- Throttled political donations where each individual is only allowed to
donate anonymously up to a certain amount per year or election cycle.
+ - Unlinkable gifts -- enabling the purchase of digital goods (such as
+ articles, albums, etc.) to be consumed by a third party. For example, a
+ newspaper subscription may include a fixed number of articles that can be
+ gifted to others each week, all while maintaining unlinkability and
+ anonymity between the giver and the recipient.
+
+ - Temporally-constrained, unlinkable event ticketing. Allowing visitors to
+ use Taler to purchase a ticket for an event. This ticket grants entry and
+ exit privileges to the event location during a specified time window, while
+ preserving the anonymity of the ticket holder (within the group of all the
+ ticket holders).
+
+ - Event deposit systems. A deposit mechanism for events where customers
+ receive a token alongside their cup or plate, which they are expected to
+ return. This system validates that the cup or plate was legitimately
+ acquired (i.e., not brought from home or stolen from a stack of dirty items)
+ and incentivizes return after use.

TODO: add more use-cases here!
