An update on the wallet app I am creating for GNOME Phosh on Linux.

I am continuing to add support for Taler.

Here is what it currently looks like to add a Taler exchange.

(A Taler exchange is where you would get Taler coins from.)

(Some of the stuff in the screen will change. Such as the buttons at the bottom.)

I got a Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.

I started writing apps for it recently — which are just a GNOME + Linux apps.

I started working on a wallet app for GNOME Phosh.

I am adding support for Taler.

AFAICT, with Taler —

You don't just, for example, have (a coin for) CAD $5 in your Taler wallet.

But, instead you have (a coin for) CAD $5 AT A PARTICULAR TALER EXCHANGE in your Taler wallet.

Why does that distinction matter?
Because, AFAICT, merchants declare what exchanges they are willing to accepts funds from. Well, exchanges or any exchange audited by a particular auditor.

AFAICT, Taler doesn't seem to be designed for gifting people money.

Such as, someone giving money to their friend.
Or, a husband or wife giving money to their spouse.
Or, a parent giving money to their child.
Etc.

Now is use in Switzerland;

"The [GNU Taler] merchant backend can generate static QR codes customers can scan to pay you.

You can hard-code a price or have the customer enter the price."

"The Taler point-of-sale app for Android can be used to quickly set up orders and handle payments.

The merchant backend offers a simple REST API to integrate GNU Taler into existing E-commerce systems. "
