The brand of the ATM was localcoin

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just stick to the "instacoin" BTM machine instead?

I don't think your wallet gets linked to your phone number after such a trade.

You're right, but your address does!

i initially thought its only meant to perform transactions without the ability to accept cash or dispense cash,

Almost all of them come with at least one of those features.
