Sergey is going to be on a panel at SXSW alongside Tom Gosner who is the founder of Docusign and currently sits on the board of directors. I don't believe that they will be making any announcements about partnerships, but I suspect that they've been working together for some time based on some info.

He did an interview last April which, has some of his insights about how e-signatures and smart contracts could work together. So it's clear that Docusign is interested in smart contracts and has used them before. But what's really interesting is if you read between the lines, screams ChainLink... When asked about the future of Docusign he says:

You’ll see contracts get smarter and smarter and smarter, and be able to do things more and more autonomously. That’s a humongous opportunity. Some of it is machine learning, and a lot of it is around data. In order for a contract to be smart, it has to get data from the outside world. It can get that from people when they fill out forms, but if you think about contracts becoming truly smart, there needs to be a way that it can get triggers from things to know that clauses need to be energized or payments need to be made, etc.

Plus, look at this post about the upcoming SXSW event, where he is obviously talking about LINK

Finally, we’ll hear from Sergey Nasarov, CEO of Smartcontract.com about the importance of oracles to get data in and out of smart contracts securely.

Where will the data come from to connect smart contracts to the data they need to make decisions? How will we know we can rely on these data sources?

Do smart contracts require a decentralized "trust-less" block chain to operate? Or can these same contracts be built on ‘trusted’ networks?

All this on its own doesn't suggest a partnership, but it does show that Docusign is interested in smart contracts, they know about the oracle problem, and they know the arguments for a decentralized oracle (LINK).

The problem with the whole oracle thing is if you want to decentralise the oracle process then logically you have to decentralise the APIs too. Even with a decentralised oracle network, we still only have centralised APIs. This is why ChainLink will ultimately fail.

Have you read the whitepaper?

Shut the fuck up u nigger

wt a brainlet...

If you doubt this you are delusional.
Oh wait lmao, you know you are.

Yes, have you? Look you realise that the problem with smart contracts is that if an oracle service is centralised it negates the whole point of a decentralised smart contract. So explain why a centralised API doesnt negate the whole purpose of a decentralised oracle.

>autonomously just sold 100k
I don't want that

The thought is that *smartcontracts* will query *blockchain data* and *private blockchains* will need to *send data to eachother*

If any of this "blockchain" hype solidifies into adoption, that is.

Multiple APIs is one answer.

There a whole section about this in the whitepaper if anyones interested

About what?

this

You are spamming buzzwords.

I would like a straight answer to this, I assume they just need to have like at least 3 primary sources or something for any given data feed, the more the better. does something like this really not already exist?

Hasn't Tom Gosner left Docusign earlier? If so, how does him being on the stage with Sergey mean anything about Chainlink x Docusign?

What if there aren't multiple APIs?

he's still on the board

What they do today is to have an internal system that checks several (12+) sources and compares them. With chainlink yo7 can check way way way more sources way way way way way easier and cheaper.

ok thanks, and I suppose you can add to that the convenience of just going to smartcontract.com, setting up your smart contract and selecting the feeds you want

You just destroyed Link.

Link is a classic case of over decentralization

There is inherently some trust involved in accepting data from a particular source. The ONLY "Oracle problem" is getting that data to the blockchain.

Link creates an entire fucking decentralized network just to make the equivalent of a mail delivery.

It's retarded. Something like oraclize is fine. Just deliver the data and provide authentication proofs.

Literally no decentralization here is necessary. No token is necessary. LINK is a meme. This whole board is retards

You're the dawg

Nice pasta

>you have to decentralise the APIs too
1) depends on the case
2) look up PSD2; the EU basically did exactly this

Huobi greatly overtook binance in link trade volume

For the transactions that don't need multiple oracle verification, Chainlink's a handy solution that keeps users from having to set up their own oracle, with cost kept low because of the free market of competing nodes.

For the more complex and/or important transactions, Chainlink is a common framework without which many transactions would be almost impossible (look at pic related and imagine if everyone was using a different oracle solution); and it provides an added level of security thanks to the multiple verifications.

Smart contracts are automatic, even the smallest step must be as secure as it can be.
And of course the data source has to be trusted. Why the fuck else would you even use it?
