Vancouver hosts Bitcoin?s ATM coming out party
 

Ha Ha the machines have palm scanners or you cant use them. No thanks.

Yep in about 5 years

Seriously? Sort of throws a wrench into the whole "anonymous" currency.

PALM SCANNERS???

is that true? what happens with the scans?

how unrevolutionary of them if that is true

“You can literally walk up to the machine, scan your hand, and get started with bitcoin.”

The palm scanner is a way to identify a person’s bitcoin activity and to regulate the daily transaction limit, which in Canada is $3,000.

The great thing about the palm scanner, says Kelley, is that though it identifies the ATM user, it remains an anonymous method to transact in BTC.

Anonymous?????????????

"You have to use a credit card to buy on iTunes?! BitTorrent is doomed."

This is how retarded you sound trying to the hand scanner as an argument against bitcoin.

I like the idea of bitcoins, not giving my palm print to buy them.

There are plenty of other ways to get bitcoin.

This ATM only has a scanner becasue a criminal organization that calls itself the Canadian government uses the threat of violence agasint the men who created it.

Monetary controls like this will eventually become unenforceable.
