Thanks for writing up your thoughts on these great features… All of them sound good to me. Some additional thoughts below. > - **Delayed closing** > Rather than closing the dispenser immediately, all dispenser closing are delayed by 5-10 blocks to prevent a dispenser operator from closing a dispenser with a high fee after buyer sends funds. I support this idea, but I propose a tweak to this, which is that we only delay closing the dispenser if there is a pending dispense. This would solve the problem of dispenser operators closing dispensers with a pending dispense, but also allow dispenser operators to close their dispenser immediately if there is no pending txs (BTC incoming) to the dispenser address. Thoughts? I too have been thinking about various features that we could add to the dispensers to make them more usable in various cases. Here are some of my thoughts on additional dispenser upgrades… - **Use/Reuse any bitcoin address as a dispenser** Currently Counterparty only allows opening of new dispensers on a different address if that address is a fresh/empty addresses with no transaction history. - **Allow dispensers to sell ‘packs’ of cards** Currently Counterparty dispensers only sell one card at a time, and to sell multiple cards at the same time, you need to setup multiple dispensers on the same address. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.counterparty.io/t/cip21-dispensers/5488)._
