An alarm clock is bigger than SWIFT. I'm hyperventilating.

Thanks just bought 100k ALARM

OMG ALARM JIST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE

This is fucking incredible news. Fucking extraordinary. I have never thought of this usecase.
Blake Murphy
Wow an alarmclock lmao
Jaxson Perry
I don't see the voting button in my alarm clock app on my iPhone, where is it?
Kayden Wilson
If that surprises you, you should research even more usecases

>alarm clock
Im getting gravelcoin vibes...
Stinkies are starting to get desperate I almost, almost feel bad for them
Cooper Evans
This is actually pretty substantial despite the >wow an alarmclock lmao
posters. This is large because prior to this functionality ETH didn't have an ability to tell time, if you wanted to do a time based action you had to do it via number of blocks which isn't precise. Chainlink Team literally adds every functionality that a smartcontract might need.

and now all that professor roasty's academic work on blocktime and probabilistic time accounting is completely irrelevant, kek

"Ring ring", the alarm clock said. "Ring ring, Sergey! It is time!" The alarm clock was programmed to sound just like Thomas' soft-spoken voice. Sergey had no choice but to wake up at the sound of the alarm clock he had set up through his own oracle node on the blockchain network many nights prior. While he was still feeling tired from the previous night of intense partying with on-chain verifiably legal Asian prostitutes and would have preferred to remain dormant for a few more hours, he knew the ineluctably of time's running its course was a factor beyond his God-like control. "Cursed be the fool who created the clock!" he exclaimed, half-angrily, half-jokingly, waking up Ting-Ting, the Vietnamese concubine. Alas, she didn't understand a single word of English. "Bring me my morning coffee, whore!", Sergey ordered. "And make it a large one!" Sergey knew the alarm clock's tamperproof and decentralized mechanism woke him up for a very specific reason on that day: so he would not forget to accomplish his duty. Like an Olympian God reminding humans of their roles in the world, the alarm clock reminded Sergey of his fate. Sergey booted his computer, drinking from his enormous cup while Ting-Ting massaged his feet. At last, the caffeine had entered his system and feeling finally ready to process; the ogre simply whispered: "Ahh... let the weekly dump begin..."

nodes reject blocks with timestamps over 15 seconds into the future or smaller than the previous block. It works very well in practice
Luis Garcia
kek
didn't some chains try to create a time-based proof of consensus before? Cause then you can just take the chronologically first block. As far as I know they all failed.
Also CL is too slow to do actual time, hence it's just an alarm function
Blake Martinez
LOL!

this ought to take us straight to $1,000

1000 o'clock eoy

>He thinks we need to decentralize time and put it in a block chain and pay 1 link token to set an alarm to wake us up at 7 AM
My iphone can set alarms for free and I can use any kind of audio file I want to play at any time I want. Chainlink is literally shitty 1980s software.

new Alarm wakeUp = time.setAlarm("When Chainlink is $1000");
System.out.println(wakeUp);
>Error, bool wakeUp = 0 because Chainlink = 1000 is always false.
LINKIES IRREVERSIBLY BTFO AND ETERNALLY HOMOSEXUAL

>I have absolutely no idea how blockchain works, I am a complete retard. Ignore more
Thanks for letting us know, faggot
Xavier Gutierrez
Imagine being smooth brained enough not to understand this.
Jordan Campbell
>He thinks other people don't know how an alarm clock works
It's literally a simple "do while" loop.

>block from 14.88 seconds into the future reveals itself and its intentions, cryptographically guaranteeing the destruction of your $6b in value/gains in the present
don't be a jew; pay to use sergey's atomic clock
checking your quads
Joseph Edwards
it's literally impossible to have a better average resolution because the block time is ~14s.
A timestamp from a transaction is way worse because there's no guarantee it confirms in the very next block, so it has a much worse average resolution, something like one minute. It makes zero sense.

Thanks buddy
I was wondering what this means
This makes sense
