Just out of curiosity: Would it technically possible to use #Taler#GNUTaler with a chip card? So that it cannot only be used for online transactions, but also to pay a #coffee?
I ask, because I was very disappointed by #vegan restaurant in #Berlin the other day. #Pizza was OK, but they do not accept #cash. In fact, the waiter took my money and they paid my bill using their card. Maybe Taler could be used for that use case in the future?
@debacle Hmm, maybe? I think the payment backend needs to be online, but some pre-generated Taler tokens could very well be downloaded to a chip-card if there is sufficient storage on it? But I am not deeply into the technical side of it.
