asciilifeform: Tether (USDT) is a Bitcoin-like currency supposedly pegged 1-1 to USD. widely used by online exchanges. market cap. of 10 bil. USD. however, there have been continual allegations of insecurity and fraud, but the trading public mostly turns a blind eye. |

After kiwi stopped by yesterday I looked further into USDT, had no idea it had been moved to mETHereum token. In early days was an "OMNI token" on BTC. |

btc aint interesting or useful 'because it costs 11k $ per'. any more than it was 'because it costs 100 $ per' in '13. but for entirely other reasons, which have 0 to do w/ the exch rates at any point. |

trinque: 'press to head' was item mp insisted on. w/ support from eventually all of the v-using folx, incl. trinque and then asciilifeform ( iirc started w/ asciilifeform publishing 'shiva' patches that had interdeps. not 100% expressed in the v-structure. which was a coarse error of pilotage. manifestism makes it harder to commit, at the cost of slightly moar sweat. ) |
| 20:46 |
asciilifeform |
( for readers who aren't trinque , basic review : originally vtrees tended to look like e.g. this. whereas w/ 'manifest.txt' they can only diverge if the latter is diverged upon, e.g. like this. ) |
| 20:48 |
asciilifeform |
also oughta note that asciilifeform's orig. vtron in fact had a bug where assumed there were no conflicting divergences in the patch flow |

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-08-16#1019549 << the other problem, recall, is that prior to manifestism, there could be non-conflicting 'sibling' nodes on the flow graph. |

e.g. at one time, if you wanted 'mod6_der_high_low_s' and 'malleus' together, had to either have the vtron support 'parallel' presses, or unify'em into 1 patch w/ both as antecedents (what ended up happening, 'makefiles') |
