GNU Project presented<\/a><\/noindex> release of the free electronic payment system GNU Taler 0.7<\/a><\/noindex>. The system is characterized by providing customers with anonymity, while sellers are not anonymous to ensure transparency in tax reporting, meaning it does not track where a user spends money, but offers means to track incoming funds (the sender remains anonymous), thus addressing Bitcoin's tax auditing issues. The code is written in Python and is distributed<\/a><\/noindex> under the AGPLv3 and LGPLv3 licenses.<\/p>\n

GNU Taler does not create its own cryptocurrency, but instead works with existing currencies, including dollars, euros, and bitcoins. Support for new currencies can be provided by establishing a bank that acts as a financial guarantor. The business model of GNU Taler is based on conducting exchange operations \u2014 money from traditional payment systems such as BitCoin, Mastercard, SEPA, Visa, ACH, and SWIFT is transformed into anonymous electronic money in the same currency. Users can transfer electronic money to merchants, who can then exchange it back into real money at an exchange point, represented by traditional payment systems.<\/p>\n

All transactions in GNU Taler are secured using modern cryptographic algorithms that ensure integrity even in the event of leakage of private keys belonging to clients, sellers, and exchange points. The database format allows for the verification of all transactions made and confirms their consistency. The confirmation of payment for sellers is a cryptographic proof of transfer within the contract concluded with the client, along with a cryptographically signed confirmation of available funds at the exchange point. GNU Taler comprises a set of basic components that provide functionality for operating the bank, exchange point, marketplace, wallet, and auditor.<\/p>\n
