Okay, Wero does not have a web application at the moment. Valid criticism.

I think it’s great that you use privacy-enabling tech, and developing these is valuable in my eyes. But nothing about your setup screams “mass adoption” to me. I’ll spare everyone the mobile OS adoption charts, and browser adoption isn’t looking better.
You just can’t put out an on-par mobile service nowadays without an app in Play and Apple’s store. I don’t like it, but it is what it is.


This is a non-argument, even though it made it onto Wikipedia. A mass-adopted Taler-based payment system would also require mobile support, which would be gatekept by Google/Apple.
Breaking oligopolist control over the mobile ecosystem is a separate battle and applies to both Wero & Taler.
That’s not to say that Wero couldn’t do more in this regard, e.g. publish to F-Droid.

It’s never too late to git merge --abort!
Awesome!
I keep getting analognowhere posts, where the image won’t load. Also seems to affect the sdf.org web client, so it’s not just local. Last happened for “What’s in a name” and “of wasps and beavers”. Wonder what does that.
Also: any chance this will go on RedBubble as a canvas print?


I was pretty sure systemd doesn’t have to be configured like that. Anyway, on my company managed Linux systemd tries to access some network service on startup and shutdown. Unless I’m plugged into on site LAN, I get to wait a full network timeout (presumably with retries) every time.
At least it’s not Windows.
Wow, the first project to have found a use case for cryptocurrency!
Just kidding. This is trash. I don’t care about fancy privacy features if the backend is tied to the Ethereum scam machine. Use Signal or Matrix.
