Summary0010561: Setup of self-provisioning system to test self-provisioning & receive (-> future) donations for Tor/Katzenpost/BitTorrent infra
DescriptionThe service will be available under taler.hacktivism.ch, as email addresses on that domain are used to be achievable on Tor infra, e.g., to run entry/guard / middle nodes for the Tor infrastructure; among the fastest in CH, actually:

FireCudaRelay: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/52BB94DDC1292F950CF728708AC48523E018A718

The idea is to be able to receive actual CHF/TOPS donations, that is over the real IBAN system, as for withdraw (client-wise) and settlement (merchant-wise).

This done, proper setup of my.taler-ops.ch -- for productive beta-testing of actual and also commercial customers --, is next.

Setup basically done, but more tests needed; KYC initiated, but no accounts showed yet as verified. Various test instances by self-provisioning created, some also created by @stefan.

Main work on this TBC by tomorrow.

Further tasks:

- SMS tan to be activated and tested
- Settlement of some of the KYCed accounts to be tested (receive shop money to verified IBAN accounts), after test payments went through

Update:

It was already yesterday possible to successfully see verified IBAN accounts and do payments on an examplary order with money withdrawn from TOPS/CHF in the past: the payment could be made successfully w/ a Taler wallet for Android.

On my iPhone Taler app, however, scanning the same QR code, showed a not very useful message, instead of just saying "order already claimed" (as it was on other sites?) -> separate ticket.

-> Things going in the right direction.

taler.hacktivism.ch is up & running, since like two weeks: now on taler-merchant v1.2.3; further testing continues using this instance, but that's work to be attached to 0010630. Closing this ticket.
