Even if you accept just 1 confirmation it will take an average of 10 minutes to get it. In this time the cheater could go to another vending machine and then just let the two accounts duke it out for his one payment while he eats two snacks.<br/><br/>The first solution that comes to my mind is a "verified insta-cash: service. You ship them some amount, they verify it within an hour or whatever and give you a card with credits that goes into vending machines and such. Or you could have an account with the vending company. Or you could use some physical currency, we don't necessarily need just one type of money.</div> text/html
