-            systems are compromised and private keys are stolen.  Databases

-            of compromised systems or the demonstration that participants were
-            honest. Actual transaction costs are fractions of a cent.

-            The scalable business model for Taler is the operation
-            of the payment service provider, which converts money from
-            traditional payment systems (MasterCard, SEPA, UPI,
-            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 exchange.  The
-            exchange charges fees to facilitate the transactions.
