What's the usual turnaround between making a harmless comment about Chainlink, and some seething ESL coming into your thread to have a huge tantrum? 40 seconds? A minute?

Only way to shut them up is for the price to go up. Other than that we are stuck here with VITRIOL until then.

Is the oracle problem solvable without walled gardens in a permissionless manner? Nope. Sergey with his army of Cornell Mafia tried and failed. No shame in it, shit happens. It's just not solvable, like the trillema is not solvable. But trying to keep pushing a failure that's either retarded or fraud

If there wouldn't be a whitelist for dons, would it still be secure enough to be sure that the respective dons deliver accurate data, we all know it wouldn't. Oracle problem only solvable in a walled garden, that's not permissionless crypto, but a gimmick.

It's not crypto. It's a gimmick. The promise of staking as a security model was the removal of the wall, it didn't happen for obvious reasons. Therefore the token is actually really not needed

you can't verify the validity of any data that enters, and chainlink doesn't even try. they stack retarded incentive structures that all boil down to a single authority having the final say about what is correct (chainlink, of course). that's not decentralized, but who cares, the goal here is to sell tokens to retail

>> No.56218853

>>56218848
Chainlink was never about verifying the actual validity of the data you retard.
Chainlink was always about securely delivering the data as presented by the source.

yes it did, read the whitepaper

>> No.56218908

>>56218882
Securely delivering implies "validating" through various middle men that the data is accurately delivered. The question remains why, if the middle men are all white listed and have no incentive to deviate.

>> No.56218914

>>56218908
The argument was about "validating any data that enters", i.e. checking the correctness and veracity of what the source is saying.

>> No.56218928

>>56218914
Yes. In a closed environment a simple api call and one node is good enough, the incentive is to not lose the privilege of being on the white list and getting welfare in form of token not needed

Here's your one node, bro

Six years of Chainlink working flawlessly while every other oracle absolutely shits itself multiple times, and you STILL have no idea what's going on.
Seriously kill yourself at this point.

>> No.56218955

>>56218937
Because other Oracles don't apply white lists and deal with market forces in a permissionless manner, while chainlink is middle man that actually wouldn't need dons, ot rather a don of 1 would be good enough

>a don of 1 would be good enough
If you only have 1 single oracle node, then if that one node goes offline for some reason or gets otherwise compromised, your whole contract is in the toilet.

>> No.56218971

>>56218960
And the node operator risking his privilege at welfare? Possible, but unlikely. The core issue remains, the walled garden is never going to be without wall, therefore showing that the oracle problem is not really solvable in an open environment, as demonstrated by all those that tried it in an open environment and failed

Unlikely, at the very least the node operator has no incentive to report falsely as it would be at risk to lose privileged access. Evolutionary game theory keeps nodes honest, not the risk for financial costs getting slashed (which of course doesn't happen in 0.0.0.1)

>all oracles other than Chainlink fail miserably because they aren’t whitelisted
Wrong.
Coinbase’s “open oracle” was literally Coinbase, Maker’s oracles are all whitelisted (including the “secret” ones), Pyth nodes are all named, etc. and they all shit the bed spectacularly.

exactly, chainlink doesn't even try to solve the oracle problem, all they do is copy data around. we are agreeing anon, you don't have to defend your losses on this point
