First Swiss businesses now accepting the Taler payment system
Original: In der Schweiz gibt es bereits die ersten Gelegenheiten per # taler zu zahlen. Online und insbesondere in und um # biel
The GNU Taler digital payment system has gone live in Switzerland, with the first shops and online merchants accepting payments, particularly in and around Biel. Supporters say a company has been founded to bring the system to Germany, and wider availability there could follow once the required e-money licence is granted. Observers see this as an early real-world test of the privacy-focused, free-software payment technology.
Why now: The first real merchant adoption of GNU Taler in Switzerland, plus plans to expand into Germany, is newsworthy for those following European digital payments.
