Fact Check
The evidence strongly supports the truthfulness of the statement. The most authoritative sources are primary, originating directly from Tether's own website. One source is a press release explicitly announcing the open-sourcing of its Bitcoin mining software, including the 'Moria Mining OS (MOS)'. Another is the official product homepage for this software. This definitive primary evidence is further corroborated by multiple secondary sources, including news reports from cryptocurrency-focused outlets like Bankless Times and the Phemex exchange, all of which confirm the launch. There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources. Several provided sources were correctly identified as irrelevant, discussing video games or a coincidental use of the word 'tether', and therefore do not impact the assessment. The consistency and high authority of the supporting evidence lead to a high confidence level in the statement's accuracy.
