We're back to "privacy is a good thing even if it enables 'criminals'"? Yesterday there was rather a lot of negativity towards GNU Taler and other means of transferring money privately because it enabled tax evasion and such.
Gnu taler doesn't enable tax evasion if I am not mistaken. Vendors income is public I think.
How does you comment relate to my post?
That's explicitly not the case with gnu taler though.
Edit: I checked their website https://taler.net/en/features.html and I don't even know if sending person to person is possible. So you might have a point. I would never advocate to get rid of cash though, cash is good. Maybe in a distant future once we really have a digital equivalent working reliably.
