Is someone here into GNU Taler?

I just learned that you could have it Bitcoin-backed and I ask myself what the centralization risks would be. It‘s the same as with custodial wallets, right? It all depends on the clearing interval.

#cashu > GNU Taler

Why is cashu better?

I thought it‘s an advantage that GNU Taler can work with regulators (but doesn‘t have to).

Nobody is using GNU taler 🤷‍♂️

Cashu is just working 🫡

Cashu does not have an expiration date.

There is no single company behind cashu, as it is an open protocol.

Is there a mint provided by a Swiss bank?

🤷‍♂️

No magic crypto schnitzels though only money you actually have to work for. This is not for you.

Thank you for the tip!

Check inbox for nuts 🥜

It's the same as cashu.

How to avoid digital cash expiration?

Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

Are there technical reasons for expiry?

I don't know, but #cashu doesn't have it 🤷‍♂️
