Wen Chainlink

[Anonymous No.8154655]

I’m the CEO of a relatively large scale Ethereum startup who wishes that Chainlink was operational because secure oracles that aren’t susceptible to downtime are a necessity for the advancement of practical smart contracts with real world use cases.

I would definite Chainlink’s largest competitor that I’m aware of, oraclize.it, as a central point of failure.

Why would you choose Chainlink over Oraclize? Apart from more secure data transactions, what are the reasons?
What will your startup do with CL?

I’m admittedly not one of the elite code minds behind our project, through I do have a pretty solid understanding of software dev and infosec.

That said, “secure data transactions” is the only reason I’d choose Chainlink over Oraclize. Secure data transaction is defined by sensitive data not leaking. Our oracle-reliant data is simply our token’s price against USD. A failsafe mechanism we will employ in the event of oracle failure is a schellingcoin style price reporting *~! decentralized ~*! “voting” process.

>>8154735
Our startup most likely won’t do anything with CL as we will build out a network of consensus validation oracles ourselves in the absence of a launched, tried and true CL.

Yeah. $32mm is enough for them to buy the right help. What they’re proposing is technologically possible and in high demand. I’m optimistic about secure decentralized oracles in general. It’s a necessary evolution, and for the sake of /biz/ I hope Chainlink delivers an industry standard.

Unfortunately we expect to be fully operational before before Chainlink is field tested. LINK is a lot like EOS in that if either projects deliver on their whitepapers the space will continue its rapid evolution.

Can't wait till centralized oracles will ease chainlinks inefficient muh decentralization approach. Can't wait till people realize that Ethereum can not scale enough for all the consensus processing and reputation system for every little API call.

People can choose to just use a single ChainLink node if security isn't a major factor. ChainLink absorbs centralised oracles as it offers the same service they do and more.

[Anonymous No.8155887]

>>8155781
you know that CL doesn't need ethereum? By default they will work on ETH, BTC and hyperledger and can literally support any smart contract platform in the future
>>8155712
By the power of kek and these digits (check em) I demand you to use chainlink

[Anonymous No.8156112]

>>8155779
Perhaps both. No clue.

>>8155781
Oracles aren’t centralized if they’re hosted in multiple data centers, programmed in different languages and running on different operating systems as to prevent an x% 0day attack, and calling the same requests and forming consensus on the response data. Pools of oracle nodes operating on multithreaded DPoS distributed ledgers also seems an interesting concept. As do distributed ledger nodes doubling as oracles in addition to being block producers. This is something I would like to POC personally if I had the time.

If your argument is that decentralized oracles cannot be fast and cost effective I’m confident that you will live to see your argument dismantled.

[Anonymous No.8156113]

>>8155878
In this sense, 1 oracle node = 1 API gateway. Use it for REST, GraphQL, whatever you want...

Interesting to see that CL also serves use cases that don't require decentralized oracles (though those are likely far and few between)

How so? The meat and potatoes of most API responses don’t contain critically sensitive information. “Trusted” API itself can be a central point of failure. Perhaps the “oracle problem” can be solved, and then work can begin on solving the API problem with similar methods.

it's not always mentioned but
i see adaptability as one of the key features of chainlink
sergey always emphasize this
you can choose what kind and how many oracles should be used over which period of time for what kind of data and how much you want to pay for it and its blockchain agnostic

It's probably legit. It's also not really a big deal. If you've actually worked with CL and set up an alpha node, he's just talking about stuff we already know about.

Now, if he were to say his company would actually use CL...I'd be interested. As far as I know, it's just link marines running and using alpha nodes right now
