While what you say is completely valid, that doesn't save the original argument by pcj50 which was made up claims about the ability for scammer to drain your wallet. Of course you could build your own implementation that allows for such an attack, it is not a valid criticism of the project.

Indeed, I just wanted to point out that the "game changing" desire of entropyie to fully automate payments can still be done with GNU Taler. So you are right that the scammer in the default deployment won't succeed, but additionally entropyie could still totally get what entropyie wants as a feature on their own system (and conceivably make this reasonably secure, too).
