When do you scan a QR code, and when do you scan a barcode?

The printout shows two codes: the QR code at the top and the barcode at the bottom.

The first— the QR code —is used to deposit cryptocurrency to an address so you can withdraw funds in local currency at a shitcoins.club Bitcoin ATM.

The second— the barcode —is used to withdraw verified funds in local currency. This means that you scan the QR code with your phone to make a deposit, and you scan the barcode at the ATM to receive the funds after the exchange.

What is a cryptocurrency wallet, and where can I download one?

A cryptocurrency wallet (simply an "e-wallet" app on your phone) is one popular way to store crypto. Bitomat.com does not have its own app and does not require downloading any specific one.
‍
Choose any wallet according to your preferences. The only thing you should keep in mind is that the only cryptocurrencies we support are in the table on the home page, and we only support USDT on the TRC20 network.

Where is the Bitcoin ATM in my city? Will you open a new one?

All Bitcoin ATMs with opening hours, directions, photos, amount of funds and online/offline status can be found on the Bitcoin ATMs - Map subpage.

We announce the opening of new locations on social media and as news in the Blog section. You can also suggest opening a new unit (or suggest something else) by leaving an opinion on GoogleMaps. To do so, go to the Feedback page.

Do you offer buying and selling of cryptocurrencies other than BTC, ETH, LTC, and USDT on TRC20?

We announce the addition of new cryptocurrencies on our Blog and social media. Subscribe to stay up to date. You can find the current list of cryptocurrencies on the homepage in the Cryptocurrency Prices table.

If I used the option "Sell cryptocurrency..." then I can withdraw anytime, at any Bitcoin ATM in the world?

The option to sell cryptocurrencies on the Bitomat.com website allows transactions only in a network of about 200 Bitcoin ATMs. The barcode (barcode) that allows sales at the device is valid indefinitely.

I would like to pick up the cash from the sale of cryptocurrencies in person

We do not currently offer in-person exchanges. If this changes, we will announce it on our blog, in our newsletter, and on social media.

I would like to join the Bitomat.com team

We encourage you to visit our Careers page, where we are currently hiring for many positions that may interest you.

Is it possible to buy cryptocurrency without scanning the wallet's QR code? Can I just make a deposit by entering the key?

We regret to inform you that transfers to any selected exchange address are currently not possible. In all cases, you must scan the wallet’s QR code. If there are any changes, we will announce them on our Blog and social media.

The ATM dispensed less than it should have

Please contact our hotline immediately to report the situation. Please provide details about the incident, including a description of the circumstances, the location, the date, and the transaction ID. To enhance your customer experience, we offer a variety of channels through which you can get assistance. Check them out on the Contact Us page.

I have less than €10 or £10 left and I can't withdraw it because Bitcoin ATM doesn't issue coins

We are flexible on this issue and offer several ways to resolve the issue. This amount will be added to your next payout if you send Bitcoin to the same address, or if you have several transaction codes with such an unpaid "end".

We will sum them up and add them to one code, allowing you to withdraw cash in Bitcoin ATM Shitcoins.club. It is also possible to make a refund, but amounts below 10 PLN are only refunded for cryptocurrency DASH , because for other cryptos we support, this amount would not even be enough to pay the miners. Therefore, we strongly recommend adding them to the next code and withdrawing them with the next transaction.

It is also possible to select the "QR for a specific PLN withdrawal" option. Please enter the PLN value for withdrawal and generate QR. The wallet will select the amount of Bitcoin so that you receive exactly the amount you declared. This way, there will be no "endings" below 10 PLN or 10 EUR on the transaction codes.

Bitcoin ATM in my location does not work

We regularly check the status of our cryptocurrency ATMs, but if you’d like to speed up the resolution process, you can report the location of a malfunctioning machine on social media and/or via one of the methods listed on our Contact page. We’ll address it immediately!

My transaction is "stuck"—it hasn't been included in the first block

Due to unusual network issues, the standard fee was likely too low for the transaction to be included in the first block.

This frustrating issue stems from the nature of blockchain technology. Given our experience in resolving such issues, we are ready to assist in various ways, although in 95% of cases, simply waiting 1–4 days is sufficient.

We have prepared a special video guide for this situation titled: Transaction is taking longer than expected. To summarize the guide, if you have made a purchase, we can expedite the transaction upon request. However, this incurs a higher fee for miners. This fee is not deducted by Shitcoins.club.

If you have sold and the double-spend option is available in your e-wallet, we encourage you to use this option to speed up the transaction; however, in this situation, our system will first automatically block the transaction. We will need to manually unblock it so that you can withdraw your cash. Therefore, please notify us immediately if you use the Double Spend option.

If the steps outlined here or in the video guide do not resolve the issue, please contact us. Please include the transaction ID in the subject line.

