Jame, asked this earlier, have not seen any answer:
Regarding telepod creation, you have noted several times that telepod creation will not be an attractive activity for all. Can you develop your ideas about this, what situations conditions would make creation attractive, be it legal situation, economic entity, liability limitation, national jurisdiction etc. Thx.
maybe profit?
I think there will be vendors who setup selling telepods for a markup
they would have the expertise so that there are setup to be immune from foreign laws and maybe they are setting up funding via already anon source.
Basically these "Teleport-station terminals" that feed into the overall teleport economy is what I think will happen.
I will make some demonstration version so that anybody that wants to can set one up and they can add whatever additional protections they feel warranted. The mechanism to then have a way to trade for these telepods would be made, eg. InstantDEX tradebots, or just some alternate channel communications.
For most people, I think to make a "transporter" account and then fund it from coinbase will be fine for small amounts. nobody is going to care about a few BTC being fed into the system. but of course N users * 3 BTC creates quite enough telepods for any normal level of activity.
I havent worked out all the details, but it is like making the carpet and paint for a house after it is built. Without it, nobody will like it so much, but compared to the actual building of the house it is not a matter to lose sleep over.

P.S. I am hoping to have some prearranged "vending machines" for people to be able to get telepods, especially via other anon coins. send any coin to the vending machine and telepod appears in your computer.
Will be interesting how much these telepods can fall under the same legal definitions as digital currency instruments, so that the jurisdictions that are developing favorably for btc will have an advantage. I like the vending machine idea. The gui keeps getting more important here.
Kristov Atlas mentions at show closing that he is studying the darkpaper and will likely have something to say about it next week, might be an very opportune moment to forward him a schema of the mechanics with the onion routing, randomizing, m numbers etc. plus the ecosystem perspective.
