Intel SGX trusted enclaves and the chainlink network can perform secure computational work off chain.
For enterprises who are thinking about having onchain contracts and also having separate, private and scalable contracts offchain. He mentions how much more cost effective this would be for massive amounts of data points.
Chainlink will truly be a middleware computational layer, not just a data relayer.
about Sergey Nazarov: Sergey has played a pioneering role within the DLT community by spearheading several “next-gen” components. Before co-founding IOTA, he created Nxt, which was one of the very first projects to go beyond the focus of Bitcoin with added functionality on the blockchain. He was also one of the pioneers behind the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, being the first to implement full Proof-of-Stake. Sergey also co-founded a stealth distributed computing hardware IP company with David Sonstebo back in 2014, which was the precursor for the IOTA project.
Christian Harris
Wrong sergey
Carter Rodriguez
so why would you still need a contract if you are doing computations off chain? Trying to think of the use case.
Adrian Bennett
Post the talk from today faggot. Sergey literally expalined more today than he ever has before and none of you faggots have seen it.
Bentley Brooks

Josiah Lopez
Wait I thought it was later on tonight
Landon Foster
at this point im just ready to have every one of us sign up to be a namefag. these chainlink fudders are out of control and the mods do nothing. this place is almost dead, these discord groups will be the nail in the coffin.
They turned the lights off so we could see the screens and Sergey joked that we preferred sitting in the dark because that's how we do things at homes. Nearly every t-shirt on the table was an XXL too. I didn't notice any cameras recording the workshop or get the impression they wanted it shared online.
Hudson Nelson
Chainlink is love. Chainlink is life.
Eli Gonzalez
so, a cheaper and secure version of GNT? Maybe a platform for FaaS for DApps?
The array of offerings Chainlink will support keeps growing. we really are gonna make it frens
Charles James
I havent seen it obviously. If you have then post it dipshit.
someone with better understanding could probably answer this better. But, im guessing Chainlink decentralized oracles could act as a childchain and do the heavy lifting so that Eth mainchain could scale better?? Thats my best guess.
Joshua Brooks
not a childchain but a side-chain.
Lincoln Green
Ethereum is there to trustlessly compute/execute the terms of the smart contract and record what happened in the ledger. It isn't there to transform information.
Nathan Long
ChainLink the engine while eth the settlement layer and provides the smart cotnract logic. Thoughts?
Samuel James
Chainlink is the computer, and Ethereum is the internet. Both equally important.
Julian Williams
Watch the video. Sergey said that companies who are implementing smart contracts (like in the actual real world) split them in to on-chain and off-chain components. Anything you need to keep private should be done off-chain, and then either en encrypted or boolean response can be sent on-chain. It’s fucking brilliant.
Robert Barnes
agreed
gas costs are based on the difficulty of the computation. Chainlink will be able to do it cheaper, and secure (TEE) off-chain, with a way to write it straight back on-chain
it's pretty genius
Carson Williams
>n either en encrypted or boolean
So basically RIP Enigma (ENG).
Got a link to that video?
Brody Morris
The presentation yesterday made it clear to me that I had underestimated this project, and I was bullish.
Nicholas Ortiz
Enigma still has a use case, perhaps not with chainlink though. The video is linked on chainlink’s official reddit.
William Thomas
Is this new?
I thought this was obvious.
The interesting thing is that this is exactly what I thought the changing business at a DNA level guy or maybe the Microsoft cryptlets dude mentioned- that the view of the people at Microsoft is that the key to scaling blockchain performance is to move the computation off the chain and just write the results to the blockchain. I think one of them mentioned the traditional three-tier architecture as an example of what they were thinking of as the right approach.
But even then, it was obvious that chainlink could fit in there.
So I'm still not sure what is new about this.
Noah James
Chainlink + town cryer + intel sgx = enigma completely and utterly fucking destroyed.
Watch the presentation, you'll understand what I'm talking about. They were saying they don't need chainlink, well shit, it's the other way around. The world doesn't need enigma if chainlink can accomplish what they're trying to do.
