-<h2>{{ _("How is Taler related to Bitcoin or Blockchains?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-<p>Taler does not require any Blockchain technology, and is
-also not based on proof-of-work or any other distributed consensus
-mechanism.  Instead, Taler is based on blind signatures.
-However, it is theoretically possible to combine Taler with
-peer-to-peer crypto-currencies like Bitcoin.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-{% trans %}
-<p>It would be possible, however, to withdraw coins denominated in
-Bitcoin into a Taler wallet (with an appropriate exchange), which
-would give some benefits over plain Bitcoin, such as instant
-confirmation times.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-<h2>{{ _("Where is the balance in my wallet stored?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-<p>Your wallet stores digital coins and thus ultimately your computer
-holds your balance. The exchange keeps funds matching all unspent
-coins in an escrow bank account.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-<h2>{{ _("What if my wallet is lost?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-<p>Since the digital coins of value in your wallet are anonymized, the
-exchange can not assist you in recovering a lost or stolen wallet.
-Just like with a physical wallet for cash, you are responsible for
-keeping it safe.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-{% trans %}
-<p>The risk of losing a wallet can be mitigated by making backups or
-keeping the balance reasonably low.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-<h2>{{ _("What if my computer is hacked?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-<p>In case of a compromise of one of your devices, an attacker can
-spend coins from your wallet. Checking your balance might reveal
-to you that your device has been compromised.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-<h2>{{ _("Can I send money to my friend with Taler?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-<p>If your friend provides goods or services for you in exchange for a
-payment, they can easily set up a Taler merchant and receive the
-payment in their bank account.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-{% trans %}
-<p>Future versions of the Taler wallet may allow exchanging coins
-among friends directly as well.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("How does Taler handle payments in different currencies?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-<p>Taler wallets can store digital coins corresponding to multiple
-different currencies such as the Euro, US Dollars or Bitcoins.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-{% trans %}
-<p>Taler currently does not offer conversion between currencies.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-<h2>{{ _("How does Taler protect my privacy?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>Your wallet stores digital coins that are <a
-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_signature">blindly
-signed</a> by an exchange.  The use of a blind signature protects your
-privacy as it prevents the exchange from knowing which coin it signed
-for which customer.</p>
-
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("How much does it cost?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>The Taler protocol allows any exchange to set its own fee
-structure, allowing operators to set fees for withdrawing, depositing,
-refreshing or refunding coins.  Operators can also charge fees for
-closing reserves and for (aggregated) wire transfers to merchants.
-Merchants may choose to cover some of the fees customers incur.
-Actual transaction costs are estimated around 0.001 cent/transaction
-(at high transaction rates, amortized over billions of transactions,
-excluding migration costs). Note that this is an early estimate,
-details may depend on hosting and backup requirements from the
-regulator and could thus easily be 10x higher.</p>
-{% endtrans %}

-<h2>{{ _("Does Taler work with international payments?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>Taler's wallet supports multiple currencies, but the system
-currently does not support conversion between currencies.  However,
-in principle an entity that accepts deposits in one currency and
-allows withdrawals in another currency could be created. Still, the
-regulatory hurdles in this case tend to be particularly complex.
-The focus for Taler is on day-to-day payments, so we have no plans
-to support currency conversion in the near future.</p>
-
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("How does Taler relate to the (European) Electronic Money Directive?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>We believe the European Electronic Money Directive provides part
-of the regulatory framework a Taler exchange with coins denominated
-in Euros would have to follow.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("What bank would guarantee the conversion between Taler coins and bank money in regular bank accounts?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>The exchange would be operated by a bank or in cooperation with a bank, and that bank
-would hold the funds in escrow. Note that this bank could be a regular bank or a central
-bank for a centrally banked electronic currency. Regardless, the bank would fall under
-the respective banking regulations establishing a reason why consumers would have faith
-in the conversion from Taler coins into regular bank money.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("To whom would consumers complain to in case of non-conversion or non-compliance?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>Any exchange should be audited by one or more independent auditors.  Merchants and
-consumer wallets will report certain issues automatically to the auditors, but auditors
-may also provide a method for manual submission of issues.  The auditors are expected
-to make their reports available to the respective regulatory authorities, or even
-the general public.</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("Are there any projects already using Taler?") }}</h2>
-{% trans %}
-
-<p>We are aware of several businesses running exploratory projects or having
-developed working prototypes. We are also
-in discussions with several regular banks as well as several central banks
-about the project. That said, there are currently no products in the
-market yet, and we believe this would be premature given the state of
-the project (see also <a href="https://gnunet.org/bugs/">our bugtracker</a>
-for a list of open issues).</p>
-{% endtrans %}
-
-
-<h2>{{ _("Does Taler support recurring payments?") }}</h2>
-
-{% trans %}
-<p>Today, our wallet implementation does not support recurring
-payments. 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>
