Talk titles don't give a lot away. Though it says 'more speakers to be announced'. Pivotal seems to suggest threshold signatures are nearly ready.
As for staking linkpool suggested it wasn't near yet, plus there's no way it was originally the smartcon plan and they delayed deploying it just because of covid.
It's linkpool that is not ready for staking or is chainlink talking to them about it?

Same slides followed by a months long 60% dump just like the last 15 LINK conferences

Not entirely clear, i don't have the tweets anymore. Though i would expect linkpool to be at the forefront of staking.
I expect we might get an announcement of some big industry player adopting it but it will be paid for by the dev wallet until proven enough that new companies come on and staking comes then.

Finally i will can learn what smartcontracts do and how link works.

>So what do we actually expect? VRF being released (Chainlink usage growing exponentially), Microsoft announcement. >Pivotal seems to suggest threshold signatures are nearly ready Alex Coventry said it was a bot spamming in order to look like a legit account.
Chainlink penalty & deposit contracts are still in development by the core dev Chainlink team, without that there is no staking. Linkpool is just on standby waiting for it to be finished

Any chance there could be some Arbitrum related news? The timing would be nice since we're seeing so much Ethereum congestion now.

With these massive pumps it seems like it's gotta be something. It's not possible retail is doing this. LINK is still not popular on reddit yet

I want to know why they have only announced 25% of speakers. That seems weird no?
Kevin Collins
Where can you see it's 25%?

If I had to guess it would be that Microsoft is bringing their decentralised identity project in the space: >microsoft.com/security/blog/2019/05/15/decentralized-identity-digital-privacy/ When you think of the "smart contract future" where you are auto paid into your account and then your money is auto assigned into wallet X for AAVE lending and wallet Y for Bancor staking and into decentralised insurance etc etc, what you need at the middle of that is a hub that is directly tied to you. A launching platform or home base UI that links you to all the different ways your money is being used and that identifies you both as the owner of certain assets as well as a participant in certain smart contracts. In a society that wants to retain a taxation system, or legal accountability for economic behaviour, it's crucial to have decentralised identity so that each unique person is linked to all their assets and so that each change in assets (I was staking in x but now in y) can be automatically taxed.
I would see it in the longer term that everyone will have a decentralised identity and that DECO could call your decentralised identity number to prove that it's you who is participating in a smart contract, without revealing your personal details. So basically what they are saying here with calling an SSN, but it would be calling a decentralised ID identifier instead.
It's one of those things where I'm actually glad Microsoft is behind it because you need that level of credibility to make ID work. It's been on my radar as one of the "big problems" for a while but it was clearly not something that would be solved by a crypto startup, because it's so reliant on mass adoption.

Further proof. Oracle blockchain startup is behind Microsofts DID solution.
>identity is the cornerstone of "contract law" "quantum grammar construction"
the concept of writing laws in the tense of "are" whenever you read it, it is referring to "now" and therefore prevents racketeering and human trafficking it prevents the borrowing of money intended for one purpose from being used for another (ie. taking the education budget and using it for road construction, etc.)
I kept trying to explain to people that our linguistics still needs time to catch up to all the technological advancements we are going through
