:41:54 PM Quote from: BTCatmHelp on August 24, 2021, 07:50:06 AM Sadly (athough i have put in the LAN cable for internet) the machine keeps saying that it ''has no internet connection'' and that i have to enter a password. (''Sumo Pro cannot be operated withouth an internet connection'') It was probably using some server for communication and that server is now down along with their website and everything else. I checked wayback machine for their website and it looks like they are not operational for years. Code: http://web.archive.org/web/20200101000000*/bitxatm.com However it looks like they are still active on twitter and they have posted email contact there in 2021: https://twitter.com/bitxatm/status/1414054951693668354 One more interesting thing I found is that other Canadian company called PlutoBTM is making and selling almost identical looking devices and they are still alive and operational: https://youtu.be/FoCjqYRd6mU https://plutobtm.com/ Yeah, checked that aswell, didnt get any further with their cached website. Also i didnt recieve any response on email or DM's. and after reading this comment: Quote from: hmel on August 24, 2021, 03:22:21 PM Ah, the good ol'BitXatm. Brings back memories... I used to operate one. Sorry to rain on your parade, but you can't operate one without their server. They used a custodial wallet because their business model was to take a cut from every transaction. The company went out of business when, allegedly, one of their employees took off with the wallets of most of their machines. 100+ BTC I think it was. Mine included. Also, allegedly, the police caught the employee and there was a simulated compensation process, but nothing came out of it. Also, allegedly, said employee died in prison. Even if you could get them somehow to make it work, I wouldn't trust them with a single satoshi. Some links for the curious: https://web.archive.org/web/20180703213757/http://blog.bitxatm.com/ I am pretty sure it is not going to work anymore. I am going to wait it out a bit, maybe ill get some response from an over enthausiast Bitxatm employee who still has acces to the mailbox. Otherwise i will probably try to reinstall the computer wich is inside with normal windows, so i can make a nice informationpoint, or mediaplayer from it. The outside of the machine looks to cool to just get rid of it ;-) Anyway, thanks for the help all of you, really appreciate!

( see picute below ) -snip- Haha, this was my first thought, too. Why the hell is he telling us he bought some Bitcoins. Thousands and thousands people do that. Noting worth to mention. My next thought then was, or maybe he means an ATM machine? But no one can be that crazy! So what are your plans with this device? That is in my opinion the much more exciting question I dont have plans with it yet, want to get it up and running first. The machine crossed my path and i could snipe it for a fun price. For now its more like a hobby project Quote from: Kakmakr on August 24, 2021, 11:47:56 AM I think my first concern will be if you can re-configure the receiving Bitcoin address on the machine? Can you restore to the factory defaults to remove and re-configuration whatever was on the machine before? You do not want this machine to send all the coins received or funded by you, to go through a backdoor to some other recipient? (Also firmware) We know some people hijack hardware wallet deliveries and they open the boxes to copy the seed words... and then they close the box again and use that seed on another wallet to take whatever is send to that wallet by the recipient. The machine came new from the (wooden) nailed box. I could see it was never been opened. Also the protective plasitc and such was still on it, cardrigde were seperatly packed etc. I am pretty sure it is in factory settings now. It starts up perfectly, but then after a few seconds a window pops up wich won't close, asking for internet + password. Thats about how far i got (see screenshot) If get it to work (doubtfull still), i might put it outside.

Thanks for the reply's all. i emailed the manufacturer, lets hope someone still reads it Or maybe someone with some experience with this kind of machines comes by here ^^ The guy i bought the machine from didnt have any technical knowledge whatsoever, so that was a dead end. I didnt dive into the legal requirements yet, its more like a hobby project for now. Also i found this, not that usefull, but atleast i found someone with a machine. Gonna try my luck here too https://xpansa.com/blockchain/bitcoin-atm-owner-review/?mode=grid

Bitcoin / Project Development / So, i bought a BTC atm (machine)

on: August 24, 2021, 07:50:06 AM

Hi guys, As the topic already says, i bought a btc atm. I know im a bit late to the party maybe, but it was a bargain Anyway, the thing looks pretty cool. Its powers on and does show the ''buy and sell buttons'' on it touchscreen display. Sadly (athough i have put in the LAN cable for internet) the machine keeps saying that it ''has no internet connection'' and that i have to enter a password. (''Sumo Pro cannot be operated withouth an internet connection'') Then i went to Google, and searched myself a headache. The manufacture of the machine (Bitxatm) is (probably) out of business, since their website is no longer working. Aslo i can never find something like a setupmanual for it. Someone here who has experience with a machine like this? Can i still do anything with it? Or has it become useless now Bitxatm.com is gone? Thanks in advance!
