>selling all but 2k
unironically I've sold everything apart from 1k months ago, don't give a flying fuck anymore, if it goes to $1k I'll still be happy with my sui stack
fuck this bullshit

>>51390664
You are still bagholding this erc20 shitcoin? Why? Nobody will care about it in the next bull run just like nobody cares about the old 2017 bull run coins like vechain.

>382 participants

Think about it. They probably expected at least 1000-2000 attendees. I'd be embarrassed to be there now, 50 /biz/ neets and a couple hundred crypto twitter fags wandering the halls asking for the presentation next to the toilets

>>51390688
Good idea. Now let's go kill ourselves.

>>51390698
in case you're not a seething troll, selling right now is probably not a great idea, I'm thinking this shit will pump until smartcon regardless
>inb4 bulgarian fudder!!1
again, I've sold my shit at double digits, so I don't recommend anyone selling now

>using testnet for your own contest

Was deco used or are they that cheap?

>>51390725
>testnet

kek they spent the hundreds of millions on roasties and lobster, no money for their bagholders

>>51390693
lmao let's see how the retarded shills will try to salvage this trainwreck

>>51390693
>>382 participants
Where does it say that?

I searched 382 and 'participants' and got nothing.

>>51390796
actually, it's even less than that lmao
all I see is approximately 260 unique ETH addresses

>>51390664
Probably accidentally posted the testnet contracts. If not this seems pretty strange. I mean if you haven't heard of this company before and see they organized a contest where the winners get to eat a bigmac with the CEO... And to make it sound even worse they used a testnet for their smart contracts. Isn't chainlink supposed to be "fundamentally a security company"

>>51390796
Go to Contract Source Code, and then scroll down under 'File 1 of 5'

Do all ticket holders automatically register for the big mac contest or do you have to specifically register for it?

>>51390901
Because if you have to specifically register for it, i am going to say this is extremely bullish and 1k eoy is back on the table in 2 more weeks

They executed the hiding strategy so well, nobody gives a fuck about their token anymore lmao
Crypto runs on hype and normie interest, they had one chance during the 2020/2021 bull and they fucked it

>>51390901
It was based on ticket holders, not registrants

>>51390918
It’s over

>>51390918
so that literally means only 260 people are attending
HOLY SHIT

>>51390901
Can you bring your own Big Mac and join sergay?

>>51390664
Oh no. That’s very unfortunate. I hope other anons heed your warning and sell their links.

>>51390934
kek the cope posting has already begun

>>51390924
>>51390931
Now we know why the ticket price kept getting lowered, and the reason for this stupid fucking conference in the first place. My educated assumption is at the time they lowered ticket prices, they probably only had 40-50 tickets purchased

>G-guys why is NO ONE BUYING TICKETS?

>>51390916
DTCC and swift care about it.

All I see in this thread is a bunch of seethers.

>>51390981
contest not conference

>>51390955
I firmly believe in Chainlink and that's the only reason I keep holding.
I also believe that they deserve a low attendee count for Smartcon. If they had released staking or CCIP by now, attendance would be through the roof.

Where you lose me is with the muh roasties "joke". It's so incredibly tired, and still seeing it after all those years just reminds me of a senile old grampa repeating the same joke over and over because he can't remember having said it before.
It's just sad.

So based on this it was people who bought tickets by August 1st. Who knows if they stuck with that, though. Really wouldn't be surprised if they had to include all ticket sales given how pathetic they were with begging people to come. Honestly fuck them, they fucked us so badly for the last year and now they come begging? Most tone deaf retards I've ever seen in this retarded industry.

>>51390984
I was a bagholder you fucking retard. What conference hasn't swift attended? Leads to nowhere

>>51391061
>What conference hasn't swift attended?
what?
Source pls

>>51391061
>I was a bagholder
You still are.

>>51391056
Poor little you. Chainlink didnt show enough attention towards you and now youre mad.

Seethe more faggot.

>>51390984
>muh paid speakers are all that bwahahahahahaha
even if these representatives are for real, what's the fucking point if nobody is attending your conference?
>>51391078
dude you're a genius, it's not like he clearly stated he's still holding 2k
these hecking bulgos man, always trying to mislead us!!11!!

>>51391065
They were at last year's smartcon too, led to nowhere

>>51391078
I sold

>>51391079
cope shill

>>51391145
>They were at last year's smartcon too, led to nowhere
Don't change the argument.

>>51391145

Yet here you are.

Once link hits $77.77 I will go to McDonald’s and buy 7 Big Macs that I will eat in one setting

>>51391155

>I'm selling all but 2k of my stack

Reading comprehension not your strength?

>>51391145
>led to nowhere
What the fuck does your stupid ass know? I swear to god you seethers are the most pathetic losers ever. How deep do you think your knowledge is between SWIFT and chainlink?

This is not the real raffle. If you look at the contract they had the participants hard coded ie didn't pull in any real data about real participants.

