>Initially, Chainlink was not BSN’s number one choice, it was second on the list of potential oracalized data providers. However, he says that they were swayed by the strength of Chainlink’s community and team:
>“We looked at the top four, on the list, Chainlink was not number one. They were the second one. But we saw that Chainlink has the best community, best support. [...] Also, we really liked the team.”
If you would actually understand something about programming and smart contracts it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Chainlink's oracles, quite frankly, suck ass.
Band protocol is literally years ahead of Chainlink even though they started just now. Chainlink doesn't have the talent, it's basically just shiny ERC-token with transfer & call functions.

First they chose band because its a chink project but then they realised that its a copy paste scam building on the success of chainlink

kek, someone post that image where a band dev literally said to "get on copying Chainlinks VRF thing" in their github.

>Band protocol is literally years ahead of Chainlink even though they started just now. That copypasta project where they openly admitted they just cloned LINK?

How unlike the Chinese to rip something off.
Henry Rodriguez
Linkies going to continue to ignore that its been 3 years and 30M and the product delivered is nothing described in the whitepaper.

In east Asian countries there is a lot of nationalism and pride for all things in made in that country. In a country like China regulators will first check to see if there is a home grown solution before picking something made by foreigners. In this case, like others have mentioned, band protocol exists, but it's obvious it is a clone and they have no idea what they're doing. To save face BSN probably said that Band was their first choice, but went with Link because (insert non-insulting reason against local solution here).
Having worked with Chinese businesses before I have seen it time, and time again.

This. Plus read up on Huawei and the African embassy. Chink tech was sending info back to China. There’s no way a Chinese, state endorsed solution would be trusted by the rest of the world.
Matthew Morris
Good point about Chinese based tech never being fully trusted by anyone other than the Chinese. I still can't believe the BSN announcement didn't pump it up to at least $7. Once people realize what smart contracts are, what they do, and what they're worth is when crypto will see the golden bull run. Unfortunately, I think we have to wait another few years before people realize it, and realize that LINK is going to lead it.
William Ross
Band fucking thai, they’re still foreigners.
Hudson Gray
And Sergey isn't?
Jeremiah Evans
I’m just saying band wasn’t even on there radar, i don’t think there was a chinese oracle.

1000% this

Confucius protocol when?

>>What did chinks mean by this? Pic very much related
I think the entire bsn thing might be a scam because the price didnt move at all why wouldnt the chinese want to buy up tokens if its as big as we think? It just doesnt add up. Is it illegal to buy tokens in china?
So basically LINK is an attack vector on other projects.
Like why do we even need a token for a glorified JSON parser? And if it's not a glorified JSON parser, why not bother with oracles without tokens like MakerDao's oracle (which is separate from MakerDao's token) and Gravity's Interoperability Oracles?
