Introduction

Step 1: Install the Taler wallet

You don't have a wallet installed yet.

Congratulations, you have installed the Taler wallet correctly. You can now proceed with the next steps.

Step 2: Withdraw coins

Now you can withdraw coins into your wallet by going to our bank. In this demo you're paying with KUDOS, an imaginary currency. When you create an account at our bank, you'll get 100 KUDOS for free.

We can't check if you were able to complete this step, since websites can't see the balance in your wallet. Please click on the Taler icon in your browser to check your balance.

Step 3: Pay

• The essay store, where you can pay KUDOS for individual chapters of Richard Stallman's book "Free Software, Free Society", which is also available for free at the FSF.
• The project donation Web site, where you can show respect to a software project of your choice by giving them KUDOS.

Step 4: Check money flow

• Check if people who received your Taler payment got eventually paid by the exchange via a wire transfer; visit the: public accounts page at the bank. Note that only those account whose owners gave permission are showed on that page.

Step 5: Merchant? Consult back-office

• If you are a merchant, you can check the back-office Web-site to see how your Taler transactions got payed back by bank wire transfers.
