I don't think you guys understand what ChainLink does. Smart contracts can rely on inputs from multiple trusted oracles without using ChainLink at all. For example, if Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange publish their data to the blockchain, a smart contract could check for a certain degree of consistency between the two data sources before executing. That type of redundancy will likely become a design pattern in smart contracts even if the dream of true decentralization/trustlessness is unattainable.

ChainLink is useful if your smart contract needs stock prices but you don't have direct access to a trusted source such as the official Nasdaq API. You can solve your trust problem without depending on a legal regulatory system by using independent nodes that will all be punished financially if they fail to reach consensus -- the schelling point will tend to be what is most widely believed to be correct information. Node operators will find it more profitable to build a reputation for speed and reliability than to defect because they will be unable to coordinate defection with enough nodes to reliably change the outcome of smart contracts anyway. All these nodes may be querying a single source of data -- the Nasdaq API -- but we're not demanding that the data are provably true (which is impossible) just that they are provably accurately reported.

Notice that if all these independent nodes are just reporting data published by a single source such as Nasdaq it would be just as reliable and a good deal simpler, both legally and technologically, to directly query that single source. There's just as much trust involved in either structure. Smart contracts can't do that if the source is off-chain. However nothing is stopping Nasdaq from publishing real-time data on-chain and largely eliminating the need for a decentralized oracle network to query their API.

There are also types of data that are easy for nodes in a decentralized oracle network to observe independently -- for example, you might want to trigger a smart contract on Ethereum if a certain bitcoin transaction occurs. This type of data will always be most reliably provided by a network such as ChainLink.

When the adoption is high, data sources (or API providers )will begin providing their own oracle's because the effort will be worth it then. Largely eliminating chainlinks use case, as "decentralization" imposes a huge cost with no more security than "trusted" oracles built by the data providers.

Tl;Dr. Chain link is a medium term hold, helping with the ease of adoption for smart contracts, then diminish in value for the long term (4+years)

Exactly this. 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 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 partnerships came from the event and the coin dumped back to below ico prices and created 1000's of bagholder anons.

Now during the alt bear market lots of anons and took advantage of this and fudded this coin to all the late money and newfags that bought inDecember/January 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.

and there is nothing to stop them from doing that with chainlink. oraclize is a single centralized oracle that could provide that data and they will be a node in the chainlink network. the problem with using a single oracle though is that you not only have to trust them but they can suffer from downtime, which has happend with oraclize several times in the past.

chainlink nodes are targeting derivitives (quadrillion dollars) and bonds (trillions) as their first use case for the network. Chainlink tokens aren't the cause of this value, it is the chainlink node network which is the source of value. Chainlink nodes will be staked as collateral for each transfer, and that means if a user places a transfer order for $1billion dollars the nodes responsible must be collectively worth $1 billion in order to hedge the risk of bad actors. If bad actors prevail, those nodes will forfeit to the original requestor and that party will be refunded $1 billion dollars not from sergey but from the nodes who acted in bad faith. This alone means that the value of chainlink will be equal to the contracts it is trusted to execute, but that is FAR from the actual value of what chainlink tokens might become. C

yes, you retard. The entire point of chainlink is that the value of a link is based off the health of the node network. It MUST be decentralized, and the more decentralized it is, the more valuable each token is. The chainlink network is inherently anti-monopolistic because meganodes would destroy the network and plummet the value of link to zero. Nodes have to be small and work in concert because that is the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT. jesus fucking christ you people are dumb.

You're obviously LARPing, most Indian women don't fuck pigskins, no condom huh? One day Indian men will find you and literally LYNCH you and castrate you for even going near Indian women. There've been several white males that have been LYNCHED for even TALKING to Indian women:
Most Indian women prefer average white guys to jacked Indians? LMAO I've been all over Mumbai and EVERY good looking Indian girl is dating or married to Indian guys. They might hook up with white Neanderthals for the thrill (just like European women love hooking up with blacks and browns, I personally have cleaned up in Ireland and Eastern Europe as an Indian guy) but literally 99% of Indian women would choose an 8/10 Indian man over a 7/10 small dicked inferior white male.
As for "Indian men can't satisfy their wives", lmao WHITE WOMEN cheat more than women of any race. Look at the infidelity statistics of white nations versus India, your women hate you. I fucked an Irish girl after meeting her Irish boyfriend on the same day. He was a short, shy guy and seemed like I could take him. He tried confronting me about it and I literally left him bleeding from a broken tooth and lying on the sidewalk in Dublin. Felt great.

BSV will kill chainlink
- bsv stores a fuckton of different data sources directly on-chain
- bsv is turing complete, meaning it will have smart contracts (its been proven)
- smart contracts will directly pull all data on-chain where they can also verify the source
- no need for link as bsv scales into the gigabyte or even terrabyte block realm where transactions are dirt cheap

>publishing real-time data on-chain
Nasdaq may try, and so can others, but it will be useless because the respective chain will be clunky, slow, non resilient, non secure, centralized, illiquid and badly scalable, like Cracks dream of 2GB blocks. If I had to chose between a "trusted" middleman I could bribe in the worst case or a centralized overhyped three way bookkeeping app controlled by a single sociopath, the choice would be an easy one.

But this may also just work for data that doesn't require Terra bytes of space, like a fucking price tag. Having more logistics and retail in mind, ware tracking, transport, real time pricing, customer, worker as sales data and automatic trustless automatic execution from one step to the next, the oracle smart contract solution through a multitude of existing in house apis seems for me the only viable solution. This can't be done on-chain, smart contracts are needed and I need an oracle to feed the terra bytes of data through. The risk spreading to node operators is another extra plus, would not just save millions in wages for monkeys but also probably billions in insurance.

Lets say Nasdaq and the financial industry can suck my hairy balls, I want LINK nodes to save funds in retail and logistics.

I love chainlink. All the drama, the memes, the community surrounding it, it's really something. But what I love most about it is knowing that in couple years I will be a billionaire. It's not even a 99% chance, it is quite literally guaranteed. As a result of that knowledge, I stopped showering and brushing my teeth over a year ago. There is simply no reason for me to do it when I know I'll be rich. I will be fucking whores every night and laughing as they're throwing up from my disgusting, stinky body and mouth. As they kiss me on my rotten teeth, or suck my dirty, 2 year unwashed hog. It will be quite something. In fact I am already seeing effects of my stinky adventure. Yesterday I went to a shop to buy some cheese and make a stop at McD's for a big mac and the cashier at the store was visibly gagging at the smell of me and trying to hide it. Other customers were standing like 5 meters behind me. It was truly hilarious. And none of them have any idea of my guaranteed, future riches. They must already be so jealous of me.

By using multiple nodes. The smart contract can choose to use 1, 3, or a thousand. And threshold signs will reduce the need for the contract to use 1k individual nodes, one node can instead gain consensus from 1k different nodes offchain.
