BitAccess customers can now purchase bitcoin using a Flexepin  
voucher. Available in 6,000 Canadian retail locations, Flexepin can be  
bought using cash or a debit card.

Buying a Flexepin Bitcoin voucher is like purchasing a gift card. It  
is bought from a store cashier. Once the purchase is made, a voucher is  
provided in the form of a receipt. In 60 seconds, the receipt can then  
be redeemed for the cash equivalent of bitcoin.

Sure. But:

1. It only works in Canada
2. You get slugged twice. First for the Flexepin voucher, then for the exchange fees and margin at the BTM.
3. Transactions are limited unless you supply ID.
4. Do you _really_ want to use a device with a built in camera and fingerprint scanner?

We have shitty methods of getting bitcoin in Australia too. I can buy them at any newsagent if I’m willing to sell my soul to the devil.

Honestly, some of you guys need to grow a brain.

@ateoffofbitcoin How about not opening dozens of topics about alternative payment methods without first doing the basic research. And btw I don’t need to justify my contributions to the project to you.
