Chainlink network successfully defends against on-chain spam attack

From Rory in the official Chainlink telegram:

>Timed to occur in conjunction with our conference this past weekend, there was an unsuccessful attempt to spam the Chainlink network with irrelevant requests. This attempt lasted a few hours and failed to affect the performance of the network, which continued to deliver data to DeFi smart contracts as expected. The spam was mitigated when Chainlink nodes identified and adapted to it, while expending the necessary resources to continue operating despite the irrelevant requests. Node operators did pay additional ETH in gas costs to keep the network operational during the spam attempt because node operators properly prioritized their reputation scores and longer term standing in the Chainlink network over short term fee spikes, which is exactly what the network is purposefully designed to do within extreme network congestion and spam scenarios.
>We’d like to both commend and express our gratitude to the responsive, diligent and truly well run node operator teams that ensured their Chainlink nodes, and therefore the network, continued to operate correctly. This failed attempt to spam the network is a testament to how resilient Chainlink has grown to be and that its crypto-economic model for properly incentivizing node operators to continue operating in all network conditions is indeed functioning as designed.

I wonder who was behind this attack?

> Literally who was behind this attack
Sergey has many enemies. The chinks, the Bulgarian gypsys, communist Jews, CZ, stupid Tron pansies, fuck the list goes on user

So the node operators pay gas to thwart the spam attack? How expensive is that going to be? The whole write-up sounds ridiculous. Vaporware cringe if you ask me.

Hell yeah, that's big.

Fuck the spammers for trying to bring down something that is in the process of changing the world.

We'll be back to $20 before EOY years boys. Don't panic.

sure does look like the attack was thwarted for the low cost of 200 billion

Do you guys even try anymore?

This news gave me goosebumps this really is an invincible system isn't it?

The team likes this product so much they keep dumping it for usd. Does that make sense to you at all user?

Must be hard coordinating KYC nodes huh? I'm sure Rory has them all on speed dial kek

I hold Chainlink and the only reason node operators payed those gas fees was because Sergey already pays them for node requests from the foundation (rumours has it around 500k each week)

Dude you're a tranny from discord lmao!
> The definition of insanity is think surgery will make your become a real woman

This project is shit, sell that stuff go with polka or ETH...

>be node operator
>trying to make a buck and keep being profitable
>some chinks at Zeus capital spam the network and you have to pay more gas fees than you make Being a Node Operator
>lmao at all the niggers that think they will make good returns when skating goes live

>muh discord
>muh trannies
cope harder faggot. how about you respond normally for once?

band rats will burn

imagine thinking skating will solve all of life's problems.
> Dude just move to LA and become a skater lmao!

what is normal to (you) though discord user?

Ok tony hawk

You do realise Polka uses Link?

Good job network nodebros

Very nice.

Lol most bulgarian gypsies cant even write their own names

No bank or big institution is gonna use a flawed system like this, that gets congested by a couple spammers, and no node operator will validate your data if it costs them money to not loose their „reputation“. Running a node on redundant hardware costs money, if it doesn’t bring returns and you even have to pay gas fees to keep it running people just won’t do it

Guess who was behind the attack? Segery himself.

>congested
Did you even read?

>price dumping
>gas cost rising

its not looking good for my link stack right now.
