Let's see how our team is making this happen, and how far we are along the way.
The theory and cryptography behind Taler is completely worked out. Our team
has members at well-known research institutions in France and Germany. All
the protocols we use are documented in an open standard.
-Many in the privacy and network security community support our project, and Dr.
-Richard Stallman, founder of the free software foundation, actively promotes it.

We have prototypes of the core components of the systems, and we are in
discussions with various hardware design companies building NFC devices and
also point-of-sale system vendors.

-journalists, who urgently need something like Taler, will help us to gain the
-critical mass for wide adoption.

Our business would receive fees for operating components of the system, as well
as offer support for integration into online/offline stores.
