high IQ thread for devs.
Why the fuck will anyone pay for the API call when it's fucking free from original source
Why are linktards so retarded
Blake Parker
Kevin Robinson
Because they won't have a choice.
(Srs answer) because you're not paying for an api call, you're paying to interact with a sentient piece of code with no malicious capabilities...instead of some Russian/pajeet nigger and his 2 week old skin gambling site that can scam or be raided at a moment's notice.
Julian Taylor
Because /linkers/ are just that, retarded. Link has very interesting applications but because the tech is free a team comes out with a more efficient token or way of applying it well link will drop, and drop fast. Linkers know their coin is propped up by memes, and could be dumped any second. Jerking themselves off is the about their possible gains is the only happiness they have in life/experience in crypto. Sergay is making the smart move and will probably dump and abandon the project once he gets picked up by a larger more lucrative project.
I'd say ATH will be 50-100$ EOY but not 1k.
Brayden Turner
You do not have even a slight idea of what chainlink actually is
Zachary Sullivan
They're cultists please try not to add yet another link spam thread to the catalog.
Michael Lewis
> You do not have even a slight idea of what chainlink actually is
c'mon teach me
Robert Brown
So you want to lecture Linkies about how stupid they are, then you turn around and want spoonfeeding. You had 2 (and a half) years.
Aiden Murphy
Lmao mr “developer” if you would have ever worked with stock/currency APIs you’d know that making over 10 calls per hour is going to cost you money anyway. I don’t give a fuck about shitlink but you are a fucking retard.
Joseph Cruz
he's right though. why would anyone go through chainlink to for what is essentially an API call when the original developer could just go directly to the source? want it "decentralized"? Aggregate several API sources. It's literally all on the coder/contract writer as evidenced by Chainlinks fuckup from a few weeks back where someone at their HQ fat fingered the lookup for gold when they meant to look up the price of silver.
Thomas Campbell
You need to put in some work first, then come back.
Josiah Parker
because there are thousands of applications you never thought of because that is how progress works
Andrew Kelly
CSMoney and others take % based commission that can be hundreds of dollars. Link will revolutionize ownership of virtual assets.
Evan Lewis
to hear you guys put it there's really only a handful (logistics, derivatives, and insurance) are the only examples biz anons ever bring up. All of these examples absolutely do not require decentralized oracles. They would in fact be hampered by them in certain instances. Why would I want decentralized oracles to tell me if a house burned down for an insurance payout. They will literally all be hitting the same source of information anyways. what would even be the point. As an insurance company, how am i going to go about getting my money back when that "accidental" house fire end up being simple arson? "Chainlink oracle worked not our fault." ???
Adrian Morgan
Are you retarded ? Chainlink request will take the same http request from API as normal but you need to pay for that req.
Evan Jenkins
No.
Cameron Robinson
Here's a spoiler alert. If you still think Chainlink's primary use is aggregating API calls to feed to smart contracts, then you're over a year behind.
Henry Bell
>because there are thousands of applications you never thought of
Aiden Roberts
You're paying for the security that guarantees trustlessness and automation. Protip, it's not fucking dota players with mommy allowance money that will use this first.
Owen Thompson
are you retarded too ? after 2 years there are only fucking price feeds that don't even need to be decentralized
William Rivera
If you still think Chainlink's primary use is aggregating API calls to feed to smart contracts, then you're over a year behind.
Juan Diaz
Not trustless, you have to trust Sergey's KYC. Chainlink oracles are not decentralized, hence why they have 0 users 3 years in.
If you think Chainlink's oracles are decentralized, you need to learn to code
Joseph Cox
You missed the point completely. Go back to your pajeet JS development, faggot.
Joseph King
Fuck chainlink
Liam Bailey
Ok so I’ll be a retarded millionaire
Thanks
Gabriel Sanchez
Eli Adams
>decentralized
buzzword
Colton Sullivan
Adrian Bennett
>implying being a developer demands a high IQ
Why does everyone here think software developers are geniuses? When did copying and pasting codes become an impressive feat of academia.
To answer your question, you’re paying for security and automation.
Adrian Evans
>security and automation
brainlet detected.
what about steam's existing api that you can use FOR FREE as a NEET developer is not automated or not secure?
