Seriously what the FUCK.
The only nodes available for aggregation on the Chainlink mainnet are ETH price fetchers

yes you heard it right, ETH smart contracts can now fetch data from an external api by calling a chainlink node.
amazing right?
Bentley Gutierrez

Holy shit now ETH smart contracts can parse json this is a GAME CHANGER.
Zachary Martin
this is the 4th industrial revolution

going all in witnet
fuck chainlink
clunky piece of shit

Uh oh pissed stinker haha

LMAO, why the fuck do you even need Chainlink to fetch the ETH price? It can be done just by connecting to a DEX like Kyber
Landon Taylor
>connecting
Yeah, oracles sure are great.
Colton Taylor
Ayden Gonzalez
You don't get it. You don't need oracles to fetch price from Kyber. It's another ETH smart contract.
Alexander Morgan
USD price too?
Hudson Garcia
Yes, the USD price too. Kyber has a thing called DAI, it has the same price as USD.
Brandon Johnson
>DAI
... which uses oracles.
btw, the people behind DAI (MakerDAO) are specifically interested in Chainlink.

Don't you feel silly.
Jeremiah Richardson
DAI oracles are not the same thing as Chainlink oracles, they do not fetch price from Bitfinex, GDAX etc. It's basically glorified voting on what the price is.
Tyler Morales
>DAI oracles are not the same thing as Chainlink oracles
Lmao, yes they are.
Hence why the people behind DAI are explicitly interested in Chainlink.
Joshua Diaz
Chainlink oracles fetch the price through the HTTP protocol in the JSON format. It has nothing to do with how DAI operates.
Jace Martin
You really need to wake up and smell the coffee standard.
DAI's oracles are oracles just like Chainlink oracles are oracles.
Bentley Torres
You don't really understand a word you are saying do you?
Bentley Taylor
Well at some point you're going to have to cope with the fact that DAI uses oracles, and the people behind DAI are specifically interested in Chainlink.
Meaning all the yapping about Kyber is BTFO.
Nicholas Gomez
No, it's just semantics, two completely different things can be called oracles. The purpose of Chainlink is to fetch JSON data through HTTP. This is different from how DAI operates.
Daniel White
>o, it's just semantics, two completely different things can be called oracles.
Not in crypto they can't.
DAI uses oracles in its stablecoin system. Period.
The exact same type of oracles Chainlink provides. Hence why the people behind DAI are explicitly interested in Chainlink.
Parker Thompson
It would only make sense if they fetched data from exchanges like Bitfinex, which they don't.
This is not germane to the matter in question anyway because if your goal is to simply fetch the ETH price via a smart contract, you don't need Chainlink for that, period. You can use the Kyber smart contract and fetch the DAI price which is the same as USD.
Bentley Cruz
>It would only make sense if they fetched data from exchanges like Bitfinex, which they don't.
What?
Oracles can get data from a large multitude of sources, including any API.
You are not making any sense.
>if your goal is to simply fetch the ETH price via a smart contract, you don't need Chainlink for that, period
You do need an oracle if you want to use the fiat price of ETH in a smart contract.
Lincoln James
What the fuck? Anyone can write a script to fetch any price in 3 lines of code. I won't hire an oracle for that.
Hudson Sanders
>You do need an oracle if you want to use the fiat price of ETH in a smart contract.
No you don't, you can use another smart contract (Kyber) inside your own smart contract
Jason Mitchell

>No you don't, you can use another smart contract (Kyber) inside your own smart contract
Well Kyber uses oracles.
So yes you do need an oracle.
Brayden Lewis
But you don't need Chainlink.
Easton Nguyen
So you admit that you do need an oracle.
Good on you, I guess.
