Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

A bitcoin ATM may be available in Paris at La Maison du Bitcoin ; grand opening on May 13th
I'm very glad! I will be in Paris next week so I hope I can try out new ATM  Come back telling us your experience here 3800 new bitcoins everyday, only a fraction arrive on the exchanges but Bitcoin needs to grow for the price to grow, ATMs can help tremendously |

A 10% fee is extremely high. May be the EU tax rates kicked in, on top of the French taxes. Bulk buyers might better travel to some other country (such as Switzerland) to buy their coins.  |

The commission includes a 20% VAT, so 10% is in fact 8% net. A physical desk service is not to be compared to an online market place, the service is not the same. It is more like Local Bitcoin, where fees are usually 10%, but in a secure facility and without the hassle of having to organize meetings with strangers. |

If you buy 500euros then you buy 500euros again, the second time your fee will be 9% You have a service : coming with cash and getting bitcoins easily and you have to compare it with the fees you pay when you use an exchange and the hassle to be verified : on bitstamp you will pay a fee of 0.5% rounded up to the nearest second decimal in bitcoins so if you buy 0.3BTC you will pay 0.01BTC fee which is 3.3% and you will lose some money during the exchange from Euro to Dollar You will obviously save a lot of money using an exchange compared to buying at a desk service or ATM |

But even 8% is much higher when compared to the fees charged by the other ATMs. For example, Quadriga CX charges just 3% on their Skyhook ATMs, which are installed in various Canadian cities. |

The fee is 6-10% and it is a desk service not an ATM 3% no matter how much is exchanged? It seems very competitive, what exchange are they using? |
