Additionally, GNU Taler's design offers real-time external + auditing of the payment service provider by independent third parties based on cryptographic signatures covering + all processes in the entire payment system, thus creating a milestone in accountability." + - title: Ensure GNU Taler is accepted as a payment solution by European retailers + text: "We will provide merchants with an open payment standard with lower prices. End-consumers will enjoy improved + shopping experience and preservation of personal data. Besides these two benefits, merchants can better protect their + market expertise and shield it from potential competitors by avoiding competitor platforms which abuse their knowledge + and/or data. We will integrate GNU Taler into the diverse work-flows of a multitude of businesses through open calls' + integration and other interested parties." + - title: Improve the technical maturity of the GNU Taler software + text: "We will perform security reviews of key components of the GNU Taler system and then ensure that relevant components + are available for Windows, MacOS and various GNU/Linux distributions. We will automate packaging for these platforms and port + the WebExtension to additional browsers. We will furthermore implement various additional features that were already requested + by community members (citizens or retailers). For example, a publisher wants to offer a discount on a subscription to readers + that recently purchased individual articles. Part of this objective is to address such requests, including new ideas that are + proposed during the project." + - title: Raise the awareness for the project in the general public + text: "With GNU Taler, citizens will experience a much higher online shopping convenience, especially for low-valued items like + digital goods. To pay with GNU Taler, they will need no registration, no log-in, and no complicated multi-factor authentication + over multiple devices — just one simple click for the young and the old. Citizens will also experience improved privacy online. + This may especially feel good while supporting (investigative) journalism. Less tracking for advertising, fewer account-based payments, + less phishing, less identity theft — all predicated on GNU Taler enabling micro-payments with better privacy — will improve online security. + We will explain these advantages to citizens, using various large-scale communication channels in existence." |