Why is this you may ask? It's because the raffle was done without running any sensitive data on a Blockchain. How's this possible? You'll find out at smartcon

>>51391178
Maybe the bag you're holding was your concern for my financial wellbeing all along.

>>51391155
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
stinky linky absolutely losing it
what argument you coping brainlet?
fact of the matter is that less than 300 people were convinced to attend the "most important conference in the industry" so far, argue with that
>>51391193
>huuurrrr give me prooffsss
how about the token dumping endlessly before, during and after the conference? kek
>>51391197
>i-i-it's not real!!

>>51391257
>what argument you coping brainlet?
The one where you said Swift attends all conferences.

>>51391257
>fact of the matter is that less than 300 people
Thats not a fact, you made that up you. Are all the seethers this fucking stupid and pathetic?

>>51391271
sorry for interjecting here, but OP never said that, he meant that SWIFT has attended the previous SmartCon and nothing significant was announced back then, apart from things we already knew or suspected for years
you clinging on to that nuance is a bit pointless
>>51391283
uhh, anon, take and deep breath and reread the thread carefully
https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x43810044823889dc690fc19af82e5d1850ca47a0#code
sorry :(

>>51391299
>he meant that SWIFT has attended the previous SmartCon
Then he would've said "what smartcon hasn't Swift attended".
But he said "what conference hasn't Swift attended".

>>51391299
How many people attended your conference?

>>51391257
Lebesgue spaces

>>51391257
u real mad bro
>:^)

Lmao so they are about to have more speakers and volunteers than attendants that bought tickets

>>51391323
ok, then the answer to that question would be "SmartCon 0"
end of the argument I suppose :(
>>51391326
great answer anon, you have just restored my faith with your astonishing logic and arguments

>>51390664
Hahaha
>Source code
>Can identify how many participants

Non programmer low IQ might fall for this

>>51391365
hahaha then why don't you explain to us brainlets what it really is?

>>51391353
Is 300 is too few? What would be the appropriate number to attend and why?

>>51391197
ari nfts come to mind they promised staking and ccip and release deco

>>51390664
no shit it won't have participants, you think anyone can afford fucking tickets and to travel to america in this economy for what's likely going to be a nothingburger?

>>51391381
there is more speakers than attendees is this good? this will be the same shit as last year short this shit.

Dumb question, wasn't it?

you're too late anon, they're already here kek

>>51391433

there is no point to discuss this further though

Token not sneeded.

>>51391411
>>51391413
>there is more speakers than attendees is this good?
Made up. Not true.
>something like this in my mind at least
Except you dont know the real number yet you absolute fucking brainlet. The conference is still 2 weeks away and yet youre still here posting away about something that hasnt even happened yet.

>>51391472
so yeah, essentially your only retort is 2 more weeks
ok, good for you, keep holding!

>>51391495
>keep holding!
You're the one who keeps holding.
Chainlink.
In your heart.

>>51391472
Wait so how many people are going? Are you saying the Link team purposely left a bunch of people out of the raffle? Can you be more clear or are you being intentionally vague?

>>51391500
but thankfully not in my portfolio anymore!
except one sui stack of course

>>51391435
By far the most insane group of people on the entire planet. The underperformance in 2021 and the resulting crash really did a number on linkies

>>51391495
Yes 2 weeks until the conference to see the exact amount of attendees. Are you dumb?

>>51391500
Yeah but youre pretty pissed about your holdings getting decimated by a team that hates you, and keep defending them. Thats pretty weird. Kinda gay too

>>51391520
cool, out of curiosity though, what if the attendees are actually around 300 people? what are you going to say then? do you find that acceptable?
just asking cause you asked me something similar but after I gave you a response you ignored me and moved the goalposts
I'm genuinely asking btw

>>51391323
The only conference op could’ve referred to was SmartCon, chainlink doesn’t hold other conferences. The fact you’re hung up on that means you have no argument about the amount of people going to sc

>>51391529
There's no point arguing with this idiots. Anyone with a brain already sold for ETH

>>51391556
fwiw, I believe ETH will dump after the merge as well

>>51391544
He will probably say ''at least we don't have pajeets attending our conference'', goalpost moving will be immense by then.

>>51391552
It looked like he was implying Swift goes to everyone’s conferences

>>51391544
Whats the difference on how many attend? Why does it matter? The right people will attend. This isnt a popularity contest.

Would I rather see attendees that will actually use chainlink or a bunch of seethers moon boy faggot like yourself?

>>51391568
Probably but at least ETH has thousands of people working on the network.

>>51391529
Did you quote the wrong guy?
I still hold Chainlink, and I still very much believe in them.

If I didn't, I wouldn't be in Chainlink threads.

>>51391587
KEK there you go>>51391570
Too predictable

>>51391587
you're still avoiding giving me a direct response, should I assume you're satisfied with that number? that's the only thing I'm interested hearing from you

>>51391468
>>>/tv/ ghosttroll

>>51391620
Satisfied with the made up number of attendees?

So #'s of attendees equals better adoption of LINK?

