Is LINK the sure thing of 2018 like ETH was last year?

I think it's because almost no one new to this space realizes how revolutionary smart contracts are and how CL is the only way, as of now at least, that they will be able to be used off-chain, thus having any real use case.

You forgot 0x

This in combination with Sergey actively trying to keep a low profile and reddit instantly dismissing it as a Veeky Forums-meme IMO.

Yes.

>I didn't buy ETH cheap because I was waiting for it to dip to $2 again

2018
>I didn't buy chainlink cheap because I was waiting for it to dip sub $1

Buy now or get left behind

My love for ICX just keeps growing

Its exactly the same deal. i didn't listen to the autists then, but i sure as fuck listened now.

I could have been rich if i just actually paid attention to the ETH shills and did my own research

More likely its DGB 2.0. Oh wait, 90% of /nubiz/ doesn't know about DBG.

AXA??

Please give source or more details. I work at axa and gonna drop the whitepaper on my bosses desk saying it's gonna change the derivatives market.

The Sibos PoC was a Contract set up between AXA and Sony.

I am all in, 1/3 each in ZRX/REQ/LINK. Will I make it?

just put in 100$ this better buy me a house next year

...

...

Yes, it's the definition of an inevitability
I don't chase the market anymore and have 'retired' to LINK

during this dip one thing is important to remember...
youtube.com/watch?v=o1o5o2m6Stg
hold.

my portfolio for the year is gonna be 80% eth 20% link and not gonna look at anything till december

Eth never was a sure thing we would have a lot more millionaires here
People talked down on eth like they talk down on link
But will link succeed as eth did?
Nobody can tell

Link
>real use coin that solves the Oracle problem, no real competition

DGB
>Bitcoin, but better! Also never recovered after it's first PnD

No user, youre the newfag

Thanks lads. Just seen the signatories on smartcontract dot com.

I don't work for the parent company (insurance) but we do a lot of derivatives - hence my interest in link.

My post was just some random user obviously, but there's an official AXA post out there that actually says that Fizzy is using an in-house oracle (though it doesn't say they are thinking of changing). So the anons post kind of makes sense since decentralization would be stronger and they probably don't want to enter the oracle making business.

I think LINK and REQ are still at amazing positions to buy in at for long-term holds. I just wish I got accumulated more.

It could be at $5 EOY for all I know, but I know when it's time comes, it will be worth the wait.

Will I make it with 20k REQ?

EOM*

>He didn't reserve 10% of his stack to chase useless brainlet moon missions to accumulate even more LINK/REQ

Unless you're a weak cunt who sells when it reaches $10, then yes, you will make it.

...

Didn't DGB pump like 1000x? I mean shit I hope it's the next digibyte. Shit look at the chart at the moment, it'd down but compared to where it started it's pretty fucking significant. I'll baghold for a few months for a 1000x, no problem

Is the bottom right ZRX? If not, I am fucked.

it may as well be, I just don't have that meme yet.
What if I told you the triforce was actually 3 dimensional

This will be the video I will return to at every dip, and just imagine the enemy to be the new flavour of the month/quarter

This will either be the most legendary underdog story in the crypto market, or the biggest kek. Either way, it will be a fun ride. Last two digits is EOY $ price. I reckon $50-65

It's Quantstamp. After LINK/REQ, there's a bunch of tokens/coins that fit into the third place.

Quantstamp
0x
iExec
Kyber Network
ICX

So your ZRX is a decent third choice.

Can someone, once and for all, IN LAYMEN TERMS, explain the Oracle Problem and why its a significant thing?

Will Link be available on more exchanges in the near future?

Accidental quoting dont mind.

ZRX is a good choice
but no the one in the pic is quantstamp

official Veeky Forums "nobody gets left behind" 2018 patricians choice:

ETH (for flippening)
LINK
REQ
ICX
ZRX
OMG

grannys gamble:
XRB

real world data can't connect to/interact with the blockchain.

...

In order for smart contracts to be viable you MUST be able to trust that the data being fed into it is true. That's the problem chainlink solves.

Almost certainly yes, but the team absolutely refuses to comment on it. Sergey follows only one exchange, Poloniex, so it's likely that will happen at some point. That said, binance is pretty good now and has the most volume so it's a good choice.

When did you stinky linkies get so tasteful

Anything shilled heavily on Veeky Forums do the opposite of.

Not just that. But the nodes will allow for trustless smartcontracts, which ensures that the terms of the contract is executed exactly as stated.

Decentralized oracles is what keeps the financial world from utilizing smartcontracts in the first place. When a centralized oracle can fuck you over, the whole point of smartcontracts evaporates.

Hashflare is the easiest site to cloud mine ETH out there, i've started last week and it's working just fine.
Buy Scrypt, SHA-256, ETHASH, EQUIHASH hashrates with any Debit Card, and you are good to go !

Thanks, saved. I bought ZRX because I thought the protocol seemed interesting.

What do you think the chances are of any of the 7 being added to Coinbase?

