is it assumed that "those we work with" will be revealed at the same time as mainnet?
i'm confused as to how large partners will be able to use the network at all when it goes live, won't there be almost 0 node operators on day 1?
I just don't know to what extent companies are already using the network vs waiting for release before doing anything significant and something tells me the blogpost won't address this at all
Austin Clark
My guess is that they are probably revealed in a steady trickle not all at once
Christopher Reed
I am waiting for that scammer to dump 300 mil tokens on us
Henry Rogers
Not partners, users.
Henry Lewis
no big partners are using this shitcoin just small companies like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Intel, SWIFT, and other nonames will use chainlink. if you want project with real partners like BMW or H&M you have to buy VeChain. The only legit project out there.
Dominic Richardson
This has always been my biggest fear. Unless big (and I do mean BIG) partners start using it big from the very beginning, this will dump like the rest.
Angel Nelson
how would they even use the network right away?
There won't be enough node operators on day 1 of mainnet to do anything meaningful, and i'm assuming it will take some time for node operators to spin up and do their tasks smoothly
unless youre telling me chainlink already has node operators lined up + users ready to immediately start on May 30, which seems ridiculous

Based and thorhammer pilled

I was writing here but realise it's pointless you're in for a surprise then if you think there's no users (or node operators) on mainnet launch..
Asher Stewart
I don't doubt that there are users, if by users you mean companies/parties REQUESTING data for their smart contracts
I doubt that there will be a robust enough NODE OPERATOR network to serve all of these users in the near future, considering there are currently 0 and everyone will take a while to figure things out/how to navigate the risk of operating a node
its not hard to understand
Hudson Campbell
Hehe, totally
Christian Edwards
>how would they even use the network right away? Ever noticed they are anti-hype. Ever imagined they signed NDAs with (((them)))
Brayden Campbell
oh yea because we've not had a fucking year of testnet to figure this stuff out
Carson Torres
I guarantee there are less than 100 people in this world who understand how to run a chainlink node properly
Chase Wood
what on earth do you mean by properly? literally just follow the steps in their docs even for a brainlet you'll have a node up in 15 minutes you're not driving a helicopter
Justin Ramirez
Stop speculating and wait for a blog post...
Ryan Walker
Did he state a date/time for that?
Elijah Roberts
today or tomorrow
Ethan Scott
Any substantial users?
Luis Wilson
If you're not all in LINK already you're an idiot, and if you are all in then it doesn't matter. You'll find out in 10 days.

I am sure that Chainlink has set up at least 5 large nodes under their supervision and control and that partners are already using them. After the mainnet launch they will continue to do that and then new node operators will be slowly added with time. By the Q4 we should have enough large reputable node operators to call Chainlink fully decentralized.
Jaxon Lewis
Ah I remember these times. Long long ago...
Jason Harris
Are you running a mjolnir node, I use Loki to ragnarok my vechain to my mjolnir node but am thinking of using Freya instead
William Cooper
For one, LinkPool will be up and running as well as a lot of people who've been testing on testnet for a year. Don't be retarded. Why would they launch mainnet without anyone using it? What would be the point of testnet?
Andrew Cruz
Sounds like a good plan. Thanks Thomas
Zachary Baker
I prefer heimdal
Cooper Perez
ill eat my own dick and balls if a chainlink team member has ever posted on biz before, larpers
Kevin Williams
properly = / = successfully
Isaiah Lewis
Rory and Thomas are here all the time. Have you missed the weekly AMA sessions?
Hunter Phillips
and this is why partners won't be announced alongside mainnet but only once there are a fair amount of nodes up
Selling into the the main net launch is dangerous. Even if we don't get any new major partners, a ton of the circulating supply will move away from exchanges and go into nodes. >Why run a node when there is very few network activity and low returns? That is where the 350 million Link come in, that the team has reserved for network incentives. It will be very profitable to run a node from day 1. Once people realize they can make money running a node, the network will slowly get more and more node operators until the returns reach a point a "normal level" (maybe 5-10% annual).
They won't. There is very little demand for smart contracts today and chainlink isn't going to change that overnight. It will dump just like every other coin in history. If you think smart contracts will gain mainstream adoption in the future then that is a good buying opportunity for you.

Stop blog posting and just wait for the speculation.
