Ok, here is the most simple way to put it, and explain it to be people who have no idea what blockchain is:
Chainlink is able to take data from multiple sources and verify them as true/false, and feed that data into contracts that execute automatically. In does this in a completely decentralized and automated way (this is what blockchain is), so it cuts out the middleman entirely. It will make contracts more efficient, cheaper, and trustworthy. It's a huge upgrade, like going for horse drawn carriages to cars. Here is just one example of what it can do (note I copied and pasted from another early example of mine- being lazy):
A person wants flood insurance. The contract will pay if rain levels reach 20 inches in 24 hours. The policy on said insurance has traditionally been maintained in a subjective manner with a human agent (read- inaccurate, inefficient, and requiring trust). Now, a token can instead validate all data by checking multiple sources for rain levels automatically- ensuring instant, accurate, efficient, and trustless contract adherence. Costs will fall dramatically as a result.

Yeahhh...

Link is the most overhyped coin hyped by the most unsophisticated investors in the world. No one understand the technology either technically or fundamentally as it relates to the real world.

There is no use for it because there's nothing it can do that encryption can't. There is no reason to insure data processes via a complex system of staking a cryptocurrency. These processes work just fine today, and the amount of them working correctly and without error or manipulation is astounding. Doesn't matter.

In case you haven't noticed it lives and breathes on hype and the people behind the hype. Probably a good 1/5 of the threads on here are chainlink related and they focus specifically on price action.

You guys understand that the problems of scalability and staking will only now begin to be solved?

Chainlink CANNOT scale to the insane marketcaps Sergey talked about because it is an ERC-20 token. It is built on Ethereum. It will fundamentally suffer from the same transactions/second problem that Ethereum is facing. The concept is great, but the token CANNOT work for billion-dollar markets.

And as far as staking is concerned, lol. If you actually saw the conference you can see that they will only NOW start trying to figure it out. That's what they got Ari and Chainlink Labs for.

This is a good project, but far from completion, with scalability being a problem I doubt can be surmounted. If you have 6-figures it's probably your safest bet for a x10 in the coming years. If not, you're better off betting at low mcap coins that do a x10 every week. Oldfags (<$1) with fat stacks are the only ones that have the right to gloat about LINK.

You know how bitcoin miners get paid for solving complex problems and keeping record of an immutable ledger? How Ethereum miners get paid for ensuring verified computations + what BTC does + Smart Contract functionality. Now the real problem with blockchain is being able to get real world data (off chain records) on to the blockchain. Now chainlink has developed a way to solve this problem in a secure and trustless way. In order for people to get paid for operating the chainlink network (providing real world verified data in a trustless manner) they get paid in chainlink tokens. Now you can theoretically say the token isn’t needed and anything can work. I’m not going to go in-depth, but LINK tokens have an extra functionality that allows them to transfer and call. Go look up what this does. Long story short, Chainlink node operators are BTC & ETHs version of miners. Also since Chainlink is blockchain agnostic, this doesn’t only connect legacy services, but also New Blockchains that are being developed by Major companies to Older blockchains. This is why you see every blockchain integrating Chainlink. Token go up

It's not really supposed to be a "currency" it's more of a token to node operators. The more tokens a node operator holds the bigger confirmations they can make.

The incentive to hold LINK in order to be a more reliable and trustworthy node is huge. Node runnners will hold. Traders will trade.

Imo something like CRO is a coin that will be implemented with business quickly as in B2B and consumers in general. Either way, LINK wasn't supposed to be an actual currency to make transactions from person to person, it's a token for completing a task. Not sure there is more use case for it outside of that. It's kind of a big deal to have a system like chainlink but it's not the best for an actual currency...

This is a classic showing most of you guys lack the ability to assess business processes completely. You honestly think a smart contract in that form would be used? Why aren't there already today contracts in insurance used like your example? Because the problem is not to get a validated data for the water height in your example, but to create the contract so that it could be functioning automatically. You basically think a programmer with a few lines of code can replace complicated contracts between businesses and customers. First false assumption you have is the challenge, it's not to have validated data, but to agree and define a smart contract between companies. You would need lawyers and negotiators. Second thing you make wrong is, you simplify. Businesses pay lawyers today not for fun, because it's not that easy. Your example is ridiculous, you think the customer contract for a water insurance mainly consists of the water height as payout criteria? Ffs, the problem would be to design that contract. These won't be a few lines of code that self execute. Again, you lack experience in business and completely misjudge applicability and complexity of smart contracts.

To answer OP's larp:

LINK is paid to each faithfully participating reporter of true & accurate data for every legally binding self executing smart contract (bad reporters are penalized by forfeiting staked LINK); the value of these tokens must reflect the value of whatever's at stake in every smart contract -- many of these contracts will handle the secure transfer of about five billion dollars per day worth of purely financial transactions *when* about 10% of the entire derivatives market alone is handled by the Chainlink network (incidentally saving billions of dollars every month which otherwise would have been spent paying salaries et al for millions of white collar paper pushers whose entire careers are obsolesced by ChainLINK.

