Yeah, it's popular among the crypto folks. But GNU Taler has advantages over Monero. Buyers are also untraceable, but sellers are not. So they are taxable, which is pretty neat. The EU and Swiss governments are experimenting with it and for them the taxation part is kind of valuable.

Edit: Ah, and it also doesn't rely on a blockchain, so offline transactions are feasible etc.
