Chainlink Labs has set up a trap for your to compromise your wallet by using a VPN to break their TOS so that they can act against you in some way in the future.
Chainlink Labs has set up a trap for your to compromise your wallet by using a VPN to break their TOS so that they...
that would only apply if you were american. there aren't actually americans on this board are there?
This is not sincere. Your motive is either malicious or schizo. When did chainlink labs ever ask where anyone resided? They have no idea where anyone lives. People use VPNs all the time. It’s just to legally protect themselves.
I don't live in the US but I still used a vpn to claim. Am I cooked?
They always have some bizarre angle to attack holders in some form or fashion. It’s mental illness. No idea if it’s just 1 schizophrenic that visits here compulsively or a group of them.
They block based on IP and expressly prohibit using VPNs to circumvent this. The fact that they lack perfect oversight is irrelevant.
If you do circumvent it, you compromise your wallet and put yourself into a position where action can potentially be taken against you. It doesn't matter if action will or will not actually be taken.
yeah just use the VPN that is blatantly violation of TOS
why can't i unstak-ACK!!!
possibly, yes. its also possible they anticipated the Genius Act passing and launched the Build rewards because they understand it not passing, wasnt due to legality, but rather because of politics(democrats blocked it to spite trump) and that some version of it will pass eventually
personally my take is to wait a period of the 90 day claim window and hope for some more assurance from chainlink violating their TOS by using a VPN to claim rewards wont lock my wallet out of the official staking pool at some point in the future, if no clarification is given within 60days of the claim window, ill then assess at the time whether the risk of using the VPN to claim the rewards is worth it. very annoyed at democrats and also annoyed at chainlink for putting us in this situation where we have to violate their terms of service to claim, chainlink can update their terms at anytime to assure americans this *isnt* a trap
Never stakin bitch
None of you third worlders understand legal liability. Chainlink just isn’t taking responsibility if we get fucked by the US government for claiming the rewards. I hate third world fuddies so much can’t wait to hunt them down across the slums
It's not the 3rd worlders that are being excluded, quite the opposite, so that's a bizarre statement.
And it's not about them "not taking responsibility," it's about them forcing you to take on huge levels of uncertainty or forgo potentially large sums in promised crypto.
Also, your argument is just deflection from the point that in order for most western holders to get their promised rewards, they have to put their wallets into a compromised state.
Same, more or less. Too bad people are too lazy to pressure CL on their highly questionable actions in this regard.
Why invest in something that holds your money back endlessly only to have you struggle to get your "rewards" back? The price of the asset in question doesn't even increase. It seems crazy to me to believe in this kind of thing, regardless of whether it's Link or something else, don't you really see that it's complete bullshit ?
they wouldn't slight their core community like that
don't worry about the gun to your wallet, they'd never pull the trigger
They shouldn't be putting holders in a position where handing CL that gun is required to get paid.
it's a bunch of jews
Yep. They will confiscate your wallet and steal all your chainlink tokens
So fkn what. We will get your tokens and you will go to jail and big bubba will rape your asshole

A. Kinetic energy is held within the wall, since the portal is just an opening no momentum is able to effect the inertia of the block itself. Excluding any properties the portal might have that allows momentum to be transferred to the block directly.
They can't tell what your home ip is if you use a vpn retard.
The fact that they lack perfect oversight is irrelevant.
The oversight isn't "imperfect," it is non-existent. There is no mechanism that exists where chainlink could possibly discern between those using a vpn for general privacy (extremely common practice), or those using a vpn to circumvent their tos. The tos are unenforceable without kyc, which cl currently does not do.
As others have mentioned, I think this was purely a cya move on the off chance crypto rules/regs aren't clarified in the near term (read: this admin). IF they're not, and IF for whatever reason the exec branch decides they want blood, THEN CLL may be put in the position of having to create a blacklist of any addresses that they can (somehow) prove violated their ToS in order to maintain their plausible deniability in the face of lawsuits or investigations. Barring that, I don't see them fucking over their original community of supporters. But I don't trust anyone completely, so I've take precautions on the off chance the worst happens.
i honeslty neve trusted even staking it.
anything can go wrong.
what happens when slashing starts to happen??
whos gonna get slashed first??
this is why im comfy not staking.
this. wouldn't be surprised, actually expect them to have one of the node operators be the sacrificial lamb that gets slashed and have all of the community linkies get redistributed to the "good" actors. Then you'll be gaslighted by the advocates that this is actually bullish and that the system is working as intended.
nigga fuck stakers
nigga fuck stakers
all link stakers are nazis
nigga fuck stakers
Good thing I'm not staking directly through chainlink to claim my rewards then
Thats cool and all but post hand
nigga fuck chainlink
Did you really just make this post to mess with that autist from a few day ago?
