Check News subforum. Speculation subforum != this site  EDIT: Yes it will affect the price, but only so far as slowly adding long-term stability. Any initial market reaction has already happened. |

It will affect, but as already mentioned - in long term.

Otherwise I suspect we would have a few here already. |

Plus the company splits the profits 70/30 (30 for the company that makes them) I looked into purchasing a few. But the hoops you have to jump thru here in the USA to become a money transmitter are very difficult. Each State has their own rules and regulations. To get in to the Bitcoin ATM game, you have to have a lot of money. One State requires you to have a net worth of one million dollars, while another (Nevada) only requires 100k net worth.. I can see why Canada was the first. USA will get them, but Im betting there will only be a few companies that will own them. What would be smart is if a company that already had the MTL would get into it. The 18k per is the easy part.. On average, there are only about 30-50 money transmitters in any given state. Mostly, its paypal, greendot, etc. In my State, there were only 2 companies that had their MTL and were based here. Most were the big boys, WU, etc.. |

To become a money transmitter who deals in electronic transactions requires a $300k surety bond. Bitcoin price needs to be a bit higher before I can afford that. |

To answer the OP's question: we may be seeing affect on the price now, at least on virtex. The price there has been creeping up since Tuesday after a prolonged period (months) of lagging 5-10% behind gox, and even bitstamp. Now it's almost on part with gox.
This is what I would expect if people are converting cash to BTC using the ATM.

That is adding up to the momentum, hopefully some of the countryside cooperatives do the same and accept bitcoins.

Don't be too sure... The volume on Wednesday on cavirtex was 563.72; if the ATM did $30k in sales, that's about 150 BTC or more than 25% of virtex's volume. Similarly low (or lower) numbers the next 3 days - 505, 181 and 351. Today hit $218 - just $1 shy of the 6 month high. It might be coincidence but don't forget the machine just buys at the best selling price... It doesn't do limit orders. So any significant volume has the potential to affect a small volume exchange like virtex. I think this is showing just how much need there is for an ATM. |

So weird seeing CAVirtex ahead of MTGox. CAV was always 5-10% cheaper than Gox.

I believe it scans your palm to create a unique image, blood vessels and all. This is to identify people so they don't cross the $3000 limit. |
