The machine allows users to insert currency into a bill validator, a common component of any vending machine. The machine calculates the value of the currency and displays a QB code (those fancy bar codes that mobile devices can read). Customers ‘read’ the QB code with their mobile device, and Bitcoins are deposited into their virtual ‘wallet’ based on the value of Bitcoin per dollar at that moment.”
