    It’s an objective improvement over EMV which doesn’t protect privacy at all.

    Taler protect payer privacy while exposing income information. Meaning it can help collect taxes to pay for infrastructure, education, public service, …

    That’s a fine compromise. I hope Taler become a practical alternative to EMV and other shitty payment systems being pushed by banks.
