You got shot down by fellow holders, your patience will be rewarded. Accumulate as much as you can. My guess is through the Factom partnership, this is what they will use.

I'm drawing a blank lads.

>>10017502
Yeah, Wilson Bilkia actually started a thread on here about it. Not many people replied apart from me and a few others. He says he has a small holding in Link.

He is an ex US forces Dev who focuses on security. He posted it to the ChainLink gitter so the team should know about it.

>>10017554
Well considering LINK is partnered with Factom...

>There is growing anxiety about supply chain management for defense systems, which increasingly use commercial-off-the-shelf components for embedded software systems.
>The concern is that these components may contain deliberate vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an adversary at the time of his choosing.
>this issue is one of provenance, or the ability to establish the origin and traceable ownership of an asset. Blockchains offer a solution that could establish the provenance of every circuit board, processor, and software component from "cradle to cockpit."
>The card design firm could use blockchains to log every design iteration of a circuit.
>Manufacturers could log every model and serial number of every card it produced.
>Finally, distributors could log the sale of batches of circuits to system integrators, who could log the allocation of circuits to specific aircraft
assemblies, and so on.
>In this context, blockchains create a permanent records for the transfer of assets between owners, thereby establishing provenance.
>Such a system also has clear benefits for both DOD and industry beyond a system's production phase.
>Many weapon systems are designed with service lives of 30 years or more.
>However, the computing technologies these systems use are rarely produced for more than a decade. As a result, replacing obsolete parts becomes more difficult with time.
>Additionally, 30 federal law prevents DOD from using any component whose provenance cannot be established; any discontinuity in ownership renders some parts unusable even though they are functional and in high demand.
>In addition to helping DOD to support legacy systems, resellers would have an economic incentive to track specifically identified COTS components in a blockchain to maintain their provenance, which in turn increases their value.

>>10017483
I work with the DoD as a contractor and the hoops you have to jump through to make a single change technologically is impressive. There is absolutely no way on Earth the DoD is even considering using an unproven technology built on top of an unproven technology anywhere in their network.

More proof that the vast majority of these supply chain shit coins are dead in the water. Link solves their problem as a subset of the problems it solves

If if I make a pull request will you die?

>>10017918
triggered much?

>>10017920

the hardest thing about investing in LINK is knowing too much. this waiting game sucks. that's the price to pay for being too early

>>10017935
It will be very stinky

>>10018064
you're a deluded guy

>>10018050
That's why I've been telling you to sell, pajeet. You don't need this stress in your life. You don't even want to be rich, if you're honest with yourself. This isn't going to end well for you.

nice larp

>>10018745
red = stop green = go. When it's red, you stop or hold. You lose when you sell at a loss. Because what goes down is sure to go up again. ala bitcoin.

Neat, but why would this affect token price? Wouldn't the DoD track this stuff with their own Chainlink nodes and thus not need to worry about penalties or payments?
Come to think of it, why can't node penalties and payments just be handled through a clause in the smart contract that pays or debits node operator's bank accounts?

>>10019129
What do you think a node would pool this data for? People who want to sell the items on it to the government. They're creating a list every DOD+ contractor is going to want to pay to see. Very high value API data. Very expensive items being bought and sold via smart contract using LINK as collateral. I think that affects its value.

>>10018151
Swift is out ... LMAO .. sure they are ..

>>10017848
Anon this is great shit. Thanks much for posting this. Don’t travel in DOD circles and there is no way I would have run across this if you not for you posting on biz.

Microsoft, AXA, SWIFT, SalesForce, IC3, the list goes on.

I plan to HODL either way. Sometimes I feel like a genius who needs to wait a bit more; and other times, I wonder if I fell for the spell meme megic has put us under.

So the spooks in the U.S. will be using LINK? Mother of God. This is massive use.

LOLOL LINK is so fucking undervalued. Increasing my insurance stack at these prices.

even if link doesnt moon or be succesful.I went balls deep and lost. I had a story to tell what do you have no-linkers you have no balls you have no vision we will make it even if we dont with chainlink

If all this is true, why isn't smart money stacking up on LINK?