>>51391375
The source code is a kind of like a template. Like if you had a hat where you put the names of the participants. Then you'd have some kind of a set of actions to perform the raffle. Put hand in hat, pull up a name etc etc. The source code is the hat and the set of actions. It's a template, it's not an actual instance of pulling names from the hat.

In addition to that this particular piece of source code is on a testnet and has a list of made up participants. This list of participants is the 300 people low IQ anons are referring to in this post.

What's interesting is you can't find the same contract on the mainnet. This indicates that some kind of a privacy preserving protocol may have been used... Probably shouldn't ruin this fud thread, but this is pretty exciting desu

>>51391659
How heavy would you say, are those goalposts you keep moving?

Lmao at the “right people” attending…they all attend like 5 other conferences annually as well. Cope biyatch. Just admit you were wrong about the # of attendees

>>51391686
>tries to come up with complex explanation to confuse people

So youre saying theres gonna be thousands of participants at the event? What are you going to say when theres literally 300 people there?

>>51391693
>Just admit you were wrong about the # of attendees
The conference hasnt happened yet. Are the fudders getting more retarded?

You all hold thousands of dollars of link. Seethe. More

>>51391659
yes, for the 3rd time, assuming this number turns out to be accurate, are you satisfied? Yes or no?
>>51391686
so you're theorizing this is not accurate and you are speculating that DECO or something similar must have been used to obfuscate the actual participants list.
interesting, but I suppose you can't offer anything more other your own conjecture? I mean you could be right after all

>>51391725
>assuming this number turns out to be accurate, are you satisfied? Yes or no?
>Please answer my hypothetical question!
Create a thread when the conference is past and ill answer your question based the true number.

>>51391759
so based on your constant deflections, I'm assuming this number will be disappointing for you as well
thanks I guess

>>51391779
>Please be angry about my made up number! Token no----HR roas---Fake partner----!

>>51391759
Hahahaha. I gotta congratulate you on the mental gymnastics. Have you considered a career in politics?

>>51391725
Something like this. And yes I have to admit this is only me speculating. I think there's no way of knowing if something privacy preserving was used. It's privacy reserving after all. So speculation aside and going only by the amount of participants in the source code the final amount of participants is 300. This is undeniable for this piece of code. It's on a public blockchain and everything is visible

>>51391806
>mental gymnastics
Arguing about a made up number. Oh the irony,

>>51391821
How do those heavy bags feel?

>>51391801
>>51391821
you keep saying made up, but the list of participants is right there
https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x43810044823889dc690fc19af82e5d1850ca47a0#code
and you haven't even offered an alternative like this anon>>51391819 and even he conceded that until proven otherwise, that number is undeniable
kek

>>51391801
>made up

Dude you have been sent the link confirming the # several times. If that number is wrong, what is the actual number? I think theres a disconnect between your emotions and reality. Just because you dont like the number, doesnt mean its fake.

>>51391837
Weigh your own and let me know.

>>51391819
Around 300 I should say. I didn't count the exact amount, but that's close enough.

>>51391821
>>51391801
Fucking cope, the code is in this thread. In this thread! You're full of shit. You think those participant lines are made up from a template? Why that random number? You're probably an employee and it shows

>>51391853
259 eth wallets

>>51391846
All in ETH after selling link in december 2020 after the meme line broke. I'm content thank you

>>51391821
To ask another way, are you implying that the chainlink team is purposely posting fake numbers? What would be their motivation for that…is this the famous “hiding strategy”???

>>51391819
Not really understanding this DECO angle to be honest. If they were using DECO, then shouldn't it also be used in the testnet contract? Why would they have different code used on mainnet? Especially for something as critical as DECO would be. Don't really know much about smart contract development/solidity, but I'm a programmer as a wagie and this is just my 2 cents.

>>51391873
This is the number of participants for the competition, not the number of attendees

>>51390693
The vast majority of link marines are severely socially anxious shut ins who would legitimately prefer to end their own lives than have to sit down and have a Big Mac with Sergey, even if they’re planning to attend and hide in the back seats. This is a much bigger number than I would have expected

>>51391178
So you are still a bagholder. Damn you fudders are retarded kek

>>51391931
You just described the entire tech industry. Though chainlink holders have a proportionally high amount of females and a proportional low amount of trannies in there ranks

>>51391840
This is correct. No one can deny the amount of participants is not 259 from looking at the data that's available in this contract. This of course is a central part of what blockchains do, right. Everyone can verify what happened... How was the raffle conducted, who participated. For someone who knows solidity it's like reading natural language. This contract basically says: "here's a list of people who participated in this raffle *insert a list of 259 names here*".

>https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x43810044823889dc690fc19af82e5d1850ca47a0#code
I dunno. To me, it seems kind of unbelievable that they have to manually input each address to the code. So if there were thousands of participants like they'd hoped, someone would have had to copy/paste thousands of addresses into the code?

