Enigma is still solid even after the scamming/hacking.

Kyber obviously. The Chinese are going crazy over it. Demand is insane.

Chainlink will basically fill a void with every banking transaction with crypto. They're already partners with Swift which is incredible.

I've been getting a lot of inquiries about Chain Link being a scam because of how quiet and inactive on social media they are. I think they are in stealth mode, are in stealth mode, and don't want to draw too much attention to their ICO. They may be aiming to raise entire funds via pre-sale if I am to speculate. Metal Pay and Rialto have done similar things.

I don't think they are a scam based on this evidence.

Hai hai!~

So I've been looking into ChainLink for the past few days (ever since someone mentioned it on the discords). And you know what? I'm really interested! If what I'm reading is right (still waiting on the white paper though, sadly...), then this thing links external off-chain resources to the blockchain.

What does this mean? Well, right now, smart contracts can't be executed on things happening "off" the blockchain. Say my house suffered flooding because of a hurricane. I'm insured, but I would have to wait awhile for the insurance company to verify everything before I get my payment. But what if there was a way to make it so that in case flooding, sensors would detect this, relay the information, and trigger a smart contract that would immediately pay out money to my bank account? Or another example, say that that I missed a payment on my leased car. A smart contract could activate, making impossible for me to start or even open the car until I pay up the money.

In other words, if you solve the "middleware" issue, then this could change how entire industries work. This could be HUGE~

In addition, these guys have a working prototype (always nice to see when compared to projects with just proof-of-concepts), are partnered up with SWIFT (basically the incumbent giant messaging network used by banks which blockchain threatens to destroy with its very existence), the World Economic Forum (ie world leaders, business leaders, and big money: the annual forum), Cornell's specialized tech school, and more. AND just yesterday they're adding an advisory board with heavy hitters:

Anyways, with ChainLink, people set up nodes that act as individual data/payment providers (Like SWIFT) and create single oracles for use in dapps. In exchange for this, they node operators get paid in LINK tokens for the data access they provide to smart contracts. So the token does have utility!

Even though the white paper isn't out yet (it's being peer reviewed), I don't think I can miss this opportunity. Especially since the token distributes right after the ICO (0x, anyone?).

The problem is that I'm a bit short on funds and can't meet the 100 ETH min needed to enter into the pre-sale (with that 20% bonus they're offering!). I mean I could, but there are some other cool ICOs coming up. So I'm thinking about reaching out to real life friends and associates. That way we can pool our money together and buy in (it would also help with the restrictions on US investors). Hoping that goes well and we can get the ball rolling by tomorrow! Otherwise, I'll miss the bonus wait until the ICO.


Oh, and I suppose you can consider this the unofficial start of ICO Festival everyone! We've got a lot of cool deals coming in, so spend your money wisely!~

ChainLink

Has proof of concept, partners with SWIFT who is the dominant force in the financial sector in what they do, their main purpose is to bring actual real world value to smart contracts by applying it to the real world applications instead of memecoins and shit tokens.

Kin

Has a shitty distribution, but the first token from a billion dollar valuated company, going to be using it on Kik, connection with Tencent who owns WeChat. Enough said right there.

Enigma

Yeah no shit about the hack, but 20 million USD worth has already been distributed to relative big dogs who invest in crypto, if you don't think these dudes are looking at min 5x-10x gains on a concept like Enigma you are retarded.

Avalon sounds alright kinda like Gilt/Jetsetter concepts when they came out, but there are real world applications already that do it incredibly well because these "exclusive" deal shits are all over the place.

I have extra room in my Chainlink pre-sale alotment.

I would take 20% of your LINK tokens, so you get the same amount as if you'd participated in the full crowdsale but you're guaranteed tokens versus hoping to get into the public one.

This could easily go 10x, maybe 15-20x. This is a token/oracle combination that lets blockchain interface with SWIFT, the platform that lets all banks talk to each other.

This is a rocket pointed at the moon.

I'm ready for September. Are you?

In September there are three MASSIVE, MASSIVE PROJECTS.

