Thus, running a Taler mint should be profitable even + with very low (less than 1 cent) transaction fees (at appropriate + transaction volume).</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4"> <h2>Secure</h2> - <p>.</p> + <p>All transactions in Taler are secured using modern cryptography and + trust in all parties is minimized. Financial damage is bounded + (for customers, merchants and the mint) even + in the case that systems are compromised and private keys are stolen. + Databases can be audited for consistency, resulting in either the + detection of compromised systems or the demonstration that + participants were honest.</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4"> <h2>Business Model</h2> - <p>.</p> + <p>The basic business model for Taler is the operation of a mint. A + mint converts money from traditional payment systems (Mastercard, + SEPA, Visa, BitCoin, ACH, SWIFT, etc.) to anonymous electronic + coins in the same currency. The customer can then redeem the electronic + coins at a merchant, who can exchange them for money represented using + traditional payment systems at the mint. The mint can then charge + fees (to the customer, merchant or both) to facilitate the transactions.</p> </div> </div> <!--# include file="common/footer.inc" --> |
