Picking Apart Link Hype

Do you think SWIFT will use LINK?

Checked.

Thoughts on CLCG and Jow Forums FUD ?

To be more specific, is Link being used with GPILink?

Yes. But I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here as to what SWIFT is and how enormous it is of an economic and political entity. SWIFT will use Chainlink for only a few applications initially (such as bond payments). SWIFT will not use Chainlink for any sort of BANK to BANK transactions immediately and those are initially all handled In House using Corda without any sort of decentralized oracle layer.

I think CLCG is an interesting project. I'm not sure what kind of thoughts you'd like me to give. There seems to be a lot of issues regarding the funding of the company and I'm not sure why anyone is making a big deal about it (especially here of all places, where the most inane of shitcoin projects are shilled).

No, not now/initially. There are some items in the roadmap espcially that could benefit by using Chainlink however.

Okay, let's say i wanted to buy some boipussi, but i wanted to make sure it wasn't riddled with AIDS and that it was tight enough to get the job done, if you know what i mean. It doesn't have to be so tight that you see a bit of rectum every out-stroke, but it's just not worth paying for if it's like fucking a bowl of whole wheat spaghetti, right?

So i set up a smart contract, huh? And it's all about how the boipussi gets paid if all the conditions are met. Thing is, this contract's gotta *know* when those conditions are met. Oracles, right? But here's the thing: who's gonna run those oracles? Medical records are already going digital, so the AIDS API should be easy. But will chainlink provide a means for a node operator to provide to the contract just how wide that cunt's gonna be after a good reaming? Or will it incentivize a business to start that a piece of meat will submit its holes to so that a licensed technician can stick a dial micrometer up its ass and get a decent dataset that can generate the force/dilation curve?

And beyond that, what kind of oracle would be required to supply to the contract that my load is dumped firmly past the second anal sphincter? Is that even feasible?

I've only got about 30k, still accumulating. But idk, man, I've got questions about the whole thing.

Just to explain:

The initial implementation of SWIFT GPI is solely for B2B (bank to bank) transactions (not B2C, vice versa, etc). It is an add on to SWIFT NET and the data generated is largely internal. It is great for tracking payments, seding them more quickly, and choosing the most cost effective route in getting a transfer from A to B. However, not all banks are even close to being GPI compliant.

How many link do you hold nigga. And will I make it with 16k. You said this isn’t a price discussion but throw something out there oh mighty one

blyth masters = assblaster ? if so, I love you mummy let me touch milkers

This thread is for people that want to genuinely understand the benefits and limitations of the project. If you solely bought it because you're playing the shitcoin lottery and because it was shilled here and you think it is going to be used for everything by everyone, I didn't really start this thread for you.

Nice

1. What are the chances that another company/project overtakes Link to become the standard decentralized oracle network

2. What is the timeframe of adoption in your opinion and why

3. What do you think of the Samsung rumors (I personally think they are bullshit)

4. In general is this project as important to crypto as biz thinks it is, essentially opening the door for a massive amount of value being attributed to the smart contract framework

Sir, stop

>Yes. But I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here as to what SWIFT is and how enormous it is of an economic and political entity.

why shouldn't use a decentralized layer from the beginning, retarded?

What are the limitations?

1. I think it is very unlikely that another company will overtake ChainLink as a decentralized Oracle because they have a head start regarding networking and financing versus any other company. You have to understand, a lot of this stuff is serious business. I find it funny when people here Shill things like Kleros here because it is a shitcoin project with no industry connections. The world doesn't work like this: Small group of four guys start a project with an interestng idea and huge industries go out of their way to adopt it. These projects need to get in front of a lot of big, important, powerful people to start to be used on a large scale (and the ChainLink team has been rubbing shoulders with people for years).

