2012 seems so far away
Getting into crypto just because I couldn't find a good dealer over the first months and it was too hot to grow. Shitposting with DPR1 and Ross in the Silk Road Forum, discussing with Backopy about how to transfer DNMs to i2p too maker them more resilient, shitting on monero on bitcointalk just for the sake of it, laughing about XRP and its centralized bullshit, reading Lucifs cryptic messages and starting to understand what it is all about, trolling Charlie and getting LTC for doing so, making drag mad together with Tarrant in the box... Fuck I wish I could turn back time to the good old days.

have sex

And the most hilarious thing, the internet hasn't changed a bit, projection is still the most common ad hominem

imagine if the internet went down if more than 6 people per second tried to connect to it.

Have you made it? If so, why do you still lurk here?

then maybe you would have sex

How many people do you know are using Bitcoin to purchase their goods day in and day out? It still isn't accepted worldwide to do e-commerce and make purchases like cash or using a credit card is. Heck, the damn thing still doesn't scale enough to be used like a Visa card. More blockchain development is ongoing now than ever, but it's one big pump and dump market. Nothing else. Wait for the regulations and ETF's. Wait for your grandma to actually know how to use their crypto. Wait for when dApps are used to do business and access programs instead of legacy ones.

Bitcoin and crypto haven't touched the surface of what they can be for the financial world.

for networth % of population adoption doesn't matter. btc will take over about 50% of wealth stored in the world. it's estimated between 0.5-2 trillion dollars. currently it's around 0.02%.
there are plenty of 10Xes left in crypto.

>did the package arrive
should every ups guy get followed by a group of independent oracles? it's kind of pointless if every oracle just uses the same courier api.
>what's the cost of a barrel of oil
again, it's just using common public apis. just grab it from google lmao. this doesn't have to be decentralized.
>what was the rainfall at this location
again, all oracles have to trust the guy who actually gathers the data
>legacy systems payments
just let the banks themselves handle that

>all oracles have to trust the guy who actually gathers the data

if youre going to use this argument one time, why not just use it every time
assuming that data providers as a whole are providing false information just completely breaks any system reliant on data in the entire world

holy fuck what should i buy instead

Its about the triggers, and the automation
If the trigger is an API both parties trust, they agree this ahead of time, then an oracle needs to get that agreed API trigger on-chain and into the contract.

Does party A run the oracle, or party B.
How about we leave the triggering of the contract to a trustless layer of independent nodes. Same with a bank payment. Instead of trusting party A to pay when the good arrive, the value is paid into the smart contract, and the funds only released when appropriate predefined logic is complete and payment triggered

data providers have always been the weakest link. inserting a middle man that delivers information from the data providers to businesses won't change that.
>Instead of trusting party A to pay when the good arrive, the value is paid into the smart contract, and the funds only released when appropriate predefined logic is complete and payment triggered
"when the goods arrives" means "when usps marks the package as shipped" in practice. you still have to trust a third party. if you're concerned about the entity providing the api being untrustworthy, then just use google or aws. they can provide the same service cl does (transmit data from rl databases to the blockchchain) are will probably be much cheaper.

If you can’t answer that question by looking at marketcap alone you fail to understand bitcoin and the markets it is penetrating.

>transmit data from rl databases to the blockchchain
Using an oracle? Who runs the oracle
Lol. Fucking hell some people are brainlets

Those numbers seem high too. I suspect that the survey was skewed toward a younger and more tech-savvy crowd than a true random sampling of the population.

why use a decentralized oracle and pay 20 entities when you could just pay one? everyone uses the same data source anyways.

Trust vs trustless/tamperproof
You are arguing against decentralisation right now

>90% of all btc that will ever be mined held in .4% of wallets
>early

Audibly kek'd

Now I feel like a late USD adopter.

you are already trusting the original data provider (e.g. ups). every single oracle will use their database. that's not exactly trustless.
besides, decentralization is overrated anyways. corporates trust centralized data providers like google or amazon all the time. companies would rather pay $0.002 and trust google than pay $2.42 and trust the consensus of 20 oracles.
>he doesn't understand the projects he invests in
never going to make it

Fucking IOTA always honey for newfags, utterly disgusting

>trust google
Where does google get the fucking info from? And let's say they do use google, how do we know that that data source is not being tampered with? Obviously some scenarios like the NFL scores are going to be hard to use decentralized consensus for since they are proprietary, but how do we get info of something like the price of oil to a smart contract, and in doing so do it in a decentralized and tamperless manner?

A ton of those are dormant for years and assumed to be lost. And even more are exchange wallets.

Nobody knows the true distribution, but if you take away lost wallets and exchange wallets, it's not nearly as skewed.

address number cant matter right. robinhood fags have no unique addresses, grayscale investors dont, most people dont even move coins off exchanges

thanks just sold 100k link
what a scam

what a nerd, shut the fuck up, you know nothing about the business world

>Where does google get the fucking info from?
the same sources cl oracles get their info from. other databases, public apis and maybe even private auditors.
>And let's say they do use google, how do we know that that data source is not being tampered with?
how do cl oracles know? they're just transmitting content from the original providers (the people who actually go outside and create the data) to the blockchain. if you're talking about google being tampered with, you're deluded. the likelihood of that happening is so incredible low that companies will comfortably rely on them for multimillion dollar transactions - google has zero incentives to endanger their business by illegally tampering with contracts between two third parties, and their cybersecruity is basically unbreakable.
>Obviously some scenarios like the NFL scores are going to be hard to use decentralized consensus for since they are proprietary, but how do we get info of something like the price of oil to a smart contract, and in doing so do it in a decentralized and tamperless manner?
by paying an independent oracle to grab data from the api of various exchanges? both cl oracles and google can do that, and both have the same incentive to not mess with the data.the difference is that google is a thousand times cheaper.
companies aren't paranoid enough to blow up their accounting expenses because they mistrust google.

So why aren't all these literal who projects just using Google as their API source instead of partnering with Chainlink? It would be a lot easier for them to do that yet they partner with stinky?

You sound like pic related. I suggest you get a suicide stack in case stink actually manages to do what they set out to do so you don't do an hero.

>how do cl oracles know?
They don't know. It is just provable. And if they provide shitty data they get punished. Who punishes goolag if they provide tampered data?

>So why aren't all these literal who projects just using Google as their API source instead of partnering with Chainlink?
because "blockchain" is the hot new buzzword. partnerships doesn't mean mandatory usage - companies can appear hi-tech and advanced by partnering with a "blockchain" developer without actually using their product.

accidentally hit "reply" to early. i can't just end this without mentioning that you just almost verbatim used a classic shitcoin cope. just because one coin mooned once doesn't mean that you favourite token will.
the public finds out that they provide unreliable data and switches to sap/amazon instead? they have an incentive to be as accurate as possible.

Not sure how new you are, but when anons fucked with goolag through adnausseum and click scripts, goolag just got away with it. If you don't get why decentralized oracles punishing the node operator automatically by having him provide a collateral, and why centralized oligarches will get away with manipulating data, stop posting and do more research.

more like
>i think your coin is bad
>that's what people said about eth when it was a dollar
it's a complete non-argument that can be applied to literally every coin in existence.
decentralized oracles won't solve the faulty data problem either - in fact, they only make it worse. if one node operators notices that he receives fraudulent data and corrects it, but everyone else just accepts it, he gets punished while the others get away with it. consensus isn't automatically truth.
also , we're talking about a contract between two independent entities here, not between google and another entity. google has nothing to gain and everything to lose by fucking with the data they transmit.

You are a retard. Sell your LINK and buy XRP

Smells like dec 2017 in here
