+\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
+
+The book is based on Florian Dold's PhD thesis. We have removed the parts that
+are not crucial for GNU Taler. Also, unlike the thesis, the GNU Taler project
+continues to be updated, so this books is expected to be kept up-to-date with
+the latest developments. Nevertheless, Florian Dold's contribution to the
+text remains fundamental.
+
+We would like to thank Moritz Bartl for helping with the funding for Florian's
+thesis and GNU Taler in general. Bruno Haible provided generous support for
+the GNU Taler team to visit meetings of the W3C's Web Payment Working Group.
+We also thank Ashoka, the Tor project and the Donaukurier for their support.
+
+This work benefits from the financial support of the Brittany Region (ARED
+9174) and the Renewable Freedom Foundation (RFF).
+
+We thank the Bern University of Applied Sciences for continuing to host the
+GNU Taler servers.
+
+We thank to Cristina Onete and Jeff Burdges for their collaboration on the
+provable security of GNU Taler.
+
+We are grateful to the GNU project, in particular Richard Stallman, for their
+support of this project. We also thank all GNUnet developers and GNU Guix
+developers, especially Hartmut Goebel, Nils Gillmann, Gabor Toth, Ludovic
+Courtès and Andreas Enge.
