How to Sell Bitcoins:

2) Go to the Bitcoin ATM
3) Enter your phone number
The ATM will ask you to enter a phone number OR scan a government-issued ID (e.g. driver’s license), make a selection. If you choose to enter your phone number, you will receive a text message with a code, enter that code into the machine when prompted.
4) Choose how much Bitcoin you want to sell
You can sell any amount between $20 and $2,980 per day.
5) Send Bitcoins to the ATM
You will be presented with a QR code where you will send the coins, as well as the exact amount to send. To send the coins, open up your wallet app (e.g. Mycelium or Edge, etc) and choose “Send” and then “Scan QR code.” Now use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code displayed on the ATM screen. The amount of coins to send will automatically be filled in by your wallet app.
6) Collect you cash!
Small Amounts: For small transactions the cash is immediately dispensed. Congrats, you’re all done!
Large Amounts: For large transactions the ATM will wait for one Bitcoin network confirmation before cash is dispensed. There is no need to wait by the ATM, you will receive a text message with a "Redemption code" when your cash is ready to be picked up. This typically takes about 10 minutes. After receiving the text message, return to the ATM, choose “Redeem” and enter the Redemption code you just received. Your cash will be dispensed, you're all done!
