Crowd Funding Bitcoin (Robocoin) ATMs

[UnaNos]

Has anyone considered crowd funding a bunch of those new Robocoin ATMs?

It's not something i'd like to setup myself (i'm busy enough), but surely it's viable?
If nothing else, those machines would make western union branches obsolete.
Bitcoin ATM shares anyone?

If I wasn't totally flat out with work i'd be seriously thinking about it. I'm actually supprised that nobody's doing it already, maybe someone's thought it through and hit a snag?

Ya not really sure. First thing I thought of was trying to crowd fund a few of these ATM's ...I have to think about this.

They're 20k a pop, they need a location, an internet connection and I would imagine that they need some maintenance to keep them running. So, they need to see a fair bit of volume to cover the costs, but if you had a few good locations I think you could see a good return.

If you offered a reasonable profit sharing scheme for investors (or funders), I don't think it'd be too hard to get fully funded. But, there's quite a lot of work involved.

There's actually two people (groups) who are doing this. One showcase a prototype ATM at a Bitcoin convention recently.

One is trying to raise funds in the Lending section of the forum. I forget the name...


Main issues seems to be the cost, they were saying each one costs like $40,000, and the other issue is complying with the legal side of it since it would be acting as a money dispenser.

It's good to know that there are people working on this. I'm sure there's a lot of work involved, but if they can get past bureaucracy, I don't think the cost will prove to be a major obstacle.

I'd be interested to check these guys out if you have a website or forum link?