Nolan Smith
Guys, ChainLink is going to go very mainstream. Enjoy these days while they last. Normies are coming
William Ortiz
>thinks that thats the total posts ever by that IP
Luke Russell
This is why Ekiden is actually legit fud.
Chainlink's smart contract execution may be even more commonly used than its oracle functionality... Now imagine people use Ekiden for that.
Evan Davis
>Normies are coming yeah, i get that feeling too. it's gonna be fucking brilliant!
Nicholas Martin
I agree, but enigma may have use on some other projects.
Asher Cox
Ekiden is unironically the only actual fud for chainlink and it’s never mentioned. I think the first mover advantage for chainlink is huge though, it’s super important in business
Literally no. They're trying to bank on "secret computation", but intel sgx and town cryer can do that, and more.
Enigma would have 0 use cases if chainlink accomplishes what it's trying to do.
Along with Metcalfe's law, enigma = completely fucked project, only used by snobby teachers that have always lived in ivory towers, and know nothing about real life.
Carson Brooks
What gets me is I asked about Ekiden in the chainlink telegram and got banned.
I posted a question and a follow-up question and Rory accused me of trying to fud by replying to myself because nobody responded... Like dude, it's late at fucking night. I have a new thought and I want to get it in so that people will address both when the day starts.
So it's an actual competitor for a major chainlink use case, built in collaboration with one of chainlink's key advisors, and you can't even ask about more than a single superficial question about it on the telegram without getting banned.
People think getting off chain data onto the chain will be a huge thing- and that's huge. But being the preferred platform for off chain smart contracts (which is how smart contracts will be executed) would be just as huge. It just seems like it might be a slightly easier thing to implement at first.
William Davis
Yeh I agree I just don’t like absolutes. I’ve never owned any ENG and never will.
Juan Sanchez
You got to think a competitor will emerge. It's natural. But having big connections like LINK does and first mover advantage will be huge in something complicated like this.
Chase Morris
From a business standpoint, the synergies that exist in using chainlink for getting data on chain and executing smart contracts will be a massive selling point. Plus, the company is called SmartContract. I’m not too worried about Ekiden because they are years behind in development, have only part of the offering Chainlink does and so far hasn’t progressed past the whitepaper. If anything, it’s bullish that smart groups like this are seeing value in what chainlink is close to delivering.
Luke Perry
BASED STEVE
Brayden Roberts
I see it as an academic project only. The results and findings of which will be used to benefit chainlink
Dude I'm watching it right now. I've always thought Serg was a sort of big brain, but not mega brain. I'm starting to think he might be a mega brain.
Aiden Roberts
;)
Luke Hernandez
yes i have a small hedge with RLC
Luke Hughes
Riddle user here. In short you could say Ethereum is used by Chainlink. Solidity smartcontracts are very useful, that's why Sergey's network uses Ethereum. But in the end a contract is only a contract without actionable data and the action to be proceeded. Chainlink is unironically bigger than Ethereum. In the future normies will 'Chainlink' data, computations and contracts, IT people will use and talk about 'Ethereum' and 'Solidity'. The truth is out there.
Jayden Watson
>11346420 assblaster here, i would not be surprised if we pass the 3 $ mark end of may 2018
What it is used for is massive calculations (AI complexity calculations) on trusted hardware environment with final results to be executed in the smart contract. You wouldn't want all those calculations to be executed to the blockchain it would get clogged up. Just execute the final results.
Austin Phillips
where do you see chainlink going in 2019? 100$ possible in 2019 or is it more of a 2020/21 hold
Which brings me to my next point trent is a key figure to watch if you are interested in links dealing w/ web3 stack. i have some more to post but depending if you guys are up ill wait a big.
Gavin Sullivan
EOY 2019 price target is $10-$15. 2020-2021 we have the halvening and maybe a new speculative bubble, which is when we see $100+.
Levi Carter
Fire away based drunk user. I’ll crack open a furphy myself.
