Nice news ! Hope this will spread quickly and be world wide!

We need idea and concepts like this brought into other smaller countries to boost the adoption of bitcoin. Smaller countries would adapt to it much faster than larger countries.

South Africa could do with something like this.

Yeah like you said in smaller countries it will adapt quickly than larger countries !

In my 'small country', there are very few merchants who accept bitcoin. There are traders though of course but are still too little in numbers. To be honest, I think I'm pretty much one of the hundreds of people who use bitcoin or at least know about it here. Would sure wish this changes soon...

We could propose Bitcoin ATMs to be included with Regular ATMs at large/major shopping malls as well. We could create a small ecosystem using Bitcoin. With local stores we can talk to the manager/proprietor to start thinking about introducing Bitcoin to it's customers.

This sort of thing seems to be popping up in a few countries (UK with zip-zap) and some other countries in Europe (think Poland). Sadly, I don't think many people tend to use these sorts of services as there just doesn't seem to be enough demand for bitcoin at the moment. Maybe that will change in the future, though.

This is how the Bitcoinbon looks. More information soon!

So you're not actually buying the coins directly? You just buy a pin to collect them? How do you get them into your wallet from there? I think printing a QR code or the private key would be a better idea.

Actually this is an excellent idea. You obviously don't know German as everything is written on the "bon" (paper) that you receive.
I'll write a in a more detailed manner on how I got it, how to use it and describe the experience.

You redeem here with the code: https://www.bitcoinbon.at/#redeem

We need this in Denmark so badly!

There is no news about BTC here and not many are interested in using it Sad

Well,
whole europe would need some kind of big campaign or happening about bitcoin as my home country and our neighbour countries don't have many knowledge about what bitcoin is.
Maybe make some movie about it and push it to tv's or some conferrence.
It needs more promotion, i don't know single company that works with bitcoin.

http://cointelegraph.com/news/113424/austria-gets-600-merchants-selling-bitcoin-overnight

Finally, something happened in Austria, I can be proud of.
Do give some background. Trafiken are the only shop, where you can buy tobacco ware(of course there are also vending machines for that) and lottery scratch ticket. There are some really fucked up laws about that in Austria. So, in Austria there is always a Trafik near you, so you can feed your lung cancer, now that also goes for Bitcoin.

That's some amazing news, i didn't think that we could see so mass adoption in any europe country sooner than in some countires of US.
Seems like it's time to visit my friend who works there or ask him about these atms first and tell him to test them Grin

.
Positive news indeed!!!

It's not an ATM, it is a Bon you buy and redeem online.

Yep i asked him about that and he told me the same so i went throught the whole article and yep you have corrected me thank you...

Wow, in a country like that I would have never expected a concept of Bitcoin to take off to the point where you can purchase BTC that easily. The US should follow. Vancouver, I believe, has a Bitcoin ATM, and in the US I think one exists as well. Not as easy, clearly.

WOW this is really great news!
My country, Croatia, is very near to Austria, so I may come to visit you and buy some BTC

I hope something like this happen also soon in my country.
Recently, we got first bitcoin ATM in Zagreb, so at least, this is some good start for bitcoin community in our country.

600 Läden und "an jeder ecke" ist doch etwas anderes. aber trotzdem nicht schlecht

Austria is about 1% the size am USA, so it would be like having 60,000 bitcoin outlets in America.
I think that classifies as "an jeder ecke" oder? nicht buchstäblich aber...

I think the same thing is already available in the UK, but the bitcoin economy is still pretty small there, I hope it helps the Austrian's BTC economy more.

I'm going to try and find one in Wien today. I'll definitely post some pictures afterwards.
This is quite exciting.

Quote from: turvarya on February 06, 2015, 08:58:30 AM

A few?
I just know of 2 BTC ATMs. One in Vienna, one in Graz Wink

I expressed myself wrongly. I couldn't find a few that's the issue. The only one that I encountered (after a lot of searching), was this one:

Now the Bitcoinbons are everywhere.

600 outlets (with an option to expand to 1200), that's pretty impressive.

What is the face value of Bitcoinbon vouchers?
Bitcoinbon is available as a voucher for 25, 50 and 100 EUR.

https://coinfinity.co/bitcoinbon-en/

So basically you're not buying bitcoins directly, you're buying voucher you can redeem for BTC at bitcoinbon.at. That's actually a good idea and could drive more sales than standard BTC ATM.
