It’s an objective improvement over EMV which doesn’t protect privacy at all.
Taler protect payer privacy while exposing income information. Meaning it can help collect taxes to pay for infrastructure, education, public service, …
That’s a fine compromise. I hope Taler become a practical alternative to EMV and other shitty payment systems being pushed by banks.
Stores should accept monero to eliminate paying taxes
Lol yeah right
Also you would still have to pay sales tax
You should go to a few countries and see how the world operates. Stores can include all taxes in the quoted price upfront before the sale, as many countries embed the taxes in the price shown publicly, and then the store takes privacy coin payment like monero, and if the store does not record a few sales to skip on taxes since there’s no payment account tied to company name, even better
Nah, I think paying Monero in the physical world is much like paying cash by mail for digital services - awesome but impractical. Why not use the right tools for each job? Better stick to Monero for the digital world and cash in the physical one.
