+      GNU Taler (<em>Taxable Anonymous Libre Electronic Resources</em>) 
+      is a new secure electronic payment system based on open standards, free software, and world class cryptography.
+      <br>The TALER consortium aims to make GNU Taler available to the European public as a 
+      commercial payment system. GNU Taler provides privacy guarantees to the buyer, and auditing capacity to tax authorities, 
+      making sales transparent and fraud difficult. To online merchants and retailers, GNU Taler lowers transaction costs significantly 
+      compared to existing payment systems as well as it supports immediate transaction clearance. Consumers can withdraw money from 
+      their existing bank account into their GNU Taler wallet, detaching their spending habits from scrutiny, in the way cash does.
