You did indeed. Couple of issues with Taler. First, it doesn't show up on Google. You have to know that it's "GNU Taler". Sure, RMS would probably argue that's a feature not a bug, but it's something of a barrier to awareness. Second, release notes from this June [1] paraphrase thusly: > This is still an alpha release > * Exchange implements the full Taler protocol, but does not integrate with > traditional banking systems > * No integration with "real" banks, so only toy currencies are available for > now. > * Documentation, testing, error handling and performance still need to be > improved. That has NOPE NOPE NOPE written all over it for me, I'm afraid. I'm sure it's very clever, but until one of the release notes says "You can now safely transfer funds from one bank to another", I'll stick with established options (which include BTC, just not for spot forex xfers). -J [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2017-06/msg00005.html -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
