Put it in the top.

This is the back room. MERV calls it the trading floor because there is a phone in it. Drop ETH into the slot on his head and he hands the shares straight back.

“Hold still. I have to swallow first.”

A cramped back room with a landline phone, a corkboard of paper slips and a filing cabinet MERV waiting with his briefcase

Feed the slot

Pick an amount. Your wallet buys from the curve itself, so your ETH never sits with MERV or with us. He only does the paperwork afterwards.

Pick an amount and he will guess what comes out.

Call the order in

The phone works. Sign once and MERV reads your order number back to you off the paper spike. Free, and no money moves.

    The corkboard is empty

    Nothing has traded yet, so there are no slips to pin. MERV has straightened the pins four times this morning.
