Why don't they hire more developers? The got 32m from the ICO, why wouldn't they make that investment so they can get a working product out faster?

honestly ive been thinking the same thing..and dont forget they are holding another third of tokens for company developement..what bothers me is if companies are "racing" to use this tech first why the hell does sergey literlly have two devs? Why cant they hire people to get this done if companys want this tech so bad? I know the blah blah 2 man dev team is fud yada yada..well no its not fud, it is exaclty what it is..a 2 man team working on supposedly something that will 'change business at the dna level''...im just trying to think as practical as possible

Just do the math.
If he hires 2 developers and feeds them only 1 Big Mac per day, that's 730 Big Macs per year.

If he hires 10 more devs, that's over 4k Big Macs per year LESS for Sergey.

Are you so autistic that when you read an example written to contextualize a usecase, you instead focus of the literal specifics? That's like the the slow kid in 1st grade math class reeeing about why Suzie was giving apples to Jimmy in an example instead of learning arithmetic

>> No.11241724

>>11241675
ok im with you - so banks are going to all start recognizing the same stablecoins. the insurance companies are going to use those stablecoins with chainlink and write smart contracts to pay out.

Why wouldn't they just use the existing system to payout if its all done behind the scenes, who cares? You are still relying on the banks implementation of a chainlink contract that gives the end user no control.

>> No.11241734

>>11241600
It would make sense that Sergey would wait until he did to do the ICO and begin the project. Of course they've had their foot in the water by making smart oracles for institutions like Swift. Now that smart contracts are just barely starting to be spoken about in mainstream channels, so this is the perfect time to get in early, make the ultimate product, and capture the market before it goes totally mainstream. It does make sense now.

>> No.11241768

i'm trying to figure out the use case - Ive read the whitepapers and still can't figure it out.

>I want to pay my hourly employees each month, i write a smart contract to gather my intacct punches via rest API and then build a contract and pay them
Why wouldn't I just pay them directly in whatever crypto they wanted after I gathered time? What does chainlink solve?

Contractor needs to buy shit to do my job, most need payment upfront

>I want to buy netflix

They only have two developers and one of them has studied philosophy in kindergarten. Chainlink worth more than $1 is defeating the purpose of the coin

>> No.11241828

>>11241724
You're getting there, but this has nothing to do with stablecoins. Chainlink will be attached to the only stablecoin that matters, fiat. Through swift, stripe, paypal, anything they do will essentially be instantly converted to fiat. Look at the teams hackathon projects from last week. Understand the implications. All theyre doing is taking existing systems, adding trust to the transactions and data, while leveraging the existing immunability and proof of records.

Well Chainlink just enables smartcontracts to be used by institutions in real world applications in a secure and trustless manner. I guess your question would be better answered by exploring the potential use cases of smartcontracts. I would imagine that it probably wouldn't be too useful to a laborer or a farmer. Since Chainlink is described as B2b, it would probably have its strongest potential in institutions, companies, etc that have to manage large amounts of financial transactions, and ones that have accounting needs, payroll, and whatnot. Smart contracts can be triggered by other smart contracts, which gives a huge potential for automation. Thousands if not millions of paper pushers could be cut out of smart contracts go truly mainstream. I don't know too much in depth about the scope of the use case, I'm sure someone could expand on it and explain better. Ultimately what you think of Chainlink has to be based on whether you think smart contracts are a meme or not. The team seems professional and legit and I'm bullish on smart contracts long term so I'm all in Link

If you get 32m from an ICO you have no interest anymore in coding and putting effort into it. You will make parties all day, travel around world, meet woman, and have fun!

it seems like a lesser version of 0x which already has a ton more support (coinbase)
>https://github.com/maurelian/0x-contracts#contracts
0x is a decentralized way to swap tokens that can use any legacy apis.

But still, using my example of I want to pay hourly employees, they want paypal Id just scrape the timeclock api, pay to paypal api. Im missing what control the smart contract gives
>https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/
They want crypto?
>https://developers.coinbase.com/

In the end you are trusting a 3rd party anyway, paypal/coinbase.

>>11241944
Im really struggling to realize the timecard thing. I have hourly employees. I pay them monthly. I already have to have a server running an app to scrape timecard data and aggregate it over payperiod, because users clock into a secure system and I need to download timecard data/figure taxes per user.

What good does a contract do, vs just using that same app that is already aggregating my data and just doing a POST to a coinbase API to pay them? They already completed the work so its not dependent on anything.

Adding more developers to a software project can make the development slower because of increased communication overhead. It's basic of the basic in software engineering. read classics like Brooks. There are also cases like digg (anyone still remembers it?) where they hired 40 devs because they could, only to find out later that 40 devs cost a lot of money, a lot more than they should be spending on monthly basis.
