Yesterday, I had the pleasure and privilege to give a not-so-gentle introduction into #Taler, at #cedarcrypt in Pafos, Cyprus, in front of a mixed audience full of fine students of cryptography from the American University of Beirut and experts from various fields.

I talked about the why and how of #Taler, starting with the moral foundation of our work, then introducing the core protocols and the required cryptographic primitives, the challenges of anti-money-laundering, up to our recent work to make #Taler post-quantum-ready. (You can find the presentation online at kesim.org/cedarcrypt-2026. Shout-out to Elisa Pioldi from TU Eindhoven who made the helpful and amazing animations!)

The questions and discussions that followed my presentation were so good! I really am proud of having sparked so much interest in #Taler - in an audience that also included Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum) and Daira-Emma Hopwood (Zcash).

#cedarcrypt rocks. #GNUtaler, too.





My integration of #GNUTaler with #Tryton/#GNUHealth is done (for quite some time now).

I developed a Tryton module which would allows users to integrate payments with Taler into their webshops, businesses.

This includes the users of GNU Health (which is built on Tryton) and which provides libre alternatives for Hospital Management software, Health Information Systems and Electronic Health Records.

You can check out the respective module from pypi.org/project/trytoncommuni… .

Kann mir mal jemand erklären, wie die #Taler-App es schafft, dass man auf #GrapheneOS per #NFC bezahlen kann, während es für andere #Wallet-Apps für Kreditkarten nicht funktioniert?

(Google Play Services sind NICHT installiert.)

One of the many reasons I'm proud to work on the #Taler digital payment system is that we focus on the needs of citizens. And as digitization continues, also how we pay, it is important to make digital payment systems inclusive for those who have difficulty when dealing with numbers.

Christian Grothoff has something to say about how we test ways to make a digital wallet as accessible as possible.

Hey friends! 🌍
TU Dresden's Mikolai Gütschow is pushing #GNUTaler → privacy-first payments on real fiat currencies 🇨🇭.
✅ Anonymous for buyers (like cash)
✅ Merchants identifiable for taxes
✅ 25% of CCC Dresden revenue paid with it!
✅ No crypto → real money, real privacy
US sanctions on ICC judges show exactly why Europe needs payment independence. GNU Taler could change that.
Financial sovereignty now. 💚

Eine Bank, die mich zum Anlegen eines Google- (oder Apple-) Accounts - samt nicht deaktivierbarem Tracking meiner Nutzungsgewohnheiten, Standort und WLANs - nötigt, bekommt mein Vertrauen nicht.

Ich hoffe zwar auch noch auf #Taler
gls.de/taler/, allerdings hat @glsbank letztes Jahr - entgegen der Ankündigung - weder einen "öffentlichen Piloten" getestet, noch "eine größere Öffentlichkeit" angesprochen. …

Schade.



Toll. Danke an die Community! Ich habe noch was gelernt!

Bei Wero gehe ich nicht mit (Amazon-Server; bislang keine Internet-Bezahlfunktion). Aber Hauptsache kein PayPal. Warten wir auf den GNU #Taler.

Firefox & gmx.de finde ich ebenfalls kritisch.

Bei Mail-App-Alternativen fehlt mir #FairEmail.

Vorn fehlt Posteo bei der Möglichkeit, Termine und Kontakte zu synchronisieren.

Statt Signal-App vielleicht lieber #Molly empfehlen?

Or, a parent giving money to their child.


On a tangent: #Taler not only supports P2P payments, but offers a privacy-preserving mechanism for age-restriction, built-in into the coins, as well.

Parents can give their children coins that are usable only for items up to - say - 12. The proof of the requirement doesn't reveal the actual age of the payer.

See our paper: taler.net/papers/esorics2022-a…


The general rule in #Taler is: who pays is guaranteed to stay anonymous and who receives is guaranteed to be known to the exchange. This is true for normal payments and also for P2P payments.

Because legally, receiving money is a form of income, potentially taxable, the exchange requires a KYC process performed once by the receiver of the money.

In Switzerland, the KYC process with taler-ops.ch only involves a Swiss mobile phone number, able to receive a code.



AFAICT, Taler doesn't seem to be designed for gifting people money.

Such as, someone giving money to their friend.
Or, a husband or wife giving money to their spouse.
Or, a parent giving money to their child.
Etc.

🇬🇧 It has been a long journey, and I am happy to let you know that you can now get access to Icefun, my Linux distribution especially tailored for Kids, using Taler.

🇩🇪 Es war eine lange Reise, und ich freue mich, euch mitteilen zu dürfen, dass ihr Icefun, meine Linux-Distribution, die ich unter didaktischen Aspekten für Kinder entwickelt habe, nun auch mit Taler beziehen könnt.

Ich begrüße den Versuch, eine Alternative zu #PayPal zu schaffen. #Wero ist allerdings (noch) nicht tauglich.

Der @glsbank muss man danken, dass sie sich für Besseres einsetzen: Den GNU #Taler (taler.net), s. gls.de/gls-bank/aktuelles/pres…

Das sollten wir als Verbraucher unterstützen: drängeln/quengeln, Interesse zeigen, Geduld üben,... und dann nutzen, nutzen, nutzen... und bei unseren Lieblingshändlern als Bezahlmöglichkeit verlangen!

Die #taler Geschichte in der Schweiz zieht weitere Kreise.
pot.ch/pot-und-das-digitale-be… bietet jetzt seinen Koops an das Taler-Bezahlsystem zu nutzen. Damit hat Taler einen wichtigen Multiplikator gewonnen mit potenziell vielen weiteren Standorten in der #schweiz
#new2taler #GNU_Taler #goodnews





Kann auch per GNU #taler gespendet werden?




Meet bostry.ch/ in Biel, the very first bookshop in the world to accept payments via #Taler in a fiat currency, Swiss Francs!

If you are a Swiss citizen, you can go and buy your favorite books there and pay anonymously using Taler, operated by taler-ops.ch.

Maybe pick a book from their fine selection about anarchism; which is quite appropriate as Bakunin also had chosen the area around Biel and Bern for his final years - he was attracted by the anarchic-syndicalist organization of the watch makers there, back in the late 1800s.

I guess it is only a question of time until one can buy a Rolex (also in Biel) with Taler, too.