Was there a thread about the `patricians choice'?

oh lawd!!

kek'd so much

My Chainlink holdings turned into ~$50k. I'm all in and intend to keep it like 90% chainlink, but I'm thinking of dumping a few thousand into something else, maybe SophiaTX or Lamden. Are those a good idea? I like the other picks in this thread and the triforce but those already have such high market caps...

Ethereum and Bitcoin were shilled heavily on biz, google the archives and you'll see why you need to be all in on Link atm

Oracles gather information for smart contracts. Right now oracles are typically centralized third parties. Chainlink wishes to bridge all required information through a decentralized oracle network, thereby solving a point of failure for all smart contracts.

That's how I missed the ODN moon..

Never again.

>SophiaTX or Lamden

Just go to some crypto casino instead. Your odds are better there.

If you want in on a legit project with a semi-low marketcap, just look towards iExec.

If you're going for that approach, always good to have some optionality, unless you're dollar cost averaging with more fiat. Why not a mix of some high-risk low mc, and some ETH in case a promising ICO comes along or the flippening happens

I swear to god shit like this will lead to mistrust of firms into chainlink you know what happens when a firm get associated with Veeky Forums. I'm really curious about what Sergey thinks if he read all the bullshit about him and his firm.

Even if he thought philanrophic in the beginning to give some neets the chance to make some serious money. I'm sure he will not like all the bullshit and may re-brand the mainnet on order to get of the Veeky Forums pairing

people made 10x+ on DGB. If you bought early you'd still be up by loads

Sergey is trying to keep a low profile but these fucking Veeky Forums autists just can't let go of him

smart contracts are functionally cucked if they have no way to bring in data from the outside world onto the blockchain. there is one way to bring in that data, and that is an "oracle". an oracle is middleware between the blockchain and the outside world.

the "oracle problem" is how can we trust an oracle is providing correct data to a smart contract? chainlink solved this by decentralizing the oracles; where consensus had to be reached between the many oracles on a certain data point, so the smart contract can be certain the information it is recieving is correct. correct data (aka 51% of nodes agreeing) means those nodes get paid a fee in LINK and the nodes that provided the wrong data get paid nothing (or even banned/fined from the network).

so now if i code a smart contract that needs to know the price of google stock at midday on monday, and i get 200 oracles telling me its $273.00 per and 10 oracles telling me its $3.50, i can be pretty sure its $273.00.

Accessing Off-Chain data requires an Oracle to translate this data into a "Language" the Chain understands.
This oracle needs to be trusted to deliver the right data.
THIS is the oracle problem.
Chainlink solves it by using a network of decentralized oracles and reaching a consensus among them ( very simplified obviously)

convince me to halve my btc position and buy more LINK pls

I just read about elf. I might need to fork some of my links to get in on that.

This is why we can't have nice things. the turbo autists will make sure that our tokens will be worthless

Cap this

>inb4 Sergay gives up on LINK and the real world adoption of smart contracts will be delayed thanks to bunch of autists from a mongolian basketweaving forum

probably none. also i forgot VEN which is my chinese check'ems "if the gooks dont fuck this up" comedy option

Yeah, just like ETH right?

where can i buy chainlink coin?

But Vitalik is already a known pedo, so association with an anime forum cannot hurt him

You're gonna hate my whites only node then.

So i didn't fuck up by buying at 00105 ETH? Its going back up soon, right?

Binance

binance.com/trade.html?symbol=LINK_BTC

binance.com/trade.html?symbol=LINK_ETH

how is chainlink exactly linking offchain data and smartcontracts? i mean software wise. i know its an oracle, but how does it technically connect each other?

the eth pair just got fucked because of eth mooning. It'll be fine.

Seriously man, if anyone is too brainlet to not get what ChainLink does and how big it will be, they don't deserve it. This place is infested with greedy and impatient newfags and I hope they go all in onto a pump and dump.

How the fuck have I not seen this. Love you faggots.

Thanks. It's rare to get proper responses these days.

sounds interesting

the year is 2018, the year of our lord sergey

>possibly THE key to mainstream smart contracts is rank 97 on CMC
>not undervalued

Pick one, trenchbrain.

Looked into it, seems pretty gay

I'm hodling like 6 coins ATM in addition to chainlink, half of them have already mooned and given me nice profits, strongly considering just dumping them all into chainlink and waiting.

Sell everything except AGRS and put it in LINK.

Dude shut the fuck up i aint saying Shit about racism or sjw im Sitzung myself on 15k links but i prefer to play it silent rather than shouting out autistic memes So someday ishoot myself in the knee

Captcha: maruyuama picos

its too risky to go all in on, I wish i didn't have so much on it but I don't want to sell any either

external data > oracle > blockchain
The oracle takes the external data and translates it into a form the blockchain understands.

> tfw AXA is shittiest bank in Belgium

hehehehe see you guys in a few months when this inevitably crashes

Someone ELI5 what LINK does..?
I kept falling for the FUDDers calling it stinky linky and pajeetcoin... I wanted to buy it at $0.30 and $0.90 after it dropped from a dollar to...

How does the ChainLonk token come into play?

Fuck off brainlet. Weak hands are not welcome here.

Give a real world example
