Where are my fellow 186 crowdsale elite bros? Link is correcting, but Linkpool shares holding their ETH price. Number of holders increasing every day, DEX has more volume than some centralized exchanges (Coinmetro). Dividends steadily coming in every 14 days. It feels so comfy holding LP next to a stack of Link.
Inb4 nu-linkers: >What is Linkpool? Some sort of scam that tries to take my 200 Link from me? No, Linkpool is the first, most trusted and currently only Link staking pool, where instead of running your own node, the pool takes 25% of the node earnings and gives you 75% for lending your Link tokens. (This is trustless via smart contract).
>Sounds cool, but why do I need a Linkpool share? Once everyone can run a node, thousands of Link holders will realize that they aren't capable of doing so and will rush to staking pools. Linkpool requires you to hold a bit of LP in order to stake, this is how they deal with the rush. Note that the main purpose of the shares is to distribute earnings. Every penny that Linkpool makes gets distributed among the 4000 shares. So you generate passive income without even staking any Link. LP holders already get biweekly payments right now.
>How do I buy LP shares? Download Metamask, connect your hardware wallet to it and then go to staking.linkpool.io/dex
How much link per month for 1 LP? and whats the USD equivelant?
Dylan Torres
the value goes down for every new node that pops up
Landon Turner
We don't know the numbers yet, as we don't know how many Links you get for running a node. The Chainlink network doesn't pay node operators with inflation, instead data requesters pay node operators for the data they provide.
Currently Linkpool is valued below 2% of Chainlink's total market cap, but they aim to manage about 10% of the network's traffic. The current biweekly payments are coming from one node, that is getting paid by the Chainlink team, as a network heartbeat.
where was the token sale held? how did you anons hear about it originally?
Eli Jones
Back then it was mostly discussed here on biz and in the Linktrader subreddit. That was basically all the outreach that Linkpool had. Jonny wasn't a member of the Chainlink dev team back then, so many feared that he would just run off with the raised ETH. That was the reason why they only managed to raise 700 of the planned 1000 ETH. Kind of funny, that the best ICO of 2018 didn't even sell out.
Again, don't look at the ETH price, instead compare the market cap of Chainlink and Linkpool. Currently LP is at ~2% of Chainlink. That doesn't seem obscene for the largest and most trusted staking pool.
Caleb Sanders
What makes LinkPool so valuable? I have to be honest, I haven't done proper due diligence. Gut feeling tells me green: they have a proper team, Johnny seems legit, they're close to the Link team, the site is clean and BS free. BUT, it feels like a compound bet and it is, first Link has to succeed, then LP has to succeed.
We also don't know all the potential actors yet. There's Coinbase Custody that we know of, kinda. How hard is it to make a stacking pool?
As for gains in the future, all the guestimates so far feel like bs.
Not trying to FUD.
Thomas Ramirez
this is the biggest fud. OP can you respond? Every week a new pool announces Chainlink support. LP has value depending on the dividends but 40 ETH each is insane and only due to fomoing in after mainnet release
Ian Morales
Wrong. The crowdsale wasn’t open to burgers, so it limited who could participate. t. Burger who couldn’t participate in the crowd sale
LinkPool will be successful, anons who got in at a decent price (especially ICO anons) will be very fucking happy, USA holders will likely get btfo eventually or have to figure out a very inventive way to collect earnings once they get serious about KYC (which will happen before major node payouts).
t. salty non LP holder who wishes he had bought in at ICO but was cash poor at the time
Jack Thompson
> USA holders will likely get btfo eventually Nah. 1. You're delusional if you think KYC will be associated with every ETH address. 2. As soon as you have a networth of $1m in Burgerland you're an accredited investor and can purchase whatever you want, even if it's an unregulated security.
Nathan Evans
one the 186 master race here. Never selling by the way
How many LP are in circulation? I want to buy 1 LP and have been waiting for a dip now seems like the right time.
Jack Powell
4000 LP in existence. 1000 are circulating, the rest are held by the team.
Benjamin Martinez
Held, like Jonny lovingly cupping the balls of the stallion he is currently rimming
Jaxon James

Gabriel Wright
>my fellow 186ers can you please have some compassion for us 225ers, it feels bad enough to have missed this already
Charles Rodriguez
If you want to buy a full LP share you should do it before the Coinbase retail buyers find out about Linkpool. The same people that rushed to buy Link at $5 will also rush to buy shares at 150 ETH once staking is open.
Jacob Evans
Imagine defending a team running a pool where you have to pay 48eth to stake 12 link, who will be in competition with 20 other staking pools without an arbitrary token, who still hold and can dump whenever they want 3/4 of this arbitrary token supply, and their founder literally tongue cleans quarter horses chocolate starfishes
Xavier Bell

Nolan Robinson
can someone post the LP marine list. asking for a friend
What if Coinbase Custody offers a staking service as well?
John Morales
++++++++++++++++ Order of linkpool marine list: 3k: Jonny rims horses 0-1k: Broadly in support of horse rimming