Brody Bennett
We need PoA (Proof of Autism) validation for the next blockchain
Cameron Bailey
>implying that’s more efficient than a call center full of pajeets
Brody Torres
it's a jason parser that requires a token to use
i.e a scam
Asher Johnson
Holy shit OP you are so butthurt xrp is worthless trash and can't do anything Chainlink does lmoa link already has more adoption after 2 years than xrp after 8 lmao get fucked shitskin
Ian Sanchez
You are fucking typical chainlink consoomer nothing more
Bentley Evans
Hey, why don’t you learn what ChainLink is before you try to talk about it?
Josiah Hill
>Chainlink consoomer
Wat?
Adam Price
Why don’t you calm down?
Thomas Baker
More efficient, more secure, more accurate, cheaper, more reliable, etc, etc
Alexander Sanchez
Xrp shitskin cope
Remember faggot, link has gotten more adoption in 3 years than cripple has in 8 lmao
Parker Cook
I think that you need to learn how chainlink works...
It's just fucking JSON file that you will receive "confirmed" from some node operator...
but oh wait why you need confirmed JSON request from official steam API ???
Jackson Murphy
>More efficient, more secure, more accurate, cheaper, more reliable
Justin King
Thanks for articulating your perspective with a cartoon frog picture.
Justin Nguyen
You’re arguing from the perspective of someone who thinks ChainLink is intended to be an API provider that just reaches consensus over various APIs and sends that data to a website. It’s truly exhausting responding to people who have no idea what they’re talking about. If you’re genuinely trying to understand what ChainLink and smart contracts are, I can try to help you, you just need to ask like a normal person would. I’m really tired of this other nonsense.
Isaac Ramirez
First of all how can they be more secure when the API call is taken from the same source...
Jordan James
never selling bitch
Sebastian Hughes
Think in terms of B2B transactions. Automated smart contracts would save companies money. This is undisputed fact. Automated smart contracts need data to trigger them. Without a trusted source of data (smart contract being fed data by chainlink oracle network) businesses won’t be able to mutually agree on the “correct” data to use. They would both have an incentive to manipulate the data source in their favor if they were allowed to choose which specific API to use. With potentially millions of dollars on the line, they need a way to guarantee that the data is fair and untampered.
Right now companies use trusted 3rd parties to facilitate high value transactions. Trusted 3rd parties cost money. Switching to automated smart contracts would save them money. Companies like saving money, therefore they will want to use automated smart contracts. Automated smart contracts need chainlink
Easton Murphy
You’re retarded. You would be paying untrustworthy people to vote. That is all. Link is a scam that only works on non technical retards.
Liam Watson
It’s nothing. It’s JSON being retrieved, parsed and submitted to a smart contract. Anyone can build it in a few hours.
Nicholas Fisher
Kek. True. It’s completely worthless.
Joshua Perry
Ah man I thought this would be a great thread
Seems you’re a mid level or junior dev who has no idea what Chainlink is
Caleb Robinson
Nobody technical actually believes Sir Gay’s bullshit. Literally zero devs.
Cooper Brooks
>saving money ???
I mean 0,4$ per 1! req. is really saving money... yep they will be saving milions....
Landon Johnson
Since when are corporate apis free
Jack Price
So not even a solid web scraper then?
Julian Butler
Do you know how much money a trusted 3rd party charges? Do you know how much businesses spend on backend office workers? Do you know how much businesses spend filing disputes and going to court?
Compare that to $.4
Anthony Allen
I will tell you what chainlink is now...
- Ethereum mainnet
- worthless price feeds
- pajeets project are partnering with chainlink only because they want to pump their bags the don't even know what chainlink is...
- pre-minted token in holding off one fat guy and bagholders from ICO
- end
Luke Moore
>Official Steam API
>3rd party charges
Tyler Lopez
>First of all how can they be more secure when the API call is taken from the same source...
Oh lord...
Ethan Bailey
Go read warosu faggot. You had 2 years.
Have sex incel
Liam Watson
I’m talking about business practices in general. Which I’m sure you already know. And you’ll probably just keep replying with stupid ass comebacks intended to derail serious discussion and waste my time. Lick my balls faggot
Carson Hall
Lmao I just use Ranjeep from Reliable Data sometimes his cousin Pradesh from best data but I'll never use a decentralised oracle network
Ryan Hall
heard LINK is acquiring some tech from CPC. true if big:
scribd.com
Charles Campbell
>.1 Link
Bwhahahahahahahah
Benjamin Torres
You’re convincing the wrong guy
I work in network automation and you sound dumb as shit
Ryan Gray
If you don't use Fine Indian Data for your smart contracts you're a racist. What do you think Rhodes will say? He'll say that Microsoft supports the use of Indian data centers. Biggots btfo
