Chainlink minority node attack to get your staked LINK

>Requestors get node stake given to them if nodes provide data that deviates from the majority. Github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/wiki/Protocol-Information#sa-creation (part 6.)

>Requestors can select nodes they want to use at will.

Why wouldn't nodes just collude and create contracts for the purpose of stealing other nodes staked LINK?

The attacking nodes can all just agree on a different data source that deviates from the accurate result. The contract creator selects the attacking nodes manually and a couple good nodes to take LINK from. The good nodes bring the accurate result, but as its in the minority of results it doesn't matter.

They lose their stake to the contract creator. Repeat at will, take staked LINK from all over the network.

What's preventing this? If anything.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT! ESPECIALLY COLLECTIVE POSITIVE THOUGHT!

THIS SHIT IS GOING TO REACH $1,000 EASILY!
HOLD THAT THOUGHT AND VISUALIZE IT IN YOUR MIND EVERYDAY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE STARTING NOW AND IT WILL MANIFEST INTO REALITY. DO IT! I'M NOT JOKING!

VISUALIZE AS OFTEN AND AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE!

delet

you just found one of the many exploitable bugs in this scam.

You dont have to fulfill requests and youwould require an unreasonable number of nodes to overturn the balance.

By now if you haven't realized this scam is pure vaporware you're never gonna make it.

Didn't read, never selling

>reputation
Ah, the reputation system vaguely mentioned in the whitepaper which doesn't even exist after 2 years and no one knows how it will work.

Reputation is given by the contract creators, not nodes to contract creators. The contract creator in this case IS the attacker, using whatever nodes wanted regardless of reputation. And a couple good nodes to rob.

It's decentralized nigga so you can't attack it

The sensible answer is that contract creators shouldn’t be able to pick individual nodes. That should be a purely automated process decides by the service agreement layer.

now that is what i call fud

>imagine the waste of time
do yall neet or work or just mentally masturbate to hypothetical vapor tech all day

link failing would mean 4channel was wrong, which is impossible.

>link failing would mean 4channel was wrong
Nah. It would mean 4channel was right for a time given the available information.

go back to redit shitbird

Service agreements aren’t a thing yet though so this entire thread is hypothetical.

is this 2017 all over again?

this, there should be criteria set then nodes that fit this criteria get automatically selected at random. I think this might exist alongside manual selection. But it should be only automatic to prevent this issue.
