We now have a first version of the Taler wallet for Firefox. For now, a development build of Firefox is required. Installation instructions are on the Wallet page.
We just finished the camera-ready version of our paper on how to use Taler for Web payments. This paper does not discuss the cryptography behind Taler, but focuses on the practical aspects of how the wallet and the merchants interact over the Web. Hence, this paper should be a good read for anyone who wants to integrate Taler support with their Web site. We have posted the paper here.
We now have a business entity for Taler. Potential investors may contact the executive team at clevel@taler.net.
We have reached our first big milestone, the 0.0.0 release!
The release includes implementations of a bank, exchange, merchant and wallet
and is available on the GNU FTP mirrors.
While the exchange implements the
complete protocol, the implementations of merchant and wallet are both
fundamentally incomplete and still lack key features, including important
error handling. GNU Taler still lacks an implementation of an auditor or
logic for integration with "real" banks.
Thus, this release should not yet be used for actual financial
transactions.
That said, you can already setup your own functional payment system
and run your own toy currency -- or just try out the demo using
the Chrome/Chromium browser at demo.taler.net.
Please provide feedback to our bug tracker.
There, you can also find our roadmap
which contains a list of known open issues and our plans for the near future.
We finally have a first simple demo for Taler online. The Firefox-variant still needs some love, but you can start to try out the demo using the Chrome/Chromium browser at demo.taler.net. Please provide feedback to our bug tracker.
