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.

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.
