+ <p lang="en">Customers interact with the Taler system mostly using
+ a free wallet implementation, which may be an extension or plugin
+ to their browser or a custom application on their computer(s).
+ Typical steps performed by customers are:

+ <p lang="de" note="outdated"></p>

+ <p lang="it" note="outdated"></p>

+ <ol>
+ <li lang="en">The customer selects a mint (i.e. by visiting the
+ respective website or selecting from a list of mints in the
+ application) and asks the wallet to create bank transfer
+ instructions to withdraw a certain amount of electronic cash.
+ The bank transfer instructions will contain an
+ access code that must be included in the subject of the
+ transaction, as well as the wire details for the mint (i.e.
+ a SEPA account number).</li>
+ <li lang="de" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="fr" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="it" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="en">The customer then instructs his <b>bank</b> to
+ transfer funds from his account to the Taler mint using
+ these instructions provided by the wallet (top left).</li>
+ <li lang="de" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="fr" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="it" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="en">Once the funds have arrived, the wallet will
+ automatically withdraw the electronic coins. The
+ customer can use the wallet to review his remaining balance
+ at any time. He can also make backups to secure his digital
+ coins against hardware failures.</li>
+ <li lang="de" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="fr" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="it" note="outdated"></li>
+ <li lang="en">When visiting a merchant that supports Taler,
+ a new payment option is available in the checkout system.
+ If the customer selects payments via Taler, the wallet
+ displays the secured contract from the merchant and asks
+ for confirmation. Taler does not require the customer
+ to provide any identity information to the merchant.
+ Transaction histories and digitally
+ signed contracts can be preserved in the wallet for future
+ review by the customer, or even use in court.</li>