Brody Sanchez
When are you going to set up a tripcode?
Christopher Clark
Too late sirgay RLC has this shit on lock and the chops to pull it off
Sebastian Evans
All ears drunkanon. What's the web3 stack supposed to do?
Luis Peterson
>dude check out these upcoming events they are going to be big And now you tell anons to ignore them.. Fail larp 0/10
Carter Nguyen
I'll prob take of soon but will share some stuff. Some may not be new to all but its helps provide background on my info.
you'll notice the author is a familiar face. Bart Cant, who started fiatrelay and now works w/ IBM blockchain/financial. Sergey and others are quoted in this work.
The recent news of hyperledger and ethereum partnering up is bigger than you think. They need to create standardization in framework...including smart contracts.
IBM wants legal smart contracts (Bart and Brian w/ IBM) have known sergey for years. They understand chainlink is the best oracle to externally connect. IBM partners with Clause whose Accord Project partners with Chainlink. More smoke and mirrors
Angel Parker
Every event is big. Every time you put Sergey in front of other devs or companies its big.
Do you know much about the recent standards work in Australia? If not, look in to Phillips Ryan’s work recently. Where she was and who she is in contact with.
Ethan Wright

Gabriel Edwards
pump it
Robert Jones
Thanks drunkie!
Asher Brown
7 minutes in Sergey goes for Oraclize using more emotive language than usual.
"because realistically I can tell you quite simply, If you make an externally connected contract this is going to be the attack vector"
He better bring the fight with him to Prague and fucking slay Oraclize
Brehs. How are you posting in a Link thread in October of 2018 without knowing the first thing about what an oracle is?
Hudson Nguyen
Pls don’t drink so much. Ur a cutie
Luis Taylor
To add to Drunk anons stuff here is my meetup research showing that Bart Cant has known the team for years in person.
This list all heard Steve Ellis (smartcontract.com) give a chat about RAFT concensus mechanisms in December 2015
Look how many big names are below:
Meetup NYC Concensus Mechanism: =============================== - Toby Algya *Block Trust* - Chris Bennett, CFA *Manager, Corporate Strategy at S&P Global - Justin Stewart *Cherrypick* - R Benson Evans *CentralBitcoins* - Dominique Godefroy *Marlabs (Head of Cybersecurity using Fabric)* - Ivan Brightly *Solid X Coincube Galaxy Digital* - John Newbery *Chaincode Labs* - Neehaarika Velavarthy *American Express* - Bart Cant *Capgemini and IBM* - Muneeb Ali *Blockstack Y Combinator Princeton U* - Erik Anderson *Bloomberg W3C Payments* - Meltem Demirors *World Economic Forum and MIT media Lab now Coinshares* - Igor Lilic *Consensys Cellarius Blackcomb* - Ryan Shea *Blockstack Co founder* - Subhankar Aich *Microsoft Senior Dev* -Sokhna Vor *Datameer Advanced Analytic Services* - Theo Chino *System Admin at Time Warner Cable* - Jack Parkin *Bitwage* - Thomas D *ItBit* - Travis Scher *Digital Currency Group (Formerly at Skadden)*
also this, millions of users for smartcontracts who uses chainlink allready confirmed!
also i'm going to be at web3, what should i look for
Isaiah Lewis
Anyone got the two hours of video from the event yesterday?
Landon Edwards
Nobody is coughing it up
Julian Smith
Not this burger. Another day, another positive news story. As time goes on it really is exciting to see how many people will be using this tech, whether they will interact with it in an indirect or direct fashion. As for web3 it would be great if you could stream/record Sergey. I have no idea what kind of individual coverage will be there but no one has a video from his 2 hour workshop yesterday and that would have been really nice to see. As long as someone is there to give us the experience that would be great. i'm sure others will have other suggestions
normally web3 will be livestreamed so will be better then my potato video skills
Benjamin Reed
Big mac leftovers. Follow the trail, user. Pick up the crumbs and share them with us.
