     73                      The process is complicated, takes a long time to complete and
     74                      can refuse valid payment requests with obscure errors.
     75 
     76                      As a result, cryptographers write short papers with titles like:

    124  \note<2>{Any technology deployed by European banks also needs to
    125    be compliant with applicable regulation, such as anti-money laundering
    126    and know-your-customer rules.}
    127 \note<3>{Foreign technological providers will use their established
    128   brands and platforms to both ignore regulations (see ``safe harbor'')
    129   and to enthrall customers with payment solutions that exploit the
    130   ``trusted'' platform.  Amazon can offer one-click payments today,
    131   but smaller business cannot.
    132 
    133   Eventually, these providers will obtain banking licenses.
    134 
    135   The day Google attaches a bank account to every Gmail account
    136   offering one-click payments via all Android devices and free
    137   personal banking will be the beginning of the
    138   end of European banking (and economic/political independence).}
    139 \note<4>{European competitors fail to be global, and are technologically
    140   and economically disadvantaged compared to the global brands.  They
    141   also are decades behind the technical state of the art. Cryptographers
    142   (or CCC hackers) will write more papers.
    143 
    144   Some banks will continue to follow the blockchain meme, ignoring
    145   performance, scalability, compliance or usability concerns.
    146 
    147   (Blockchains are P2P protocols implementing Byzantine consensus
    148    using computationally expensive puzzles for leader election.
    149    Our research team has worked on secure P2P protocols for over
    150    15 years and published papers on Byzantine consensus in 2016.
    151    While we are thus subject-experts, Taler does aggregation at the payment provider,
    152    thus rarely needs multi-party consensus and simply relies on
    153    traditional wire transfers (including possibly Bitcoin) to
    154    settle in aggregate.)}
    155 \note<5>{Once the EU's general data protection regulation mandating
    156   privacy-by-design and data minimization is enforce, all of these
    157   providers will be out of compliance, as none implement strict data
    158   minimization or privacy-by-default.
    159 
    160   Non-EU providers will continue their quest for dominance and
    161   operate extra-legally, extra-teritorially if necessary, ready
    162   to take over the market once regulation allows it.}
