Topic: Chainlink VS Blocknet - Comparing The Two (Read 268 times)

Is that how LINK holders argue for their own project? If so, I'm done.. Link is riding on hype right now, a lot of projects did so in the past, like ARK. Which went to top 20 Coinmarketcap, and now down to rank 150, when they couldn't deliver what investors hoped for.
Just saying, not trying to hate on LINK, but if that's the only way you can argue for yourself, I dont even want to go any further.

Blocknet has been around for longer, and have developed more than LINK, which makes sense. Link secured a lot of partnerships, but it means nothing, if they can't deliver what they promise.

LINK , always LINK, can u see how they going to beat the bear market ? its unstoppable . partnering with oracle is the good opportunity for chainlink.

While Chainlink is on everyones agenda right now, it's still because they've made a ton of partnerships, most of them meaning nothing at all to be quite honest with you. Partnering up with the most shilled project in crypto is a smart move, as it yields a ton of publicity, even Google saw that as an opportunity to boost their marketing efforts.

Chainlinks tech isn't impressive, their marketing strategy is however. If they want to sustain the hype, they need to sustain the hype, meaning more partnerships, and tech releases to satisfy investors, if they fail to do so, it's gonna come crashing down.


Nice joke. Guess you haven't been on 4chan lately, have you? It's THE most shilled project of all time since 2017 - In fact it's so heavily shilled on that board, that it went dead, because people (including me) got so tired of the constant shitposting about LINK all over the board for 2 years straight now.
It actually took a LOT of time before this cult-like community got any attention on Reddit, but they got through eventually.

What made the price spike as much as it did was the Google Cloud partnership, which is impressive, I'll give them that, but until I see an actual use case, I'm really not that impressed, especially considering they launched their mainnet on an ERC20 token, instead of their own blockchain, which would have made everything way easier, and would off have prevented any future blockchain bloat on the ethereum blockchain. (Remember Crypto Kitties? ETH couldn't even handle that, so it wont handle Oracles either).

You got yourself mixed up, chain link has done very little marketing. Mainnet came out of the blue, github is extremely active. You're talking rubbish about the best alt performer of the bear market.

because you are investing in blocknet, it seems you are more supportive of blocknet, I prefer links rather than blocknet, even though the development of blocknet is more and longer as you said, but people prefer chainlink, meaning chainlink is more popular from any aspect, prove it if I am wrong.

Blocknet does the work the other around.
Products first, then marketing.

Where as Chainlink does: Marketing first, then products.

There is nothing wrong in both approaches, if you look at the tech behind both projects, Blocknet is miles ahead - They just aren't recognized for it as of yet. This makes it a good investment, as when they DO market themselves, the tech will speak for itself.

True, I'm seeing great projects everywhere at very very low entry points. If there was ever a good time to buy crypto, it's now, as I believe the BTC halving next year will have a huge impact on the market.

LINK was shilled for hard, that it was easy to get these partnerships as they had "social proof" that everyone was hyped about it. If you look around you, you don't see any small cap projects with any MAJOR "partnerships", as these companies want the exposure. Google would have never partnered up with LINK, if it wasn't as shilled as it was.

So really you can't compare "partnerships" with the underlying tech. Chainlink is just a token btw, which does have it's limitations, there's much more effort in making and maintaining your own blockchain, and it actually surprised me that they didn't move to their own chain, when they moved to mainnet.

It's no wonder that the price of LINK is taking a hit right now, as the price is being reflected by HYPE, and "partnerships", not use case. I expect it to dip down to the 15k sat area and sit there for a while, might even go lower than that, except if they announce more partnerships keeping the hype train going. Who knows.

Okay if we go through their similarities, let's say they have but in terms of other things we can't really compare what chainlink is doing than the blocknet. Its like same projects with similar products and usage but the things is we don't know how chainlink team is working throughout the platform and what they did to have a recognition and be known in the cryptospace. If you believe in blocknet because of its similarity that was good you only need to follow their works and if sooner or later they have the power to make the price push because of what they've done or doing.

It's quite obvious block net is not a valid competitor to chainlink. Link has probably the biggest partnerships in crypto behind it. Google cloud, Microsoft,  Oracle.  Why did they choose link? Because it's the biggest and most advanced Oracle service about. People hate link because people on 4chan like it but it went unnoticed and it was the strongest performer in the bear market. Link is critical for any blockchains wanting to use real world data.

