This will enable wallets to make wallet-to-wallet payments to distant wallets where the target user is only identified by their address in a messaging service. Examples for messaging services include E-mail and SMS. 14 <p> 15 <h4>The Taler Mailbox service</h4> 16 <p> 17 The Taler Mailbox allows Taler wallets to securely send push and pull payment requests to other wallets without having to interact with the respective messaging service. 18 </p> 19 <h4>Download links</h4> 20 <p> 21 Both services are distributed via the GNU FTP mirrors: 22 </p> 23 <ul> 24 <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taldir-1.0.5.tar.gz">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taldir-1.0.5.tar.gz</a></li> 25 <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taldir-1.0.5.tar.gz.sig">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taldir-1.0.5.tar.gz.sig</a></li> 26 <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taler-mailbox-1.0.0.tar.gz">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taler-mailbox-1.0.0.tar.gz</a></li> 27 <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taler-mailbox-1.0.0.tar.gz.sig">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/taler/taler-mailbox-1.0.0.tar.gz.sig</a></li> 28 </ul> 29 <p> 30 <p> 31 This work is funded through <a href="https://nlnet.nl/taler">NGI TALER Fund</a>, a fund established by <a href="https://nlnet.nl">NLnet</a> with financial support from the European Commission's <a href="https://ngi.eu">Next Generation Internet</a> program. 32 Learn more at the <a href="https://nlnet.nl/project/TALER-LookupService">NLnet project page</a>. 33 </p> 34 {% endblock body_content %}
