I have read the articles about the new Coinstar ATMs that are gonna spread in US grocery stores but I guess I didn't get that part : https://www.ccn.com/how-coinstar-could-turn-62-million-dollars-worth-of-literal-trash-into-bitcoin/But people might be a lot more careful with their pocket change if there was some way it could be more valuable. Soon one way to make it more valuable will be to toss it into a Coinstar machine and convert it from the dust of a depreciating public currency into bitcoin, an appreciating, private, free market currency with a definite and fixed supply. So if I got this right, we'll be able to change cents into BTC dust ? No, you misunderstood. The phrase "from the dust of a depreciating public currency" is referring to the pocket change. Pocket change is the "dust" of a depreciating public currency i.e. US dollars. We will convert that dust into Bitcoin ( an appreciating, private, free market currency with a definite and fixed supply)! It's probably not a good idea to convert your pocket change into Bitcoin dust since the transfer fees would be more than the amount however if you have something like this - brb Edit: apologies. This is actually my daughter's bag of change (wrangled from her mother and I originally) so I had to answer 20 questions before I was allowed to borrow it! There is probably over $50 in this bag. As the denominations get smaller it becomes more of a pain to roll them and exchange them for bills. The Coinstar machine is great for that though the fee is upwards of 10%. Can't wait for the Bitcoin though! I have TUBS of pennies to exchange

Right now, the only option here is to get a receipt for the money owed and take it to a cashier at the same establishment but the two are separate companies so they have to pay to have the machine there and for the exchange as well. There are machines in the USA that allow you to transfer the balance of your coins onto a gift card of your choosing without added fees. Maybe it will be something similar for Bitcoin?

https://www.coindesk.com/coinstar-partnership-aims-at-expanding-bitcoin-purchases-in-grocery-stores-Though Coinstar kiosks are primarily known for converting coins into cash, Amazon gift cards or other equivalent balances, Thursday’s press release noted that at present, “coins cannot be used for bitcoin transactions.”
The kiosks will only accept U.S. dollar-Booo that's lame. Me and a buddy thought this would be a great idea a few years ago when I first got into BTC. Seems like they're missing out not allowing change to coin transactions.

Looks like you have to turn coins into paper with the machine, then return from the counter with your paper and feed it in. Why? More fees just maybe?

Yeah I get that, but are coins not usually counted as cash? To my understanding, admittedly limited european understanding, there are coins and bills both of which fall under cash? Is something else going on here?

Just poor people are the easiest to take money from.
Their jar of coins will buy a pack of fags they don't care the 10% or that they could go do it free at the bank.

The Coinstar machine is great for that though the fee is upwards of 10%. Can't wait for the Bitcoin though! I have TUBS of pennies to exchange be sure to pull out the older, solid copper, ones pre '82 in the US, it's a little more complicated in Canada but similar era http://www.coinflation.com/canada/

MisogynistR0ach, afraid to talk to women directly? I would not say afraid. Talking to women is sort of like talking to dogs and cats. At first it feels very natural, but then after a few minutes you start to think, "wait a minute, this seems like kind of a giant waste of time, isn't it?". Women are sort of biological robots and they don't really even care what you're saying. Their main goal is Freudian in nature and they're generally trying to solely discern if the male they're speaking to is smarter than them or not, because the woman views the man as a resource, and they're appraising the value of your intelligence in terms of benefitting their life somehow. In other words, when a man walks by a microwave, he will think to himself, how does this thing work? Because men have evolved as problem solvers due to being the hunter/provider type people. When a woman walks by a microwave, she will either not care about how it works, or think only in terms of "how can this item benefit me in some way, or benefit me in creating some children and preventing them from dying". And isn't misogynist a compliment? Since women practice hypergamy and want every male to die or cease to exist that isn't stronger, smarter, taller, richer, and higher social status than they are - because the ones who aren't they just consider a nuisance or some type of potential rapist - a man who is not misogynist would basically be admitting you have none of these attributes women want and you would have no reason to exist in the eyes of women or in terms of natural selection and passing on your genes. I don't personally care about the whole passing on of genes thing personally, because any intelligent person has already confronted the idea of nihilism, that nothing you do actually matters because the sun is going to turn into a red giant and kill everything anyway, and the speed of light and heat death of the universe, blah blah, would make trying to escape mostly pointless. It's like you're living in a movie that you already saw the ending to. Most guys that aren't dumbasses are at least aware of these facts and have to construct some type of post-nihilism philosophy for getting up in the morning, while most female brains are evolved a few million years in the past, entirely Freudian in nature, and only concerned about creating children and acquiring resources for them (by enslaving a man).