>>51391931
This conference with these kind of speakers is definitely NOT geared towards introvert shut ins frogs from 4chan anon, and if it is, well fuck me

>>51391987
The Big Mac thing is literally a biz meme, they are reaching out directly to the frogs with it

>>51391875
You were able to buy tickets without a crypto wallet. So they have a centralized db with that data. Now they apparently conducted a raffle on chain. Or that's what I think they are hinting at by posting a testnet contract. It would not make sense to do a centralized raffle and then imply they used a smart contract for it.

So we have assume they infact did a smart contract raffle without putting any of the participants data online. This is not possible with the current web3 stack

>>51392040
No one gives a fuck where it came from or who is owed credit. ITs posted all over twitter. Hes not reaching out to a bunch of 4chan faggots whose every other word is jew or nigger.

>>51392091
How come the ticket price is $1477 then? Face it anon the team are coming out as full blown nazis

>>51392041
I mean they have a centralized db with the participants data. Either Sergey did the raffle himself by randomly pointing a finger at the screen or something similar OR they did something that requires some kind of privacy reserving computation

>>51392118
If anything, they are distancing themselves from this board cause of retards like you.
>this number means something!

>>51391967
Someone who actually knows Solidity/Ethereum bullshit will need to chime in here, but I'm just speculating on how they did this:
>Original announcement said that ticket purchases done by August 1st will be in the running for the contest, meaning we've got a cutoff date
>Chainlink needs to include the participants that met the cutoff date, they have the ticket confirmation numbers stored in some DB as >>51392041 described
>The testnet contract has a list of keccak256 hashes of the ticket confirmation numbers of each eligible SmartCon 2022 attendee (ripped from the comment)
>Chainlink runs the VRF shit, they pick 7 people randomly, based on the hashed ticket confirmation numbers they can now reach out to the winners.
>Naturally anyone can look at the results on chain and confirm whether they won or not
Not seeing how DECO is in the picture here, doesn't seem required at all. Also I noticed in the testnet contract they've got the this hashed ticket confirmation number twice... pic related. Seems kinda dodgy.

These absolute madmen literally decided to use the big
mac Sergey meme to demonstrate this tech 3 days before the biggest financial institutions in the world are going to tell you they will be using the same stuff. You have to appreciate it

>>51392279
This is a web3 conference not a chainlink customers conference. Not everyone there is going to be using chainlink oracles.

>>51392203
My take is DECO was being used all they way from when individuals bought the tickets. In the real raffle these hashes you see in the testnet contract as participants are digests from the computations that were made on DECO

>>51392443
would be pretty amazing and it would make me understand this baffling PR move of big memes a lot more

>>51392443
>>51392443
>My take is DECO was being used all they way from when individuals bought the tickets.
What do you mean? They bought the tickets through a centralized service like any other thing you'll buy online. The customer gets a ticket confirmation number, and Chainlink stores all the ticket confirmation numbers somewhere in a centralized system they control. Where does DECO fit into this? Chainlink themselves have said they've contacted the winners. The VRF stuff is just available on-chain so anyone can verify the results. If I participated I can go here https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/keccak_256.html and punch in my ticket confirmation number and then confirm whether the hashed result was one of the winners.

>>51392498
Yeah exactly. I too thought the whole big mac shit was strange, but if this is what they're about to pull off it's the boldest move ever. Gotta admit they were one step ahead in the meme game too

>>51390664

Can't believe nobody is going to this conference to shoot Sergey and end the weekly dumps.

I had a closer look at OP didn’t realize some addresses were duplicates. In fact, after copy pasting all addresses and removing all duplicates there were only 56 (!) addresses left. Pretty crazy to think there will only be double digit people at smartcon. Likely there are more posters in this thread than people at smartcon think about that

>>51392520
Ok why are there duplicates then?

>>51392520
Quoting from the DECO paper: "(with) cryptographic techniques, it lets users prove facts about their web (TLS) sessions to oracles". I'm saying they used DECO to make the raffle end-to-end secure. Like the slides we are all too familiar since 2017 say, using a centralized middleman compromises the end-to-end security. The raffle must have been cryptographically secured since the beginning of the registration process

>>51392571
Might as well have the whole conference at a McDonald's and give all of the 56 a BigMac

Lmao fudders getting increasingly nervous and angry. I'm never selling my stack of links, ok? How much do you faggots get paid to spam here everyday? Is $2 per day enough to feed your village?

>>51392724
nobody is actually fudding though, there's actually some good discussion going on
imagine being so buttblasted that you sage a rare quality thread because it isn't "bullish" enough

>>51392586
I don't know man, trying to figure this out like others are. It's weird, there are several duplicate values:
0xcead56737fd58f6ef896ccacb5523b90accb921738df2d1ebe69b08615be63f6

Each of these show up twice in the list, dunno what the fuck is up with that.
>>51392624
They've already done the raffle and anyone involved can verify whether they won without DECO simply by hashing their ticket confirmation number using keccak256. Chainlink has the contact details of the people who bought SmartCon along with their ticket confimation number, they know who will be eating the Big Macs. If DECO was actually being used there would have to be some evidence of this in the contract, but there isn't. It appears to be a very basic contract they've set up.

