>What is Chainlink?
Chainlink is a decentralized network of oracles reliably inputting data to smart contracts.
>What are smart contracts?
Automatically executing digital contracts, which will replace future legal agreements, where a contract executes on its own instead being executed by either party in the contract.
>What is the LINK token and why do I want to buy it?
The LINK token is what Oracle operators require to operate. Operators lock away huge stacks of LINK in their Oracles because the more they lock away, the pricier the contract they can submit info to.
>Why don't Oracle operators just get paid in USD?
Because the network runs on LINK tokens. The more usage the network gets, the pricier each token becomes.
>How do I buy LINK tokens?
Currently you can only buy LINK from cryptocurrency exchanges, but soon there will be official, direct gateways to convert USD/LINK, EURO/LINK, ETC.
>How are oracles decentralized?
Decentralized means anyone, not a select few, can run an Oracle and upload information. A reputation system is built in that punishes niggers who submit bad information, and rewards people who submit true information.
>What decides the information I submitted is true?
The network decides, based on majority rule, which is effectively the only way to decide. Based on the reward/punishment system in the previous question, operators who take their job seriously won't risk losing it over being persuaded to upload wrong information.

I have a childhood buddy that became friends with a rich, but quiet dude. He keeps to himself, very smart, but fairly balanced. He invited us out to hang out for a meal at a restuarant. He paid.

While drinking dinner with him and my buddy, I asked? I figured why the hell not? I have nothing to loose.

He told me to get to understand Chainlink. I asked him if he has skin in the game and he said he'll be starting up a company to support the network. I saw his reply as a serious hint that this project could be absolutely huge. So I read an article on it made by the Oracle and checked out some other places.

Those who know about this project in more detail please drop some serious breadcrumbs.

I want to learn as much as I can. I am willing to buy more of the project and seriously get involved. I also read a lot, but the impact of this project is quite dense. Let's be honest.

"I wouldn't even consider Chainlink a crypto desu".

Not sure what a desu refers to, but with the real world API access alone to pair blockchain smart contracts from the current silo'd environments, thats a game-changer.

Go to the archive and look for threads from around December 2017 to March/April 2018 with a focus around Jan/Feb 2018. Some of those threads were absolute gold. A lot of connections were speculated and we still aren’t sure about. 2019 will be the year a lot is revealed about this project.

I just finished reading the article from CNBC.
So far, I've read the MIT articles, FORBES, and NASDAQ. Also reading the material from the anonymous posting with the breadcrumbs.

If anyone could test me on my knowledge or give me questions to help with my learning on this project, I would be duly grateful.

As crazy as this sounds, I think it may be fate that led my friend to meet this new guy.

If it weren't for that, I would not have seriously begun studying this project. The guy looked me dead in the eye and said he's starting a company to support the ecosystem. He's works a lot and I don't know him that well, so it's not like I could go and bug him about the details of Chainlink.

But please test me as I want to learn and maybe work for him build his business. I have a Bachelors in Business, btw. I want to become an entrepreneur myself and be rich like the new guy. But everything is a learning process, and I have patience (but do not sqaunder time).

Yeah, it was one of the first articles I read. I've read all of them. So I'm somewhat familiar with the concepts and the different use cases.

It's clear the world is moving to one of increased populism and border-bickering, but the thing I think that may continue to unite people is technology. I mean hell, there's a chance if I dedicate the time I will be well-versed in the technology.

Oh yeah, I just text my friend and asked if knew if the rich guy knew about ethereum and bitcoin and he said yeah, he's known about for a long time. Chance he made money on those also.

The surveillance will all be normal to them, making this generation the perfect breed for ((them)) to shape society as they see fit.

All of this will be building up to the releasing of breadcrumbs about our true origin, existence of aliens, previous civilizations on earth, all before the climax of project bluebeam where a charismatic individual will unite humanity under a one world government and propel us toward spiritual enlightenment, fulfilling all guidelines on the georgia guidestones and preparing us for entry into the galactic federation

take it with a grain of salt though, because truth is bunch of 4channers tried to force it as /ourcoin/, during the presale ico phase of chainlink there was a minimum requirement of 300eth to enter the presale. Bunch of anons pooled up together and shared presale links to fill them with their eth. Coin continued to get shilled and pumped up and hyped for the sibios event that link was attended, whole event turned out to be a flop chainlink had a presentation in a room of like 18 people next to the public toilets, literally no news or partnership came from the event and the coin dumped back to below ico prices and created 1000's of bagholder anons. Now during this alt bull run lots of anons and took advantage of this and shilling this coin to all the new money and newfags that joined in december and don't know this story. The coin is HEAVILY manipulated and the supply is dried up from huge whales who accumulated below ICO price to create a artificially lower supply (a lot like REQ) and these people have so much room to dump on all of you faggots to still be in profit when the time comes. In regards to actual project that chainlink aiming to achieve it's nothing more than a basic json parser for smart contracts, would take like a day to add to ethereum by itself.. literally making links whole concept pointless and definitely no need for a token. Would take a lot longer to get it working with bitcoin but the bitcoin core devs would be able to work out the solution a lot quicker than chainlink will, think that's something worth noting that literally nothing is completed and you're literally just buying a whitepaper, they have only 2 developers and they don't communicate at all with no proven background on either, in fact sergey was involved in a project before chainlink called NxT that he since been abandoned until it was took over by a new developer team

watch the fireside chat with gonser if you want to understand how chainlink can play a pivotal role in this emerging digital economy.

most anons called it a nothing burger because there was no announcement. but the key takeaways are that: a) gonser himself is shilling LINK to huge corporations and b) he's helping Sergey navigate these types of uncharted waters that gonser himself once did.

he recognized the disruptive potential of the technology and if things play out correctly, sees potential in a VAST number of applications that can and will save industries billions and billions of dollars.