The anon who was worried about Chainlink Labs tracking him down because he used a VPN to claim?
it's a valid concern
The legitimate concern is being locked out of the staking pool for violating the terms of service.
If the wallet was staked by an american IP address but rewards were claimed in "another country" (VPN) , that discrepancy could theoretically be used to lock the wallet from the official staking pool for violation of terms of service.
If no further assurance or updates comes within the 90day claim window, american chain link stakers are forced to decide if it's worth it to accept a "sword of damocles" forever hanging over their wallets to get build rewards. The other option being to forgo the rewards, lose out on that money we've earned by securing the network. It's a very unjust situation we've been thrust into imo
yup... fuck sergey
this is not a good situation we've been forced into
because pic related is Sergey's fault right?
Email or call senators and congressman and tell them you'll never vote democrat again for betraying the american people because spiting trump was more important to them than the country
Also and additionally, chain link can update their terms at any time to alleviate this unjust situation
chain link can update their terms at any time to alleviate this unjust situation
By saying what, exactly?
Also, the 90 day period is unjustified. Given the current issues, there should be no limit on the period. The unclaimed funds should be made available until regulatory clarity arises. There's no reason for them not to do this.
yup
can't blame the gubbermint for the 90 day period
fuck sergey
You're trying too hard
Link to pic?
The actual release blogpost.

The remaining 100,000,000 SXT, as well as any unclaimed SXT from the 90-day Season Genesis claim period, is planned to be made available in the future of the Chainlink Rewards program.
This isn't actually saying that a given wallet will get another chance to claim the funds it currently has available to claim. It's saying that those funds will be made available to
the Chainlink Rewards program
yup. you'll probably get like 5% of what you could claim now lol
luckily, i have four wallets, so I claimed the rewards with two of them and i'm leaving the other two untouched. sucks to miss out on half the reward, but CYA is the smart move, honestly. Just like CLL is doing with all the legalese about not claiming as a US person.
It's so funny that you keep saying "there's no reason for this, there's no reason for that" when you don't have the faintest idea what's going on in the US, see
Reason for 90 days?
Just to spite you and steal your money (even though it's getting distributed at a later date)
(even though it's getting distributed at a later date)
What's with the disingenuous argument?
This isn't actually saying that a given wallet will get another chance to claim the funds it currently has available to claim. It's saying that those funds will be made available to "the Chainlink Rewards program"
It's saying that those funds will be made available to "the Chainlink Rewards program"
That's what "distributed at a later date" means.
to "he Chainlink Rewards program
not
to the given wallet that hasn't claimed it
It means your funds will be redistributed.
The coin you didn't claim gets distributed, yes.
fucked by the US government for claiming the rewards
tax revenue is all that matters. find it hard to believe they'd want to pursue something that ends a revenue source.
Great
Show me one case where an American was prosecuted for claiming air drops.
So if they're not stealing your coins, then maybe they have another reason for the time limit.
Something you just don't know about, like you didn't know about the 19 billion.
Take it up with the 19 billion.
Take it up with Arbitrum, Optimism, Sui, TON, EOS, Polkadot, Tezos, ... who all explicitly excluded US citizens from their airdrops and ICOs.
The fuck you wanna argue with me for.
Do you know the reason?
the primary risk is that in violating chain links terms of service, one takes the risk of being locked out of the staking pool
the secondary (and less likely) risk is governmental
Could be a million things.
For one thing, this whole deal has two distinct participants: Chainlink and Spacetime.
On the whole, three months seems more than reasonable.
using the VPN covers Chainlink's ass
no history that i see of gov going after individuals
only way you get fucked that i see is if sergay decides to fuck you.
The coins are our of Spacetime's hands, are they not? They will be redistributed anyways.
violating chain links terms of service
they don't know our names or addresses. all they have is an IP. hell i could have used a VPN to stake in the first place, the IP means nothing. there's nothing to this imo.
so i guess the worry is that they require KYC in the future. but surely you could pull your link out before then, unless... "not your keys not your wallet" reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The coins are forever part of SXT's security system.
by the way, SXT's own staking period ends in Q3, which starts 90 days after the Chainlink rewards.
Actually, the Chainlink rewards came out on the 8th, but then SXT has a 7-day unstaking period.
So the first actual unstaked SXT could occur (at the very earliest) 90 days after the Chainlink rewards were doled out.
Exactly.
And if you think Sergey actively wants to fuck you by enforcing regulations he openly despises, then maybe stay away from Chainlink lmao
nvm I fudged the math lol
