Security

-

.

+

Taler is the electronic equivalent of cash, except harder to fake. + If your digital wallet is lost -- say because + your computer is irreparably damaged or compromised -- only the amount of coin + stored in your wallet will be lost. Unlike a physical wallet, you can make + backups of your digital wallet which can provide security against data loss. + So your digital wallet works mostly just like + a physical wallet, except online and without the need to manually count coins.

Privacy

-

.

+

Your transactions are private, neither the mint (bank) nor merchant needs to + learn your identity. There is no need to give our credit card numbers or + other sensitive information, and the merchant will only be able to do + exactly the transaction you confirmed using your digital wallet.

Convenience

-

.

+

You will be able to withdraw digital coins to replenish your wallet using + your credit card or SEPA transactions, similar to how you pay or withdraw + cash today.

Stability

-

.

+

Coins in your digital wallet will be of the same denomination as the + cash in your physical wallet. So you will not have to worry about + currency fluctuations or conversion rates. Like a physical wallet, + you can carry digital coins of different currencies in your digital + wallet at the same time.
