only problem is due to the bitlicence, regular bitcoiners have fled away from new york for other states and countries. goodluck with the fee's that will be needed to pay off the BTM owners licence..  |

I guess, it is very costly to place a ATM somewhere in a crowded place like New York City. So, such little stores fit best to offer Bitcoin ATMs without having a big budget.

only problem is due to the bitlicence, regular bitcoiners have fled away from new york for other states and countries. goodluck with the fee's that will be needed to pay off the BTM owners licence.. The company operating the ATM on Reddit: "To operate this business in the state of New York, we must comply with regulations. For transactions over $800 per day we must have an ID on file with a limit of $3,000 per day. The phone number is just proving that customers aren't exceeding the daily limits" |

Just imagine the amount of illegal money that is going to go through these kinds of machines, giving receipts out and suddenly you prove of where your money came from.. Money launderers dream  |

What do you mean with "they"? Deli stores? I have not seen many evidences that there are a bunch of those ATMs in NYC. They have a lot of those. Not impressed.

How much are the fees it charges, and how does it decide what exchange rate to use? If it's charging ridiculous fees like 20% it won't get many customers, but if it charges less than the other NY BTMs people will use it. Is it on this BTM map yet? http://coinatmradar.com/There are so many BTMs in New York that it's not easy to find if it's on that map. |

Great bits of kit these. even if they are not used they are still a great advertisement for the progress of bitcoin. i used my first bitcoin atm a month ago, purly out of interest and to support the owner. I find the price is usally abit higher which is to be expected i suppose.

Mmm, this is questionable, sure maybe I feel like this bitcoin machine was put in a lower-end Bodega which are plenty around this area just to acquire attention as someone who is familiar from the (East Coast) NY-NJ-Long-Island Area. Attention to bitcoin is one thing, but using bitcoin and conducting legitimate transactions are another. |

Another Bitcoin ATM, installed on an area densely populated with Bitcoin ATM's... No need I think, they'll just compete with each other and ROI way more slower. And they do have to comply with a lot of things... So they charge ridiculous fees. Not sure on the fees of this particular machine, tho.
Let's see if this has movement. I see it moving to another place sooner or later.

I just found this information today through another method of search when we were researching rules and regulations for a business venture we are working on at this time. I am not sure about this, but we are looking into this, but this lay may be something that does not agree with what the federal law states and because of this, if someone puts in the legwork, there is possibility that this may be overturned. I read the law in full alsong with the revisions and it really looks like this was put into place to deter the use of Bitcoin and other such cryptocurrencies. |

can you actually spend the BTC in the deli? or at any other physical store in NYC? it still isn't practical for the everyday person.

Great, another bitcoin ATM = more people using BTC i don't think so, if someone want really to buy bitcoin, they can simply use an exchange, i'm sure thta anyone using an atm can also use an exchange easily so this is not going to cut it in any way, adoption will not increase because of atm for sure |
