I've seen them pop up all around me, in small convenience stores and even restaurants. I was wondering if it's a good option to buy a gift for someone else, or are the fees too high and it's not worth it? Also I'm not sure how it works but figuring they give you a private key, and how safe is that?

Found some similar threads in the past.

Personally, I have used one, but the fees is expensive as per discussions on the threads above. I'm not sure if this is viable as a gift though, you might want to look at Opendime: https://opendime.com/

Thank you for the link to those posts. I didn't expect that so many people have never even seen one IRL. I just took it for granted, like it would be a common thing. But most people writing in these threads have never seen one...and it makes me wonder about a few things now. Especially someone mentioning a camera would be recording (because someone mentioned it was "anonymous") ...it's certainly interesting to hear the experiences of people who have used one.

Regarding opendime, that is an interesting option. At about $20 a device it would make sense on a 100+ gift, especially if they reuse it or re-gift it.
