Is this the same Tether as in the USDT stablecoin that's been accused of pumping up the volume in Bitcoin markets and possibly being secretly insolvent?

mobile platforms have some unique challenges for P2P stuff, from what I looked into back in the day.

P2P stuff is really hard.

The same company. The claims about pumping Bitcoin are ridiculous, but being secretly insolvent? It seems unlikely at this point, but maybe.

I'm guessing its due to the NATs they use. Carrier-grade NATs with made-up IPs and symmetric NATs. You can have some kind of options for symmetric NATs. But I'm not too sure about carrier-grade NATs yet as I've never even written code for this yet.

This seems like an unneeded attempt to try politicalize a technical innovation...

#9I've been following Holepunch developments for a while. There does not seem too much publicly available about who's building with it, but I personally regularly use Holepunch's Keet[1] for video calls with friends in parts of the world with censored Internet. I'm able to chat with voice and image quality surpassing anything else I've used.

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?
