意大利产ATM问世
http://www.coindesk.com/bit-wallet-launches-italys-first-home-grown-bitcoin-atm/A new brand of bitcoin ATM from Italy is tested and ready for shipping worldwide, says manufacturer Bit-Wallet, which produced the machine in cooperation with Italy’s first cryptocurrency consultancy agency, CoinCapital.
The ATM’s compact size, price and feature set look ready to challenge Lamassu’s machines, which have proliferated in cafes and showrooms around the world since launching in October of last year.
Like Lamassu, Bit-Wallet says its devices also have the option to be bi-directional, meaning users can buy bitcoins and also sell them for cash. This makes the devices more like ‘traditional’ ATMs, which have deposit and withdrawal functions, rather than bitcoin vending machines.
Specs and price
The Bit-Wallet ATM’s total weight (minus cash) is 20kg and its cash reader can be programmed to accept any paper currency. Like most other bitcoin ATMs, the machine connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
The price for a one-way ‘buy-bitcoins-only’ ATM is €3,100 (plus sales tax and shipping) making it fairly competitive with rivals. Bit-Wallet says will ship orders anywhere in the world, providing local regulations do not restrict the machines.
Prices for the bi-directional version are available from Bit-Wallet on request, and are currently pre-order only.
