Book chapter on Taler as sCBDC technology (the 's' meaning synthetic)

ive not read the chapter yet but that seems like a dumb distinction.... why not just sDC (ie. synthetic digital currency). why conflate it with central banks? found the link via gnu's rss feed. dear @gabriel u might be interested.

rms has been suggesting the use of #gnuTaler for a looong time as just a way to help pay for things digitally in a more private way, eg not having to give a credit/debit card, name, address etc. and its a fine use case, iirc #taler is even supported by #btcPayServer lol. i must admit i'm more #fedimint inclined, but for people who just want to interface with a boring (ideally bitcoin-backed) local bank, i dont see any issue with taler, the main hurdle are the trashy "smart"phone themselves not allowing ethical libre firmwares and user freedom.

@githubprojects Interesting. Can it process #opensource money like #BTCpayserver?

@silverpill all the cryptos have tradeoffs, the issue with monero is an inflation bug may lay hidden for a long time. also i'm unaware of any layer 2 for monero that would help it scale, but ive not had a chance to research as much as i'd like.

bitcoin is as private as a person makes it, if a person is to lazy to think about privacy and declares to the world they own coins then that's their choice, i actually don't mind the mildly traceable aspect of it, it gives people an incentive to think about operational privacy and not just blockchain privacy. i think its good for holding govts accountable too, people should see what they are doing.

i know that bitcoin Core (layer 1) can operate over tor and i2p but btcpayserver (L2) operates over tor and i don't know if it operates over i2p, if it does support i2p then i'd be super supportive of mitra being compatible with the btcpayserver api.

if #btcpayserver doesn't do i2p i'd personally give priority to that.

Has anyone successfully setup #BTCPayServer to federate over #I2P network, rather than than Tor?

From this resource it would appear not:

While on the topic of #federated systems, aren't #bitcoiners embarrassed that they're on the invasive #MSGitHub platform? This question extends to #fedizens who list the #MicroShaft forge prominently in their bio.

The sooner we use alternative #forges day-to-day, or move to something like #ForgeFed the better.

Anyone in #retail have experience setting up #BTCPayServer?

How difficult is it? How many #lightingChannels does one generally need to have open in order to have lightning payments work reliably?

For those who might not know BTCPayServer is #FOSS and designed for Layer2 Bitcoin, ie. what most people consider as the #LightningNetwork, which is designed to operate over #P2P networks, like Tor, to protect the identity of the payer as best as possible.

@Zergling_man

...and yes of course there is no substitute for #Bitcoin and running #BitcoinCore and #BTCPayServer on your #gnuLinux over #I2P communication, with at least 15 #LightningNetwork connections that enable hundreds of transactions per second for your #smallBusiness if you require it.

But failing that, as ***many*** do, we must recommend cheques.

...and yes of couse there is no substitute for #Bitcoin and running #BitcoinCore and #BTCPayServer on your #gnuLinux over #I2P communication, with at least 15 #LightningNetwork connections that enable millions of transactions per second for your small business if you require it.

But yes, failing that we now highly recommend cheques.

Just tested the #BTCPayServer connection to #CLN on a #Raspiblitz.
Easy as suggested in the help clues. It is all about the file permissions. Will make an entry in the CONNECT menu about it.

@jb55 Would it be possible to mend #BTCPayServer to support "Patreon mode"?

Just saw this #BTCPayserver tuto by @NicolasDorier , this is great stuff, can't wait to see more of it !
