The ATM demo/press conference was supposed to have happened at 1pm today.
I wish there was a live feed or a link to it.
Here you go: http://new.livestream.com/accounts/3824848/events/2074798I can still access the presentation and demo after the fact. Feels like a momentous event in Bitcoin history.

Oh Loaded, who art up in Mt. Gox, hallowed be thy name! Thy dollars rain, thy will be done, on BTCUSD. Give us this day our daily 10% 30%, and forgive the bears, as we have bought their bitcoins. And lead us into quadruple digits

In my experience, downloading from Livestream is really faster if you use wget.

It looks promising, hope that it will attract much media attention and get some investors buying while the price is low so they can see a quick ROI.

Very interesting, although considering the special properties of bitcoin that make it very atm-unfriendly (having to wait for confirmations) I think maybe it would be appropriate to think 'outside the atm-box' for a solution. Waiting 10 minutes minimum around an ATM doesn't sound like it's going to exactly catch on.

The whole point of this machine is to put in dirty fiat money. And that is a hell of a business.

He did mention a custom app is coming. I guess one could send BTC to the address shown by the app anytime, and then you just go to the ATM and withdraw cash using some code that the app has for your transaction. Viola, no waiting required!

Ok here is the ~ 152 MB flv video: http://www.wikitransfer.ch/2Yv/BitcoinAtm_demo_by_Justin_Oh.flvSome screenshots to see the quality: It downloads in free mode at about ~ 500 kB/s (does anyone offer faster free speed?) If I get my hands on the larger video (~ 2GB) I will try to re-encode it to make it smaller - if it does make any sense and upload it as well. P.S. I assume this is promo video so sharing it won't make anyone angry.

That won't be necessary. The ATM machine knows immediately that it has cash. As long as the connection between the machine and the blockchain is secure, the user goes away knowing the transaction will go through, and the ATM owner needn't worry because he possesses the local currency. Any waiting period is irrelevant.

If not then you'd need to stand guard at the ATM until your transaction got confirmed. P.S. Can someone stick this video on youtube?

It's a vulnerability, sure, but that's up to the ATM companies to sell us on their security.
