Community Project Proposal: Nimiq ATM

The goal is this proposal is to provide a simple way to acquire Nimiq and increase awareness for the
ecosystem via Crypto ATM machines.

The Nimiq Community Funding Board will meet next meet.

Join our community to discuss the proposal and ask questions to the members who submitted it: Telegram | Discord
I personally like this kind of project, as it represents a gateway between the Internet world and real life. I don't know if it really feasible to develop an entire network of ATMs but a few ones would already be a big step forward IMO. I could give visibility to Nimiq. (But it would be quite costly, though.)
Also, when Nimiq become a bit known, what about negotiating with ATM manufacturers to include Nimiq in their multi-crypto ATMs? I think it can be another possibility (and, I think, a better one, since people are more likely to buy this kind of ATM rather than a Nimiq-only ATM).

We have been discussing with ATM manufacturers but haven't reach any solid agreement. It makes more sense to find a way to add it in existing ATM instead of having a NIM-only ATM because, as you say, investment could make it unfeasible (considering the ATMs start at 7.5k). If you have any more input send it this way and I'll make sure it reaches the Community Board for the meeting next week.


Concerning big bold red FUD

Please Read

Since its launch, this have been an informative/discussion thread.
In January these group of users were created with the sole purpose of spreading FUD in this thread:

nimiqshitcoin, coinfanatic, andrewjaxx, john.btc, sasha.new, Scamiq, Scamiq2, matthewgpu

As you might have noticed they always use unnecessarily aggressive language, huge red bold fonts and empty claims instead of serious questions.

Team Nimiq have answered here their non-factual claims. Also held a live Reddit AMA session recently where all questions were answered.
There is also a blog post with a  summary of the AMA.

Nimiq welcome all newcomers, invite them to ask questions, and would like to apologize for these users behavior and any inconvenience they might cause.
