LoyceV on the road. Or couch.
I still like the idea, because I do not see any Bitcoin vending machines anymore
This can be added to traditional vending machines! Forget about ATMs, vending machines have much broader coverage!

Something that intrigued me was that you can load a Bitcoin wallet with small change and then rinse and repeat the process with the same coins, if you owned the ATM. So the idea behind this, would be to transfer fiat to BTC and for that you need a money transmitter license.. right?

I still like the idea, because I do not see any Bitcoin vending machines anymore and this could be a much faster way to convert Fiat to BTC. Let's hope this goes mainstream soon, because the other Bitcoin ATM's out there are not this fast.  Wink

@ETFbitcoin : Agreed on security and durability points (price will go up when talking about security etc), but its just proof of work and he spent only 80 bucks, it could be use for education purpose too.

@aundroid @DireWolfM14:  He's going to make tutorial and update github soon. he received good response from community so far so its just a matter of time.

There is trouble abrewing
It needs to make a case for that device instead of cartons.

this was more like a prototype and i think the goal was to show that you could build one at home with simple things while keeping the cost minimal ($80) which is why a paperboard box was used, otherwise the cost would have been a lot higher.

I've checked that out, it's great but I think the main advantage is the speed of doing it using a lightning network.
The advantage is that ATM is more like moneybox, rather than keeping cents, but it can be saved using a satoshi for your wallet.
Easier in storage and higher in value.

Thread with caution... The ATM has not yet been tested over time for security.

You don't want to expose delicate info to strangers.

This is awesome. It's like a Coin wifi here in the Philippines where you insert coin to connect to the internet  Grin. It's like a piggy bank for coins but instead turns to Bitcoin. It's simple and can be adopted by Bitcoin ATM owners. I wonder if that will be implemented in a third world country in the south-east Asia.

Very impressive.  I think I just found a winter project and a use for my raspberry pi.

Wow, that's brilliant!
Thanks for sharing.

Let's hope he provides a tutorial, then I'll build this for myself.
Then my friends and family can buy some satoshi from me and get used to crypto  Grin

If it already been shared here so, please let me know and guide me to the thread, will lock this thread right away.

I was going through over my Reddit feed and found some cool stuff, so sharing with you guys. I am not much of a technical guy, but this idea seems pretty innovative and interesting to me. What you guys thinks?
