I was actually at a bay area McDonald's yesterday and I spotted Sergey and Jason parser in a booth enjoying big Macs and mc nuggets with an assortment of dipping sauces. Huge soft drinks too.

I was really excited and approached them and started talking about how I think smart contracts are going to be huge and the swift partnership etc.

Sergey then gave me the nastiest look possible dipped a mcnugget in sweet and sour and threw it right at my face and screamed "FUCK OFF!"

I left immediately and logged on to binance to trade my link for ETH. Sergey is an asshole guys.

You can operate a node without token
Big business don't have to buy in, because sergey distributes the other 350million tokens to them
Link will basically be worthless
All this is about lowering the fees for normal contracts and bonds about 95%
Everyone believing link will be 100$ or god forbid even 100$ is beyond delusional or doesn't know why he bought it

Please explain, Linkies:
If this ever happened, what's to stop someone from making a copy and paste clone of ChainLink that just uses incentives based in ETH or some other coin instead of LINK?

People looking to rent out their computing resources as oracles would flock to the bigger market - not to mention that it would be inevitable once operating a LINK node actually became expensive.

Because the US dollar doesn't run on the sort of trustless system that cryptocurrencies provide. You can't send USD to a smart contract like you can with LINK or ETH. It also wouldn't work with the proposed proof of stake system used by nodes.

that's exactly what's already happening, only instead of even being based on link's code (of which they dont have much to show for thsmelves) it will be just a layer like or integrated into plasma.

if ethereum is where 85-90% of all tokens and applications are, why bother with an external chain when ethereum is the only place that needs that data?

and of course, the real elephant in the room, financial institutions, banks, etc, will never buy link, but a small % of them do already own ether.

A chain-agnostic tool would probably have a better future than what you’re describing, since Ethereum’s chink knockoff Neo and similar chains will definitely increase in size as they offer developers way more options for writing contracts with popular languages. Also faster transaction speeds. Ethereum is fucked if crypto skeleton doesn’t implement sharding in the next year or so.

The goal of smartcontracts is to cut out the middleman thus lowering fees and make it trustless
Low fees is the endgame
Big institutions will run nodes and use the network because their business profits from the lower fees and other advantages from smartcontract they don't want to get rich with LINK

>> No.6930339

People would flock to the chance of running oracle nodes for ETH or some other popular coin. Developers would probably find it easier that they didn’t have to buy a token to get their contracts up and running. It’s inevitable.

>> No.6930525

>>6930323
you can't make it trustless without nodes being run by people or companies that aren't them and nodes can't not have a significant cost associated with with running or someone would create a 1k on their own and launch a sybil attack.

>> No.6930631

>>6930339
Sure, but I see two problems.
1) The Price of one ETH is not entirely dependant on the Network but also on various other factors. IMO this could complicate how the fees are calculated and thus complicate the setup of the contract.
2) Sergey has a shitton of token laying around as incentive for cooporations to try it out. You would not be able to do this with an established coin

>> No.6930711

>>6930323
for example one of the middlemen sergey suggests that the chainlink network would be cutting out would be DTCC to which SWIFT member banks pay 20 million dollars each year. You can significantly reduce that price and still leave a very large profit margin for node operators assuming people will spin up enough nodes to where the ROI settles to wherever the free market decides is the true value, which would be some percentage of the value of the link the node has. The last documentation update seemed to suggest that smart contract writers could in fact pay nodes in things other than link, which would decrease token velocity and prevent them from having to fiddle with link if they didn't want to, so the only people actually having to deal with the tokens are node operators.

>> No.6930728

>>6930323
There has to be financial incentive to run nodes, if there wasnt it would be doomed to fail anyway because nobody would bother to run them. Big institutions will be given Link as an incentive to invest in the needed infrastructure. It is also in their best interests that he tokens bring good ROI since they will be investing real money into the project in the hopes that the token will be worth a lot more in the future.

>> No.6931198

>>6930788
To be honest with you I haven´t looked at the whitepaper I am just reasoning here with common sense. Sergey and his team have been tackling this problem for years. I am pretty sure they have a system drawn up that works and have accounted for loads and loads of problems we havent even thought about and made a plan to make it work.

People will always be selling link to pay bills etc. if the price is right... the fact that there are only 1billion tokens is a good thing.

My point is that big institutions will form a network through chainlink which benefits each other in form of what chainlink/blockchain has to offer
Not on the token itself
The ROI will be way lower then what 4chan turds are expecting

I don't think anyone doubted that at least initially the network would be mostly corporate nodes. But the ICO, the coinciding of Chainlink going online at the same time as PDS2 going into full force, their intentional hiring of Thomas and his engagement with the community (which says a lot considering they don't engage in any other way; if what you're saying is true Sergey [who has demonstrated himself to be very methodical and intentional] wouldn't have hired someone like Thomas at all, and he is more than willing to engage with regular joes on slack, gitter, reddit, etc. on setting up nodes. If they had no intention of making it truly decentralized thomas would just be talking to the same people sergey is), and what this document seems say all suggest (https://www.swiftinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/SIWP-2016-001-Impact-Open-APIs-FINAL.pdf)) they've thought about the risks and benefits of a slightly more than notionally decentralized system and have deemed it something worth pursuing.
Data itself is cheap and everyone knows this (PDS2 and all); ensuring it's secure enough to automate multimillion dollar contracts is slightly more expensive. I completely agree chainlink holders on this board have become delusional and all the presale buyers have left. If you think you're going to "make it" with a few thousand you will be sorely dissapointed.
