Genuine curiosity: What's the issue with a company being backed by Tether?
I understand that, as it stands today, Holepunch appears to be operated or contributed to by several staff members from Bitfinex and Tether. However, if Holepunch is open source and Tether were to implode, Holepunch would still exist and could be adopted by anyone, irrespective of Tether/Bitfinex, etc., correct?
