A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Now go read the FAQ and reconsider posting that in a Privacy community.
What is the problem exactly?
The expiration date on the money and p2p fund transfers requiring an intermediary and an ID.
It's a payment system, not money.
afaik the expiration just puts the unspent amount back to your bank account (because you still need one with taler), so that can be an advantage if you lost your wallet.
but that other point is very concerning. what's the point then?
It's likely an alternative to blik or internal revolut/n26/cashapp transfers. And in that regard it's an improvement because of its openness. But privacy is not one of the reasons to use it.
