Learn how Taler uses tokens to enable a wide array of use cases beyond digital cash, all while preserving anonymity in payments.


Digital money everywhere, all the time, all at once... isn't it getting a little boring? In this talk you will learn how GNU Taler, a privacy-focused payment system, leverages the properties of digital tokens and blind signatures to enable a wide array of use cases such as discount coupons, subscriptions, and tax-deductible donation receipts; all while preserving untraceability in customer-to-merchant transactions.