This will be my good deed for today, 1 spoonfeed.

The tokenomics of the LINK token.

1. Chainlink nodes will be paid in LINK tokens only. There will be conversion tools for people that want to use fiat but will be converted to LINK. at the end of the day only LINK tokens can power the network since the nature of ERC-677 token, built specifically for LINK, is to transfer data.
2. LINK tokens are used as collateral value. Smartcontracts will use Chainlink nodes that carry a % value of LINK to the value of the Smartcontract. So yes, you can start a node without LINK but no one will use it. High value smartcontracts or any contract that has value will use nodes that carry the same or a % of value of LINK.
3. Decentralized networks that are home to smartcontracts will need decentralized data to execute. Chainlink is currently the only option. Thats why you will see everyone in this space partner with Chainlink
So....
Smart contract creators will demand a certain level of reputation or amount of collateral, to be paid in LINK tokens, that suits the value of their smart contract. A $1million bond would require a lot more collateral, than, say a smart contract dealing with $100. You wouldn't select the low rep/low collateral available nodes for something like a huge bond. Chainlink is actually targeting these high value contracts. Sergey has discussed at length why high value contracts in the financial world require a decentralized oracle: it puts all the risk onto the oracle rather than the smart contract creator. The smart contract creator doesn't risk losing money - the node operators do. The Chainlink network is genius like that.
There is infinite amount of collateral available because the token price can rise to meet it.
Now you have to research how large ALL these markets are. derivatives, insurance etc... hint: Trillions.
Is 1000$ really possibly in say the next 3-4-5 years?

Unfortunately only one piece in your genius chain of logic is missing. Why should a company buy into a network with pre inflated tokens and not set up a similar network among business participants (that should be enough nodes for securing decentralization and validity). Chainlink developer's will earn lots of money in the future, because they showed what is possible, but they will do it by setting up similar networks for businesses. The tokens you bought are upfront financing of a great business idea done by enthusiasts, but you honestly think they will have an inherent worth of $15?

Thanks for the actual Helpful reply in a sea of worthless tards.
I guess to me it makes more sense for these smart contracts to get used in small-money situations. You make bet on a vdeo game and the ""oracle"" verifies who wins & pays out.
Unfortunately big money contracts will never really move to Link because it's actuall TOO unaccountable. No big banks would trust a defi network completely beyond any federal control with any real money. But fun idea none the less, and might find real use someday. I agree.

This. Also believing complex business contracts can be translated into a few lines of code is ridiculous. Why would we need lawyers and negotiations today if it was so easy. Smart contracts are a meme believed by nerds lacking any form of business experience. For complex issues they are not applicable, for easy things they are not necessary, or does someone honestly believe a company like amazon would pay pre inflated tokens for simple information like tracking status of delieveries.

You are one of the few anons who got a differentiated opinion towards smart contracts. I really did some research and came to that conclusion. I think for small uncomplicated things they could indeed be applied, but at the same time acceptance of fees in form of tokens would be limited. Also interfaces of companies or programs already deliver similar services. What also needs to be said concerning business to customer: Lots of companies i think wouldn't even want a self executing contract with the end customer. It's calculated profit that a certain amount of reclamations or disputes on quality etc are not paid for because people shy the effort to go to a lawyer. No company would want a self executing smart contract in that case.

Tesla has real cars you can buy and drive. Chainlink is just now talking about developing the network after 3 years of biz shilling the fuck out of it. >>22022034
The price per token being in the top 5 has nothing to do with the tech. Did you personally pump link from 12 cents to $20? No. It took daily shilling and speculation of less than 100 people. Its easy. Buy in early and hodl. As long as you can get the next man to pay more than you, the price will go up.

Who right now is staking link and collecting external data? Fuck the price. If its not working, eventually it will catch up and the price will drop from the sky. Bitcoin works and didnt have an ICO. It wasnt a smart contract with coins already minted from the get go like link.

Decentralization only applies technically not socially. Satoshi didnt hand pick miners, anyone was able to start mining. Bitcoin mining is the more hashes you contribute to solving the nonce, the higher the reward in bitcoins you earn for solving it.

Preselection of node operators on Chainlink proves Link is a centralized company similar to nchain, Blockstream, and any other cryptocurrency project with developers. The Bitcoin software alone is decentralized. Link is not when Ethereum founders also premined ETH.

>> No.22025895

Basically, they should be free to use, and will be. Smart contracts can just look up the price on the exp date, paying a bunch of money to hold onto a token that fluctuates in valu only to spend it to have people send you things they google is basically what chainlink does. There’s a reason no company has gone and copied the open source code and made one that works with any token, because oracles like this arent even needed
