====== How to redeem Minutos ======

===== Redemption by the issuer =====
As issuer of a voucher you are obligated to redeem it within its period of validity.\\

If the voucher is valid for more than 3 years, the issuer can use the voucher again for payment. If the validity period is shorter than 3 years, the issuer destroys the voucher after redemption. Due to this rule, participants of the network practically rarely receive vouchers that are about to expire.\\
^ Validity of voucher ^ Action by the issuer ^
| more than 3 years | must accept the voucher, can reuse it for payment |
| less than 3 years | must accept and destroy the voucher |

  * inability to work or earn
  * address unknown
  * death
