TVP #118: The Second Realm Notel (“Not A Hotel”) w/ JJ [SEEKING PROXY MERCHANTS]

On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, JJ, a pseudonymous individual from the P.A.Z.NIA Committee of Correspondence Chat, joined me to talk about the notel (“Not A Hotel”) demonstrated in #agora.

We discussed what the inside of a Notel room could look like, policies & procedures, marketing such a Second Realm establishment, the role technology and crypto-anarchy play in the security and maintenance, the utility of proxy merchants in securing the Notel and potentially other proxy merchant services, pricing and profitability, and more (see the show guide below!).

Does this idea sound intriguing to you? Become a proxy merchant and start a Notel where you are! We’d love to help!