2. Depends on what you mean by "adoption." I think Chainlink will have some relatively trivial use cases upon Mainnet's release, but I don't think there is going to be a resplendent smart contract environment that changes the world overnight. I think many of ChainLink's most promising and innovating use cases are going to be in the face of much larger legal battles than people realize (i.e.: privatizing certain socialized industries, making changes to HIPAA, etc). I think there are several years of legal battles to be fought and won and I don't think major large scale adoption will take place before 2022 and it may be rapid once industries start blazing a trail of legal precedent.

3. Bull shit

4. I think it is important, yes, but I think it is largely overhyped here mostly because I think people have a very poor understanding as to how ChainLink can even be used. I think there was a time when more people saw the benefits of using ChainLink. However, ChainLink isn't necessary for every Smart Contract and I think a large majority of Smart Contract projects won't use ChainLink and may never use it unless they are forced to due to some sort of oracle security breach.

It's not that it "shouldn't" it is the literal fact that it doesn't. SWIFT GPI isn't using any sort of smart contract infrastructure that needs outside data now.

Well you did a pretty shit job. Let me: Links use case according to its own description is to pay 80% of the tokens to people who upload news data in formats that bots cant interpret, which means that 80% of coins go from the company to the whales who sell them down onto 20% of the market, the idiots buying coins who arent being paid in them.
In otherwords: This is a very simple whale scam, buy in low, collect shekels long term off idiots who were hyped into buying it without even knowing its use case.

In other other words - Link has no value to whales without an army of retards pumping its price up eternally. There is no value to the coin, it doesnt bring in money except from speculation. The coins given to whales dont mean anything, except when idiots buy them.

how do you decentralize a centralized source (oracles) without trusting a third party ?

isnt that the great debate? if the data sources can be actually decentralized or not?

what is the solution for this problem ?

This please. Who gives a fuck about the oracles when I can fuck with the data source. How the fuck do you even digitilize insurance data. How does an oracle know if my house burnt down or my car got fucked?

>Hi IQ
Heh. When LARPs get BTFO in their first word. Actual high IQ (tested twice at 135 as a child and 142 as an adult respectively) here, all in on LINK. AMA.

Will running a node be profitable for small guys like us? Or will it mainly be large institutions

Brainlet here. Why does the ChainLink token need to exist aside from initial funding for the team? Wouldn't it make more sense to use a stablecoin?

Why are you all in on Link

This is true today, though, without decentralization. Nothing can be done about only one data source existing. The value of decentralization is that you can be more confident the input to your smart contract is whatever your single source of data says it is.

I’m going to let this clever genius take over from here since he is clearly so bright and felt the need to put his two cents in before even reading the second post. You are so predictable.

the local services public blockchain will have a record

Umm... If it's on chain... We don't need chainlink ya know?

How do you know this?

Oracles are people who run istances of programs on their computers. The car is equipped with a device for detecting the fire/temperature. The device transmitts to Chainlink network the results. The network automatize the payment.
140 IQ here in RLC, LINK and holo

Umm... you do if the smart contract is on a different chain

So is this shit going to financially change my fucking life or not? Some of us are really dealing with real world problems down here, I kinda want some fuckin money soon :(

I sold my 12Million HOLO last week for more LINK at 11k sats. Im still not sure i made the right move

There are still things that need to be adjusted and tweaked for the adapters but you're 100% correct that it is ready for main net already.

that’s not the value of decentralization

Very Assblaster like imo. Welcome back if it is you. Not feeling comfy with your comments, not overly bullish. Then again, could be a part of the final shakedown. I am keeping my stack, not selling.

What is going on with the BITHUMB link prices, is there manipulation keeping link prices down on binance?

oh god i hate you retards. I genuinly despise you and how dumb you all are.

Sold all my LINK, thanks for looking out for the little guy, don't know what I'd do if i did not have my frens at biz.

I'm a season software engineer just learning about chainLink. Would it be worth my time to setup a chain-link node?

How long does it take to set one up

Should I host it on AWS or AZURE?

"I would say it is 75% likely by the end of April"

1. What makes you think Mainnet is already complete and that April is a possibilty?

and

2. If they are waiting,what are they waiting for?

W-why not 100k?

