@sun I just wish that people would just simply treat it as a decentralized alternative to payment processors and leave it at that. I know GNU Taler exists but from my understanding it only works if your bank/credit union implements it.

@xianc78 @sun It needs implementation server-side, thus the bank or whatever platform they offload banking services to has to implement it.
Not gonna happen because it stores the seller's data (To prevent tax evasion or fraud), but does not store the buyer's data, ensuring buyer anonymity, which is not necessary to keep for sale tax purposes.

@vokainen099 @sun That's what I expected, and not many banks are going to implement it due to it's obscurity. The only chance it has of ever becoming usable is if governments force banks to use it, which is also unlikely.
