“The goal for Skyhook, according to Hannis, is not to make money from the sales of the ATM units. The concept is more community driven, the idea being that if bitcoin ATMs are widely available for people to use, bitcoin adoption will proliferate. The ATM’s retail price will be $999, and Skyhook will be accepting bitcoin as payment. The idea is to open-source the ATMs once they are ready, which is what Hannis and a small group of developers are working to complete. While a Lamassu unit will set you back $5,000, and a Robocoin model nearer the $20,000 mark, the Skyhook ATM team have used low-cost hardware to keep the unit’s price down.”
