>everyone else just uses the feeds for free
lol, every user that handles more than a few $k pays Chainlink.
They always have.

>>55048529
The price feeds were never free (see pic) and the token is absolutely needed.

>sorry, just not gonna buy your token
Good, bye now.

>>54986264
>they don't
They do. And they always have.

No idea what the relevance of that link is either.

"Paying for it".
See pic.

This is exactly how contracts will work when mainnet goes fully live btw:

1) client pays contract operator (in whatever they want)
2) contract operator pays nodes (in Link)
3) node operator pays source (if applicable)
[5) if the node misbehaves, the node pays the contract operator with (part of) the staked Link]

It's just that there will be countless independent contract operators when mainnet goes fully live. Right now Chainlink itself is the only contract operator.

>if Sergey wasn't paying them to operate out of the incentive wallet with Chainlink Community Grants (tm), the node wouldn't exist.
1) Chainlink users like Aave, Synthetix, Kava, ... secure billions of $ through Chainlink

2) these users pay Chainlink

>>23309018
Imagine being this clueless.
Everyone using Chainlink pays for it.

>>23299123
>And not a single one of them has the LINK token being used anywhere in their integration.

>>21747029
You mean an erc 677.

>>21747050
>it's Sergey providing the linkies for free
>for free
Nope, see pic.
Users have to pay to use Chainlink.

Also, Sergey is the contract operator, and contract operators are supposed to provide the linkies as payment.

>it is used to massively subsidize adoption
>the creator is dumping

Nope and nope.

>>20991313
1) it was stated before the ICO that about a 3rd of the token supply would be used to fund the network and its development

2) the current users of Chainlink are actually paying for the service, see pic.

Sorry OP.

>>20761275
>The entire network is being subsidized by CL itself.
wrong

>>20736913
>WHO IS PAYHING MONEYH FOR THE FUCKNGJI DATA
The users.

>>20733987
>These large companies are running nodes with free link. The 30% sergey set aside to "bootstrap" the network with node operators.
That's not how it works.

Why are so many low level defi projects dedicated to using Chainlink? I know its for exposure, but it is honestly baffling that people are willing to spend so much money to use shitlink.

Have you see the tweet by the Kava CEO? The amount of shilling hes doing for chainlink is unreal. I dont get what benefit these guys are getting out of it. Its not LINK is gonna moon to $5 because of Kava

>>19611114
furthermore, here is the jack ass CEO spending god knows how much of his companies money on a useless scamware just so he can get internet points from 4channers. Yeah, great business model. Youre already on thin ice with a R&D shitcoin project no one is paying you to use, and now youre spending all your company resources on something you dont need. Such a great ceo

>>19492856
>>he thinks that image disproves anything
It literally shows that Synthetix is paying.

As confirmed by other Chainlink users, see pic.

>>16 active nodes
>all have been traced back to sergey
No, 16 active users.
There are 30 KYC nodes, and they're all separate, independent entities.
There are also over 100 non-KYC nodes on mainnet right now.

>>19382550
>Only Kyc nodes are getting paid.
Wrong.
There are non-kyc nodes running jobs right now and getting paid just like the other nodes.

>free to the end user
That is entirely up to the companies using Chainlink, who do pay to use Chainlink; see >>19382462
and pic related.

>Read the fcking white paper. CL team gets a small % of the staking reward after v 1.0
>>19382565
>Read the white paper. They get cut of all staking rewards.

Please quote the white paper where it says that.
