FEES, INITIAL CAPITAL & VOLATILITY

Does ChainBytes charge a fee?

ChainBytes charges a small percentage off the volume of transactions going through our systems. We do not charge any other subscription fees or hidden charges. We are incentivized towards the success of the operators.

How do I provide a cryptocurrency float for the machines??

Each operator’s Dashboard has a Bitcoin wallet. Operators can add any bitcoin wallet which provides WIF private key, or use the Dashboard to form a new wallet that will serve the operation. ChainBytes believes in the policy, “Not your keys, not your wallet”, and that’s why with our Dashboard, operators are owners of their wallets and operators are holding their keys. ChainBytes does not hold an operator’s bitcoins or host operator wallets. The wallet added to the Dashboard can be filled like any other wallet (via direct transfer of cryptocurrency).

What initial float do I need for a Bitcoin ATM operation?

The initial float required depends on how many Bitcoins the operator’s machines are selling every day and how many machines they have in operation. We recommend that new operators reserve at least a few days worth of volume in Bitcoin float.

How much fee can i charge on my machines?

ChainBytes does not put any limits on the amount of fees the operators are able to charge. The fee is set up by the operator and can be set on a different amount for each machine. Not all locations are the same, so not all machines will necessarily have the same fees. On average, our operators are charging between 15%-20%.  However, that’s completely up to operators and their business model.

How is the risk of price volatility reduced?

The ChainBytes Dashboard allows operators to connect their exchange account to the Dashboard and use our Automatic Buy Back feature. The Automatic buy-back feature converts fiat to cryptocurrency directly inside the operator’s account on the exchange at the time of the transaction. This reduces volatility risks for an operator. Operators can also choose to run in a standalone mode with no exchange involved.
