Press release 23 April 2012
Bitcoin ATM code is now officially an
open source effort.
This is
a quick and dirty release. Documentation, development history, hardware specs,
business plan etc... will be ‘dumped’ to a file
sharing platform in the coming weeks. There are two versions of the
application. Version 1 is an executable but I am not sure what tools were used
to create it because the source code has been lost, so it will need to be
decompiled. Version 2 is php, a bit more functional
and easier on the eyes but needs some patching. The hardware platform is a Genmega GK1000 Kiosk running windows xp
pro with ActiveX drivers for the bill acceptor, printer, card reader etc.
The Bitcoin ATM brand, website, company name or artwork is NOT
open source. However proposals for free or very low cost licensing are being
accepted. You may use the code freely with no obligations,
however contributors/collaborators will be rewarded.

What is Bitcoin ATM
Video Introduction: http://www.youtube.com/user/DigiVidMedia
Bitcoin ATM bridges the gap between virtual currencies and cash, allowing real time cash purchases of bitcoins and facilitating many other transaction types using bitcoin as a medium.
Bitcoin ATM will become the fastest growing and largest bitcoin related startup entertaining licensing agreements and additional funding from high net worth holders of bitcoins such as ‘mining pools’ and early adopters (and old school fiat currencies if we must).
Bitcoin ATM is planning 200 Bitcoin ATMs worldwide by Q3 2012.
Advanced features:
· Instant Bitcoin & USD deposits for customers of Tradehill and MtGox.
· btc.to bitcoin receiving address shortener.
· QR code integration allowing compatibility with bitcoin wallets based on the Android operating system.
· Printing of QR codes of both the public and private keys with subsequent charging. (note: these are not a substitute for Bitbills but a tool of convenience for small amounts of bitcoins to be spent soon)
· Vanity Bitcoin addresses generated in real time (affiliate).
· Printing of public & private keys on separate receipts bringing full offline capabilities to bitcoin (optional).
· Free app for Android & iPhone with BPT enhanced bitcoin wallet. (BPT - Bitcoin Power Toys)
Historical Note: Bitcoin ATM is the first Bitcoin related company to be seed funded entirely by Bitcoins from a small group of enthusiasts. The first Bitcoin ATM was purchased with bitcoin funds using Tradehill’s innovative vendor invoice processing system.
Bitcoins, 'it's your choice'.
