Chainlink has first mover and that's nice and all, but this protocol just makes more sense.
API3 will replace chainlink

Who? You do realize all that matters is the amount of network participants right? Chainlink is a cult and will beat any newcomer

>yeah staking is kinda gay since it puts node funds at risk if they mess up
>It's much better to have a third party cover the oracle insurance, I'm sure the nodes will behave on the insurers' behalf
What the fuck were the API3 retards thinking lol

It makes more sense than chainlink, but I still don't get what it is solving that can't be solved in paying link to some API/data provider.

scratch link out with literally any token you want, including ETH, my bad.
the problem with staking is the exact same reason why they probably chose to not acknowledge it. If the data providers fail to deliver accurate data, you can't prove it deterministically anyhow. In fact, in the chainlink case, it would probably work out where nodes would punish people providing accurate data when everyone else is pulling the faulty data source.
