GNU Taler

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. 💚

Privacy-first payments are here. Not theory. Not slides. Not hype. Just working.
#Switzerland is leading the way. @Lioh@social.anoxinon.de

A paper from an Austrian Central Bank economist worth reading: "Privacy by Design for Public Digital Money" by Martin Summer.
The framing says it all: privacy in payments is dismissed as a niche concern, but that fundamentally underestimates what is at stake.
When central bankers start writing this, the conversation is shifting.

Cash is private. Your digital payments aren't...yet.
Christian Grothoff joined Nym's Alexis Roussel to talk about fixing that.

RE: @NGI_TALER@ps.s10y.eu

How dependent is Europe on US tech giants for core digital infrastructure like the Digital Euro?
In Das Parlament, Prof. Christian Grothoff warns:
🛑 As long as it’s built on proprietary tech digital sovereignty remains an illusion.
✅ The answer? Critical public infrastructure must be built on Free Software.

💬 Digital cash without privacy is meaningless. If money moves digitally but your data is exposed, we haven’t gained freedom; we’ve only traded paper trails for digital footprints.

Let’s talk about payment freedom and real choice. App developers shouldn’t be forced to choose Apple Pay or an alternative—why not both?
Real freedom means letting users decide how to pay.
We think there’s a better way...
