    139   \begin{itemize}
    140   \item Meta proposed that for Libra/Diem they would ``firewall'' the Facebook profile data
    141     identifying users (KYC) from the transaction data.
    142   \item Only ``authorities'' would be able to link purchases and real-world identities. \pause
    143   \item Few believed this would be adequate, as such ``firewalls'' can be torn down, and
    144     which ``authorities'' would be trusted to assess the link data is a problem with no easy solution.

    162 \begin{frame}{Taler Scalability}
    163 On a {\bf single desktop system}, we measured:
    164 \begin{itemize}
    165 \item {\bf 1k+} withdraws\&deposits/second (client and server doing 2048-bit RSA)
    166 \item {\bf 50k+} import inbound wire transfers per second (to RTGS)
    167 \item {\bf 33k+} transactions aggregated/second
    168 \item {\bf 62k+} export outbound wire transfers per second (to RTGS)
    169 \end{itemize}
    170 {\bf 10k+} transactions using 60 clients, and separate frontend/backend servers
    171 in distributed deployment on Grid5000.
    172 \end{frame}
    173 
    174 
    175 \begin{frame}{Taler Scalability: Open Challenges}
    176 Some say, 10k TPS is enough, but:\footnote{We only had a \EUR{10k} / 6 months EU grant for the Grid5000 experiments.}
    177 \begin{itemize}
    178 \item Is the load generation realistic? 
    179 \item What happens if there is a signficant take-up due to micro-transactions?
    180 \item The experiments do not include adversarial load. What is the worst an attacker can do to performance?
    181 \item Advanced properties were not evaluated:
    182 \begin{itemize}
    183 \item Auditing logic
    184 \item Dynamic reconfiguration of shards
    185 \item Fail-over
    186 \item ...

    193 \begin{frame}{Taler Programmability}
    194 The Taler core system now includes:
    195 \begin{itemize}
    196 \item Contracts with merchant-granted refunds to consumers
    197 \item Coins with age-restrictions set by KYC'ed bank account holders
    198 \item General extension mechansism for contracts to make ``conditional'' payments
    199 \end{itemize} \pause
    200 We would like to add:
    201 \begin{itemize}
    202 \item Currency conversion services (e.g. EUR $\leftrightarrow$ USD $\leftrightarrow$ CHF)
    203 \item Sealed-bid auctions
    204 \item Privacy-preserving loyalty programs for merchants (buy 10, 11th is free, etc.)

    210 Extensive work was done with Dr. Pena to streamline:
    211 \begin{itemize}
    212 \item withdraw, 
    213 \item payment,
    214 \item backup and recovery
    215 \end{itemize}
    216 processes as well as the merchant ``backoffice''.
    217 \pause
    218 
    219 We would like to add:
    220 \begin{itemize}
    221 \item Easy to use P2P payments (pay to e-mail, pay to SMS, pay via NFC/Bluetooth/QR code)
    222 \item Financial assistance (expense analysis, spending limits, buddy notifications)
    223 \end{itemize}
