HN discussionLiterally none of this is true: > Needing to rely on trust is a big problem that Bitcoin solves. No, it doesn't. As soon as anything is external to the Bitcoin network, you now require trust. This is so well-known it has a name: the oracle problem [1]. Crypto Andys, of course, just double-down and say we need more crypto. Just like libertarians who when confronted with the problems of lack of regulation they will ar…

HN discussion> This paragraph perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the way promoters sell Ethereum... That information comes from "oracles", or what the article calls "validators". Validators and Oracles are two different things entirely. That factual error aside, this is like saying that the US Federal Reserve is a weak system because Lehman Brothers and the MBS market failed. Regardless, The Oracle Problem is already i…

HN discussion> there's a 20% chance that it came from A_1, 20% chance it came from A_2, ... You can't do this[1], as the blockchain does its best to be perfectly deterministic. Best you can do is get an oracle to get you a random seed (which you'll see publicly in the oracle token), so you'll know exactly "what went where."
