I've long been annoyed that everyone, including myself uses Paypal/ Venmo for moving money around. What alternatives do you find useful? Here's a list (https://alternativeto.net/software/venmo/). GNU Taler looks viable (https://taler.net/en/index.html). I would love to have your thoughts!

Edit: Thanks for everyone's input. I really appreciate it. <3

Related: I think FedNow (USA) might enable transfers between individuals once the tools and user-facing services are developed. It's very new.

It's worth noting that any way to electronically move money is unlikely to stay both private and convenient for long after getting popular, because governments generally don't like that.

FedNow looks very interesting.