>>10020137

Because the smart money already stacked up on link.

Fyi, this doesn't mean much. This is one major's school research paper.

This is basically the equivalent of a research paper for a master's degree course. Not fud, just realistic.

My flavorite aspect of ChainLink threads are how many subject matter experts show up to tell me everything is a lie. I don't even need to read reports or form my own opinions. Saving money, saving time, making a better life for myself. Thanks.

>>10019985
are you me?

>>10020453
K.

>>10020474
Don't get me wrong, I literally have no idea if there would ever be DoD interest in Chainlink or smart contracts in general. There may be. I'm just trying to point out that paper is nothing to blow your load over.

>>10018681
the ONLY voice of reason in this thread goes ignored. good job guys, totally not a cult, etc

I understand why LINK isn't marketed. They're on the radar of some of the world's most promising sectors across a number of verticals. We weren't supposed to be apart of this opportunity, but we got lucky once again.

>>10020603
if it wasn't supposed to be open to the public it wouldn't be listed on Binance

>>10020543
I think most understand what it means but they just let the noisy minority get carried away.

It is a useful tool for future applications, it just doesn't mean any partnerships are lined up.

>>10020632

No one can stop binance from listing link.

Binance bought a whale load and listed the coin on their own. Team had no imput

>>10020137
This. I have no idea. I've asked this question many times. Usually the response is that sergey has 650m link to give out to big players and they're not going to waste time going to binance. Although if they New about he tech and their company possibly adopting I would think they'd want to buy up their own stash but who knows. Nobody has ever mentioned link by name and there's no such thing as I've seen here posted before about NDA's because that just doesn't make sense for an open source project. This entire project is eerie.

>>10020603
>10020656
Away from all moon opinions and FUD accusations, literally equanimous about the future BUT who the fuck is stupid enough to believe "duh we got in by accident, this was never suppose a happen"?

>>10020270
Kek

>>10020603
This is fucking bullshit "we don't deserve this project" lmfao

>>10020776
Same thoughts here; just months after confirmation of foreign jnfi,tration of reddit/electoral process/intel group out of maryland responsible for voter data security, THIS fucking project still has steam and is captain of the rumor mills here and NOWHERE ELSE. When I even bother to think about this bullshit, I feel like it's some sort of front for gathering alt-right supporter info/non-employable "members" that feel smarter than everyone or that they have a"destiny" and were clever enough to find Link etc etc. like someone is recruiting or at least profiling the dregs of neet society since they are so easily led. Eh, I gotta get a hobby.

>>10020776
>>10020780
Even if the larps are all wrong, LINK is definitely a weird project. Despite massive players and crypto gods being undeniably aware (Antonopoulos, Gonser, Vitalik, Nick Johnson, Fucking Klaus Schwab etc) no one working on any products that could use it seem to even realise it exists! Like, that fucking airline insurance app that basically said "why the fuck would we need that"? When they were asked about it.
It would be one thing to asses it and dismiss it, but they seem to not even know.

>>10020834
instead of the cia giving your lsd you're getting link. it's a different sort of freedom.

>>10017502
YES ITS AN UNRELATED GITHUB OF A 'SECURED' NODE SETUP THAT CLAIMS TO MEET SOME BULLSHIT DOD ISO SPEC.UTTERLY IRRELEVENT SHIT AND I WOULD NOT TRUST IT. AT ALL.

>>10020920
this. dont bother with this fake DOD shit, its nothing. shoo shoo.

>>10020834
Sergey has documented Russian connections. It would make sense if some of the same astroturfing groups used for the 4chan trump campaign were contracted to shill LINK here.

>>10020940
Right. And the fervor that Link holders have. They were able to target the most desparate and seemingly unskilled/unemployable. It feels very sky novel, right? And their weird logic with "this HAS to work" "you are trying to steal my link!" "This FUD is professional level - we must have got imto this via loophole. We're not supposed to have link!" It's like how children think.

