    I’m assuming from context it’s Micro Transactions(x). The X silent though, and also invisible, rather like the P in strawberry

      in programming, tx is the abbrev for transaction sometime. also for “transmit” in the context of receive and transmit when a stream (of data) is duplex (both ways). I never questioned the tx abbrev until now, but just yesterday I used it. hmm

      edit: apparenty it’s pure coincidece between tx for transaction and tx part of duplex abbrevs.
