Last days I've been considering the idea of buying some ATM machines to install close to tourist destinations here in Spain (where I live).
I believe that it can be very useful for travellers that don't want to pay high exchange fees in the airports or in the exchange shops. In order to start preparing the things for the summer season I've studied some terminals: Robocoin, Lamassu, LocalBitcoins.
Since the main idea is to withdraw bank notes out of bitcoins
Lamassu and
LocalBitcoins machine are not an option, cause they only allow the possibility to BUY bitcoins.
Robocoin is beyond my budget and even if it was not, they have this fixed fee that makes it a bit expensive for "my future clients".
Investigating in bitcoinatmexplorer.com I saw a possible hidden player which is produced in Spain (what a coincidence) and can both perform BUYs and SELLs. It is called
BTCPoint and in their website
http://www.btcpoint.org it says that they come from a group of Asic manufacturers called
MinerFactory.
I think the guys of BTCPoint didn't advertise so much or they came out recently cause none of the people I've talked to know about them. I asked some information in their website but I didn't get an answer yet. What they say in their site seems a pretty
good deal and the price they advertise is acceptable to me (
7500€ per unit).
What I'm afraid of is the that there are
few references in the internet about BTCpoint. Do any of you know this guys/brand? Do you have detailed information of this machine? Have some ATMs been shipped already? are there some of them in place and where (if there are in Spain I could go see them personally) ?
