I hope this does not come out as fud but I have some concerns with the Chainlink team. It appears Chainlink is a part-time side project. See below:

Dimitri Roche is currently an advisor to Loop and Tie. He does dedicate a lot of his spare time to Chainlink along with his own projects you can find on his website.

Mark Oblad's - OK it looks like he came on board in April 2018. But has not been heard of since.

Alex Kwiatkowski - A software engineer for Northpass and Pivotal. He is a freelancer that may take on a UI job here and there for Chainlink.

John Barker - A software engineer for Chapterspot. It looks like he will mess around with some SGX stuff late at night every once an a while.

Dan Kochis - This guy doesn't even have a twitter but is supposed to be head of business development. Another one that appears to be hired on but never heard from again.

Adelyn Zhou - Where do I start. She has not updated her linkedin or website to show she works at Chainlink but she is the fucking marketing director for god's sake. This "hire" scares me the most. The marketing director is basically supposed to do the exact opposite of what she has "done" so far. She has tweeted more about Rich Asians than Chainlink.

Thomas Hodges - Nothing bad to say about the Hodge Doge

Rory Piant - He was part time but rumor has it he has quit his teaching job. He still is working over at Idex and Tap Project. He has dedicated more of his part time to Chainlink as of late.

The Advisors - Don't get me started, they don't even follow Chainlink on twitter ffs.

Sergey - He supposedly hired a business developer and head of operations but still does not have any time for the community? He has no scheduled events, I could only assume he is thinking of his next venture?

Steve Ellis - he cool but has way less commits now that they hired some part time devs.

>> No.10889651

Chainlink devs outside the very small core (of pretty much Thomas and Steve) were being brought on to do specific pieces of work, so yeah, the vast majority of the team are not "full time".

>> No.10889724

Adelyn Zhou is the biggest red flag. She updated her twitter and website since the news broke and did not update showing Chainlink. Even if Chainlink is just part time she should have added. Instead she tweets about how bad white people are and to go watch rich asians. If that was her that made the last two chainlink tweets she doesn't know how to spell and did not look that professional.

Hey doofus, most likely that 650mm is in the hands of Swift and their co-op that is backing Link. They aren't going to do anything with it but keep it out of circulation until adoption sets in and it goes up in value. That 650mm ends up being worth billions eventually. Be glad you have a small seat at the table and STFU.

Great article, that's one of the best general refresher articles I've seen.

>> No.10889928

If you have a modest 10k links stack staked in Linkpool (or running your own nodes) and only generate a 1% monthly ROI (100 links), at $10 that's $1,000 passive income per month, which you could either cash out or keep accumulating for more staking. These a very conservative estimates. Now consider 5% + $1k per link, not unreasonable figures if the link network remains a leading decentralized oracle solution while smart contracts become widely adopted and 10% of the GDP is moved to the blockchain (as predicted to occur between 2023-2027 by various reports). How much monthly passive income would that be?

>> No.10889929

>>10889853
Swift is going to make so much money from Link it is sick. Wish they were publicly traded, would buy their stock. Just remember who owns Link boys, they always come out on top. The Rich get Richer. My guess is an exchange will eventually be in place for Link to buy or exchange for Fiat. As I said, just a guess, but who do you think will be behind that? Mo money, mo money..... SWIFT.

>> No.10889973

they need a fucking roadmap, something simple, split into quarters, with a projected date for main net.
The more I watch this project 'progress' the less I see.
They have 32 million. If they can't use that to build main net then fuck em. I'm waiting for a bit more bull then im out.

It seriously triggers that Adelyn hasn't updated her Twitter or Linkedin. She stayed silent for like two months then started tweeting about that rich Asian movie. She published three announcements on Twitter, and out of those three important tweets, one had a typo, another had awful grammar. Took her two months for this?

They don't want the price to increase now, need it down so nodes can afford to accumulate quantity so when it goes up later they have supply to put up to earn more opportunities, and to carry requirements for non performance penalties. Once adoption starts, Link moons to top of the charts. Swift and it's investors have a plan, take that to the Bank, pardon the pun. They been working on this strategy for 4 years. Just my opinion, dyor.

yeah, not chainlink then, cos all they've done is write a wallet with a json parser and they are now EVIDENTLY burning money on literal shit to hide the entropy from their lack of skill.

I've always read '3rd party companies' as the Hyperledger consortium. The chainlink seed money is ancient history now. You really think Swift - the size they are - are going to jump out and say Boo! hand in hand with these worthless pricks?

The link delusion continues. Imagine being the person who believes that a gypsy russian with a philosophy degree and no programming experience is going to instantiate a global, paradigm shifting economic system where banks and other entities are going to willfully funnel hundreds of billions of dollars into and sit around idly while said gypsy russian and his family of neet fags take profits.

Now imagine being the person who believes that the worlds banking cartels, with arguably some of the most brilliant computer scientists out there, are going to sit by and let a gypsy russian take profits they could have had by using a simple JSON parser.


Consider this snippet from the following article:
[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/10736960/High-frequency-trading-when-milliseconds-mean-millions.html]

"No wonder that Spread Networks, the company building the fibre-optic connection, proudly boasted: “Round-trip travel time from Chicago to New Jersey has been cut to 13 milliseconds.”

And HFTs were willing to pay through the nose to use it, with the first 200 to sign up forking out $2.8bn between them."
These fucking jews spend billions of dollars just to get a 13 millisecond improvement so their algorithms can get the data faster. So you're telling me that if there was any money in the chainlink area these guys wouldn't be all over it? Get the fuck out of here.

So explain to me why this is going to work again? Or is it just a PnD like 99% of other crypto's out there.