>>51392895
And for what it's worth, none of those dupes were among the winners.

>>51392764
>rare quality thread
You should kill yourself. Just do it. End your life please.

>>51392895
Either they made the raffle on a testnet and there were 56 participants or the TESTnet contract is a TEST. I don't know, but I think it's safe to assume testnet is being used for testing and the real thing is done elsewhere. And if we assume they'd not do something that would render using a blockchain obsolete ie using a normal centralized server and inputting data fucking manually THEN they have to have done it in some other way. The purpose of chainlink is to offer smart contracts end-to-end security. In this case it means being able to prove things about web2 systems (the registration). This is why I'm talking about DECO see:
>>51392443
We'll find out in about two weeks

>>51392895
I am not seeing those duplicates actually. There are 262 hashes and none are duplicates now that I checked

>>51393050
When you see this does it sound like they're linking an actual test contract or the real thing? It very much sounds like the latter to me. It would be unbelievably poor communication for them to actually be linking their test contract. What on Earth is the point of VRF if the results are a secret? There's still absolutely no evidence of DECO. It would still be present in any test contract, doesn't make any sense to exclude it from the test contract and only use it on mainnet. >>51393074
Copy the list into a proper text editor, I found the EtherScan one to be dogshit and not work properly.

>>51392984
>rare quality thread
yes anon, instead of rehashing the same old, tired talking points for and against Chainlink, we get to speculate on something new and tangible.
>You should kill yourself
you should heed your own advice

>>51393096
Check your list again. None are duplicates from the 262 hashes

>>51393096
(And yes, I'm still confused why they didn't run this on mainnet if this is supposed to be the actual raffle with real winners)

>>51392764
>a rare quality thread
Taking a competition participant number and associating it with the number of smartcon attendees. Kill yourself.

>>51393050
So in the bigger picture this raffle makes chainlink either the biggest joke in the industry or the undisputed meme king of web3 forever. Place your bets anon. I know I did and sold

>>51393126
it is associated with the number of attendees, that's how you entered the competition anon, by buying an actual ticket
you're not very smart

>>51393150
Its associated with the number of people that entered the competition. Not everyone who bought one entered in.

You cannot associate this competition with the TOTAL number of attendees

>>51393096
>>51393115
An option is they don't link to private shit because it's supposed to be private. This whole big mac stuff with the testnet contracts are a meme anon. They are hinting at the release of DECO

>>51393208
ok, at the very least, now we can safely assume that less than 260 people (duplicates?) have entered the competition and as result are (also) attending SmartCon
good enough for you?

>>51393208
Unless the idea is to only have the people who are willing to eat a big mac with Sergey. The possibility of having have to eat a big mac with Sergey is the price you have to pay if you want to attend. A pretty high risk actually, 56/7

>>51393237
>selling all but 2k

Ok mister I hold thousands of dollars in link. You seem to trust the team a whole lot.

There were 262 ticket confirmations that were hashed. None are duplicates btw. They used VRF to select the winners so anyone can hash their number to see the winners were selected fairly. No DECO involved here

>>51393324
Looking at the contract again. I have to agree with this.

>>51393314
thanks for conceding
>2k link is a lot of money!
it's not really but thanks

>>51390664
Well anons, I think this is finally the thread to break me.

I'm going to wait until past SmartCon but I think that's it for me. I can hardly believe this turned out like this but at least I'm up decently on principal.

Congratulations on the capitulation. I always said if I was ever going to sell, it would be after a 2 year bear market and 90% correction. Farewell fren

>>51393403
>>51393431
By accidently actually. Not sure how.
>2k link is a lot of money! it's not really but thanks
16k in a speculative asset according to all the fudders in this thread. You can buy a used car with that money.

>>51393410
Same for me. If you read my posts in this thread you can see all the stages of grief. The acceptance is setting in. I am finally free. Good bye

>>51390693
Only those who purchased before Aug 1st were entered. They've had another six weeks to sell tickets. I expect there will be at least a thousand people there.

>>51393566
actually it's only $8k>>51390688
it's peanuts, ideal for speculation

>>51393594
only 8k. Shut the fuck up.

>>51393514
Shows you the quality of devs they have. That is a blatant mistake on their part. That’s the only duplicate

>>51393571
that would be my expectation as well, desu a thousand people only would be underwhelming

>>51393609
kek, are you a total newfag with like 100 link stack?

>>51393627
Ok mister 28 pbtid. Im so glad we have people like you that are so caring about other peoples investments.

I have thousands but to say "only 8k" makes you look like a retard.

>>51393735
wait? Do you seriously think 8k in an investment is a lot of money? wtf happened to this board?

>>51393806
So go drop 8k right now, and post the receipt if its not alot of money.

