The times I've used a BTM (it's been a while) the machine gave me a paperwallet with a private key on it. Printed it out. Then I paid in cash... then later, maybe a half-hour later the funds were sent.

I swept the private key and had the funds, the end. It sounds like in your case the machine actually scanned an address you provided? So you showed the machine a QR code from a phone?

Yes, that's what I did. I just took a pic of a QR code and took that.

Looks like they have increased ID verification now: https://coinatmradar.com/bitcoin_atm/11952/bitcoin-atm-general-bytes-vienna-bobby-klik/

I looked up a random one (Milan Italy) "For purchases up to €250 (Lightning up to €50), the name must be entered on the display. Higher amounts will require one-time verification using government-issued photo ID."

That is not acceptable.

Looks like maybe the EU is cracking down on the "means of exit" as Lagarde would say.

What an outrageous situation. It cannot be like this everywhere in Europe. Have you ever tried the Vexyl app?
