+"Once the exchange has received the wire transfer, it allows the customer's "

+"are digital representations of the original currency from the transfer. It "
+"is important to note that the exchange does not learn the &quot;serial "
+"numbers&quot; of the coins created in this process, so it cannot tell later "
+"which customer purchased what at which merchant. The use of Taler does not "

+"Once the customer has the digital coins in his wallet, the wallet can be "

+"coins and the merchant. If necessary, the customer can later use this "
+"digitally signed contract in a court of law to prove the exact terms of the "
+"contract and that he paid the respective amount. The customer does not learn "

+"identity of the merchant via the provided bank routing information. The "
+"merchant can, for example when compelled by the state for taxation, provide "
