I had a similarly poor experience[1]. Many people are retorting that you have to go through this process with all financial institutions. To those, I say you're missing the point. We still have to answer a lot of questions regarding regulation around cryptocurrencies, but part of the allure is that you shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to use bitcoin. Furthermore, the first (and only) time I dropped by the bitcoin markup was astronomical.

It's naive to think we'll resolve this overnight, but until then there's no point to using a robocoin ATM.