>>10020873
That was not an AXA employee it was a random pajeet...someone screenshoted his other posts yesterday

>>10021015
*sorry i meant spy novel, not sky novel.

>>10021016
Oh I knew it was some random idiot as soon as they claimed to speak for AXA lol. But that's the typical response from everyone. The oracle problem gets handwaved by Dan Larimer too, for example.
>>10021015
What's sky novel?

>>10021063
Dan Larimer is dumber than most of the idiots here

>>10020780
4chan is a mix of low IQ and high IQ population groups though. basically most people here are deviated from the norm of society. very little in the middle "normal" people. that's why genius ideas tend to arise as well as dumb as shit ones, and you have to figure out for yourself which is which

>>10020873
>no one working on any products
besides: Microsoft, SAP, sage, Salesforce, DocuSign, Fidelity Labs, Symbiont/Vanguard, twilio, IBM, Intel and others.

>>10020603
this is true

>>10020453
The Department of Defense (DoD) has taken notice, even if it hasn’t been on the forefront of blockchain acceptance. The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2018, signed Tuesday by President Trump, includes a provision ordering DoD to conduct a comprehensive study of blockchain, particularly with regard to cybersecurity. Some DoD components, meanwhile, have been exploring blockchain on their own as a way, for example, to deliver secure messaging to deployed troops and for protecting the digital 3D printing supply chain for ships at sea or units in the field.

>>10021015
I make 80k a year though. And I don't believe the larpers and will wait and see but the most intriguing thing about CL is that there's always big money floating around in the background wherever they are. It leaves it open to speculation and people get excited because they don't use this to try to claim partnerships in a market where cryptos tweet for a whole week because they know a janitor who sniffed a GS intern's chair.
It isn't certain, but to me it makes more sense that CL is working towards an actual product and has involvement with these groups at this point rather than it being just a scam like the others. If it was a scam, it would be a terribly convoluted and mind-fucky scam and they would have bailed out long ago. If it was a failed project or it didn't have a high likelihood of working, you wouldn't have people like Tom Gonser or Ari Juelz taking personal interests in it.

>>10021172
>besides: Microsoft, SAP, sage, Salesforce, DocuSign, Fidelity Labs, Symbiont/Vanguard, twilio, IBM, Intel and others.
Yes yes see this is what I'm talking about. The entire project has substance but sometimes I think I'm going crazy because I look around and nobody else gives a shit. Nobody else is buying. I know sergey has 650m to give away but wouldn't you want your own stash too if your company was working on implementing this technology? It seems eerie to say the least. How can something so big so revolutionary fly under the radar so proficiently...this is the only place it still has steem and people talk about it like the other anon said. It seems so obvious too but obviously it's not and I often think I could be totally off the mark and one day I'll sweep this under the rug as one of the worst financial decisions of my life.

>>10021176
Or maybe a special 4chan tailored scam for high IQ deluded fags

>>10021229
its too complicated for the average normie, you have to think around 2 corners to truly understand the project and why it is needed for smart contracts to work, so only high IQ individuals and lucky bastards get involved.

>>10021240
But 4chan's support or dismissal, selling or buying has nothing to do with why the project is good. This is why the golden rule is to DYOR, because being immune to shilling is as important as being immune to fud.

>>10021299
Come the fuck on. I know I'm being harsh and trying to be funny when I crap on the board here, but again, come the fuck on. It is NOT that hard and you know it. I'm staying away from link itself and it's worth/non-worth for a reason. Just think about WHO it has been popular with and for once be honest with yourself. Does this really seem like it might be something else?

>>10021330
It's/its sorry

>>10021240
this scares me, until i look at the facts.

Klaus Schwab was not tricked by Sergey. Ari Jules was not tricked by Sergey. Marc Benniof was not tricked by Sergey.

take your "the cia is trying to recruit me" mental illness back to /x/ you fucking kook. no one is trying to weaponize you with a fortune.

