If you are in Switzerland, you can begin using it following the instructions here: https://taler-ops.ch/en/users.html
I hope GNU Taler does well in Switzerland. One day I would like to accept payments/donations using Taler ❤️
GNU Taler requires exchanges in order to function, and hasn’t had any so far. What exchange now exists for use in Switzerland? Is it Taler Operations AG?
It depends on wire transfers to move money into and out of a Taler wallet. Wire transfer fees are typically around 30 USD. That’s not practical for most people’s needs, even if covering batches of transactions. Are there plans to support a less expensive means of funds transfer?
Nobody pays wire transfer fees in Europe.
Transfers within Switzerland are free for normal people. And SEPA has a relatively low fee for transfers in (some) other European countries.
Yep. The only exchange right now in Switzerland is Taler Operations AG.
As for the wire transfers, no alternative way that I know of.
But how can it be a digital currency without using blockchain?
