+    Taler cannot cryptographically prove the {\bf timing} of

+  \begin{block}{What can Taler do for Blockchains?}
+    Blockchains have inherently high transaction {\bf costs} and little
+    {\bf privacy}.  Taler can operate as a {\bf side-chain}, providing
+    enhanced privacy and {\bf performance} for crypto currencies.
