      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.

        {% 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.

      <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.

        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.

        Taler is easy to integrate with existing Web
        applications. Payments are cryptographically
        secured and are confirmed within milliseconds with
        extremely low transaction costs.

      <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.

        {% 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>