First is Chainlink. They are working with SWIFT to have their system talk to the banking system. If I send money from JPMorgan to BoA, it goes through SWIFT. Think about the implications for the future of smart contracts for a moment. [PUBLIC SALE SEPTEMBER 7']

The second is Khyber Network. Endorsed by Vitalik. It's to get merchants into crypto. User pays in any altcoin, merchant gets ETH. Think about spending your gains on products delivered right to your door rather than having to convert to fiat and withdraw it. It's the next stage of the crypto economy, it bridges crypto and the marketplace of goods and services without involving fiat money. Pretty huge. [REQUIRES WHITELISTING, CROWDSALE SEPTEMBER]

Last (longshot for most, I suspect) is Science Blockchain. Going to invest in startups in the blockchain space, and use profits to rebuy Science tokens. Run by same people who took Dollar Shave Club to a buyout from Unilever for 1 billion. You're definitely buying into this with the expectation that it might be a medium term hold (as they themselves state in their Telegram). [CROWDSALE IN SEPTEMBER, US INVESTOR NEEDS 250k, REST OF WORLD 50k]

If you can band together and partner with someone who's whitelisted, you can get your tokens in and get some big gains.These are all pretty major. Talk about feeling comfy (pic related).

I wish you well.

So I pretty started researching ICO’s fulltime and while totally neglecting my PhD... buuut the 10x gains on DNT and 4x on CAT were worth it so far. Looking back, those were just lucky guesses but now I am way more confident with my picks so I will share them with you. My top 3(4) ICO’s


1. Chainlink

>https://smartcontract.com/link

Chainlink is is the first decentralized oracle network; allowing smart contracts secure access to external data, off-chain payments, and other API capabilities. ChainLink operators provide their services to smart contracts for LINK tokens.

In our private investors groups on telegram/discord we managed to fill up 3 pools each worth of 300 ETH within one day.

Corporate enterprise blockchain. Honestly not really to be used for you shitheads. Kinda like how ChainLink is gonna be used by SWIFT and big time corporate shit with real money.

They already turned down an offer for IBM, which blows my fucking mind desu. I'll find the source for this later if you don't believe me

SmartContract.com has already acquired industry leaders in financial technology as paying customers for its revolutionary blockchain middleware technology. SWIFT, the leading global provider of secure financial messaging services, is working with the company to create its own SWIFT Smart Oracle, which will allow smart contracts on various networks to make payments, send governance instructions, and release collateral with more than 11,000 banks. After completing a successful phase 1 implementation in May, the details of which are set to be announced at the upcoming SIBOS conference, SWIFT has continued to work with SmartContract.com towards a Phase 2 Implementation.Gartner, one of the world’s largest technology research and advisory firms, has selected SmartContract.com as a 2017 Blockchain Applications Cool Vendor, validating the significant business value that CTOs, CIOs, and Lead Architects have seen in ChainLink’s secure approach to connecting smart contracts with critical external resources.In addition, SmartContract.com has partnered with IC3 to launch Town Crier, the only method for generating trusted hardware backed (Intel SGX) oracles on production environment.Sergey Nazarov said: “SmartContract.com is extremely excited by the immense potential created by these critical partnerships with industry leaders like SWIFT, Gartner, and IC3. This momentum validates that ChainLink is already providing value to industry leaders and solidifies our belief in the ability of the network to securely connect smart contracts to the key off-chain resources they need to become useful for the majority of real world use cases.”

Are you guys familiar with SWIFT and what does it do? Do you understand what it means when that company wants to go crypto and use chainlink?

ChainLink is the next OmiseGO, probably better. They are partnered with SWIFT. Go look up who SWIFT is.

>>3301144

I honestly haven't found a single good argument against ChainLink. The YouTube video explains the product perfectly and Swift has already ordered an Oracle to run on the network. I haven't gotten in the presale but I'm going to do the ICO if I can beat the bots

>>3300197
Chainlink is working with SWIFT, are you retarded?

>>3316205
Money nigger thinks chainlink isn't +95%? What an idiot. The starting marketcap is 32 million, that's a guaranteed 5x. Fucking SWIFT ffs.

>>3321925
ChainLink isn't a shitcoin that just appeared out of nowhere. Vitalik approves of it and one of their paying customers is SWIFT. Do you know who SWIFT is? Moon!

There's an actual partnership with SWIFT, I don't know what you mean by "Set in stone", I don't think they need to really suck each other's dick for people to know they're together.

Their crowdsale is launching in a few days. They're probably too busy to answer the same retarded question on slack when they know if they get the whitepaper out, they won't have to answer you mouth breathers all day long.

As for proof of their team. Brian lio and Ari Jeuls alone make me feel safe. Absolute fucking geniuses
