NFT Vending Machines

A physical vending machine concept that lets people win NFTs instead of traditional prizes, merging real-world arcade experiences with digital assets.

Key Points:

  • Core Concept:

    • Replace traditional arcade prize machines with NFT-dispensing machines
    • Users pay with cryptocurrency (proposed: Dogecoin) to play
    • Win digital assets like NFTs instead of physical prizes
  • Technical Requirements:

    • Need instant payment solution (like Apple Pay)
    • QR code integration for mobile gameplay
    • Digital wallet connection for NFT delivery
  • Implementation Options:

    • Physical Vending Machine:
      • Traditional arcade-style machine with screen
      • Digital prize display
    • Mobile Alternative:
      • QR code-based system
      • Use customer's phone as interface
      • Eliminates need for physical machine
  • Key Challenge:

    • Payment friction - most people don't hold Dogecoin
    • Need instant crypto purchase capability
    • Must simplify payment process
  • Target Location:

    • Restaurants (like Applebee's)
    • Places where traditional arcade machines exist
    • Areas with high foot traffic

The concept aims to bridge real-life experiences with crypto/NFT technology in physical locations where people already engage with arcade-style games.
