I want to understand the Chainlink whitepaper. What kind of material do I have to read and study to understand it fully? I only have a MSc in Chemistry.

>> No.9256383

get a masters of programming from HArvard and you might understand it

>> No.9256499

You must have done a shitty masters program in chemistry if you can't even code, know anything about logic, or data structures, and don't even know where to start.

Learning to code is a skill. Every Science major should learn it, that doesn't mean you have mastered it or do it professionally. Everyone in the future will need to learn a little Computing Science. That doesn't make you a code monkey.

First get the basics down learning logic and programming in python/c++/java - object oriented languages. Next learning the concepts of data structures, databases, algorithms, as well as network programming, operating systems, and computer architecture. Then discrete math to number theory to cryptography on the mathematics side and game theory / intro economics. Combine this to get blockchain: economics mixed with cryptographic public data bases. From there Ethereum, Javascript, and solidity. You can not understand Chainlink without understanding the basics of computers and cryptoeconomics. That's more than enough to get started. I promise each subject doesn't need a fully course in it unless you want to be a developer.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Chainlink. The code is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the smart contracts will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also Sergey’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The linkmarines understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these oracles, to realise that they’re not just important- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Chainlink truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the prediction in Linkmarine’s existential catchphrase “MY LINKY STAYS STINKY $1000 EOY,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Sergey’s media essays. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as genius comparable only to the Satoshi Nakamoto’s unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Chainlink cube tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Basically this, think about all of the connections from real world to blockchain that the future holds, and now picture chainlink as the tamperproofing mech between them.

Mindbottling stuff we can't begin to predict at this stage.

To be honest alot of this is even over a programmers head its such new territory.
You need to have a good understanding of economics and game theory I guess.

'Masters of programming aka Software Engineering is a joke. Its mostly a social science about how to work in teams and work on projects and different ways to test your shit.

Computer science is the real thing.

not necessarily
if you say you just know how to program and nothing else that is like the most basic thing in the field
pajeets get paid for that because its easy AF
being a real SE (not an overglorified one at least) means you're at least good enough of a computer scientist to be able to create new ways to test things
CS means you're just badass

>> No.9259242

I agree completely. A Software Engineer needs to know Computer Science like a Civil or Mechanical or Electrical Engineer needs to know Physics.

To clarify I mean't a MSc in Software Engineering (or Programming) is very different from a MSc in Computer Science. One researchers how to build software the other studies the nature of computing problems.

Just read it. If you earned a masters in chemistry, you should be able to figure it out if you are dilligent and repeat, repeat, repeat. Use a scratchpad, take note of terms, look them up to get a general understanding if you don't know them, and write the symbolic logic out as you read. Break it into easy to understand pieces, just like a reaction. You'll have a difficult time with section 6, but the general idea of Link will click well before you get too involved with that.

You probably don't have a chance of understanding it fully without putting in an exorbitant amount of effort into learning new things. More than is worth.
