 \begin{itemize}
+  \item we design, implement and analyze an efficient byzantine consensus protocol on set structures that allows the optimized implementation of permissioned blockchains
   \item Notion of income transparency, with an instantiation in chaum-style e-cash and proofs
   \item consideration of practical aspects including aborts, network failures, refunds, multi-coin payments, faults from synchronization and their effects on anonymity; showing the necessity of a refresh operation
-  \item we design, implement and analyze an efficient byzantine consensus protocol on set structures that allows the optimized implementation of permissioned blockchains
+  \item seamless/native integration of e-cash into web architecture, discussion of pitfalls / security and privacy problems
+  \item implementation of Taler with performance evaluation
 \end{itemize}
 
 Thesis statement: Permissioned blockchains and income-transparent e-cash can be used to implement a complete (?) payment system that is efficient (?), socially responsible (in the sense of taxes), usable (has practical implementation, web integration, ...) and provides anonymity to customers.
