Book chapter on Taler as sCBDC technology<\/u><\/a> (the 's' meaning synthetic)<\/p>

ive not read the chapter yet but that seems like a dumb distinction.... why not just sDC (ie. synthetic digital currency). why conflate it with central banks? found the link via gnu's rss feed. dear @gabriel<\/a> u might be interested.<\/p>

rms has been suggesting the use of #gnuTaler<\/a> for a looong time as just a way to help pay for things digitally in a more private way, eg not having to give a credit\/debit card, name, address etc. and its a fine use case, iirc #taler<\/a> is even supported by #btcPayServer<\/a> lol. i must admit i'm more #fedimint<\/a> inclined, but for people who just want to interface with a boring (ideally bitcoin-backed) local bank, i dont see any issue with taler, the main hurdle are the trashy \"smart\"phone themselves not allowing ethical libre firmwares and user freedom.<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-09-01:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/wizard.casa\/objects\/01a044de-34da-7d83-b527-83af5d0490e4","object":{"id":"https:\/\/wizard.casa\/objects\/01a044de-34da-7d83-b527-83af5d0490e4","objectType":"note","content":"
