GNU Taler seems to be a good option available to merchants in Germany now.
Of course, I would prefer to see MNT accept open-source cryptos independently. But I don’t know what legal hurdles there may be in the way for something like that.
No, there are no such plans at the moment, I’m sorry.
Understood.
The only thing keeping me from placing an order right now is not wanting to put up with the invasive BS of Paypal. They seem to insist on fingerprinting my Browser+OS, and also sharing this with at least 3 other commercial entities, none of which I have any contractual agreement with. This is from a quick inspection of the scripts that run on their payment page. Plus, the page does not allow payment without a confirmed mobile phone number, even if I specifically choose the option to not create an account with them.
But all of the above BS is somehow still better than what the banks in my country would impose if I were to try to send a bank transfer all the way to Germany.