Monero fan-boys are hard to argue against. Privacy isn't everything, and I believe both of these projects could easily integrate a privacy layer on top of everything, seeing as Blocknet seems to be the most decentralized of these 2 projects it wouldn't surprise me if they did it first.
Privacy is just a small part of most projects, it's becoming an easy integration for most projects, if they want it, thus I don't see any reason to invest in a coin PURELY for privacy reasons, as it doesn't give the project itself enough "substance" to survive.

Just my 2 cents though.

Dude, privacy is not everything. If you wanna see your coin get a lot of demand and then you need an exchange site and another centralized entity to support your project.
Look at the fact even monero that claimed to be the number one of the anonymous coin can't even become an independent coin without depends on the centralized party.
What we need to see the utility usage and we don't care so much about privacy. So many privacy platforms these days but none of them have utility.
Blocknet and chainlink are about building the future infrastructure that will help the future developer to deploy the contract and various things easily.

both projects will not play a significant role in the future until they start to use privacy
how the heck they want to connect the ledger to the real world info without using some privacy like ZKP
no one will use it with sensitive information ever
i think there will be better projects that will make better oracles when the industry is ready and mature for it

Don't make me laugh now… Blocknet has been around for way longer than LINK, their setup is way more decentralized, and is a way cheaper solution. Check the link to the thread I posted to in the OP, and check the comparisons between the two.

LINK and BLOCK does the same, but as a company I wouldn't pay 100x more using LINK, when I could use BLOCK for the same service.
LINK has been shilled, and pumped, making a ton of "partnerships" which doesn't reflect their tech at all. You literally have to be "approved" to run a LINK node, which makes it VERY centralized, also they chose to run their mainnet on an ERC20 token, instead of running their own blockchain, which is a lazy approach as well.

Not saying LINK is a "bad" project, but it sure isn't what everyone thinks it is, at 0.1 LINK/request it's rather expensive to use.

Blocknet is a very project, please let it remain be! You can compare Blocknet vs Binance Dex or other mid-range projects! But you are comparing with legendary Chainlink! This is too much, mate. Blocknet has not the capability to compare with Link! Don't spoil blocknet's reputation from people's minds by comparing with Chainlink, because LINK is a thousand times better than Block.

Now i’m wondering, who has done more research on this topic.
You, this thread creator, or the previous creator?
Cause if you are saying this isn’t fair to compare these projects. Then it means thee thread creator and the previous one didn’t understand their own research?

No offense here, just asking. Cause that what makes sense if you say that.

Well, I only discovered it recently, after reading about it here, then I started doing my own research. I'm sure there are TONS of these gems out there, who doesn't see the light of day, simply because we're in a bull market.
In the coming years, I'm sure we'll see more and more use cases and adoption of all these technologies. Crazy to say we're still early in this game, but I actually believe we are.

Reminds me of the Onecoin scandal, lmao.
It's indeed funny how everyone seems to think Chainlink is the next Bitcoin/Ethereum when they aren't even running on their own chain yet. It just seems lazy in a way.

Great to see another guy believing in Blocknet here, pretty awesome to see people start talking about it again from time to time 

Chainlink is listed on Binance, Blocknet isn't.

However Blocknet is running their own blockchain, not taking the "lazy mans way" of being dependent on ethereum. Really baffled me that they launched their mainnet on the same ERC20 token they made their ICO on. Besides, Chainlink is WAY more centralized of a solution than most seem to realize. To start a node, and process requests you need to be validated/approved to do so.

Chainlink can't do anything Blocknet can't, and yet Blocknet has way more to offer in terms of products. Take a look at their xBridge and xCloud solutions as well as their DEX solution which was the first to hit the market.

I'm not trying to say that Chainlink is a "useless" project, but it's valuation seems to be way off, considering what they've accomplished the last 3 years.

Just my 2 cents though.

The market is irrational longer than your sanity. And hype will never be gone. It does not really go away. Humans are always attracted to shiny objects. Why do you think every five years a large billion dollar ponzi scheme always happen and go down in flames?
