ITT: We discuss Chainlink's competitors

You might have heard that ChainLink has no competitors. That ChainLink is the only decentralized oracle. Unfortunately, anon, that is no longer the case. There are at least THIRTEEN competitors, pic related.
>Witnet
>Ducatur
>Gnosis
>XYO Network
>Lamden Tau
>xValve.io
>Aeternity
>Eventum
>OracleChain
>Zap.org
>Akroma.io
>Augur
Plus other projects will just make their own oracles, therefore ChainLink being blockchain agnostic is no longer an advantage. For example even IOTA is planning on integrating their own oracles.
Now, some of these in the pic are still in ICO and some have a working product already. Many of them have 20+ man teams, while ChainLink has only 2 or 3 (we don't even know how many because communication is so bad). They all have shiny and user-friendly looking UIs and websites. All these projects are announcing partnerships regularly and are updating on social media, that is a sign of solid coins worth investing in, you should always DYOR and check these things. Now, technically, ChainLink cannot be called the best anymore. Since you probably don't understand this tech (don't pretend you do) there's no way you can tell which one of these projects will succeed based on tech alone (not that that necessarily matters anyway).
The point is that anything can happen and there is no guarantee that Chainlink will succeed over all these other Decentralized Oracle Cryptocurrencies.
I would suggest that you sell a percentage of your LINK tokens and buy one of these competitors as a hedge. I'm not trying to FUD ChainLink but the fact is many of these projects are much more likely to cause Reddit FOMO than Chainlink. I would suggest buying some Oracle Chain, which is EOS' in-house decentralized oracle. Which will you choose?

I forgot to list Mobius too, anyway it's in the picture, Mobius is on Stellar Lumens XLM blockchain which makes it similar to Oracle Chain. Projects will make their own oracles most likely. We can see this happening right now.

SWIFT represents 11,000 international banks. SWIFT is merely a cooperation of these entities that sets Financial Messaging Standards. When you want to send a wire transfer, you use SWIFT identification #’s in the messaging of that transaction. Naturally SWIFT is clearly looking towards standards within DLT, And ChainLink is ISO20022 compliant, which is SWIFTs messaging standard.

Have any of these projects OP has mentioned been at SIBOS two years running? I’m sure oraclechain was working with SWIFT in 2016 on proof of concepts, right guys? Those same proof of concepts that Sergey demonstrated working successfully at SIBOS 2017?

akroma is a ethereum fork that includes oracles, obviously this will never succeed because eth just isnt that great and only the "original" one may survive due to name recognition and momentum
aeternity is a platform specifically designed to include oracles, which is not really that great of a selling point if you can just use something like LINK on another platform

I'm going to check out some of the other ones. Essentially these competitors are good though, they show that oracles are a much needed problem not just noticed by some NEETS on 4chan.

>> No.8902278

>>8902167
actually here, i'll be less of a dick. if the smart contract of interest is homed on ethereum, yes, link token holders can still be paid. so if the claim is that the chainlink oracle network is centered on ethereum then i agree that token holders are fine. but this is not what "blockchain agnostic" is being taken to mean.
If the smart contract is, for example, on EOS, is the plan to also have link tokens native on eos or is the plan to route the request back through ethereum?

Akroma has active dev team, expect Oracles soon and it has masternodes which went live recently.

>> No.8902406

Even just as an "investment" Akroma has been very solid. Already made over $1500 in profit on the masternodes. Technology wise they are head and shoulders above the other dagger coins that are trying to do similar things. It's partly because they're not trying to make a product that is mass-advertised to end users. They're developing Akroma for themselves and other developers.

>> No.8902949

>>8902241
they benefit creators of smart contracts, because they can listen for events occurring on other blockchain platforms (EOS) since each one will have an external adapter for their system. To be able to freely push/pull data from any blockchain/data source is obviously a very powerful feature, which basically guarantees LINK's adoption

Well I just saw a lot of pajeets making money from scams and I thought maybe I could do it too and learn Laravel while doing it (could've done it in Java but where's the fun in that, talking just about the webapp).
So I worked on it and didn't have high expectations to be honest, I shilled it here though and I was scared namecheap might give my name or something if autists here pushed it, so I changed the index.html to "WTF /biz" and deleted the website, got banned from namecheap soon after.
There's nothing to say about it, it was a scam that copied my favorite project in crypto which is chainlink, and most of the other "competition" is doing the same thing, but I hope no one will come close to it.
If you have read the mobius whitepaper, then you'd have realized it's shit, it's just what you'd expect from good software developpers but pajeets.
Chainlink's whitepaper on the other hand is something else, I read it many times and still didn't understand it 100%.
So don't read too much about this "competition" fud