>>51393826
kek, something tells me your entire poorfolio doesn't even crack four digits

>>51393842
Gotta love fudders.
>Why would you invest in link its a scam!

sorry I assumed you were an early buyer, not a 2021 tourist who got burned lmao

The state of this board.
>sell your link its a scam!
>omg youre a newfag who doesnt hold thousands?

it's hilarious watching you sperging out over $8k lmao

>>51393957

man I can't wait to go eat a Big Mac with Sergey, have the entirety of pic related center of lower Manhattan only to myself and other fellow /biz/ kissless virgins while billionaires like Eric Schmidt and SBF talk for us exclusively. imagine telling this to someone on /biz/ back in 2017/2018, what a timeline

essentially a high end private /biz/ meetup. thanks Sergey

>>51390901
where is the "no purchase necessary" clause in the sergey big mac contest?
i thought it was illegal to keep poors out of contests in the US

>>51391145
>sold
>creates Chainlink thread and posts a further 10 times in said Chainlink thread
The only thing sadder than a coping bagholders are fuddies who supposedly sold and now let chainlink holders live rent free in their heads. You either haven't sold and you're bored, meaning you have no life outside of 4chan, or you actually have sold but the nagging doubt makes you actively check the price throughout the day and make/participate in LINK threads like a bitter ex-fan who didn't get his autograph.

>>51394074
>duuuuude you cant discuss the project unless you meet the parameters i made up in my head just now

So to confirm, there are 260 people going (maybe less). Funny how we diverted away from the threads topic once that argument was lost by baggies

>>51392764
You were fudding either because you understood the DECO implications and were "le fudding for le fun" or you yourself are a midwit and were fishing for breadcrumbs for autists smarter than yourself. Either way you are a faggot. On the other hand
>>51392707
This anon is based, and I'm glad that what started out as a typical discord fud for fun fagfest turned into something interesting.

>>51394074
It is the former, this website is full of people obsessed with the idea that they can only like things that others don't like, which is why every board has dedicated autists who tear down anything remotely popular. Chainlink isn't even mainstream popular, but its popular enough on /biz/ that autists will devote several hours a day every day for years on end to fud their own investment, just so they can laugh at people when it finally goes up again and post smug pepes.

>>51394512
>DECO implications
as far as I know, this is pure conjecture, and besides that, using "Verifiable Randomness", along with DECO doesn't even make sense
how would you verify that?
>>51394631
again, none of this is "fud"

>>51394631
>le secret investment

Im calling bullshit. This mightve played a year or so ago but pretending to be completely ok w losing hundreds of thousands/millions all because you are too stubborn to admit your cult isnt making money, and then pretending it was all part of some mastermind plan you had to keep people out who dont even know / give a fuck about your gay crypto investment….is so beyond cringe its hard to put into words.

>>51394727
>too stubborn to admit your cult isnt making money
Care to elaborate?

>>51394074
Cope sauce for your Big Mac, sir?

>>51394668
You allegedly sold all but 1k, but here you are harping on for hours and dozens of posts about how Smartcon attendance is shitty.
And then you say nobody itt is fudding.

Zero self-awareness.

>>51394196
So we conveniently leave out the tweet that said only people who bought a ticket before 1st of August were entered in the raffle? Anyway, last 2 Smartcons had 0 attendees. I literally do not care whether 100 or 10000 nerds show up. Board activity is at a 2 year low and Chainlink interest on this board is lower than ever. Why would it be any different in the real world?

>>51390664
Avalanche had 3700 attendees in Barcelona earlier this year.

>>51394727
It is, that's why I am calling you all faggots.

>>51394931
just because the evidence makes you uncomfortable it doesn't mean I'm fudding anon
fud is fiction by definition

What did you fags expect? Have you not seen other metrics from their videos,live streams, and tweets? Chainlink will either work and make bizraelis rich or it wont and go to zero. Just like every other startup

What kind of retarded thread is this? Almost 400 before august 1 (two months before the conference) is quite a lot. This sort of stuff ends up being attended by people who actually work in the biz (and not fucking neets) who tend to register way closer to the events.

>>51395451
What would any of these fudders know anyways? They're complete retards who wouldnt know the first thing about planning an event of this scale. They only thing they can plan is their next meal of fast food.

>>51395223
>fud is fiction by definition
Holy fucking newfag.

>>51395641
>Fear, uncertainty and doubt is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear
>propaganda
>strategy to influence perception
you're getting tiresome

>>51395770
Nowhere does it say it has to be fiction.
All fud is, is info that causes fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

>>51395770
I'd say concluding that Smartcon will be a disaster based on the number of addresses entered into a bigmac competition smart contract could be classified as 'dubious'

>>51395815
>arguing semantics
lmao anon, propaganda is usually false information but whatever, I like this new coping angle you have developed
>>51395890
fair enough, we have different standards then
the funniest part of all this is that I explicitly said I do not recommend to anyone selling right now, yet I still get labeled as a fudder

>>51395909
>>arguing semantics
You're the guy who said fud is fiction by definition.
You argued that what you were doing wasn't fudding, because it wasn't fiction.

