Re: [Taler] Confusion As To How GNU Taler Stops Fraud, Ransom, and Kidnapping

[Christian Grothoff]

Taler is only private for the person making the payment, not for the
person receiving the payment. So you can pay the ransom anonymously, but
the government can easily tell who received it. Which we don't expect to
go too well for the kidnapper... ;-)
