<h1>{{ _("Independent One-Click Payments!") }}</h1>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler is an electronic payment system under
development
at <a href="http://www.inria.fr/">Inria</a>. We expect to make it operational in 2017.
Meanwhile you can learn about Taler on this website, try the <a href="https://demo.taler.net\">demo</a>
and look at our <a href="https://docs.taler.net\">developer</a> and <a href="https://api.taler.net">API</a> documentation.

<h2>Design goals of Taler</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Taxable") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
When using Taler, merchants can't hide their income from tax
collection authorities. Unlike cash and most digital currencies,
Taler helps preventing black markets.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Privacy-friendly") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
When you pay with Taler, your identity does not
have to be revealed to the merchant. Just like
payments in cash, nobody else can track how you
spent your electronic money. However, you obtain a
legally valid proof of payment.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Libre") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler provides protocols and reference implementations that in
principle enables anybody to run their own payment infrastructure,
be it individuals, organizations or whole countries. Since the
reference implementation is a <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU</a>
package, it will always remain free software.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Practical") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler is easy to integrate with existing Web
applications. Payments are cryptographically
secured and are confirmed within milliseconds with
extremely low transaction costs.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Stable") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler does not introduce a new currency with
fluctuation risks, and instead uses a digital
wallet holding coins in reserve. Taler's
cryptographic coins correspond to existing
currencies, such as US Dollars, Euros or even
Bitcoins.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Security-focused") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
By design Taler does not suffer from many classes
of security problems such as phishing or conterfeit.
Despite its security features, Taler never rejects a legitimate
customer due to a fraud-detection false positive.

<h2>Paying with Taler</h2>
<p>In order to pay with Taler, users install a wallet browser extension
or app on their device. Before the first payment, the wallet's balance must
be charged by some other means of payment for the desired currency.</p>
<p>Once the wallet is charged, payments on websites take only one click, are never falsely rejected
by fraud detection and do not post any risk of phishing or identity theft.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<h2>Receiving payments with Taler</h2>
<p>To receive Taler payments, a merchant only needs a bank account (or
any other kind of payment address) in the desired currency. We provide an
SDK in various languages that makes the integration into a merchant's store
painless. The merchant's backend for Taler transaction processing can run
on the mechant's premises or be a hosted backend.</p>
<p>When using a hosted backend, setting up a website that accepts taler
payments is a matter of minutes.</p>
