SSB Log Entry 152

I've been starting to read about the idea of a merkle-tree based SSB feed and also the README for ssb-ooo. Is the out-of-order plugin for SSB essentially a delegation of trust to your peers to avoid downloading an entire stranger's (not friend-of-friend) feed? Can anyone recommend good reading material to someone that is curious about ooo? #ssb-dev #ssb-ooo #ssb Thanks!
