If I can get a dollar everytime someone post a release news without explaining what it is... 🙄

I think that could be said about a lot of specialized communities , you can do a wikipedia search , that's better then just repeating the descriptions of software whenever they are mentioned.

I would agree if we're in Taler community. However, this is not a specialized community. This is a general community for open source stuff.

If I can get a dollar every time someone makes such a comment without bothering to click the link which easily explains it... 🙄

The link doesn't explain what Taler is, you then also have to click through to the home page. How hard can it be to add literally a single sentence like

Taler is a payment system that makes privacy-friendly online transactions fast and easy.

If I can get a taler every time someone gets a dollar

We provide a payment system that makes privacy-friendly online transactions fast and easy. Payments without registration Data protection by default Fraud eliminated by design Not a new currency! Empowers communities to run their own payment infrastructure Free Software

There should be a screenshot of the interface on the homepage not just a bended phone. Cool idea though I hope this is implemented by Patreon and Gumroad style services

Should become common to see in websites using it as a payment service if the eu folks select gnu taler for the "digital euro" project

I tried the demo. It's pretty cool.
