The Illegal Bitcoin ATM, Spending Bitcoin in El Salvador

In this episode we talk about the Open Source Bitcoin ATM a group of us got together and built, how we created the software in 24 hours, Another person built the the wood case for it, we mounted it, got some press, but then ended up getting a letter from the Federal Government and had to take it down.  

 

Also in this episode we talk about my Bitcoin trip to El Salvador, how I was mostly disappointed with the ability to spend my bitcoin with vendors, even so much as having people sitting in front of signs saying they accept Bitcoin only to have them say that "no they do not accept Bitcoin".  We talk a little about El Salvador culture as well.
