0011629: can't bootstrap

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 01:45:47 +0200

Hi,
I'm testing gnunet on gentoo, I did build it from source, started "gnunet-arm -s" checked that services are available with "gnunet-arm -I"
so after I wanted to check if I was connected, so I done a "gnunet-gns -u gnunet.gns.alt" and it wait... wait... wait... and never timeout
so I done some wireshark capture to see if there was some firewall/NAT issue... and... nothing.... just regular ICMP some unrelated UDP trafic.

gnunet-config -s gns t
.gnunet.gns.alt = 000G0522TTKQESZ9KPRT2K0RA9ZC8YMD52D2XYVYVGPDCNPMWHH9QXXF4W
.pin.gns.alt = 000G0522TTKQESZ9KPRT2K0RA9ZC8YMD52D2XYVYVGPDCNPMWHH9QXXF4W
INTERCEPT_DNS = NO
MAX_PARALLEL_BACKGROUND_QUERIES = 1000
UNIX_MATCH_GID = YES
UNIX_MATCH_UID = NO
UNIXPATH = $GNUNET_RUNTIME_DIR/gnunet-service-gns.sock
BINARY = gnunet-service-gns
HOSTNAME = localhost
IMMEDIATE_START = YES
START_ON_DEMAND = YES

I wonder what is wrong....

0011625: KYC auth QR code and payto URI does not include amount and reference/subject

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 20:03:16 +0200

The SPA just shows the exchange's plain payto without the additional information.

0006396: Implement FinTS

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 15:43:27 +0200

... as another bank connection type.

0010163: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml and Kubernetes files

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 15:23:20 +0200

Dockerfile would benefit from pinning to a *known stable combination* of merchant, exchange and gnunet. e.g. (example, doesn't work):
RUN git clone --branch v0.24.2 --recurse-submodules git://git.gnunet.org/gnunet.git
RUN git clone --branch v1.0.12 --recurse-submodules git://git.taler.net/exchange.git
RUN git clone --branch v1.0.3 --recurse-submodules git://git.taler.net/merchant.git

0011623: centralize kyc details to avoid blocking other requests

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:49:52 +0200

multiple /kyc request with long polling at the same time

this is because multiple ui components requires useInstanceKYCDetails

switch to into context provider on routing after login and the consume from singleton

0011570: deprecated API usage in taler-typescript-core

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 16:22:00 +0200

- withdraw.ts long-polls the bank withdrawal with long_poll_ms (bank-integration v3, use
timeout_ms)

- libeufin-bank-webui AccountForm.tsx sends singular tan_channel (corebank v10) on both account create and update

- merchant.ts http-client falls back to the merchant lpt kyc param (v25)

Please verify and make sure to use the latest APIs -- I would like to eventually remove the deprecated code...

0011627: test merchant webui with multiple currencies

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:38:35 +0200

In theory the webui and backend supports it, but we never really tested it so far.

0011621: taler-uri-action "add-exchange" missing

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:17:25 +0200

In Android, taler://add-exchange/$EXCHANGE_DOMAIN/ doesn't seem to work, claims to be unsupported URI.

See this described in https://lsd.gnunet.org/lsd0006 and https://docs.taler.net/wallet/wallet-core.html#addexchangeop to exist; cf. screenshot.

0011619: notify user what to do to remove an exchange from payment provider list

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:14:34 +0200

To successfully remove an exchange (with some lag), tied bank accounts of the exchange world (e.g., x-taler-bank accounts) need to be removed first.

Problem: the user is not informed about this. Nothing at all happens. The exchange just sticks there.

0011628: wallet core does not put any reference into the QR code for SIMPLE wire transfer subjects

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:45:03 +0200

The reference is present for CH_QRR, but not for SIMPLE.

0011618: refine insufficient balance reporting [4h]

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:38:05 +0200

* findMatchingWire is only used during coin selection, but not during insufficient balance reporting. Thus the selection function might have different rules than the report function. This could lead to mismatches and wrong reports.
* We don't report some more exotic issues, such as a mismatched public key (when the base URL matches)

0011620: Wallet apps (incl. taller-wallet-cli) just hang if /terms (exchange) missing + "NULL" terms cannot be accepted

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:04:36 +0200

While in a real-world scenario it makes sense and is also legally needed to have /terms (in this case: exchange), wallets should say they are aborting because of missing terms and not just keep the user in the void, without proper way even to return to the main screen.

