1. How do you tag someone

2. just block him. You’re not going to chnge his mind, no need to cause a scene here.

Wasn’t there that story about your police literally waiting outside the school?

Let’s be honest, your police system is fucked.

You need a proffessionally trained force like us over in europe.

Just to add to what the others said:

Security features also means hardware such as google’s titan chip

Just to get 200% tarriffs slapped on them?

Grundgesetz Artikel 20 (Abs. 3 & 4)?

it’s ironic, you don’t have to fall into a party line when you’re not a party member yet they’re being hunted down as if they just broke the rules of centralised democracy

It’s because you just broke the rules of dictatorship ;P

obviously, but that’s not something you can fix via the payment method ;P

swiss national bank and european central bank, my bad ;P

How will that company make money?

It doesn’t want to. The Taler is a project by the university in Bern and the FOSS Group GNU to make a new, independent, free currency that is run by your national bank (or central bank in case you use the Euro) and independent from any corporations like banks, credit cards or payment providers like Paypal. Its purpose is to remove companies that make money from transactions from the circle.

The company here only wants to serve as a proof of concept that the Taler can work to get the swiss national bank to adopt it themselves. Their whole goal is to make themselves obsolete and not to make any money.

Hope that clears it up ^^

While is disagree with the harsh tone of u/als@lemmy.blahaj.zone and u/altro_city@fedia.io here, The current banking systems are not anonymous. Anonymity is important to protect our privacy, to prevent us being manipulated and, in the worst case, to protect our security.

Imagine something like the US. A ultra-conservative government gets to power and decides that anyone that has ever bought a Dildo is a threat to children and needs to be put on a watchlist. The GNU Taler prevents that by hiding that you ever bought a Dildo.

The GNU Taler also has the advantage of not being 100% private. While the buyer is, in fact, completely private, the seller is not. This protects the buyer, as noone can see who bought something or prove a specific person bought anything, but still prevents the seller (the one receiving money) from evading taxes, as the government can clearly see that he received money, even if it doesn’t know from whom.

The GNU Taler aims to be a perfect balance of the advantages of cash and digital payments and it manages to do so pretty well in my opinion.
