Not who you asked this from, but in my opinion it has a huge problem of any mistakes being unfixable - either you mistransact or get scammed - taler provides no way to fix that.
- teddyh 8y agoI don’t get it – if you could just take it back whenever, it wouldn’t be “money”, now would it?
- majewsky 8y agoIt would be money, but not cash. I can absolutely take back a Paypal transaction with buyer protection.
- teddyh 8y agoAnd, just like money is a layer built on top of cash, I assume that one could build a third-party escrow service on top of GNU Taler which has this “buyer protection” feature, with the added bonus of not one actor having a monopoly on it – whereas if Paypal stops liking you, you are out of luck.
- Avamander 8y agoThere are other alternatives to Paypal as well. This feature should be built into the currency instead of just forcing everyone to reinvent the wheel for zero benefit.
