If we can get these to accept Monero, it will be the holy grail of ATMs! Monero is borderless unlike the USD and other fiat currencies. If these ATMs can accept Monero, they can be deployed around the world.

I never thought I will see the day of a Goldback ATM, especially now. So is it really a pipe dream for XMR to Goldback ATM?

    It sounded interesting to me too (initially) don’t get me wrong. It can supposedly be melted, it can also get damaged pretty easily and most importantly, there is no way of verifying I’m buying what is being advertised.

    The FAQ is all marketing and nothing of value, have a look. The “can it be faked” part gives it all away. There’s nothing to do with gold, you trust the company and their “patented technology”.

    More options are always better, this is not one.

      Fair point. I didn’t think about how it would be far more difficult to verify using a metalytics scanners and verifiers and such.

      And thinking on it more, that the FAQ doesn’t provide how one might, like an acid test or something, and that they haven’t developed and marketed a home-based way to verify seems like a red flag.

      After all, Monero is all about “trust but verify”
