I have highly optimized the program and now most transactions take less than 5 seconds, most of the time less.

We did a speed test, see the video below. We were able to buy 3 sodas in under 1 minute, the only thing slowing it down is the soda machine itself.

From now on this is where we link when someone passes the canard that Bitcoin will never work because noone will wait ten minutes or an hour for confirmation at point of sale!

I think a version accepting both Bitcoins and dollars would be awesome.

v0.4 is complete.

It now emails me when a soda is sold, It emails me on power failure, and it emails me a daily report.

In v0.5 I hope to implement a web admin panel.

Why soda?

Soda is unhealty. Let's break corporate greed.

I'm not sure the connection between your second and third sentences.

"Greed" is just a disrespectful label anyway.

If anyone is in the midwest and wants to come buy a soda for posterity's sake the soda machine is located at.

Fantastic work. I wonder how long it will be till the guy who runs the local ice house in my town would be willing to use this.

This is awesome. It is a great demonstration of idea to functioning prototype AND it is actually a great idea for promoting the use of bitcoin/litecoin.

very very interesting. Will you Open the Source?

Probably not immediately. Once I have a business around it I may release this version 0.3 to the public as I will surely do many many updates.

I have a 3g phone, how long would you say it will take from scanning the code and sending the coins to getting the can? Like a total time from start to finish. And can you expand the tech to any vending machine, like chocolate, nappies, condoms that sort of thing?

most of the time its 10-30 seconds but if there are alot of purchases really fast it can take up to a minute. It is just looking for 0 confirm notification.

Any vending machine that takes a coinco coin validator, it currently works for the 120v AC units but I just bought a newer soda machine with a 24v DC system and will be making it work for that too. The more advanced vending machines where you can deposit variable amounts of money for items that cost different prices may not work, but if I had one of these machines I could make it work. Wink

Relay/monitor is all set up. Program runs flawlessly. All that is needed now is to install in the soda machine. That may be tomorow if I get time. I'm buying a 2nd soda machine and have to drive 2 hours to go pick it up tomorrow. lol

Updated to v0.3

Added dynamic QR codes, they now change to include the current price of a soda. Now all you have to do is scan the qr code and hit send on your phone. Simple.
