Taler as new payment method, payment:gnu_taler?

Hello,
(i’m new on the forum but already contributing to OSM for some years)

GNU Taler is a “new” (initiated for years but officially released few weeks ago) payment method privacy oriented.
Spreading is now ensured by an european consortium including several banks and co-founded by EU.

How could we start to tag the physical shops accepting this new payment method? Would payment:gnu_taler=yes suit?

Maybe payment:taler=* too? (assuming no other payment method is called taler)

Here’s my two cents: I highly doubt this payment method will ever take off outside of a few niche websites

I guess it is not so unlikely that there are other payment methods called “Taler” (as it is an old name for a tender), so gnu_taler seems better

Regardless of its success, payment:gnu_taler seems to be a good tag name.

I’d just put it under ATYL. Whether it’s going to be wide-spread or not doesn’t really matter if some shop decides to accept it as payment.
