@Joesal: Not a problem, sir. I knew you'd get around to it eventually!

1. I agree; the outposts are the most decentralized version of Second Realms.
2. Good point; the Second Realm infrastructure itself would need to be torn down/rebuilt at each new temporary autonomous zone. Some would get sick of that pretty quickly, and yes, there is the risk of confiscation, or, in other words, squandered investment capital.
3. As far as mesh networking, I have a limited understanding as of right now. I'll have to get back to you on this once we do the Mesh Networking episode on The Vonu Podcast. Tentatively, I'd say you're correct. Anything that can be done to mitigate the risk of infiltration.

I'll leave it there for now.

I'm pleased to hear that you're willing to come on the podcast. I'm really looking forward to the discussion. As far as setting this up, is there an email address I can reach you at (or Signal, Telegram, SteemChat, etc.)?

Once I hear back, we'll get the process moving.
