Checkd.

Both part of ic3 and accord
Juels was at synchronize (digital asset event)
Digital asset and link both at sibos
Jonathan Levi, one of the hyperledger manager committee, talked alongside Sergey at a conf, Sergey follows on Twitter, regularly attends ic3 events hosted by juels and attended by Sergey
Bob summerwill another influential hyperledger member, tweeted about how exciting accord partnering with link was, followed by Sergey I believe
Kelly Olson another hyperledger committee member and works at Intel, also follows Sergey
Hyperledger IBM emails report talking about chainlink as an oracle of choice
Capgemini / IBM / Bart cant report, shills SC as an oracle of choice and interviews Sergey, Bart cant also high in the hyperledger ranks, not sure if he follows Sergey though
Sergey speaking alongside gonser and boring at sxsw, masters is advisor to boring chamber of digital commerce
That's just from memory but I think there was more

Okay, thanks. Very bullish.

Bunch of 4channers tried to force it as /ourcoin/, during the presale ico phase of chainlink there was a minimum requirement of 300eth to enter the presale. Bunch of anons pooled up together and shared presale links to fill them with their eth.

Coin continued to get shilled and pumped up and hyped for the sibios event that link was attended, whole event turned out to be a flop chainlink had a presentation in a room of like 18 people next to the public toilets, literally no news or partnership came from the event and the coin dumped back to below ico prices and created 1000's of bagholder anons.

Now during this alt bull run lots of anons and took advantage of this and shilling this coin to all the new money and newfags that joined in december and don't know this story.

The coin is HEAVILY manipulated and the supply is dried up from huge whales who accumulated below ICO price to create a artificially lower supply (a lot like REQ) and these people have so much room to dump on all of you faggots to still be in profit when the time comes.

In regards to actual project that chainlink aiming to achieve it's nothing more than a basic json parser for smart contracts, would take like a day to add to ethereum by itself.. literally making links whole concept pointless and definitely no need for a token. Would take a lot longer to get it working with bitcoin but the bitcoin core devs would be able to work out the solution a lot quicker than chainlink will, think that's something worth noting that literally nothing is completed and you're literally just buying a whitepaper, they have only 2 developers and they don't communicate at all with no proven background on either, in fact sergey was involved in a project before chainlink called NxT that he since been abandoned until it was took over by a new developer team

Congratulations.

Will look into this

Also today I was looking into Marley Gray, the microsoft cryplets guy. I don't know if this was pointed out before, but he was also a speaker at Synchronize 2018 (digital asset event, where Juels and Szabo talked about smart contracts).
Christine Moy was there, blockchain lead at JP Morgan, they also partner with IC3 and she also attends IC3 events, she's talking at SIBOS this year alongside Hyperledger IBM and Digital Asset members, but also with ComBank, who did the blockchain bond thing. Masters obviously has deep ties to JP Morgan.
Chris Church is another interesting name, he was a SWIFT exec who Masters hired after he asked the right questions at a Masters conference on blockchain, and shortly after SWIFT announced they were investing into DLTs... Masters secured deep ties to SWIFT through him.

I hadn't seen the event sponsors before but there's Perkins Coie, law firm heavily invested into blockchain/SC r&d, they're part of Accord and GLBC.
Factom was there, one of the earlier chainlink confirmed partners.
Everywhere you dig, you always find the same names popping up, it's such a small circle.

Now there was a little dot that caught my attention, it might be nothing or just a coincidence, and I don't think it's very relevant, but in the academic partner section, I was hoping to see Cornell/IC3 but instead it was the Wharton university of Pennsylvania. Wharton is also partnered with 2IQ research, which I'm not sure if it's a very important firm but they're invested in chainlink. This piqued my curiosity, does Wharton have an influential blockchain departement, more potential dots there? Might be worth digging into.

By the way since you are interested in investigating. Look at his linkedin profile.
-RSK Labs is the 'Bitcoin Smart Contract' project

-IBM Silvergate is ..... well just type it in to google and you will get a nice surprise

Link $9999 eo November 2017 AD

>only 2 contributions to his github page in the last year
Isn't this low?
& The last activity from his fabric repo was 2 years ago
His twitter is also inactive
He was in SF 2 years ago for a hyperledger event, so at least it means he's not just parked in Argentina

>>10850034
To counter that though is his Twitter which brings the dates up to February this year.

Although he may be full time at RSK labs now.
