I'm the asshole that's been posting technical breakdowns of why Chainlink is practically useless.

Figured it couldn't hurt to do this the other way and make a thread for people to ask me any questions about Chainlink they may have. I suspect a lot of new holders are recent people who bought the bags of people who already knew it was a scam, and you may be curious why what you bought is worthless.

I'll try to be nice and answer questions honestly. I totally expect most conversation here to be dumb memes and shilling but why not try.

>>14672386

Google posted a blog showing how you could query data using their BigQuery platform. They just want to drum up interest in BigQuery.

Oracle said they would help some startups partner with Chainlink. No idea what that really means but Oracle is old shit in the software world. If you ever talk to an engineer they'll explain that Oracle essentially bribes managers and higher ups to buy expensive software contracts then they just force the workers to use their shitty software and pay expensive contracting fees to make it actually work.

Coinbase also has XLM and ETC. Coinbase just cares about volume as they make money off of fees.

>>14672405

Frankly it annoys me. Especially now that people are assuming its a serious option for decentralized oracles now that the price jumped.

>>14672424

Because they don't know what they've purchased and what makes LINK and similar scam coins valuable is a group of die hard advocates that will bring other fools into the fold. It's like an MLM.

>>14672566

If your company would use their solution you can just roll with a much simpler version yourself that doesn't cost LINK.

Have your contract whitelist one address you have the key to. Run a server that has access to the private key. Your contract can request data by emitting an event. The server subscribes to this event type. When it happens the server gets that data however you want then uses the key to provide it for the contract. It's that easy.

If its data from a smart contract they can all just use it. The Ethereum blockchain is public. There's no need for any middleman at all.

now considering my company would take your advice, what are the ramifications?
well now we have an incredibly critical server to manage and protect (having access to private key and being the single trust of contract execution). the amount of money and risk involved in securing and managing this server, at least for smaller businesses, would far outweigh the benefits of creating it in house. not to mention the cost of development, software licensing, and paying all the SMEs needed to create it, manage it, and protect it.

You would have an incredibly critical server to manage and protect anyway. You'd be running the Chainlink Node in their current architecture already.

Let's assume you want someone else to run it though. Why? Then its a critical server that you're just trusting someone to run and provide data. Again, there is no decentralization or Chainlink node validation in place.

It also is not expensive or hard to manage a server. Every software company has servers that are mission critical they manage. You're reaching a bit out of your zone of knowledge here.

will the centralized feed implement transferAndCall or what? how would billing work? or are you saying they should roll their own homebrew version of a chainlink node and hardcode that to point to a centralized feed? Just a few bullet points would be cool.

Ok.

I'm saying it's not difficult to get trusted centralized data on chain. The only thing that makes it difficult it making it trustless and decentralized. Chainlink doesn't do this.

The problem is that you, and others, desperately want to believe there is a reason someone would want to use what they are providing. The reality is there isn't a use case for what they've actually built.

There would absolutely be a use case for what they promised.

There is no need to run a Chainlink Node because the locally run equivalent is probably a 100 line program that subscribes to logs, proxies log data requests into an HTTP request, and signs a transaction on your contract. Its a very easy piece to build.

I already laid it out. I think you're confused because of how simple it is to do yourself. it's nowhere even approaching this grand glorious endeavor you make it out to be.

Rolling your own in house Chainlink system:

> Your contract has an authorized data entry address
> You have a server that controls the private key for that address
> Your contract can emit an event to request data
> Your server subscribes to that event (this is built in to Ethereum provider libraries. Its that simple)
> When an event happens the server signs a transaction on your contract to provide the data

That's it! It's incredibly easy. There is no loss of security compared to running your own Chainlink node and you've reduced complexity immensely while also giving your team the freedom to build your own stack.

I don't think you're actually coming form a good faith position at this point by the way but I promised to try and be nice.

>Its just a token they recommend you pay yourself when putting data into your own contracts.

That's technically true if you're both a node operator and a data provider, but in practice that will not generally be the case. Yes, big enterprises will probably want to run their own node(s) but the majority of data will be coming from smaller companies using community-maintained nodes powered by OSS external adapters. The lack of trust between these parties necessitates a token, and that token can't simply be e.g. ETH because Chainlink wants its market for API data not to be tied to the ETH market, which is completely separate

If Chainlink is a scam why would all these partners officially release a statement about a partnership?

