This is cool. What about gather all the stuff in a case, add keyboard and display and make it look usable at the shop? What do you think of making it a real machine?
As it is right now it doesn't need a keyboard or a display. It works like a change machine at a car wash. Put in bills and it spits out a paper bitcoin wallet.
I keep seeing these bitcoin atm prototypes that have a touchscreen. That just seems like overkill. I have never seen a change machine with an LCD. lol
I'm trying to create a device that is cheap enough anyone could buy one.
Right now the prototype is in its original case and that is an old dollar bill changer from a laundromat. I still need to do some tweaks, like add the button and remove the timer to look for more money being inserted.That way when someone is done inserting money they just hit the button. I also need to add some status LEDs.
I finally got the part for my 3d printer a few days ago. I just need to dial it in and I should be able to print the case for the guts of the ATM. I then need to drill out some rivets and remove the change funnel and mount the internal components. Then I just need to find a place that will print me a vinyl wrap for the atm and it will be complete.
