Total Privacy Bitcoin ATM Comes to Google Country


On Thursday, Robocoin unveiled a new Bitcoin ATM in Mountain View, California at the 500 Startups’ Bitcoinferance. After the conference it will be moved to a permanent home down the block at Coinage, LLC, reports Gigaom.

The ATM offers total privacy once you provide your phone number, a government ID and a palm print (taken with a biometric scanner in the machine) to create an account.

  1. And in return you get a weak claim to a digital abstraction that can disappear at any moment.

  3. They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

  4. Bob, why are you claiming the ATM is offering total privacy? The article says nothing about offering total privacy so I assume you are being sarcastic. If that is the case, you assume that a privacy-seeking person would use this ATM. That is silly. That's like saying "The bank offers total privacy once you provide your phone number, a government ID and a palm print (taken with a biometric scanner in the machine) to create an account."

    Remember, like cash, your level of privacy is determined by the way you use it.

    Bitcoin must really be getting under you skin to make non-sensical swipes like this.