It's actually even easier than running your own server to just use Chainlink nodes. Then, you also have the option of requesting multiple oracles, using data aggregation, using authenticated APIs, and more. But, your complaints so far have fundamentally been about the vision of Chainlink vs its current implementation. It's still in development. They're centralized KYC nodes now, it's going to transition into decentralized nodes over time. Can't have catastrophic failure destroy the network in its early days. As it turns out, they don't need to break down their development plan to you. If you haven't noticed, they're one of the only teams in the space who underpromise and overdeliver. Not a peep out of them about partnerships, or other scam tactics used by most projects. They just work, and you just win. It's that easy.

FUD man, all your FUD boils down to making the claim that because chainlink is currently centralized, it is a scam. You say it is currently better to roll your own, and you imply (or claim) that chainlink will never make good on their vision to implement a decentralized oracle solution.

Both of these points are silly. First, hardening a server is not as easy as it sounds. It is much better to rely on security experts to do it (presumably chainlink node operators are). This is in much the same way that it is easier to rely on AWS than it is to maintain your own servers.

Two, just because chainlink doesn't yet have a decentralized network up and running doesn't mean it won't in the near future. This promise contains risk, of course, but it wouldn't really be an investment without some risk now would it?

To accept data from multiple sources you can expand that list, but it's still all known verified manually nodes.

The tokenomics of the LINK token.

1. Chainlink nodes will be paid in LINK tokens only. There will be conversion tools for people that want to use fiat but will be converted to LINK. at the end of the day only LINK tokens can power the network since the nature of ERC-677 token, built specifically for LINK, is to transfer data.

2. LINK tokens are used as collateral value. Smartcontracts will use Chainlink nodes that carry a % value of LINK to the value of the Smartcontract. So yes, you can start a node without LINK but no one will use it. High value smartcontracts or any contract that has value will use nodes that carry the same or a % of value of LINK.

3. Decentralized networks that are home to smartcontracts will need decentralized data to execute. Chainlink is currently the only option. Thats why you will see everyone in this space partner with Chainlink

In general, the purpose of Chainlink is a network that incentives truthful data provided by individuals running LINK nodes (aka known as mining 2.0) while also providing compensation to smartcontracts just in case false data was used to trigger an agreement.

So, price rises not only to meet the insured needs of smartcontracts but also because LINK node miners (mining 2.0) are making money providing this service. Also, the bigger the smartcontract economy becomes the demand for high value LINK nodes follow. pushing $LINK price

Interestingly the tokenomics makes LINK a measure of value to the data being transferred in the network

The more data the higher the LINK price becomes
The more valued data the higher the LINK price becomes

>> No.14674200

>>14674182

So, In real world applications Smart contract creators will demand a certain level of reputation or amount of collateral, to be paid in LINK tokens, that suits the value of their smart contract. A $1 million bond would require a lot more collateral, than, say a smart contract dealing with $100. You wouldn't select the low rep/low collateral available nodes for something like a huge bond. Chainlink is actually targeting these high value contracts. Sergey has discussed at length why high value contracts in the financial world require a decentralized oracle: it puts all the risk onto the oracle rather than the smart contract creator. The smart contract creator doesn't risk losing money - the node operators do, if they. The Chainlink network is genius like that.

There is infinite amount of collateral available because the token price can rise to meet it.

Now you have to research how large ALL these markets are. derivatives, insurance etc... hint: Trillions.

The more LINK staked in the nodes, the more profit one can make running that node.
The more LINK staked in the nodes the bigger the smartcontract economy can become.
The more LINK staked in the nodes the more stable the network/connectivity becomes.
Finally
The more LINK staked in nodes the higher the price becomes.

We are witnessing something really special. The birth of the HTTP equivalent in Crypto.

People need to understand, there is no other competition. And actually, the more oracle networks that try to compete the less efficient the system becomes. Its like saying we have two Internets to use and people have to choose one of them for one site and the other internet for another site. Chainlink has become the standard and everyone will use it.

The problem with ETH is that I see it as a replaceable platform in the future. ETH is cashier #1, ADA is cashier #2, EOS is cashier #3 etc etc.

Anyway in the near term this is exactly why they are doing KYC to make a list of vetted node operators... they are literally making a list of multiple oraclizes for smart contract operators to choose from.

no it isnt you stupid fucking nigger. it is to ensure that when info is sent from a source point into a smartcontract, the info hasn;t been corrupted en route, whether by deliberate fraud or due to technical issues etc.

LINK solves this problem by having multiple inputs into the contract. if 10000 inputs say "x", and 300 say "y", then "x" is taken to be the correct value. it doesnt mean it is the right value, or the "truth", just that 10000 nodes give that value and only 300 the alterbative.

I think cloudfare going down should be one of the biggest reasons why people should see chainlink as a necessary tool for the smartcontract economy.

