Keene’s Original Cryptocurrency Vending Machine Gets Major Upgrade

In 2014, Keene’s first Bitcoin Vending Machine launched at what was then a thrift store at 661 Marlboro Rd (Rt. 101 across from Cheshire Oil). The machine is part of the Shire Free Church’s project to spread cryptocurrency in the region. In 2015, the machine was upgraded to the Lamassu brand – an excellent quality unit and a major improvement over the original Skyhook brand – which is long since out-of-business. (Lamassu was originally developed in New Hampshire!)

Now we’re proud to announce another major upgrade. As of today, Route 101 Local Goods will now be home to a top-of-the-line General Bytes brand Cryptocurrency Vending Machine selling both BTC and DASH. (You can check it out on the CoinATMRadar site here.) The new CVM is massive and attractive, with a huge touch screen interface and beautiful color-cycling LED lighting. General Bytes is the top CVM manufacturer in the world today and they’ve really earned that distinction.

Keene has also earned its distinction as a cryptocurrency hotspot, having the longest-operating CVM in the Northeast United States and one of the highest concentrations of cryptocurrency-accepting-businesses-per-capita in the world! For a while, our CVM was the only one northeast of New York City, until the Shire Free Church launched our machine in Manchester in 2016.

In the last several years, people have traveled from across the Northeast United States to use our machine. Its low price in comparison to other BVMs is worth the trip, plus the customer service from its location, Route 101 Local Goods, is unmatched. Store owner Chris Rietmann is a huge cryptocurrency advocate and even gives his customers 5% off any item in the store – if they pay with cryptocurrency – and Rt. 101 accepts a BUNCH of them.

In late 2017, we added DASH (aka “Digital Cash”) to the machine, making it the region’s first Cryptocurrency Vending Machine! In fact, both DASH and BTC are accepted by multiple businesses in the Keene area. More announcements about that will be coming soon, so stay tuned here to the Free Keene blog for the latest on the cryptocurrency evolution happening here in New Hampshire.

By the way, you haven’t seen the last of the Lamassu. It’s still an excellent unit and in great shape after serving customers day-after-day. It’s staying in Keene, but I can’t announce the new location yet. Soon!

Oh joy! I’m thinking that this news is sure to motivate Jacks into lecturing us about “consequences.” My goodness, this is exciting! I can hardly contain myself!

The people (liberal/conservative) will eventually be fed up with footing the bills for criminals. THEN, its on.

When I was a kid we’d go to a farm upstate and we’d take pictures of the pigs wallowing in garbage all the time. How is that illegal?

Another butt hurt activist. He asked for $1,000,000 and got $275,000 Not to mention a lot of that goes to lawyer fees and many other fees.

This is only the first lawsuit of several that are coming against the Manchester police department for the violations of essential rights. The Manchester police have been routinely violating our right to film them. They have been utilizing a variety of tactics to thwart filming and have even retaliated on a number of occasions. They have utilized force, intimidation, and surrounded those filming. They have made bogus arrests both to prevent filing and in retaliation thereof. The Manchester police have declared a war on activists and are completely underestimating our willingness to respond in kind. They have gotten so used… Read more »

Boy am I disappointed, Jacks. You didn’t even once mention “consequences” in that lecture of yours. I’m warning you sweetums, it’d better be in your next post, or you know what!

Much is wrong with this settlement. The settlement of $275,000 dollars is way too low. The original figure should have been higher. The only way to suppress police criminality is for all participants to share in the fiscal responsibility personally/individually not the taxpayer. From the Chief on down to the actual actors. Along with all other appointing authority.

Be interesting to know if there was toys on the porch or in the driveway. Oh hell, lob in a percussion grenade regardless. The same actors will charge you reckless conduct

I think every cop ought to be forced to carry insurance. That way, if they are the fuckups a lot of them are, at a certain point, they won’t be insurable anymore and then they won’t be cops anymore. The way things are now, Officer Billy Bob Badass beats up a few people, gets his hand slapped, “voluntarily resigns”, and goes down to the next township. Wash, rinse, repeat. In the meantime, taxpayers keep paying for their gutless actions. Where I live, we had a cop that lost an assault weapon (luckily a good citizen turned it in), his K9… Read more »