>>51395938
yes, fudding essentially means spreading false information
I did not spread false information at any point in this thread, nor did I suggest that anybody should sell

>>51395909
>different standards then
No you're just a retard.

>>51395999
checked
Do you consider the 'How does this make you feel' price threads to be fud? That information isn't false, even though it is framed to look as bad as possible

>>51396174
>a manifestation of the appeal to fear
certainly

>>51390693
I don't give a shit about discussing with Sergey, I heard his speech enough.
What I want is CCIP and staking, EVERYTHING ELSE is a diversion and an insult.

>>51395999
>fudding essentially means spreading false information
No it doesn't. It means spreading information that causes fear, uncertainty, doubt.

>>51396247
what if that information is true? do you still consider it fud?

>>51396267
Yes. That's my point. Holy shit you're dense.

>they are now doing a contest that makes connections to being a burger flipping waggie
kek

>>51396302
ooooh kek sorry then yes, absolutely by your definition I'm fudding
so I guess fud = bad so you don't even care if the fud is baseless or not, didn't read, never selling
amirite?

>>51396333

What’s more likely: there is an exact 1 to 1 relationship between the smart contract and actual attendees and chainlink is lying; or chainlink is telling the truth that there will be 1000s of attendees, which will literally be confirmed within 2 weeks when the event starts

>>51397628
are you by any chance that CL employee from this thread?>>51397272

>>51397684
You guys really do come off as desperate though. If it's a nothingburger conference for a nothingburger token then why spend all this energy talking shit about it every single day? I couldn't even begin to imagine posting this much about a crypto I actually like, let alone one I hate.

>crypto conference
>NYC
>No Carlos Matos just a bunch of nerds speaking
Chainlink labs really don't know anything about crypto. I bey they won't even have a hype man at this conference.

>>51397774
LINK staking will be released in the next 24 hours

>>51397774
Thanks for asking. Myself personally I still hold some and was hoping for an exit pump to get out. Obviously isnt going to happen now but selling the botttom (we hope) is retarded. Watching this year unfold has been horrifying.

So Im now torn between hoping price goes up one more time and rooting for these scammers to fail and/or get thrown in jail. I dont hold enough anymore for life changing money nor do I need the $$ so im pulling for the latter.

I despise dishonest people and would love nothing more than to see justice served. The Celsius thing left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth and was the turning point for me. And all the latest amateur bullshit is just more fuel for fire. Fuck Sergey and fuck their whole gay ass feminist dysopia “team”. Their egos are their downfall and their complete disregard for their investors will come back on them.

>>51398015
You should sell now and never return to another LINK thread. Because unfortunately when you act this way, it only makes me inclined to buy more. On the other hand, since you’re obviously lying, I’m curious why you want to fud your own asset?

So we're already back to the washroom days again.
Fucking perfect.
I hate you /biz/. I really do.
As soon as it hits $20 again I've already decided to sell 1% of my stack per day for 100 days and just move with my life. Hopefully during that time it gets back up above $30 but at this point I honestly don't even give a fuck.

>>51398015
So... you bought link and got burned by a third party lending / staking service? And that's why you're just wasting your life doing this?
Are you really this retarded?

>>51390693
It's over

>>51397444
welp, it was a decent fud narrative while it lasted. sorry fudders

>>51398015
Oh so you're a latefag that never made money. kek at you

I swapped about 30k of my 80k stack into eth back in the august 2020 pump, but I can see how someone who bought and held through 2021 would be bitter and angry. I feel sorry for you.

>>51391079
token holders, esp everyone from the early days propped up the token and shilled it hard. So yah we are pissed off they let us down like this

I'm not selling and neither is anyone else. Why do you do this? Are you actually trannies? You don't persuade anyone. Smartcon is in two weeks and they've indicated that CCIP, DECO, and a version of staking are coming out in some form this quarter. Why would i sell my tokens before they have a functioning product? You don't have an answer to this because its not a rational decision.

What burned you? Bad swing trading? Futures? Did you lose your stack to some defi scam like celsius or bancor? Good! You don't deserve to make it. I'm glad you failed.

Nothing you say or do will stop me from being comfy and excited.

>>51398143
>decided to sell 1% of my stack per day for 100 days and just move with my life
you'll still have 36.6% of your stack left if you do that.
>100*.99^100

>>51397727
The tweet doesn't say thousands are coming to the conference. They only said thousands are flying to NYC, which is true of course. So technically they are not lying

>>51398774
Kill yourself please

I can't tell anymore who's actually fudding, who's actually arguing against them, and who's just fueling the fire out of boredom.

>>51399082
Chainlinkgod will say nigger live at #SmartCon!

With #SmartCon 2022 only two weeks away, thousands are booking their travel to #NYC, and hotels close to The Market Line venue are nearing capacity.

A reminder to book your stay today.

ICP should take over smartcon since they can replace Chainlink with simple api calls. Nazis won this time.