Dylan Campbell
Previous custody services required you to own at least $1MM of the asset, so most Link holders won't be able to stake with Coinbase.
Caleb Thomas
So this 1MM asset is Coinbase's way of locking out people...same as Linkpool has LP shares as a way of locking out people. I have over 80k, safe to say that it will be worth 1MM at some point.
at this point it's probably more worth it to spend money on link than linkpool shares desu
Luis Jackson
How much LP should i get? Did i miss the train? Got 11k linkies
Henry Clark
sell 1k link and put it into LP for early staking
Elijah Morris
early staking for 4 link, sure
Camden Kelly
got to get in early champ
Easton Watson
4.8 link staking EOY. THANKS JUST BOUGHT 100K
Luis Peterson
thanks just sold 700k
Jeremiah Harris
Wow, that 700k could have staked 251 link. Are you sure there champ?
Matthew Rodriguez
>he doesn't know Getting valuable requests will be predicated on having a high reputation in the LINK network. Who will have the highest reputations? The early nodes.
Yep, pretty sure that linkpool are the only initial node operators considering staking - oh wait, no, loads are. Linkpool are the only initial node operators considering the taste of a shire horse's rusty sherrif badge.
Easton Morales
user you're the one who's obsessed with horse sex. You post about it every day, for free, in detail. Also other node operators won't be pools because they have enough of their own LINK, or will have requirements like Coinbase Custody. ($1m+)
Jordan Jackson
Not sure slurping on an equine rectum counts as sex, you should probably check with Jonny
Gabriel White

>Rimming is sex user, I...
Elijah Walker
To be fair, LP shares were not created to 'lock out' people. At first it was just a simple deal: linkpool gets funding and in exchange, the shareholders get a cut of the profits. Then after months of literally nothing, they announced that share holders would get priority staking since they were the ones that already put their money where their mouth was, seems fair right? It was only when shares became trustlessly tradeable (at user's request so they wouldnt get scammed) that this whole 'locking out' mechanic started springing into action. People have been misrepresenting the LP guys a lot, painting them like greedy bastards trying to get people to buy into their own 'token' while their actions were quite sincere from the start.
Zachary Rogers
Just wait for them to cut shareholders out of their marketplace profits. Screencap this. Also Jonny rims horses.

That would devaluate the shares of which they own 3000 lmao, they would lose the most value in that scenario. youre dumb, horseman.
Jaxson Sanders
Well you're about to get fucked by your boss, and don't even seem to realise it. I hope whatever linkpool shares Jonny promised you allow you to stake all of your stack of 2.6 link, and I hope you sell you shares before jonny does
Christian Baker
Also this is like saying "THe link team would never sell LMAO" we all kno it;s not true
Juan Lopez

Levi Myers
>in competition with 20 other staking pools without an arbitrary token Firstly other pools will set a waiting list, which is even worse, otherwise their profit will be lower in order to satisfy the damn high demand.
Secondly, LINKPOOL allows every node to become a pool
Their only source of income *is* the passive payouts from their shares, if they sell they are retarded (they aren't)
Hunter Garcia
Thanks for taking time away from slobbering all over Dobbin's exhaust pipe to clarify this Jonny.
Alexander Diaz
No, they can sell their shares and they probably will if LP really takes off and they need to expand like the chainlink team. But thats still too far off to worry about, in my opinion. For lp to succeed right now its way more important that chainlink actually becomes a properly used and decentralised network. Also, the LP team dumping their shares doesn't affect my own dividends at all so theres not really any reason to panic over this.
Daniel Reed

Ian Cooper
Works even better than I hoped. Yes user, you will make it.
Honestly I swear to Christ if anons only knew the heap of shite that is that infrastructure, I've been tidying up the mess he left for about 9 months in the company I'm contracting with in London >smallish market for devops with Cloudformation Most days I witness stupid decisions, only to do a git blame and see that faggot Jonny's name all over the commits. Honestly can't believe anyone is investing in this instead of buying more LINK, there's a good reason his code isn't open source, he doesn't want you to see how trash it is
Chase Garcia
It means linkpool is potentially becoming the google of the chainlink network. Bringing together every component from information providers to end users.
Jordan King
Didnt find marketplace
Landon Gray
Thank you
Oliver Lee
marketplace profits go into the owners contract, theyve said as much
He's shitting you. You probably won't see significant returns for .04 LP for a few years at least. Nevertheless it might be a good investment once people realize how hard it is to operate your node
Jack Stewart
Thanks, It sucks to be a poorfag and having missed the original boat 2 years ago.
Asher Butler
Don't worry, we're in the same boat. Best we can do is go with the flow and hopefully be smart enough to sell on ATH in the next bullrun and then buy back in
Nolan Turner
Ideally you have both, if you don't plan to run your own node. Even 0.04 LP lets you stake before people without shares can.
Parker Reed
>Again, don't look at the ETH price, instead compare the market cap of Chainlink and Linkpool. Currently LP is at ~2% of Chainlink. Plenty of other pools will allow staking with out a LP share. Paying 48eth for something that isnt even live is dumb.
Connor Reyes
How does that work and how do I get in? Sorry if that was already answered, I can't read through rn.
Jaxson Bell
by this logic putting any money into altcoins is dumb (and you may be right)
Hunter Perez
>How does it work Linkpool is the largest, most trusted and currently only staking pool for Chainlink. In the not too distant future everyone will be able to run a node and start earning more Link, however most people won't be capable and they will try to join a pool. Staking pools take a cut of the node earnings, (25%9 and give the rest to the people that lent their tokens to the pool.
>How do I get in All you need to do to be ready for staking is to buy a little bit of LP. Download Metamask, connect your hardware wallet to it and go here: staking.linkpool.io/dex
Isaiah Clark
LP nodes will pretty much be the 'default' official nodes of any types of API data. Yes there will be many third-parties but this will be the only nodes directly connected to Chainlink official team.
Not all APIs will be open, some will select a few trusted node operators only
Samuel Rogers
They've already taken away the DEX fees. Goodbye income strands. Hello scam.
Juan Morales
Can I do that as a burger?
Julian James
This, most people on this board couldn't keep a pet alive if they tried and they think they're going to be able to run a node securely? They'll get lazy, forget to replace their UPS battery, and one power outage will cost them their stack.
