Um.... I'm pretty sure it's May, and May's the fifth month of the year. Did I miss something?

Americans write the day and month the wrong way round

[Frozenlock]

I'm pretty sure it's a huge conspiracy from the USA.

"Look how we'll confuse everyone...
First step: Use bastard units with ugly relations to one another.
Second step:  Instead of writing the date in ascending or descending importance, we'll just insert the days in the middle.
Third step: We'll call a thousand million a billion, and a billion a trillion, so given enough time we'll be off several levels of magnitude from the rest of the world

Fuck you world, sincerely, USA."




Edit: added step 3.

Ok here is the ~ 152 MB flv video:
http://www.wikitransfer.ch/2Yv/BitcoinAtm_demo_by_Justin_Oh.flv

Some screenshots to see the quality:





It downloads in free mode at about ~ 500 kB/s (does anyone offer faster free speed?)

If I get my hands on the larger video (~ 2GB) I will try to re-encode it to make it smaller - if it does make any sense and upload it as well.

P.S. I assume this is promo video so sharing it won't make anyone angry.

<chuckle> ya...um...you guys go ahead and feed money into that thing first.  I'll stand by and enjoy the show.

Sounds like a great ATM.   You put your information in and then stand there for two hours until it gets six confirmations and gives you your money.

Yeah... you didn't watch the video.

i have already gave back a bit of feedback to bitcoin ATM as a possible extra layer/service to make the system even more stream lined. ill update this post if i get a reply.

EG
they only require 1 confirm for cashing out - but imagine a busy shopping day where there is a queue. you use the machine once to put your coins in. then linger around the machine/form a second queue for when the confirmation occurs to the redeem your cash.

my idea - to have an app/website portal to pre-deposit the coins while in the carpark/ home/work. and then receive the redemption code before you even reach the ATM. so all you have to do is use it once, to type in the redemption code and get your fiat.

Sorry to sound like a dick. Formatting difference totally slipped my mind. I do that when I see "commas used as decimals points," too, heh.
