It gets btc from a blockchain.info wallet. These things are very temperamental and require a high level of technical knowledge to operate when they act funny. The company that makes them, BTCPDX is ABSOLUTELY ZERO help on support. They're not even shipping last I heard on the skyhook reddit. The only support you will get is from other users on the reddit page.
http://www.reddit.com/r/projectskyhookIm not trying to shit on your sale here... just letting people know these are not easy to deal with. They violate kyc/aml laws so they are basically useless. If you are not very technical person this may not be the right atm for you even if you don't care about kyc/aml. My experience with mine was basically a total waste of money except for the fact that I take it to meetups and it make for a nice addition.
This is incorrect. I've discussed the matter with FINCEN and as long as it's your coins and there's no third person involved, it does not violate the kyc/aml laws. Also, in Missouri, you don't even have to register with Department of Finance or Revenue (sales tax). I've got 2 right now and once up and running they work great.