Thomas foolishly challenged Sergey to a burger eating competition. They bet the outcome on the release of mainnet. Sergey is cocky and knows he can hold back release. Thomas is the young upstart eager to release mainnet. The prediction depends on Thomas's performance at the burger eating competition.
After all this is clownworld and normies don't take it seriously. I mean the fourth industrial revolution began by the outcome of a burger eating competition. Are we savages to you wise user ?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and nigger dick popsicles.

Yes it's easy as piss. Azure if you can, but aws is easier.

why is Azure preferred? average running cost ? thoughts on EaaS?

Attached: 455566.jpg (854x1280, 385K)

He is likely saying Azure is preferred because we need more LINK holders to stake on a different network than AWS. It helps maintain a higher level of decentralization. Average run cost, no one knows yet. EaaS should be ok to use.

no-one going to answer this? really?

Seems OP got annoyed with the retards

>chainlink was created especially for this psd2 shit, right?
Not for it, nah
More so it was built to meet the standards requirements for psd2

psd2 is about apis, no mandate for smart contracts
Likely it will happen in time, but smart contracts are not a requirement of the current directive

At a certain point you have to wonder:

Is it more likely that a bunch of retards that know nothing about banking, finances, smart contracts, or anything really (like those ITT) have stumbled across a trillion dollar project before a bunch of wealthy and brilliant people around the world...

...or is it a completely overhyped project that is too good to be true.

How bigs your link stack now?

Are you here to FUD?

Do I just need to follow the instructions from the chain.link docuements for setting up a node?

In another thread, they were talking about you have to then make deals w/ external apis and some shit?

If it is as simple as following chain.links documentation, ill set one up

You really over complicate it. It’s as simple as blockchain nodes or miners can’t retrieve data from the real world, aggregate and come to consensus. The entire blockchain would come to a screeching halt and fail.

Your not looking at it the right way.

Chainlink is creating a decentralized network that verifys data. Real world data that people can then interpret its answers as THE Truth. Trust less, world powered, stable network for truthful data.

Banking, finance, every industry in the world that will use smartcontracts. Just happens to need something like this.

They don’t provide truth you brainlet, they just provide data that hasn’t been altered by a bad actor on the oracle level.

Why would these gigantic businesses provide their data to the network?

>they just provide data that hasn’t been altered by a bad actor on the oracle level.
exactly, that is the decentralization, that is why it is important, you make the case for LINK yourself

because the network is decentralized you dumb fuck, that is blockchain 101

For profit.

Why is Data siloed? Is a deep multidisciplanary question. Cost, and counter party risk ultimately.

You pay to access their data.
You then monetize the data to anyone who wants to utilize it for a smart contract.

Decentralization is stupid though. No one will want to pay to decentralize data just to centralize it again. Smart contracts are a meme and will remain a meme until blockchain cryptocurrencies are actually used in the real world which will take a long time and ChainLink still won’t be used for many applications.

> hurr durr

And where does the data come from? What happens if these companies don't want to provide the data.

Right. But what incentive would a company like AIG have to provide the data

Who pays to access their data? Chainlink, or the individual node operators? and

> You then monetize the data to anyone who wants to utilize it for a smart contract

is essentially running a node?

>No one will want to pay to decentralize data just to centralize it again.
Huh? Do you understand how smart contracts work?

The companies are in the business of providing the data. The incentive is money. The node operator pays.

Insurance and brokers already do sell data to third parties whom contract with AIG. The incentive to join CL is the dramatic reduction of back end costs to serve and secure such portals, while gaining the elimination of counter-party risks in doing so. Insurance and settlement as a consumer of oracles feeds is a more clear use case. The value of c level execs eliminating the departments responsible for the custodial network security headaches involved in dealing data, is more opaque. The argument for Why SaaS? Is similar. Why doesn't every megacorp have its own oracle department already? Appears to be your question?
