Interesting, I haven't heard of GNU Taler. But please excuse my ignorance: Reading the official website doesn't help me understand exactly what it is. Can you explain (or link to a good explanation)?

gnu taler seems sufficient to me. We don't need crypto currency, a way to 
anonymously and securely transfer actual money should do just fine.

Currently Bitcoin is an insane gold-rush bubble that is frivolous and
wasteful but it has the potential to balance out into the secure,

think that is something worth spending energy on.

indeed...  would it not be worthwhile, do you think, to leverage
*this* opportunity... such that the funds were available to *create*
an eco-responsible coin that is *properly* libre, properly
peer-to-peer distributed, and so on?

look at what i put out only a few weeks ago, we analysed at least two
alt-coins that, whilst the people behind it had their hearts in the
right places they *still* did not fundamentally get it.

if we don't do this "properly" then those alt-coins will be all that
is available... oh and bitcoin.  is that something we really really
want?

gone midnight here (julie) i'll write a more complete reply tomorrow.
