Demonetisation Drives Innovation: Now A Website To Know If Nearby ATMs Have Cash Or Not

Demonetisation Drives Innovation: Now A Website To Know If Nearby ATMs Have Cash Or Not
It has been a week since PM Narendra Modi’s drive on curbing black money in India was launched. While the money launderers are busy finding loopholes in the decision, the ‘aam janta’ is lingering for cash around ATMs in the city.
With over 200 people standing in a queue at a time, they are not even sure whether the ATMs have enough money. But as they say, necessity is the mother of invention, Manjunath Talwar and Abhijit Khasnis, have come up with an online portal, CashNoCash – to determine if a nearby bank or ATM has cash available or not.
The website allows a user to search the nearest ATMs based on their current location. Also, one can create alerts to send notifications when the ATMs gets refilled by cash
As Manjunath shared with Inc42, “CashNoCash.com is a free service that allows you to find nearest cash points, their availability and waiting times. The status data is crowdsourced, so you can even contribute to the knowledge base. The initiative is supported by Nasscom and Quikr.”
Abhijit further added, “The scale of problem is humongous. The government and financial institutions are doing everything they can. This is our team’s effort to help the cause by using technology and knowledge of the crowd.”
The sudden demonetisation, despite being a move called upon by ‘need of the hour,’ has been termed by the masses as a silent assault by the PM. The decision has raised difficulties majorly for those who are technological novices and until now believed in cash payments only. However, initiatives like these will definitely help to reduce some bit of this chaos.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network service that enables host computers to be automatically assigned settings from a server as opposed to manually configuring each network host. Computers configured to be DHCP clients have no control over the settings they receive from the DHCP server, and the configuration is transparent to the computer's user. The most common settings provided by a DHCP server to DHCP clients include: IP address and netmask IP address of the default-gateway to use IP adresses of the DNS servers to use However, a DHCP server can also supply configuration properties such as: Host Name Domain Name Time Server Print Server The advantage of using DHCP is that changes to the network, for example a change in the address of the DNS server, need only be changed at the DHCP server, and all network hosts will be reconfigured the next time their DHCP clients poll the DHCP server. As an added advantage, it is also ...
