A bitcoin-accepting vending machine would be very cool, but that requires that you live near one. Setting up shipping seems a lot easier than creating a nation-wide vending machine network.


Why would you prefer bitcoin over cash for anonymity at a vending machine?


Good point. Managing cash for a vending machine with high-value items seems like it might be a pain. I know there are various ipod vending machines around, but I assume most people use a credit card for those. But I suppose feeding some 20s isn't too hard.


I didn't think about high value items. That's a good use case for bitcoin at vending machines.
