Remember the story about a bitcoin ATM opening in Canada? Well, they’ve already installed it and its working as we speak. The machine now lives at Waves Coffee House in Vancouver’s downtown area. It uses palm-recognition for users to log in to their accounts, which is pretty nifty – but could get pretty gross pretty quickly.
Users who don’t have any Bitcoins can still exchange cash for the online currency, and create an account on the spot. In fact, a third of Wednesday’s 81 ATM users were first-timers, according to Geekwire.
The future, she is here. (Well, not here, but over there.)
