Oh no, i think you misunderstood Grin

i didnt bought a BTC atm (as in ''at the moment'')
i bought the machine, a real ATM. ( see picute below )

-snip-

Haha, this was my first thought, too. Why the hell is he telling us he bought some Bitcoins. Thousands and thousands people do that. Noting worth to mention. My next thought then was, or maybe he means an ATM machine? But no one can be that crazy!

So what are your plans with this device? That is in my opinion the much more exciting question Cheesy

I dont have plans with it yet, want to get it up and running first. The machine crossed my path and i could snipe it for a fun price. For now its more like a hobby project

I think my first concern will be if you can re-configure the receiving Bitcoin address on the machine? Can you restore to the factory defaults to remove and re-configuration whatever was on the machine before?

You do not want this machine to send all the coins received or funded by you, to go through a backdoor to some other recipient? (Also firmware) Roll Eyes

We know some people hijack hardware wallet deliveries and they open the boxes to copy the seed words... and then they close the box again and use that seed on another wallet to take whatever is send to that wallet by the recipient. Roll Eyes

The machine came new from the (wooden) nailed box. I could see it was never been opened. Also the protective plasitc and such was still on it, cardrigde were seperatly packed etc. I am pretty sure it is in factory settings now.

It starts up perfectly, but then after a few seconds a window pops up wich won't close, asking for internet + password. Thats about how far i got Wink

You own the pen

Nice support man! you are the best man. Looks like you supported bitcoin from another level of enthusiasm. Hope you get some good things out of it and hope it will become a trend in your place. I think making a post on social media will help you as well. Most people are curious about how that ATM works, they also wanted to try it for the first time. honestly, if that was close to where I am right now, I would have tried it too and post my honest review here.

Thanks for the reply's all.

i emailed the manufacturer, lets hope someone still reads it Cheesy

Or maybe someone with some experience with this kind of machines comes by here ^^

The guy i bought the machine from didnt have any technical knowledge whatsoever, so that was a dead end.

I didnt dive into the legal requirements yet, its more like a hobby project for now.

Also i found this, not that usefull, but atleast i found someone with a machine. Gonna try my luck here too

I am hoping you can be able to operate your Bitcoin ATM machine for some profits in your locality. Sad to know that the company dealing with the ATM machine has already gone six feet below the ground so the next step is the one posted by DdmrDdmr who is a good researcher by the way...you need to go to the ultimate maker of the machine to found out the mechanics operating the said box. And it would be good if you can update us with developments of your ATM machine. By the way, is there any legal requirements for putting up such a "vending money machine" in your locality?

I'd go with DdmrDdmr's sollution first, and if it doesn't pan out, you can always try twitter: the reseller (bitxatm) does have a twitter account: https://twitter.com/bitxatm
This being said, they did not retweet anything since 2017, but if you send them a DM, the original owner might (or might not) still get an e-mail message alerting him/her of your DM, and he/she might (or might not) be willing to help you out.
But like i said: it's a longshot...

EDIT: after thinking about your problem: can't the person who sold you this item help you out? The odds are that it has a fixed network config and isn't using DHCP, and it might not be able to reach the internet due to your LAN's setup (hence, give you the message it's not connected to the internet). Also, the person who sold it to you should be able to provide you with info about passwords (and network config).

Perhaps you could contact the actual producer of the ATM to see if they can assist you. According to CoinATMRadar’s page, the producer is a german company called German Global Funds Transfer (GFT) GmbH.
https://coinatmradar.com/manufacturer/19/bitxatm-bitcoin-atm-producer/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=pmd_gRyzgYgH9S3MYPKZfA0R1K357pXRwh0alL9nNWTnC0k-1629794134-0-gqNtZGzNAhCjcnBszQfl

The page also states that there are 62 BitXatm’s ATMs installed, so an option yould be to contact any of these and pull the thread to see who gives them support, and if they have encountered your issue.

There’s also some contact info here, if correct, which probably won’t go far if the company no longer exists, but worth a try:

Hi guys,

As the topic already says, i bought a btc atm. I know im a bit late to the party maybe, but it was a bargain Wink

Anyway, the thing looks pretty cool. Its powers on and does show the ''buy and sell buttons'' on it touchscreen display.

Sadly (athough i have put in the LAN cable for internet) the machine keeps saying that it ''has no internet connection'' and that i have to enter a password. (''Sumo Pro cannot be operated withouth an internet connection'')

Then i went to Google, and searched myself a headache. The manufacture of the machine (Bitxatm) is (probably) out of business, since their website is no longer working. Aslo i can never find something like a setupmanual for it.

Someone here who has experience with a machine like this? Can i still do anything with it? Or has it become useless now Bitxatm.com is gone?

Thanks in advance!
