thinking about ppl's old project at
https://atm.monero.is/
i think its worth to try and "easy" on paper. but security is different things, ppl can just use crowbar to do god's know what to the device and stole the fiat inside it. does anyone know real world example it running 24hour? or they intended to be placed inside lets said cafe... etc?

Freedom wer?
I know that Bitcoin ATMs are already rolled out and installed in many places because scammers on Kitboga often ask their marks to go to a Bitcoin ATM. I think that most of them only allow you to deposit cash to buy BTC, and adhering to those constraints may make engineering an XMR ATM easier. But its probably not as necessary for XMR because fees are much lower, so withdrawing relatively small amounts of cash is more feasible. I don't see why it couldn't work, as long as you didn't try to install it in a black area. I'd even work on a project like that if I had time for it. I don't have time for it.
@UsualCat a good start is design the exterior case to be secure like a normal ATM or a BTC ATM is, ie not able to be broken into with some serious tools and know-how and heavy enough that it couldn't be picked up and carried without effort. I'd love for them to exist, but personally I'd never trust anything looking like those pictured. They look like something from a toy store. Aesthetics are not necessary. Physical security of the machine is.
