These guys are selling a BTC vending machine for 5000 dollars per preorder.

Article says to use the machine, you just insert cash and it gives you a little QR code or something you scan to get your coins.

Here is the future of anonymous purchasing. Imagine one of these in your local 7-11 or other convenience store. Especially since it seems like you have the ability to put in any amount of cash with no minimum (but prob a max because of laundering laws).

I'm sure it takes some sort of fee, but that is to be expected.

I hope these or similar machines start popping up soon.

Genius idea! Love it, until some lad steals the whole thing and is able to crack the wallet.

Or steals the machine insert money > btc > take money out REPEAT

$5000? I thought I had heard that Lamassu was thinking of $1000 for each machine. Oh well, at least these are finally being put on the market.

I like this one better. Where i can cash out bitcoins from my BTCWallet.

Glad to see more companies getting involved though! The more people getting behind this currency the more powerful it becomes. Thanks for the link
