Topic: Bitcoin Vending Machine for Internet Cafes (BitPay?) - page 2. (Read 3616 times)
Simple slam-dunk idea for an Internet Cafe:
1. BitPay provides prepaid Bitcoin cards (I mention BitPay because Tony has expressed a desire to produce cards like this)
2. Buy THIS vending machine:

3. Use this artwork instead (for the face of the machine):
Voila. Ubiquity.
The supply chain makes its money by providing (for example) only $9 or $9.50 worth of bitcoins (configurable) per $10 card, and $18 or $19 or $19.50 per $20 card.
The buyer receives a dollar-denominated card that is converted to bitcoins using the exchange rate at the moment he redeems the card. When he redeems it he can send it all to a single address or split it across multiple addresses.
