We're happy to announce three projects will be funded to contribute to the TALER secure electronic payment system based on open standards, free software, and advanced cryptography.

The three projects are:
Libre Payments in Ruby, a GNU Taler Integration for ethical trade.
Taler in Liberapay, an implementation of Taler as payment provider in Liberapay.
And Taler OpenAPI specification, a JSON/YAML OpenAPI for key GNU Taler API's.

Oh wow. Integrating #GnuTaler into #LiberaPay would be HUGE! Is $taler developed and stable enough to be used for real, actual payments? Last I checked I thought they were saying it was still beta?

It is operational in Switzerland for Swiss citizens, to pay in Swiss Franc, see taler-ops.ch.

Also, the #NGITaler consortium is working on making it available in Hungary for the Forint, via Magnet Bank, and in Germany for the Euro, via GLSbank, later extending it to the whole of the Eurozone.

Thank you very much for your message Nicolas! One of our core partners in the NGI TALER project is E-Seniors, based in France: eseniors.eu/

We would be delighted to stay in touch with you and more stakeholders in France who may be interested in connecting with our partners and following the progress of our mission.

Would you be interested in joining us on TALER ICH and introducing yourself there?

i think one of the first people to join for adoption is lokavaluto.fr/ they make common tools for local communities who make local currencies. AFAIK they already made an app for payment but they could be interested for a more private solution

I'm sorry to ask dumb questions but if GLSbank provide euros, fine but shouldn't the merchants have to make some adoption steps too? Or will the wallet allow to pay via nfc on any payment terminal?

Hello dear @lutindiscret

Thank you for informing us about lokavaluto.fr/ !

We suggest that you join us on TALER ICH and post your question there! We are building a vibrant community around GNU Taler, bringing together consortium members, grantees, allies, and other stakeholders interested in our work. Sharing and responding to important questions in the forum will also help future visitors who may have similar queries ich.taler.net/ 😀

Not a dumb question at all. Yes, a merchant needs to be able to accept payments with Taler. Right now, there exist a couple of integrations with existing online shop systems such as Pretix, Drupal and WooCommerce, more to come, hopefully (if you have an idea, apply to our open calls! See nlnet.nl/taler/).

For physical shops, merchants can use our PoS software for Android tablets. We expect (well, hope) that at some point vendors of commercial PoS terminals will integrate the protocol.

In both (online and physical) cases, the merchant also needs to either run the GNU Taler merchant backend server themselve, or become a tenant at a service provider that runs that backend for multiple merchants.

F.e. POT (pot.ch), a cooperative of local food suppliers around Zurich, 🇨🇭, is doing the former: it runs a merchant instance for all members in the cooperative, and Swiss customers will soon be able to pay in Swiss Franc via GNU Taler, with taler-ops.ch as payment service provider.

I have already joined Taler Ich. I am curious to know if it will soon be available in France to exchange Taler with Euros as it is necessary for many real world usages.