>>51398306
1% of the initial amount of course. But given my wording I'll take the L here.
I was way too late to even quite fully complete the make it stack by the time the top had passed(aka I was exit liquidity and/or funding for the ole weeklies), so I'm completely insignificant to the market, and arguably at a point where I might as well just hold in hopes of a new ATH and actual profits.
But if it does go back to $20 and I'm pretty confident it will, the end result will be possibly close to even if we pretend opportunity cost and other associated downsides don't exist.
Also just the piece of mind and closure will be nice. No hard feelings to most people in the community, mostly just /biz/. But if I try to wait it out for an ATH and it doesn't get there and I spend more years waiting for something that may never happen, I honestly question what the real value of 1k eoy would even mean relative to the time spent waiting for that to the point where even if some omniscient being gave us information like:
>1k will happen 100%, but not necessarily eoy. The time frame is eoy to 20 years.
Is the trade off still worth it given the pain involved, particularly when you risk life literally passing you by while you wait for it to start? I think it's an interesting philosophical question at least. If there's one upside to all of this, and if someone calls this pure cope I won't necessarily disagree, but it might have taught me there could actually be more to life than money...maybe.
I'm actually really envious of people who work for Chainlink directly or indirectly, since they get the 'normal life' with interesting intellectual challenges, stable income and social benefits of having a good job, and on top of that all of the upside of potentially historic wealth. But none of the downside of being a pleb relying on the token whose future they hold in their hands.
Thank you for coming to my SmartCon 2022 talk. It's been a wild ride.

Actually, I just checked, my ticket confirmation number isn't among it. They trimmed down the pool by some other criteria to get the under 400 applicants.

>>51401048
When did you buy the ticket? They said the cutoff to be in the running was August 1st.

>>51392203
>>Original announcement said that ticket purchases done by August 1st will be in the running for the contest, meaning we've got a cutoff date

oooooooh, well that sucks.

>>51401069
Yeah, I missed this part. I bought my ticket sometime in August.

>>51393115
Why waste money running it on mainnet? It's still provably random. They're not winning ETH, they're winning a chance to meet up with Sergey so any testnet will suffice.

>>51400149
How is it projection? You've literally spent like 9-10 hours in this thread raging over a token you don't even like and now you're reduced to repeating old memes and insults. You absolutely are a salty loser wasting your life on biz. That's not even up for debate at this point.

>>51401127

Nah ive made some other really good investments faggot. Just recently a cool 4x on BBBY, all the while you were over here jerking off to “staking soon” threads. Keep waiting bitch. Maybe december for the test version that no one can even use.

Also, as I type this, there are only 3 coins in the top 100 dumping harder than link: LUNA, LUNC, CEL. All rugs and links old favorite business partner hahahaha. Remember a few days ago all of you faggots were pumped that link had “decoupled”. Fuckin loser.

Also to bring it all back to the thread topic, theres 260 people going to your supposedly biggest event of all time. Duuuuude life changing tech right? Do you have any cool powerpoint graphics about TV—ACK

No. /biz/ is the cause and this is my revenge and the consequences will never be the same.

I don't really post here that often but I need to address this fear and negativity.

I've worked for various corporate companies and one being a fortune 500 (not in the finance space). Every year i go to various events with CEOs and MDs of large companies as well as politicians. These networking conventions aren't always packed with people, some are, but not all. However, to individuals that are aware of people influencing the space they'll take note and have direct conversations with these influencers and decision makers to open doors.

I'm not concerned that it has minimal tickets sold to the average retail normie. As theyll probably upload the video on youtube later for more views. I'm only concerned the right companies are there with senior people, so that cross collaboration can take place and Link has more seniors of various companies trying to either work with them or connect them to other industries and companies. Retail doesn't affect price as much as you think, hedge firms, government and large companies do.

From the speakers attending, it has succeeded.

We will only see what takes place after this. If you've got fear from a nothing burger, sell your link, keep a small handful you don't give a shit about and hold it for the next 3-10 years and treat it likes its amazon or tesla. If it fails you lose fuck all, if it pumps then you've got a deposit for a place, or a small chunk off your mortgage or insert whatever.

Best of luck

supply doubled over 3 years, so yes I guess
250 Million circulating supply; 10K Make it
500 Million circulating supply; 20K Make it
goal should be 40K to really make it

lmao the supply hasn't changed, it was 1B then and it's 1B now.

>>51407618
False. Supply hasn’t changed. There’s a max supply of 1B. Sure the circulating amount has changed though, but so what? That’s less tokens in the hands of Sergey and more in some of us at the top.

Sorry anon. Not too late to sell and get bigger bags of ETH and MATIC though anon. You did buy before the merge right anon? right?

>>51390664
its because everyone who shilled link has already sold the top. Anyone who gets in now is NOT early. the ones who were early were buying in at below a dollar (me)

The supply will increase as demand for the token increases and thus the price will stay stagnant in perpetuity.
