BitAC - Bitcoin Address Checker vs Taler Wallet
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
BitAC - Bitcoin Address Checker
Bitcoin Address Checker (BitAC) is an open-source application designed to be lightweight and fast. The idea is to provide to Android users an easy and quick way to check the balance of bitcoin addresses. This application does not prove and is not intended to provide any functionality of a bitcoin wallet, so you can not receive, send or save bitcoins with BitAC, you can only check how many bitcoins a wallet has.
Taler Wallet
This app is a wallet for GNU Taler. GNU Taler is a privacy-preserving payment system. Customers can stay anonymous, but merchants can not hide their income through payments with GNU Taler. This helps to avoid tax evasion and money laundering. The primary use case of GNU Taler is payments; it is not meant as a store of value. Payments are always backed by an existing currency. Payment are made after exchanging existing money into electronic money with the help of an Exchange service, that is, a payment service provider for Taler. When making a payment, customers only need a charged wallet. A merchant can accept payments without making their customers register on the merchant's Website. GNU Taler is immune against many types of fraud, such as phishing of credit card information or chargeback fraud. In case of loss or theft, only the limited amount of money left in the wallet might be gone.
