[ANN] TowetBTM.com - A new, robust Bitcoin ATM

[BitConcept]

Hi everyone,
We are happy to announce (here also), that a new Bitcoin ATM is slowly developing into shape: TowerBTM

Solution:
The bidirectional Bitcoin ATM will exchange regular money into cryptocurrency and vice versa. Also it will help people transact money from one country to the other, within the legal limits of each country.
The hardware is already purchased, it stands from the following components:
- Bill Acceptor
- Bill dispenser: Semi bunch bill dispenser (20 notes at once)
- Central Computers: Embedded board running linux, dual core, 1GB ram
- Display / Touchscreen devices: 10" IPS screen with capacitive touch glass
- Scanner: Industrial scanner for optimal barcode / qr code recognition, even in total darkness (has own lighting and ID card recognition)
- Casing: Cold rolled, powder coated steel casing with front door and 10 mounting points to the ground and to the wall via the bottom and the back side of the casing
- Other accessories, like cabling, power source, plexiglass windows and many other small components for the casing that aren't worth mentioning here

All of this hardware is being run by the almighty Lamassu Open Source software (for the moment). In the future, we intend to modify it to be compatible with Ethereum and have many additional features.

Pricing:
The ATM is at an accessible price, specially at the beginning, where the atm in valuated 4950 euros per piece, VAT included. Additional costs may rise from third-party services, like cash management or service and maintenance fees, but these are all purchased at the customer's discretion. The final sales price, however will be maintained at an accessible level, though, even in the future.


Who we are:
Miklos Istvan - Founder and CEO: Relevant experience in large ERP systems, managing data and analysis of data quality. Building hardware projects as a hobby, building solutions for Bitcoin companies.
Gabi Petrut - 3D CAD Designer
Sergiu Vlad - Software Developer


Where we want to be in the future:
We'd like to perfect our machine and include several additional functions that help more adjacent industries as well. Examples can include exchange of Ethereum, POS functions and printing paper Bitcoin and/or Ethereum wallets.


Competitors:
There are several competitors, but we do not consider them as a problem or challenge, we all contribute globally to the acceptance of Bitcoin and with our ideas and technologies, we are constantly pushing the technologies and solutions that will build our future.

Orders:
Orders can be placed via sales@towerbtm.com. After placing the order, we will generate you the invoice. After payment, the machine will be assembled and shipped within maximum 20 working days. Escrow is accepted also, but we need 25% of the total sum as down payment to order components.

Since this project was self-funded, donations are very welcome: 1Li3q9ZCBQbnxNWZ7T7wxTJh6ZVSAJUtu2. Thank you!

Wish you the best of luck with the project. I can see why Lamassu software has been chosen, as it's open source and pretty convenient.

Shipping is available to the entire world, or specific regions only for now?

[BitConcept]

4950 euros per piece this amount is quite big, also I cannot see any physical contact in your thread, all the same those ATM machine pictures are beautiful.

OK, details received I shall do some research on your company and let you know despite that I once had a very bad experience with Romania.
More importantly if you are real I will raise investors for the purchase of the ATM.

[BitConcept]

Ok, sure. Sorry for your past experience. Let me know if you need any other details.

How tall the ATM is? looks too tall for asian people
anyway, the system for order this ATM is pre-order or you have already stock? how much ATM stock you have?

[BitConcept]

The atm is 1.56m tall, 5.11ft tall.
If needed, we can seamlessly make an asian version too. Modifying the total height of the machine is a 2 minute effort for the production guys. The point is that you don't want to bend yourself to get the cash, when released. It puts you in an unconfortable and unsecure position (whrn people are standing behind you).

The bill dispenser should be at a minimum height of 1.1m and the screen should be looking straight at you. This is how the height of the machine was achieved.

[BitConcept]

For the moment, we are building to order. We have no stock yet but we will in order to ensure a short lead time.

This is indeed a welcoming idea, how fast can you ship the ATM once payment is made?

[BitConcept]

We ship with AWB and Tracking number within one month, once the payment is made.

Finally, the cutting process for the casing has started. More pictures incoming with the raw casing.