>>10021172
You are a fucking lying cunt. You have 0 proof of that.

>>10020137
There’s no reason for an enterprise to take a risk on holding link until it goes live and they can start to buy data feeds. It’s easy for a person to take the risk: they just go to binance and buy it and hold. But an enterprise would require the convincing of multiple people and if there’s no quantifiable short term benefit, there’s literally no reason for an enterprise to hold an unproven token. When mainnet goes live and data starts getting used in contracts, the price singularity will soon follow.

>>10021172
>besides: Microsoft, SAP, sage, Salesforce, DocuSign, Fidelity Labs, Symbiont/Vanguard, twilio, IBM, Intel and others.

LARPER ALERT. Reminder than Chainlink has no confirmed partnerships despite that it would be in their best interest to disclose them, especially since they're an open source and transparent project

>>10020665
>hurr durr what is decentralization?
Why are you even in crypto?

>>10021404
shut up, mobius is the only real oracle project and we both know it so FUCK U

>>10021304
Still nobody can evaluate the market cap of the project. Imagine that (and I believe It gonna be) the team stay mute about it, even if swift, Docusign, and many more are on board. Who's gonna buy it? Normies need daily tweets, Justin tron like which sell his product like a car seller. Almost no hype could be a killer, and I feel that Sergei and the potential users are not interested about speculation on this project. Could be revolutionary but not such a good investment because of that

>>10021341
>>10021330
Okay, let's think about what your claims are. You might believe it is likely that LINK is a scam specifically tailored to rob 4chan NEETs. This scam includes collusion from the likes of Ari Juels, Evan Cheng, Tom fucking Gonser, and open zeppelin. These entities, mind you, are not speculated to be a part of ChainLink. They are confirmed to be involved. If this hypothesis sounds retarded, it is because it is retarded.

Second possible claim: Chainlink isn't a scam but it is too good to be true, as evidenced by the fact that 4chan NEETs are all over it. The universe doesn't work that way, right? le 4chan is a silly place xD and its for silly people xD.
This thinking is fallacious; the fanbase of a project has nothing to do with the prowess of a project. Remember in 2012 ish when even dipshit high schoolers were posting in support of stopping SOPA/PIPA? Did that mean that that movement was ridiculous? No.

>>10021172
This is 50% bollocks.
>>10021330
>>10021299
It's really REALLY hard to understand. If you don't have a good understanding of smart contracts already you will struggle with it. When I started reading up on it in Feb without any idea of what smart contracts were Sergey's interviews were barely comprehensible. No normie non-technical person will ever stumble onto chainlink.
Added to that, during the bullrun (before they had a working test node) the biz psy-ops was fucking intense. It really did look like some silly fucking scam.

>>10021413
I can’t tell if you’re just really dumb or trolling.

>>10017483
what about adamant and runite hands

>>10021419
It’s not a scam. Stop wasting time trying to convince either the really dumb or the trolls. Jesus.

>>10021403
They have left it up to their 'partners' to announce partnership/active use. The same thing happened with the EEA.

>>10017798
Oh look it’s nothing just a 4chan bane poster memeing about how the fire rises

>>10021447
Yeah but sometimes it's nice to verbalize my own thoughts/suspicions. Rereading my 4chan posts helps me assess their credibility

>>10021419
Right, i must have given the impression i think that the cia or alien overlords are behind it. I do think it weird how crazy and illogical link holders are, regardless of the origin of that behavior. It appears to habe started with link and was whipped into a frenzy with Digimarine rivalry, REQ posts etc.
I have no thoughts about a big conspiracy. Also, I have no illusions about anyone being too smart or that this is too good for neets or 4chan. Just that people make link out to be this world-changing paradigm shift about to crest over all when it really isn't. Sorry if I gave off x-files vibe. Good luck to you.

>>10021330
but it actually is, look at the whitepaper, does that look like something the average 70 IQ mutt could go through in one sitting?
or the several Sergey presentation videos, have you ever send a "boring" 20 min video to a normie?
nobody gonna watch that shit or bother.

