“privacy friendly online transactions”

I came across this and it’s looks interesting it seems to have been out for a while and seems to work well in the demo.

it sounds a bit like Blockchain, but it doesn’t seem to be. which i would think makes it more appealing because the setup was easy… but i can’t find any examples of it being used in the wild.

i was expecting to see more cases that used it when i saw there is funding for it from https://nlnet.nl/

i think this could be good to add into my app. but i wonder if it might not be a good idea if it hasnt established itself as reliable in the wild.

    Well, as usual with GNU, there is the chance that someone else will take it and make it useful. They usually have a solid foundation, they’re just kinda stuck in the middle ages when it comes to usability.
