Taler does not use a blockchain: monetary policies are expected to +be set by a central bank. Digital money can be issued either by commercial +banks or by the central bank. Paying with Taler is extremely efficient: +customers authorize transactions with one click, and then the system takes +only a few milliseconds to finalize the transactions. In this lecture, we will +introduce the political goals, architecture and technology behind Taler, +demonstrate the current state of development and outline likely future +developments.