Bitcoin ATM does not have as much cash as I wanted to withdraw

Bitcoin ATMs replenish regularly, but it is possible that information on one of the ways available on the Contact Us page will speed up the process at the indicated location.

If you found out about insufficient cash by scanning the withdrawal code, Bitcoin ATM will ask you to choose one of three options:
‍
- return the cryptocurrency to the indicated address
- return the cryptocurrency to the source address, i.e. the one from which it was sent.

Do not choose this option when you sold us cryptocurrency through an exchange, or you have a changeable address in your wallet. Keep the code for depositing funds.

The Shitcoins.club website shows that confirmation of the blockchain transaction is in progress, while Etherscan shows that the funds have already been credited

Sometimes there may be a delay in updating the transaction status. If the issue persists for more than 1–4 days, please contact us. We will resolve the issue.

Bitcoin ATM failed to print receipt with QR code due to lack of paper

Please contact us by email, including the transaction ID in the subject line.

I want to cancel the transaction

The basic feature of blockchain described by Satoshi Nakamoto in his first paper on the technology is that, unlike other financial systems, transactions in blockchain are absolutely irreversible. Since Bitcoin ATMs operate on the blockchain network, undoing a transaction is impossible.

What is the average time it takes for a transaction to be posted?

In 95% of cases, transactions are approved within minutes.

In the remaining 5% of cases (i.e., when the fee for miners has been set too low at Bitcoin ATM), it can take several days for a transaction to be approved.

To save you time, we will help you unblock your transaction, even if it is due to a low set fee for miners, or due to other problems. To do so, contact us. If you have experience with blockchain technology, you can also watch our video tutorial on prolonged transactions, and solve the problem on your own.

It's taking a long time for the transaction to be posted. What should I do?

When making a transaction via Bitcoin ATM , we specify the amount of the miner's fee. We do this using the slider on the screen. The more we pay, the faster the transaction will be completed. The amount of the fee is on average about $2. It goes to cryptocurrency miners in various places around the world.

In 95% of cases, the long waiting time is related to the insufficiently high fee for miners. We recommend waiting up to 4 days, and next time increase the fee for miners (in Bitcoin ATM we set it with a slider). If you are concerned about the time, or it has been more than 4 days, contact us with the transaction ID and describing the problem.

What is a miner's fee?

Miner fees are mining fees that are universal in the world and are deducted with every form of transaction on the blockchain. They average $2. They cover the computing power needed to verify transactions on the cryptocurrency network. Mining fees are passed on to a miner or computer anywhere in the world, which does the work to verify the next block of transactions added to the blockchain.

The amount of miner fees you set in Bitcoin ATM using the slider will determine the speed at which your transaction is approved.

The transaction already has many confirmations and several days have passed, but the status of my transaction still does not allow me to withdraw from Bitcoin ATM

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact us using one of the methods listed below. Please include the transaction ID in the subject line of your message.

What is AML?

AML, or Anti-Money Laundering, refers to the prevention of money laundering. It is one of the legal requirements for conducting business in a country that is a member of the European Union. The legal regulations related to AML are described in the "Directive on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing" and the relevant transposed national law. More on Lex Europa.

What do we need to prepare to unblock our transaction—when implementing AML procedures in accordance with the 5th AMLD?

To unlock the transaction, contact the Customer Support Team in one of several ways described on the Contact Us page or call the number listed on the Bitcoin ATM case. Prior to the call, prepare the following:
‍
- photo of the receipt/transaction number,
- day, time and location of the transaction,
- scan/photo of both sides of the ID -- ID card, passport,
- justification/answer to questions:
-- why we wanted to make the transaction,
-- to whom we sent the currency,
-- what we know about cryptocurrencies and how blockchain works,
-- whether we know that cryptocurrencies cannot be paid in institutions and banks,
-- whether we were forced to make the transaction,
-- which code to scan at which stage

The printout shows two codes: the top QR Code and the bottom Barcode (barcode). The first - QR code - is the code that is used to deposit the cryptocurrency at the address to be able to use the withdrawal in domestic currency at the bitcoin Shitcoins.club ATM.

The second (Barcode) is used to withdraw verified funds in national currency. This means that you scan the QR code with your phone to deposit, and scan the barcode in the ATM scanner to get the funds after exchange.

Why has my money been frozen, and on what legal grounds?

If your funds were frozen during the transaction, it is most likely due to the administrator’s obligation to follow government-mandated AML procedures. The law requires the administrator to investigate suspicious transactions. There is no need to worry if the funds come from a legitimate source. We will complete the transaction as soon as possible or refund the funds.

What is the limit beyond which I have to scan my ID?

The limits are set by the government of the country where you are located. You can check the current KYC limits in Poland in the information bar at the very top of the homepage.
