I warmly recommend anybody who didn't use GNU Taler yet to do so right now, for free, in minutes :
GNU Taler provides a well done demonstration https://demo.taler.net/ that one can try right here in the browser, going from a virtual bank to their wallet and buying items in "KUDOS". It does address quite a few points raised in different discussions here.
For others who might be interested, found https://tutorials.taler.net/dev/merchant-api/introduction#video-tutorial from the merchant standpoint.
Thanks again, if the wallet is "filled" by a bank transfer then I imagine anything able to do so, e.g. my random European bank that allow IBAN transfer, would suffice as long as my wallet itself has an IBAN or that the service provider hosting that wallet has one and then "store" the then "money" for it and allow me to spend it with other GNU Taler wallets.
Anyway I'll explore through a recent technical talk indeed, good suggestion.
Thank you for taking the time to explain.
I don't necessarily have to wait, it's more a generic advice.
Can you please expand though, as I'm curious, why you won't wait and you plan to use it?
Can you also comment on my follow up question, namely what are the limitations at the moment, both technically and legally? Basically does not living in Switzerland make a difference anyway for users?
Also... I'm wondering what that means in practice because if it's online infrastructure then... it can be operating in Switzerland but both sellers and buyers, remotely or face-to-face, can rely on it to exchange money.
So... what are the limitations at the moment, both technically and legally?
Shouldn't we gather feedback first from that experiment before scaling up?

I wouldn't build anything significant on the RPi Zero and instead would try to build elsewhere, namely on a more powerful machine with the same architecture, or cross-build as others suggested.
That being said, what's interesting IMHO with container image building is that you can rely on layers. So... my advice would be to find the existing image supported by your architecture then rely on it to layer on top of it. This way you only build on the RPi what is truly not available elsewhere.
Absolutely, but OP will have to explain a bit to their boss why. Maybe we can help OP there?
Fuck that walled garden is not a business value added task so can we, as a community who cares how openness, translate that to C-suite MBA speech?
Maybe Ubuntu, RedHat, and other company selling FLOSS have reports to help there.
This is nearly 20 years old but give the idea of the words needed https://www.cio.com/article/274764/operating-systems-the-tco-of-operating-systems-compare-the-big-oses.html
Here is something a bit more recent https://umatechnology.org/comparing-operating-system-costs-windows-macos-linux/ but again this isn't to give an "answer" but at least understanding management perspective, which is not really a technical one but rather a cost/value one.
Mine, we're one in it, me ;)
Interesting, thanks for sharing the use cases and clarifying your choices.
I do also have a standing desk with a relatively large screen on a monitor arm. I also have a walking pad under the standing desk. The goal being to ergonomically have as much freedom as possible while still being efficient.
I did try the XReal months ago but I don't think I tried the Pro.
Otherwise I worked with pretty much everything (Google Glass, HoloLens, Vision Pro, Quest (all models), Lynx XR1, Monocle/Frames, my own DIY ones, etc) but my main focus is WebXR and 6DoF, so not really replacing a screen. I do understand it is useful, and sometimes as I travel I use the Quest 3 or Vision Pro to work in there but that's typically a temporary measure. My professional perspective is that 6DoF with hand tracking and accessories (6DoF pens, BT keyboard, etc) is the most novel way to interact with information hence why I build open-source WebXR prototypes on that topic.
And here is transfer from my Web based wallet to my mobile wallet, again with the testing currency :
