After several years of design, engineering, redesign and beta testing, we’re proud (and eager) to introduce our new Sintra family of multi-cryptocurrency ATMs, aka, cryptomats.

At a time when cryptomats are rearing to break out as user-friendly automatic over-the-counter terminals, our new models represent the finest hardware on the market for the task.

The Sintra family includes the Sintra (€7,500 for two-way), Sintra Forte (€8,900 for two-way) and Douro II (€5,200) models, which are all available for order on our shiny new website: https://lamassu.is.

Hardware

The Sintra family models are defined by their sleek all-glass front panels and our ssuboard, a computer board we designed exclusively for our machines. Key features of the ssuboard include a low-heat and low-power ARM processor, battery backup, OS on microSD, on-board 3G and GPS functionality, tamper sensors and alarm, NFC front door control, and a dedicated microprocessor for watchdog services and power management.

So what’s the difference between all of them?

The Sintra is our lighter native two-way cryptomat, a floor standing machine with a small footprint.

The larger Sintra Forte is our heavier two-way which sports a hardened steel vault for the cash machines, electronic vault lock and ssuboard. When fitted with the Kaba Cencon lock, the Sintra Forte vault is supported by leading cash handling services, such as Brinks and Garda.

The Douro II provides our timeless original Douro with a facelift, including an all-glass front panel, a larger screen and our ssuboard computer.

We’ve learned a lot since 2013.

We’ve been dreaming about the Sintra ever since we launched our first cryptomats. The result is a cryptomat that is second-to-none in design, build quality and functionality. Every detail was designed with the first-time user in mind.

The interface of the Sintra was born out of extensive deliberation. The screen, note acceptor and note dispenser lie on a single angled plane. It’s a minimalist design that eliminates any need to reach, bend or stoop when interacting with the machine.

Color coded LEDs light up each step to guide the user to avoid confusion for first time users.

As always, the build quality of our new models is impeccable. All our models are built in northern Portugal with fierce attention to detail, and fabricated of heavy 2.5mm steel to form a robust and durable body.

As the pioneers of this industry, we’ve now had machines in the field for five years. Our quality control and choice of components have kept the machines running day in and day out ever since.

Software

Operators of Lamassu cryptomats host their own servers and wallets. There is no central Lamassu server. The software is free and open source, and we don’t (and can’t) take a cut of operators’ profits. Subscriptions for tech support are available for purchase separately.

Our machines now offer support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Bitcoin Cash, Dash and Litecoin.

Operator’s Administrative Backend

The Lamassu software provides control over choice of coins and setting their individual commissions and fixed fees are performed via the operator’s administrative backend.

With the growing need for regulatory compliance we have built and continue to enable additional compliance tools for operators, such as ID verification, phone number collection, sanctions list screening, terms and conditions, and transactions limits. These are also available on our admin backend.

Other features in the backend include automating exchange repurchasing, enabling notifications, and automatically publishing cryptomat information to CoinATMRadar (when enabled).

Our software is compatible with all Lamassu machines, past and present.
