Kelley says the start-up has purchased five machines from Robocoin for $20,000 each. Bitcoiniac plans to deploy its machine in Toronto, Montreal, London, and Berlin. A number of other cities, including Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, are slated to get Robocoin machines in early 2014.

Since Robocoin launched, the price of Bitcoins on the Bitstamp exchange has increased from around $200 to more than $260 today.”
