There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I found this article through BitcoinX the other day. I was wondering what the incentive for a retailer would be to BUY one of these instead of getting paid to let someone put it in their store. |

And here's a link to the Bitcoin ATM Website: http://<a-dubious-domain>.com/ Uhmm... you're joking, right? That is not THE Bitcoin ATM website, it's just A Bitcoin ATM website and it's completely unrelated to the product/project on those news-links. |

I'm sure the dubious website is not the website of the Bitcoin ATM at the liberty forum. The bitcoin ATM at the liberty forum was a prototype. So if someone tries to sell you an ATM it might be a scam. The prototype was made by Zach Harvey, as the other articles state. Josh and Matt were very important for technical support and it couldn't have been done with out Matt's programing, and Josh's work with the hardware.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I was in a hurry to post this and grabbed a link I was looking at in place of the correct one. ShireSilver gave the one I meant to put up. |

If they intend to sell the bitcoin ATMs to businesses that accept bitcoin; won't it make a bit of a mockery of bitcoins.
Shop Owner: We accept bitcoins
Customer: Oh really? Where do I get them?
Shop Owner: Over there at that machine
Customer: ...goes over, puts in cash, gets bitcoins on his phone, waits for confirmations, walks up cashier and transfers bitcoins, more waiting...
Shop Owner: ...then walks over and takes the cash out of ATM and send the bitcoins back to Lamassu...
*High five each other*..."Yay we used bitcoins"
Sounds like a monty python bit

I agree, for this purpose it doesn't seem to be very practical. I can imagine that this machine is great for money transfer companies though, who can either use it to wire money to other offices across the world, or can sell bitcoins in places where people would otherwise have trouble obtaining bitcoins. |

Shop Owner: We accept bitcoins. By the way, you can also send money to your family in Mexico by using BTC.
Customer: Oh really? Where do I get them?
Shop Owner: Over there at that machine

We're working hard on a production prototype and we're making good progress. As soon as I have something more concrete to show, I'll post here.