>>10021359
all of the information is public. you just have to dig in the right place.

>>10021403
>partnerships
you don't understand how chainlink works.

>>10021457
Nah.

>>10021419
Don't fall for the faux FUDders, brother.
Remember: it takes as much time and effort as them to reply to a LINK thread "as a FUDder" as you do.

Now ask yourself...how often do you waste your valuable time shitposting in threads of projects you donot care about?

If LINK weren't a thing, it would be FUDded here 9 months straight.

>>10021482
What are you saying, dude? Now you got me confused.

>>10021416
The root of your misconception seems to be that you are attempting to define the success of a utility token as if it were meant to be a wide adoption currency for normies. This is a B2B blockchain infrastructure project. If the mainnet kicks off and the savings which can be made with oracle-enabled smartcontracts is realized, it will save a LOT of money for businesses and be the silent 100 percent uptime middle-man for many blockchain projects.

>>10021427
I remember the time when I heard about link for the first time, even if I read a bit about it, it was very obscure, and a lot of projects seemed as much as promising, It took like 5 months for me to truly understand the potential impact of it. Time will tell if 4chan was early on the next big thing

>>10021592
are realized*

>>10021427
This, I bought link in sept and read extensively on it. It takes a lot for someone to grasp the technical jargon and the majority of people that entered in the bull run over the winter saw extreme psyop going on which made them think twice. Only the OGs in link from the sibos days will always have iron hands. These same people are the ones with the high tier fud to keep out the reddit normies from grasping this tech. We are literally in 1990 seeing the future of the internet and your neighbor didn’t know until 1995. Smart contracts will revolutionize the world and I am betting on link being at the forefront. If my 75k stack ends up being zero I don’t care because I truly believe we may be on the cusp of something great that the average joe wouldnt understand and would scratch their head at it right now. There is too much evidence compiled over the last 8 months that will make your head spin if even a quarter of it ends up being true and link is adopted.

>>10017781
fuck off with that shite, this is a LINK thread

>>10021592
A B2B project could reach a wide adoption if properly marketed, think about Vechain

>>10021299
The idea behind Chainlink is not that hard to understand. We have data scattered across the web, and we can't trust any single source 100%. However, we can aggregate similar data from very different sources and get more of a complete perspective of what the actual data really is. We only need to trust individual sources as much as their results are used. So if you query 100 sources for the price of BTC, you've reduced your trust in each data provider to 1/100. This is a simplistic example, but it can in principle be done with any type of data from any data source.

Yes, there is a somewhat complex technical infrastructure behind it, but every part of it is necessary to ensure that this is done properly. If you don't get it, go buy more FUN

>>10021330
this

>>10020873
Maybe they know how much fucking money they'll make if they just let it develop in peace. Also there's alot of powerful people who would become irrelevant if all this stuff goes like it's supposed to, and they could probably make it hard for the team

>>10021627
nice picture but "It's" should not have an apostrophe!

>>10021647
It definitely could help the current price and ven is a good example of when it works, but in that I think it's just because the teams have very different philosophies. Just because CL doesn't announce anything where Ven has 10 announcements doesn't mean that they aren't courting the interests of large clients. Clients who need to stay on top of would-be opponents and most definitely wouldn't be interested in telegraphing their moves. That's why the anons here have gone nuts. Without stimuli they have come to peck and dig for their information and it has revealed some really interesting connections among the chaff.

Chainlink will allow Asiatica and Oceania to obsolete The World Bank.

Chainlink will allow Nato to solve the Byzantine General's problem at every level.

>>10021403
no shill no fud. but why announce major partnerships if the mainnet is not yet ready? the announcements would just cause a spike in the price and make it more expensive for your partners to buy in once the mainnet is ready for operation. why not just wait until the working product is ready, distribute the links to partners and then begin marketing? is this not logical?

However the lack of capital gain will be compensated by more tokens paid per transaction fee, and therefore real money to be made is in staking and operating a node (at least for the initial couple years).

