 \begin{frame}{What is Taler?}
   \framesubtitle{\url{https://taler.net/en/features.html}}  \noindent
 Taler is
   \vfill
   \begin{itemize}
     \item a Free/Libre software \emph{payment system} infrastructure project
     \item ... with a surrounding software ecosystem
     \item ... and a company (Taler Systems S.A.) and community that wants to deploy it
       as widely as possible.
   \end{itemize}
   \vfill
 \noindent
  However, Taler is
   \begin{itemize}
     \item \emph{not} a currency or speculative asset
     \item \emph{not} a long-term store of value
     \item \emph{not} a network or instance of a system
     \item \emph{not} based on proof-of-work or proof-of-stake
   \end{itemize}
 \end{frame}
 
 
 \begin{frame}{Design principles}
   \framesubtitle{https://taler.net/en/principles.html}
 GNU Taler must ...
 \begin{enumerate}
   \item {... be implemented as {\bf free software}.}
   \item {... protect the {\bf privacy of buyers}.}
   \item {... enable the state to {\bf tax income} and crack down on
     illegal business activities.}
 \end{enumerate}
 \vfill
 \begin{center}
   Donors can be {\bf anonymous}. They do get {\bf receipts}.
 \end{center}
 \vfill
 $\Rightarrow$ Supports Privacy-by-Design compliance for donation flows.

 \begin{frame}{Current ICRC Donation Setup}
 \begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
   \begin{itemize}
   \item ICRC's {\em Rules on Personal Data Protection} require
     Data Protection by Design and by Default
   \item Every data point collected during donations adds
     exposure and compliance work.
   \item Reducing donor data entry increases chances donor
     will complete the process.
   \end{itemize}

 \begin{frame}{Idea: Privacy-Friendly Donation Pilot}
 \begin{itemize}
   \item Add an optional ``Privacy-friendly donation'' button (CHF only).
   \item Enable donors to give without sharing personal data.
   \item No cryptocurrency or blockchain --- purely a privacy-focused payment system.
   \item Available in Switzerland with zero transaction fees until end 2026.
 \end{itemize}
 \end{frame}
 
 
 \begin{frame}{Expected Outcomes}
 \begin{itemize}
   \item {\bf Donor data handled}: reduced to zero in the payment step
   \item {\bf Compliance effort}: simplified % (fewer data processors, less internal handling)
   \item {\bf Risk exposure}: lower in case of data incidents or vendor issues
   \item {\bf Donor perception}: positive feedback on privacy-friendly option
 \end{itemize}

     \item Objective: {\bf Deploy GNU Taler in Europe}
  \end{itemize}
 \vfill
   \begin{description}
     \item[Q2'2025] {\bf Deployment of eCHF in Switzerland}, cleared by FINMA
     \item[Q4'2025] Magnet bank launches in Hungary
     \item[Q2'2026] GLS bank launches in Eurozone
   \end{description}
 \end{frame}
 
 
 \begin{frame}{How to Integrate?}
  \begin{enumerate}
     \item {\tt apt install taler-merchant} \& TLS setup
     \item Setup credentials (username, password, MFA if desired)
     \item Add bank account (IBAN)
     \item Wire CHF 0.01 from bank account to TOPS with specific subject to prove control
     \item Create template (``donation'')
     \item Add QR code image to public web site
     \item If transactions exceed CHF 2500/month: additional legitimization required
  \end{enumerate}
