Same machine physically
Acceptable exchange rate
But a different company logo / software
And
It required a drivers license or ID to scan........
Made me slightly uncomfortable using it yet for the sake of the experience my boy used his drivers license.
It was at a gas station close to 2 other ATMs that I use all the time.... the main one was out of coin and it didn't refill for well over 45 mins. It was right about the time I was getting signals sent to my phone that BTC was going to jump up in price. In he end I was able to get it at a price that when the BTC jump hit it negated my ATM fee. So basically I got dollar for dollar in value plus a little extra. Not a bad experience all in all. I would give it 6 out of 5 stars but ima give this one a 4 out of 5 stars. It's due to the fact that it required an ID to put the money in yet every other machine hasn't ... if it wasn't for my friend willing to use his ID I wouldn't have done it myself.
The machine was owned by: ATHENA / CoinSource
I used a Bitcoin ATM for the first time when I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. Coinsource, no I.D. scan, just an SMS to my phone.
I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, not a single Bitcoin ATM in all of Minnesota. WTF?
There are a couple of ways of finding if there are any near by.
I like idea #4 the most personally. Let me know whatcha think.
I also have a source for what local businesses except BTC/ALT coins as well.
Happy memorial weekend too btw!
