bitcoin.co.th is awesome

Had to send some money to a friend in Thailand.
Total turn around time was 20 minutes.
No names needed, they just walk up to a KTB ATM machine, punch in some codes (no card needed) and money comes out.

Baller. Wondering why Bitcoin ATMs don't offer this, I should be able to cash out from cavirtex.com or another exchange and go punch in a PIN and receive cash.

Yes, it sure seems that adding a function or two to BTC ATMs would be fairly simple given that each manufacturer seems to have figured out how to make a secure machine.  But, I would be happy if there just were BTC ATMs near me.

The lack of Bitcoin ATMs, both here (USA) and elsewhere is distressing.  We travel, and I would certainly take advantage of being able to buy BTC for cash in cities we travel to.  Quiet BTC for cash, what an idea...

I am hundreds of miles from a BTC ATM.  No bitcoiners in my city seem to know if/when any will come to town.  And the BTC ATM websites often show a machine available, but when I have called it is no longer there, not working, etc.

Maybe the business model for BTC ATMs is no good?
