GNU Taler to the rescue!
The netherlands are already looking into it: https://www.ngi.eu/ngi-projects/ngi-taler/
The project could be used via paper trail, as far as I understand it.
Haha no, thanks. I really don't understand why Stallman stands behind dystopian statist money.
I think the idea was that you can't hoard anything, and stealing or reusing is harder. But it does make the central management way more powerful than it should be. But it's normal bank standard.
What do you mean with "dystopian statist money"?
Woot! It's been a while since I looked into Taler, but I've long held that we should be using it or something like it for digital transactions. I'd love a browser extension that compensates creators for removing ads, for example, and I think this would be a fantastic way to do it. But having it at a national level is even better!
Yeah, I think so too. It should replace bank transactions completely.
I hope someone posts here when/if they decide to adopt it, because I'd love to hear more details about it.
