Recurring payments, where some fixed amount is paid on a +regular basis are in theory possible with Taler, but they come with a +few caveats. Specifically, recurring payments can only work if the +Taler wallet is running and online around the desired time. +Furthermore, given their repetitive nature they are linkable, and +could thus be used to deanonymize the user making the recurring +payment, for example by forcing the user offline at the time of the +payment and observing that it does then not happen on time. Finally, +the Taler wallet does not work with credit and thus the user would +have to make sure to carry a sufficient balance for the recurring +payment to be made. Still, they can be useful, and a future version of +the Taler wallet will likely support them. But this is not a feature +that we are targeting for Taler 1.0. at this time</p> +{% endtrans %} + </div> {% endblock body_content %} |
