will only marginally contribute to the operational costs of the Taler
payment system.
+Scalability of the design is also not a concern, as the exchange's
+database can be easily shareded over the different public keys as
+desired. Similar to the RSCoin~\cite{danezis2016rscoin} design, this
+ensures that conflicting transactions end up in the same shard,
+enabling linear scalability of the database operations. Similarly,
