Open source for the win. This is great to see. One of the perks of being the most profitable per-employee company in the history of the planet is that Tether has lots of excess cash flow to fund initiatives with long or unforeseeable payback timelines. They are mission aligned with seeing bitcoin grow and succeed, which makes things like this make sense for them even if it won’t immediately drive a direct profit incentive. Bitcoin mining centralization, across hardware manufacturers, pool operators, nation-states, and a few other variables, is probably one of the more vulnerable parts of this incredibly resilient system. It is great to see Tether investing to help reduce some of that vulnerability.
