They should make an entire video game arcade exclusively accepting bitcoins. The thing is will you be forced to wait for the confirm ? Also with these high fees will it be worth it ? Playing a game costs s few cents so how would that work ?

The whole arcade old school style accepting bitcoins will be great. and i am pretty sure Adam will think about this. about the other thing you said, i think its the issue for every transactions now a days but it will be better in coming time with the segwit maybe. and on the other hand.. if the stakes are higher so will the prize, that thing can be balanced as such.

Yep - a bitcoin/crypto arcade is one of my long-term goals! Confirmations is the issue - Zero was set at CoinFestUK - We had alot of feedback from the event about the machine, with many suggesting offering another crypto all-in-all to combat the confirmation issue. .....Thanks aizzaku

I was thinking it doesn't matter of the transactions take long because you will be at the arcade for several hours they will go through by the time you leave of ever there is an issue the owner simply bans that wallet.

Indeed, several hours hopefully. Confirmation takes any more (a few days!) they get locked in lol

Not posted here in awhile but I’m still working on this machine. Adding multiple currencies to the system (As I can’t have someone waiting for 30 minutes to play when they pay with BTC!).
Zero confirms on BTC payment while I host it at CoinFestUK is fine as a “Proof of concept” showing the machine working but expanding to multiple currencies is the best way forward.
We were partnered with The Bitcoin Store but this has since ceased as we haven’t heard anything back off them regarding more stock, I have followed some of the things that have changed with the store but the guy I speak to hasn’t got back in touch. This will make us form a new partnership with another company for our apparel and get the grabber graphics redesigned but hey that’s how things go.
Due to the above about the stock the machine wasn’t present at the two events I just co-organised as I had little stock for the machine and not enough time to arrange it myself. Either way the machine will be back at CoinFestUK2018 😎

I also want to get my danceOmatic to CoinFestUK2018! I cannot PM you anymore since there has been added this new option about NOT ACCEPTING PM's FROM NEWBIES. Can you switch that off so we can continue our dialogue? -(and PM me when you have done so. Thanks!) Also witch currency would be the best to perform this fast micro transactions atm. Digibyte? Best regards!

This machine accepting bitcoin payment is used for what utility? Or does it function as a blockchain extender platform or it is designed specifically for payment of certain service? Is this machine also scalable for any expansion of some sort?

It is to show people how digital currencies can blend into the real-world via physical interaction.

Word up! So important, and the same reason why I want to implement it.

This is a very interesting idea! So many people love arcades as well so you'd be Bitcoin balling in no time. I think you should aim to make the arcades more secure than the current ones so then people aren't able to scam the system or attempt to steal Bitcoins from the machine.

Posting some updates here of the project, a lot has happened over the past year! CryptoGrabber now takes MonetaryUnit (MUE), DigiByte (DGB) and Litecoin (LTC) and we have formed new merchandise partnerships for crypto socks, tshirts, hats and accessories wristbands, paperwallets aswell as collectable coins and badges. I have recently been making some short (Not very professional) videos and posting them via the CryptoGrabber Twitter: https://twitter.com/BitcoinGrabberWe have been testing the speed of the various altcoins, here is the short MUE video: MUE Payment testing: https://twitter.com/BitcoinGrabber/status/1085525115218153472Here is a video of me finally grabbing and winning some Kryptoez Socks! : https://twitter.com/BitcoinGrabber/status/1086685945880039425The machine will feature at CoinFestUK 2019, we will have a pro video team on hand so some professional videos will be put together.