Listen I genuinely care about about Anons financial well being. Its hard as shit to get ahead in life now, not just working 9-5 for the rest of your life. The sooner you start saving the sooner you can get ahead in life.

Chainlink is a meme started by 4chan (an infamous trolling board) to lead people to financial ruin. This is NOT A JOKE. Don't let your saved wealth be thrown away over night.

Vitalik Buterin the creator of ethereum said himself the days of making x100 or x1000 are over, that right the guy who created the second most popular crypto said himself those days are over.

Now 4chan is trying to get people to lose even more money after the December/January bloodbath. Smart money already exited the crypto world. Crypto is basically a highly specialized database, companies don't need this. They will just create their own private blockchains. There is no need for crypto chainlink isn't even needed to run the nodes. Think XRP when you think chainlink. The company ripple (smartcontracts) is doing well but the coin XRP(chainlink) isn't even needed for the companies technology.

Considering what Vitalik said "The days of making x100 or x1000 returns are over." Chainlink needs a 399900% increase in price over the next couple of months to reach $1000 this is ludicrous. Don't fall for it, chainlink its a meme to fuck you over.

Consider this for chainlink at current price to reach $1 you need an increase of 700% or a 233% increase every month until EOY.

This is a 4chan meme to siphon money out of the hands of the already vulnerable.

Not mindless speculation but they are all speculation. Many connections through twitter followes. Many of these companies are saying they are using apis and open source blockchain tech. Many have stated they are using oracles in a decentralized way or they are utilizing auto executing smart contracts. World econonuc forum praised sergey and smart contract (the company he runs). Chainlink did a successful poc with swift and showed that chainlink could automate their bond payment processes. Many different people have written articles flat out confirming that chainlink is partnered with swift but if swift doesn't make an announcement that tgey are partnered everyone will call it speculation even though there will likely never be an announcement because that is now how major companies operate.

From my reading, it appears each transaction conducted on the network will require a payment, no matter how nominal the pricing element is. The fact that the contracts are enforceable, and nodes are incentivized to secure the network, and allow for network users the trustless/tamper-proof allows for new business models we've yet to see carry out. I'm still rough in my understanding but I get the additional value of this network--at the basic level. Thank you everyone testing my understanding.

The importance of the token is not so much paying out node operators but rather node operators staking the token on the network.
A finacial incentive is absolutely necessary to prevent Sybil attacks. If nodes have no skin in the game then there would be no punishment for gaming the outcome of contracts.
Brings into question how much $ nodes would have to stake in order to accept a contract. No one knows yet as we have nothing to go off of but I would assume*** that the total amount staked is worth more then the entire contract because the value of the contract should be covered by at least 51% of the nodes so it is not profitable to Sybil.

In comparison, ETH ADA EOS all these smartcontract platforms are like Webdevelopers. They built websites but HTTP doesn't exist yet. So no one can use the them. Chainlink is the connectivity. It is the equivelent to the HTTP protocol of the internet stack. except in blockchain stack the HTTP protocol, LINK, is a token you can invest and capture the value of connectivity.

The whole point of a decentralized pipeline is that not one centralized entity controls the data fed into a smartcontract.

The whole purpose of this space is to automate contractual agreements. You can 't do it without decentralization.

But if all data is from a single point of origin from the service's API, what's the point of decentralized oracles?

Consider the NYSE proprietary data-- NYSE actually owns the data and will be the sole point of origin.

It doesn't matter how many nodes there are that are incentivized to tell the truth about a certain piece of data if they are all retrieving it from a centralized single point of failure.

In that case, an oracle is not really an "oracle" at all in the sense that is validating real world data to ensure accuracy, it is just a mechanism for consensus about data from apis.

Chainlink doesn’t say information X is correct and true, chainlink only says that information X sent from person A to person B hasn’t been tampered with, so you are absolutely certain information x came from person A.

By removing trust from the value transaction equation, contracts can become automated using computer networks which respond to human activity.

But how do you get that data on the blockchain? A (until now centralized) oracle. WHICH IS STILL A SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE IN MOVING THE DATA TO THE CONTRACT.

Decentralizing the point of attack where the data enters the blockchain significantly reduces the ability of bad actors or unforseen computer glitches from disrupting the process by which a smart contract can call data to self-execute, to the point you need to worry about data integrity, only the data you want to use.

Ultimately the middle-layer protocols in the blockchain stack will create the most value, similar to the Internet stack. Unlike the Internet, though, the invention of the token allows the protocol to capture the value created rather than simply providing a free standard upon which applications build their business models.

The blockchain stack will be different from the Internet stack in that there will be Chainlink instead of a HTTP protocol to power most impactful applications/smartcontracts. Oracles will be the connectivity for different applications or business domains which contain their own unique token. Hence why it is important that Chainlink is blockchain agnostic.

Chainlink is so far the standard middle-layer protocols which will capture the value of staking, commissions, colateral value and other protocol usage fees. In a way, it is the HTTP 2.0 for blockchains.

just think about that for one secone. Imagine if you can atcually own a piece of the internet via a token. It would be worth more then any website created. more then Amazon, google etc...
