城里有一个新的比特币提款机。嗯，这是在莱利斯塔德，荷兰的弗莱福兰省省会。
Bitsend公司今天宣布自动柜员机位于市中心，在火车站，路过的人看它格外显眼。位置如此居中，事实上，根据设备运营商Bitsend的说法，它是位于该地区的所有主要银行之间（如ING，荷兰合作银行，SNS）。
正如你在上图可能看到也可能没看到（courtesy Bitsend），该设备是Lamassu制造的机器。这就意味着，这只是一个单向的ATM，只具备用当地货币兑换比特币发送的能力（虽然Lamassu现在提供了一种外设，可以使用双向功能，但这是题外话）。
Lamassu比特币亭仍然是世界上最流行的产品，有超过235台（葡萄牙制造）在世界各地服役。
创建一个小的生态系统
Bitsend正在把他们的户外比特币ATM提升到另一个层次，直接创建一个围绕ATM机的小型生态系统。
Bitsend创建商家销售点系统，让附近的商家可以轻松地接受比特币支付。这些商家有销售食品，饮料，如果你愿意买的话，甚至有酒。
这是一个很好的计划。如果你要装一台自动取款机，为什么不更进一步，给顾客一个消费的选择呢？
总体而言，这似乎是一个令人兴奋的发布，但我们还不知道他们打算如何在雨中经营机器！
评论：比特币的优势还是在互联网上支付，在雨中，在停电的情况下，依然是纸币最方便。
There’s a new bitcoin ATM in town. Well, it’s in Lelystad, Netherlands — capital of the Flevoland province.
Announced today, the ATM is centrally located at a train station, making it exceptionally visible to those who pass by. So central, in fact, that it’s located between all the major banks in the area (such as ING, Rabobank, SNS), according to the device’s operator, Bitsend.
As you may or may not be able to see from the picture (courtesy Bitsend), the device is a Lamassu-manufactured machine. What this means is that it’s only a one-way ATM, and only has the capability of dispensing bitcoin in exchange for local currency (although Lamassu does now offer a peripheral stand that enables two-way functionality, but that’s beside the point).
Lamassu kiosks remain the most popular offering with providers, with over 235 units (manufactured in Portugal) in service around the world.
Creating a small ecosystem
Bitsend is taking the opening of their outdoor bitcoin ATM to a another level by creating a mini ecosystem directly around the machine.
By creating a merchant point-of-sale system, Bitsend is allowing nearby merchants to easily accept bitcoin. These merchants are selling anything from food, beverages, and even alcohol if you so desire.
The plan is a good one. If you’re going to set up an ATM, why not take is a step further and give people an option when it comes to spending them?
Overall, seems like an exciting launch, but we just aren’t sure how they’re planning to run their machine in the rain!
