Unironically, do you have any question about it or do you just want to insult others? Some people answer better when treated with respect, not all chainlink threads are good, everyone who holds a decent amount is very aware of this. I've tried to explain things to others as best as I've understood them but shit can get broken telephone, I can't answer for the behavior of others.

>contribute to the research discussions

Give me a break. I've asked plenty of questions and seen plenty of fairly simple questions be asked like:

"whats the difference between an Oracle and an API?"

According to Chainlink:

"An oracle provides data into the blockchain that cannot be accessed by the blockchain itself, due to consensus constraints"

that sounds to me like an API with an Authorization flag, but I've never heard an actual intelligent or knowledgeable response to any technical questions like that, not even talking about more general philosophical questions like why the extra token on top of Ethereum is even necessary just to settle a bank transaction.

Its all just "haha kikes im gonna be rich with sergey!"

The crypto aspect have been heavily discussed multiple times. It's that
> Convince me I need chainlink
Is a question I hate. It's like be more specific. First of all, you're probably never going to want to use it yourself unless you plan to run a node, I doubt a lot I will. We've had a lot of threads on token economics and how this could capture value and why but in the end it's mostly speculation. I'm not an expert on byzantine agreements, but I think the people in charge of the security have taken very seriously before they even thought about decentralization and that what it does for communication between blockchains and off chain could hopefully be interesting. But then you have the problem that I don't know how much is going to be running on things like AWS (at that point some properties of using blockchains become way less interesting). I'm deluded enough to believe it's going to be neat at some point in the future but I also have a voice in my mind saying it could go to nothing, I also like to discuss the problems but for some reason that doesn't make you very popular amongst holders.

BTW, the marketing of this is IMO serious fucking shit, I don't even know if they ended hiring the marketing director they promised in January. But flipping things that have good marketing in this crypto shit still deserves attention, just have to be careful not getting too smart and getting burned. Sexy team > released product very often it's sad but that's how it is.

ok, I'm gonna explain it to you like I would explain it to a brainlet, cuz yous eem to be willing to learn but not to DYOR
here it goes:

would you get on a stranger's car to get somewhere? no.
well, with uber, a somewhat decentralized trust-less middle wear solution you do, because you trust the protocol and know you won't be robbed there, the driver knows he won't get robbed, and both parties benefit from a cheaper and more secure service

ChainLink is trust-less middle wear for Smart Contracts

Digital agreements already exist (just like cabs exist) but it's not ideal for the driver or the passenger for different reasons, and the drver dosen't work for himself, he works for a third party that adds little to no value to the equation

if you have more technical questions now we can discuss them

[Anonymous No.10694128]

The trustless aspect isn't inherent to Chainlink though, it seems to me they're positioning themselves to be the middleman between Ethereum and banks but why do I need Ethereum AND Chainlink in this equation when I can just call a cab?

[Anonymous No.10694258]

>>10694168

Again, I respect that you're actually attempting to answer my question but this really hasn't changed my opinion that chainlink's biggest fans seem to know the least about it and get mean and defensive over something that is supposedly a slam dunk.

[Anonymous No.10694272]

>>10694199
why use uber when you can just call a cab?
because it's more a better service for less money

also, it's trying to become the middlewear between ANY off-chain data source and any on-chain contract (chainlink is blockchain agnostic, dosen't need to be an ethereum smart contract), not just between banks and ethereum

trust-less IS inherent of chainlink (as you can see on the pic)

>it's trying to become the middlewear between ANY off-chain data source and any on-chain contract

I get that, but there are hundreds of other projects doing the exact same thing, making what are essentially APIs for clients that connect to a blockchain.

I just think the marketing borders on spam and still precedes any actual value like a main-net for instance.

It's not necessarily a bad strategy to market first then make the product later, its just cynical and annoying and makes me think less of the people running it and supporting it.

An oracle provider can also let you access off chain payments (and other data) but if you're developing a specific API, sure, you don't need Chainlink, the idea is that if your API fails for a task, there's another API in the network that can provide the service, so, I don't know, if a government presses Infura, it still shouldn't matter. I don't know how advanced they are on that front and "the community" would ideally keep improving forever.

> why the extra token on top of Ethereum
This is a brutal one because like you say it's kind of philosophical. tl;dr the value of Ethereum is being gas, the value of LINK is reputation. And the big one is that it can execute things without Ethereum being operational, yeah I know ERC20 token. BUT.
I would need threads, I'm not saying it's a minor topic at all, but.I need to drive.

Around half the thread here it's discussed a bit I think

Brainlets also do this. Serious posters get tired and post less, then these posts get washed out much easier by shitposts. They are still hidden in the threads though. Sometimes its one or two posts but the quality of info is enough. Archives too.

Bunch of 4channers tried to force it as /ourcoin/, during the presale ico phase of chainlink there was a minimum requirement of 300eth to enter the presale. Bunch of anons pooled up together and shared presale links to fill them with their eth.

Coin continued to get shilled and pumped up and hyped for the sibios event that link was attended, whole event turned out to be a flop chainlink had a presentation in a room of like 18 people next to the public toilets, literally no news or partnership came from the event and the coin dumped back to below ico prices and created 1000's of bagholder anons.

Now during this alt bull run lots of anons and took advantage of this and shilling this coin to all the new money and newfags that joined in december and don't know this story.

The coin is HEAVILY manipulated and the supply is dried up from huge whales who accumulated below ICO price to create a artificially lower supply (a lot like REQ) and these people have so much room to dump on all of you faggots to still be in profit when the time comes.

In regards to actual project that chainlink aiming to achieve it's nothing more than a basic json parser for smart contracts, would take like a day to add to ethereum by itself.. literally making links whole concept pointless and definitely no need for a token. Would take a lot longer to get it working with bitcoin but the bitcoin core devs would be able to work out the solution a lot quicker than chainlink will, think that's something worth noting that literally nothing is completed and you're literally just buying a whitepaper, they have only 2 developers and they don't communicate at all with no proven background on either, in fact sergey was involved in a project before chainlink called NxT that he since been abandoned until it was took over by a new developer team

The link delusion continues. Imagine being the person who believes that a gypsy russian with a philosophy degree and no programming experience is going to instantiate a global, paradigm shifting economic system where banks and other entities are going to willfully funnel hundreds of billions of dollars into and sit around idly while said gypsy russian and his family of neet fags take profits.

Now imagine being the person who believes that the worlds banking cartels, with arguably some of the most brilliant computer scientists out there, are going to sit by and let a gypsy russian take profits they could have had by using a simple JSON parser.


Consider this snippet from the following article:
[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/10736960/High-frequency-trading-when-milliseconds-mean-millions.html]

"No wonder that Spread Networks, the company building the fibre-optic connection, proudly boasted: “Round-trip travel time from Chicago to New Jersey has been cut to 13 milliseconds.”

And HFTs were willing to pay through the nose to use it, with the first 200 to sign up forking out $2.8bn between them."
These fucking jews spend billions of dollars just to get a 13 millisecond improvement so their algorithms can get the data faster. So you're telling me that if there was any money in the chainlink area these guys wouldn't be all over it? Get the fuck out of here.

So explain to me why this is going to work again? Or is it just a PnD like 99% of other crypto's out there.

Thats an interesting point, apparently Eth is having throughput issues for app-level transactions which is why the tokens that use it now may have to engineer with those constraints in mind on top of an already complex platform.
