The first publicly-accessible Bitcoin vending machine in the United States has arrived in an upscale cigar bar in Albuquerque. Users of the Bitcoin machine that opened today in the New Mexico city can insert money, scan the QR code for their Bitcoin wallet, and have their funds transferred from dollars to the unregulated currency in a few seconds. Robocoin planned to become the first company in the United States to offer a physical, automated Bitcoin sales kiosk when it introduces its Bitcoin ATMs — which cost around $19,000 — to Seattle and Austin this month, but the company was beaten to the punch by Enchanted Bitcoin, which operates the Albuquerque machine.
