Yeah, I guess we all fell for a scam.

Yes, and I tried to fund a contract on ropsten and it was a horrible pain in the ass. The docs are out of date. I had to go read the actual Solidity from their github.

One of the functions takes 2 arguments in the docs but only 1 in the actual "cut and paste this" code. This had me all fucked up for like 2 hours.

In the end, after struggling hard, I sent the ETH, I sent the chainlink, and no real world data was ever returned from the ETH/USD contract that was supposed to work.

Seriously made me lose some faith in this project. I waited approx 30 minutes for a response and got nothing.

I had thousands of dollars in this. If I knew it was going to be such shit, I'd have invested in something else.

I won't even shill another token here. I'll just tell anons to seriously go try and use this garbage and report back with your results.

I'm just saying that I wish it was easier and since it's not, you shouldn't put all your eggs in this basket.

There's so much that goes into this. It's going to be hard for the average person to do anything with it. You think companies are going to pay some programmers to come on and "fix" their already working APIs to be "decentralized"?
Why fix something that's not broken?

ecause muh SGX, because muh oracle" -- No business of any size without money to burn actually gives a shit. No one wants federated oracles/smartcontracts yet and likely won't for many years.

I don't think we'll see mainstream adoption for a while, so I'm out of it for now. I'll buy back in once they get something working reasonably well and normies can into smartcontracts via either ZepplinOS or some other "block based programming" service.

Also, you can't refute that no one in their right mind is going to want to pay (<current price> * n-nodes) USD per API call.

"Hey boss, I made this awesome decentralized app that only costs us (0.3 * 50) USD per day, even though we already get our data from a reputable source like bloomberg or factset... but it's GUARANTEED to be secure and correct AND ITS DECENTRALIZED" ... why would any manager say "good job"?

Don't get me wrong, I believe in LINK long term, but short term it doesn't make sense. Not until smart contracts are approachable by the layman through a LINK partner.

Don't talk to me about "Cryptlets" or Blechley or whatever. They are using proprietary smart contracts that Sergey helped develop but that have nothing to do with LINK.
It's all rumors and shilling.

Hope you've made it an absolute pain in the ass for yourself to sell because weak hands will get shaken out. Once they do, I'll come back into this project because I _do_ actually believe in it, but until then, I'm not losing money for no reason.

Seriously, good luck and God bless.
