Re: [Taler] GNU Taler was suggested to Brazil's Central Bank

[Georges OIKONOMIDIS]

Hello all.

I' d say that an effort towards central banks is more than necessary.

I am just not at all optimistic about any respond of the central bank of Brasil to ever come.

I 'd say that you should address any one of European Central banks of a country non-eurozone member might it be Denmark, Norway etc. Of course hopefully ECB would consider Taler implementation, but Eurozone's bureaucracy makes me rather hopeless.

Wish the best.

Sounds great, I hope they answer you! I'm working on a paper about how
one could use Taler for a Centrally Banked Digital Currency (CBDC), once
that is finished, that reference might help in discussions with Central
Banks. (We're also changing a bit the 'tipping' protocol implementation
in the merchant (!) right now to make the Taler architecture already
support the envisioned CDBC-scenario.)

Happy hacking!
