Testing GNU Taler at #Datenspuren was fun. And by fun I mean mostly unspectacular. It just worked. I scanned a QR code. I got some Kolle Mate.
I think some sort of GNU Taler integration into #Conversations_im would be pretty cool.
If you would like to integrate Taler into Conversations there are currently funding opportunities available¹ from @nlnet and both the Taler developer as well as myself are happy to help with scoping.
Two minor nitpicks on my GNU Taler experience. (And the fact that I’m complaining about those should be taken as an indication on how well the experiment went otherwise.)
• From checkout (by the merchant) to creation of the QR Code it sometimes took a little bit too long (seconds instead of instant). I think it round trips to the server and maybe the network was slow.
• The wallet app on Android looks very plain and boring. If we integrate this into #Conversations_im it needs to look cooler.
