Don't expect a rush of coins to shoot out of a hatch like at the casinos.
Bitcoins are all digital. Once the customer puts money into a Bitcoin ATM, such as the one launching in Austin, the machine dispenses a small paper QR code, which looks like a barcode, says Jordan Kelley, chief executive of Las Vegas-based Robocoin, which makes the ATMs. That code is scanned to a mobile app, which boosts the customer's bitcoin balance by the deposited amount.
A user can also get cash for his bitcoins at the ATM by scanning the mobile app containing the encrypted bitcoin balance. The machine will then dispense the amount of cash requested, Kelley says.
Other Bitcoin machines recently launched in New Mexico and Boston allow customers to get bitcoins for cash ��but don't dispense cash for bitcoins, a key distinction between those machines and the Austin ATM, he says.

Looking for a couple of near-term trades that have a decent shot at rallying even if the broad market feels like it might pull back? Then take a look at Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:LQMT) and NanoTech Entertainment, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NTEK). Although both LQMT and NTEK will be dismissed by some traders simply because they're OTC-listed stocks, for those traders willing to look past the exchange and appreciate the opportunity, the risk-versus-reward ratio is actually quite compelling.
