Step 3 - Scanning Your Ethereum QR Code
- Tap the machine's touchscreen, then read the on-screen prompt.
- Select cryptocurrency: Ethereum
- In your wallet, find your address' QR code
- Hold it up to the machine's camera; the machine will scan it.
This tells the machine where to send your Ethereum once you've confirmed your purchase.
*ID verification may be required for larger transactions
Step 4 - Purchasing Your Ethereum
- After scanning the QR code, insert your USD bills.
- Confirm the amount on the screen to complete your purchase.
Please note that there will be a service fee, which varies based on the Ethereum market.
Step 5 - Receiving Your Ethereum
Once you've confirmed your purchase, your Ethereum will be sent to the address you provided*.
Transactions are usually instantaneous but may take anywhere between 10–30 minutes, or even 1–2 hours in rare cases**.
* If you are going to send funds to another person, we recommended sending it to your own wallet first—especially if you do not know them personally.
** It is recommended that you wait for at least one confirmation on the Blockchain before spending or sending your purchased funds.
