- RPRochelle PaulFeb 1, 20255.0The people who run/manage the station the bitcoin machine is in, tho who cannot assist one using the machine as they are not allowed to in any way, are so very nice, I at least, didn’t care. 😉 There was a gentleman managing the station yesterday and I had had to reuse the bitcoin unit many times that on my way out I told him that I could now teach people and he had a good chuckle at that as he had seen my complete frustration. What I am saying is, besides waiting for my receipt is that you chose the right people! My frustration was only because I was nervous, very tired and thoroughly stupid being a newbie to bitcoin but after the fact, it was actually easy lol.I had droppped a $100.00’bill and when I next came in I asked if anyone had found it. The fellow managing the station had and returned it to me. How honest is that!! Can’t beat it anywhere else!! They also have a comfortable padded chair for you to sit in at the machine if needed. The owner pulled it out for me today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Localcoin Bitcoin ATM - Petro Canada
What is Localcoin?
Localcoin is Canada’s largest cryptocurrency ATM network that enables customers to buy cryptocurrency with cash at a physical location. Customers can visit one of our 950+ physical ATMs at our retail locations, composed primarily of convenience stores and gas stations.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, meaning it is not controlled by any government or central bank. Bitcoin can be used to buy goods and services online, and can also be held as an investment. Each Bitcoin is like a computer file that is stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. People can send Bitcoins to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoins to other people. Every single transaction is recorded in a public list called the blockchain.
What is a Bitcoin ATM?
A Bitcoin ATM is a machine that enables users to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using cash. It functions similarly to a traditional ATM, enabling users to deposit cash and receive Bitcoin in their wallet, or sell bitcoin and receive cash.
How do I use a Bitcoin ATM?
Step 1: Get a Bitcoin Wallet:
We recommend the following easy-to-use Bitcoin wallets downloadable from your app store: Trust Wallet, Exodus or Coinbase Wallet
You'll need to take this wallet (or a printed QR code) with you, to the machine.
Step 2: Visit a Localcoin Bitcoin ATM
All you need is your wallet’s address, QR code and cash!
Step 3: At the Machine
a. Tap the machine's touchscreen, then read the on-screen prompt.
b. Select your desired cryptocurrency. (Bitcoin, Ethereum, LTC, etc.)
c. In your wallet, find the QR code. This tells the machine where to send your Bitcoin once you've confirmed your purchase.
d. Hold it up to the machine's camera and wait for it to be scanned.
Step 4: Purchasing Your Bitcoins
a. After scanning the QR code, insert your CAD bills.
b. Confirm the amount on the screen to complete your purchase.

What is a Bitcoin/Crypto Wallet and how do I get one?
A crypto wallet is a necessary part of holding and transacting crypto coins. To send or receive any kind of coin, you’ll need a secure wallet that’s just for cryptocurrency. These specialized wallets:
