GNU Taler v0.10 released
Taxable Anonymous Libre Electronic Reserves
Due to people complaining last time I posted about this: GNU Taler is a privacy preserving payment system, but not a crypto-currency.
It's all good but I wish it was actually used in the wild
I don't think it functions at all currently.
I downloaded the app, there seems to be no way to get any real money into the wallet other than a fake currency for demo purposes.
Makes sense when the version is 0.1 seems to be far off from a production release.
This is interesting, I can see this being a more accessible alternative to crypto. It does reduce the use cases, I can see it being used for cross-border purchases where the product is illegal in the buyers country