It's about self executing digital agreements. You cant have that when your data goes down or is corrupted. But for the sake of argument let's choose the first issue, downtime.

When A centralized feed like oraclize goes down. This would negate any benefit a smart contract offers the world.

With chainlink the data feed to smartcontracts is always on. There is no downtime. Everything else aside that is the most powerful reason to use chainlink as there is nothing like it.

You’re correct in this thread, but not always for the right reasons

It’s not about the Oracles being able to verify the correctness of its own answer. And isn’t there some basic schematization of inputs? Like

“Fuck this oracle lol”
converting to
0x4675636b2074686973206f7261636c65206c6f6c
converting to base 10
402247201715557074434606536588511489551940480876

Which would be some garbage answer that would lose you your staked reputation.


What people should be worried about are things like retirement attacks, where operators who cannot sell their reputation are incentivized to stake their reputation on a final stake.

Or considering how the reputation system could be gamed in the first place.

The point isn’t to help enter your own data is entered into the contract - you could do that with your own server, since you’ll need to guarantee uptime of your data feed anyway. But if you don’t have the data, or if you explicitly need data from a reputation based system, then I would imagine LINK makes sense.

We are not talking about stealing chewing gum and getting a slap on the wrist. If you want to have a chance at doing a heist on a smart contract which would benefit you if executed with false data, first you would have to invest the reputation and collateral to even have a shot at doing so, which is no guarantee at succeeding, and if trying again after losing the first time it becomes at least double the capital risk.

sure, that would be entirely up to the parties to the smart contract, which they would have agreed to in the drawing up of the contract.


however, each data generator would still be treated individually and would be a separate call on the network. the "aggregation" of the prices for the prices of the contract would not be LINK's business, but would be organised within the SC itself (would be pretty simple to do, just average the result of nultiple exchanges - LINK would already have done its work verifying each exchange separaley)

they can, and they do, but when it comes to triggering contractual clauses lawyers from each party scrutinize each other's data before signing off of it. smartcontracts are meant to be faster and cheaper than using lawyers to do that, and so a "trustless" mechanism needs to be in place to ensure that data entering the smartcontract is as reliable as possible. this is what oracles do.

>PY-EVM is a thing. You still have to write contracts in Solidity though. Serpent was python-like but its dead now.

OP demonstrated his ignorance here. How can you be a smart contract developer who knows about Uniswap, but doesn't know about Vyper? Seems like OP is a Dapp power user with delusions of grandeur.

This "just run your own server" thing is laughable. When Dropbox came out a bunch of kids on HN said "why do I need this, I can run my own server and use SSH", missing the point in exactly the same way.

You had success and just left a huge immutable trail of your misdeeds on a public blockchain. You can run, but as long as you try to spend in a society that has ties to that network you'll be found out. How is this dystopian implication not clear to you? Want to commit crime? You'll need an entire criminal paraller hidden network to spend what you stole. It's not the technology, it's the network and how much people want to use it and build on it. There's plenty of use cases that would undoubtedly benefit everyone, plenty that would cause revolts in the general population if attempted in this time in history. This is unrelated to LINK, they just saw this potential early.

Quick question. Why do you guys never address the fact that you're a BSV shill campaign?

How do we remove threads like this from ever having existed in the first place? So tired of all the LARPs with nothing better to do than shitpost for an entire day straight.

Get a job or go clean your room, anon.

Listen up newfags, I'm a tcp ip developer at a fortune 50 big data company with 25 years experience in database infosec, I've looked into chainlink and all I can tell you if that the cryptographic measures implemented in regards to the decentralized security paradigm in the API and IoT structure of chainlink's github code is fundamentally flawed after the Pivotal tracker server crashed due to the core attacks on the network enabled by its corrupt data inputs and outputs, what this really means is that by attempting to solve the oracle sybil resistance issue it instead allows customers to bypass the encrypted hardware and even hack into the smart contract Intel SGX mainframe, unless they manage to increase the signatures and scalable nodes, which isn't likely considering the Google backend isn't compatible with the legacy JSON systems and Solidity language from the EVM in the Truffle stacks, that's why the ic3 and SWIFT engineering teams developed the ISO 20220 standards but it's centralized and susceptible to the 51% front running program so yeah basically Sergey didn't foresee that the enterprise customers and cloud blockchain dapps would never allow their protocols to rely on these permissioned host mechanisms thus rendering the LINK ERC 677 token obsolete and no serious developer would consider DLT technology in these conditions, sorry linkies I'm just telling it how it is.
