Hello,
what's min infrastructure to have the simplest Taler payment system?
Like with a "private" own alternative "currency" (closed user
group), sandbox infrastructure.
Or like the example: snack machine (Bern University of
Applied Sciences BFH)?

"Core-Komponenten"
- Taler Cashier
- Taler Wallet
- Taler Merchant API
- Taler Merchant POS
- Taler Merchant Backend Operator
- Taler Backoffice (404 Not Found, both web & PDF)
- Taler Bank (404 Not Found, both web & PDF)
https://taler.net/en/docs.html
Under:
GNU Taler Documentation: https://docs.taler.net/taler-user-guide.html#introduction
2.1.1. About GNU Taler
- "This guide explains various ways how users can interact
with a GNU Taler installation.
- It assumes that a bank, exchange
and merchant backend are running and
that the user has a GNU Taler
wallet installed is able to create an account at
the bank. Some operations also require access to the merchant
backend."
A)
Is it right, at least it needs:
- Taler wallet (User to user. User act also like
"merchants" to each other?)
- Taler Cashier
Can we say, the snack machine acts also as "user". (FAQ: "Taler
supports push and pull payments between wallets (also known as
peer-to-peer payments)")
So people (users) could exchange e.g. EUR into digital
cash Taler and trade with each other in "Taler"?
The exchange would need to have all the rules implemented, right?
B)
Or it needs at least also a Merchant, or Exchange?
- Taler wallet (users)
- Merchant
- Exchange
C)
To transfer e.g. EUR, one would need a "(EMI)
E-Money Institution license" (EU Directive 2015/2366), right?
Thanks
