   If only there was a way to integrate peer to peer payments into federated social media without relying on Stripe and Google... Maybe someday it will be discovered!

     @sun No recipient privacy (for some reason this is advertised as a feature), and depends on the banking system (at least in the default configuration). In my opinion these are fatal flaws

     I haven't studied it much, but overall looks like an interesting project, better than Stripe/PayPal/etc

     @silverpill What do you think about GNU Taler?

     @sun That's an interesting idea. And I think Taler integration can be added to Mitra, but I am not likely to work on it myself

     @silverpill I am gonna see if it can handle an arbitrary balance, where it might work for people that hate cryptocurrency to have a digital currency not connected to a blockchain.

     I was told you can run your own bank: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/federated-alternative-to-patreon/4018/14

     @silverpill I looked at it and it's pretty complicated, more complicated than anyone is gonna tolerate for a fedi server, unfortunately. I'll still investigate it but it will take probably a whole day sometime.