Keep in mind financial reports of a company only gets published annually, so you have at least a year before the cost saving benefits become apparent.

NIGGAS STINKY, UH, SERGEY GOT THE LINKIES, UH
GOT THE LINKY, UH, MEW IT HOLDS FIFTY, UH
*STIIIIIIIIIINK GAAAAAAAAANNNNNG*
PUMP THESE LINKIES LIKE ETHEREY NIGGA, YOU A BRAINLET NIGGA
IN THE CHAIN WITH THEM JEIWSH NIGGAS, AND THEM BOOMER NIGGAS
YOU PUMP UP AND THEY DUMPING NIGGAS, WE AIN'T JUMPING NIGGA
YO PAJEET, YOU A LOSER NIGGA, CLEAN THAT TOILET NIGGA

They literally state on their website that they’re implementing a swift smart Oracle.

If people have chips that read their vitals, chainlink could provide confirmed kills.

Chainlink could also be used to confirm movement of people into work camps and ensure they are working hard due to heart rate. If a worker isn't working hard enough an explosive neck brace would go off. If a person left the camp and broke the contract the explosive neck brace would go off. Workers would only be fed intravenously on the verge of death by starvation.

This is the most simple and true summary I've ever read. Well done anon.

>>10022414
Absolutely agreed.

Why use link for something which has only 1 sensor? Just use a SC directly

>>10023979
you can't use a SC directly on Ethereum

>>10023979
>why use oracles
The absolute state of people who should lurk more

I don't understand why people keep posting this in link threads...

For anyone who doesn't know, ansible is an IT orchestration/automation tool.
A playbook is the list of commands. You can code various if / then / else etc statements into it.

The commands could be run on a variety of servers, networked devices or security infrastructure.

My assumption is ansible will pull data from a smart contract using the link adapter, when a certain criteria occurs it will trigger an event on a server or a bunch of servers.

They may have a private chain and load weather data from multiple sources into it. They may track logistics or anything.

Here you go - this isn't the DoD utilising chainlink. This is only script to secure a node to DoD standards.

Most of the standards in IT (i.e. password criteria) are driven from DoD documents. This guy is only creating an automated chainlink node provisioning which will apply the security recommendations as set out by DoD

>"Leverages United States Department of Defense Security Technical Implementation Guides (DoD STIG) as the security baseline"

This is nothing, but it would be interesting to see what else he has in mind.

>>10017554
>what would the DOD use the internet for?

wew.

As you pointed out in your second post, this is about using Infrastructure as Code (IAC, and in this case Ansible) to automate the process of creating a ChainLink node. There are a few advantages to doing this:
>By using IAC you get repeatable, tested configurations for your virtual machines which means the process of spinning up a ChainLink node will be easier if there's an established and accepted IAC resource to spec out a node
>Server hardening in particular is a very important part of running any system in production and this will certainly be an important consideration once mainnet is launched and people are running nodes

The bare-minimum we can take away from this is it's good to see community engagement with LINK where people are contributing to what will hopefully be a rich ecosystem one day. If you want to be more optimistic then you could speculate that this guy knows something and is doing a bit of experimentation for something on the horizon.
>The author is a security consultant with some Chainlink holdings. I'm not responsible for anything you do with this, etc.
Considering the references to Baneposting I'm leaning towards not getting too excited over this. Still a solid effort anyway from the guy.

To be fair 4chan fags have been posting about bitcorns since 2011 and getting real excited about it. I always thought it was a scam or something and didn't pay attention to it, I was in one thread where a guy asked for help with his BTC and another Anon tricked him into giving him a 100 BTC.

Perhaps its random chance or the fact that some of us sit on this site for 12 hours+ a day that we discover very promising shit on the internet sometimes by accident.

I don't completely understand CL but I am getting some suicide insurance. $500 to be precise and I will try and get into a linkpool soon.

Fuck. I thought it was nothing but you’ve nailed it. I believe.
