You could create a private relay today (controlled via accessing IP) that would work like that today.
There is a protocol spec for client authentication that would allow you to do this without IP restrictions and instead based on an authentication token but it has not been widely implemented yet.
Don’t understand that. Sorry 😢
Basically yes it can be done today in a more difficult way. It will be easier to have private (but shareable) relays in the future.
I bring up the watch dealer examples because during the pandemic I resold vintage watches. Oftentimes we would trade dealer-to-dealer and wire money to one another, other times, have to spend an afternoon invoicing an chasing clients.
I since purchased key domains in the bitcoin + watch space, and could facilitate trusted dealer-dealer conversations via private/secure member paid relays… trade deals, and instant international settlements via bitcoin. It could be a great system.
Basically I have light bulbs going off in my head of things I want to create.
Currently stuff like this is gone on private telegram groups… but the zap feature is a game changer because I can post something with and asking price, and sell it faster 💨
