Where can I pay with a Taler, after filling my wallet? Is it only with cooperating companies?

As stated in the website, there are currently no known shops that accept it. It was released a week ago, so you'll have to wait.

Man, another really cool GNU project I hadn't heard of. I should subscribe to a mailing list or something.

Just do it!

I love the name. Sounds like something edible. Maybe it just reminds me of GNUtella. A Taler, btw, is an old currency (mostly present in fairytales these days) and etymologically related to dollar.

It's also the currency in the german language donald duck comics.

We had a smaller version of this in our childhood; the contents were somehow halfway between chocolate and chewing gum.

Betaler in danish means to pay, it sounds oddly similar
