At this point, different things look plausible in different countries. Consider the possibility of a major banking technology provider offering it as a feature, in which case basically on day 1 you have 1000 banks that can choose to offer it if they believe their customers want to use Taler. Or you may have a smaller bank offer Taler as a limited experiment just to see if there is a business case, with very limited publicity. Or you may have a big bank offer it as a strategic product. Or you may have even a central bank beat everyone else and launch it as the official central bank digital currency. Personally, I'll probably sleep better if it starts small.

Would you mind chatting about this? I'd like to help if possible - tech like this shows a beautiful version of 'the state' that I would happily support.

We have a mailinglist ([e-mail]), and my personal e-mail is also not difficult to find out. We can always use help. Still looking for an iOS developer, for example.