In one case (iOS), it was first possible to add the exchange not exposing terms, but then when trying to withdraw, it hanged there. Also it was not possible to accept the "terms" (being shown as NULL) in the list of payment providers; the blue button usually disappearing if it works, in that case it just stayed stuck there, doing nothing.

So, problem: apps might hang (at various locations) because of missing /terms.

0011518: Test taler-merchant v1.6.9+ to be production-ready

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:38:50 +0200

Due to a new DB scheme (v38), the taler-merchant v1.6.x introduces new complexities. We need to rule out production systems run into issues by upgrade or in ops; by carefully testing core functionality and also observe mutations to the DB and check if there are errors or warnings by taler-merchant-httpd.

0011624: deploy merchant (1.6.x) on lifeline

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:38:30 +0200

See summary.

0011626: webext wallet should allow any dev experiment, not just a fixed list

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 16:57:56 +0200

Currently the webext wallet checks if the dev experiment is part of a hardcoded list, other dev experiments are rejected.

Instead, the UI should allow arbitrary dev experiments, so we can add them to wallet-core without having to update the UI each time.

0011622: Fix footers of our sites, add last copyright year dynamically; avoid doing this manually

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 11:48:24 +0200

Cf. www_shared.git: s07a7b6f..e6be243

0010531: Order & Templates v1 SPA (for testing or expert mode)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 22:13:46 +0200

Here is a design idea for integrating token families into order creation.
Also we need to rename "Taler payment options" to "Taler payment settings".

For Templates I propose to locate "Payment options" under "Supported currencies" field.

0011256: Missing tutorial for onboarding with my.taler-ops.ch

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 15:28:14 +0200

Since I am now writing tutorials on how to use Talerbarr, there are pretty much 2 options on how to obtain a Taler merchant backend instance:
1) Install with apt
2) Register on my.taler-ops.ch

A tutorial for installation with apt is present, but there are no tutorials on how to get an instance from my.taler-ops.ch.

0011589: Minor typos (broken links, text)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:55:07 +0200

- On page https://www.taler.net/en/development.html , the "Git Repositories" link goes to https://git-www.taler.net , which should be git.taler.net instead.
- On page https://docs.taler.net/developer/taler-developer-manual.html#code-generator-usage-policy , AI policy, text "MUST NOT become dependend" should be "... dependent"

(These are just tiny things I spotted while looking for "how to build Taler" for FreeBSD)

0010887: SPA should support inventory-based templates

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 09:52:03 +0200

See 0010507 (part of protocol v25). Basically, allow new template variant where products or inventory categories are specified (and possibly a 'tip') and then the wallets are to allow the user to enter the quantity for each product.

Oh, and 'request_tip' should probably be supported as a new field also for the existing "simple" templates.

0010976: properly package SMS provider scripts in challenger, use them in deployments

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 01:37:07 +0200

We currently have copies of those scripts in the ansible exchange deployment and setup instructions for mytops.

The packaged scripts should be properly named and should not end in ".sh"

0011024: package duplicated SMS/postal/email scripts properly

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 01:36:59 +0200

Right now, we package them in anastasis + challenger and also use them in the merchant backend.
It would be good to create a new Git repository AND Debian package for these SMS/postal/email helper scripts instead of duplicating them in various places.

0011613: gnunet: patches for FreeBSD

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 01:36:26 +0200

(I realize this is probably not the right BT for gnunet -- even though it's under that domain)

I just packaged gnunet (as a dependency of Taler) for FreeBSD. Aside from directly-packaging related things. such as library-directories and include-directories needing some help, there were only two code-related changes.

0011611: wallet-core does not handle output tokens with count>1

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:39:24 +0200

Needs a fix in the implementation and a test.

0009994: improve the double click on link challenge

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 18:57:13 +0200

user needs to do 2 clicks when the challenge is a link:
1) to create the link (because is a expensive task)
2) click the link to access the challenge

before we were delaying the click and using `window.open` to open the link programmatically but this doesn't work with some browser, the user needs to click an `` tag to open a new tab/window.

we could keep the old functionality and only ask the user to click again if the popup didn't work.
