Its a blessing to have some people working with me on this and looking forward to showing it to yonni also :)"

"there are two solutions one for @AppKaskad which is already better than existing ones I'd say around 60-70%. The idea is already being implemented but there is a very important point that isn't ready in the paper which is outlier detection. Ie. I can determine the fair value of an asset (hence at least 50%) but want my algo to detect when an exchange is straight up manipulating. What I have in mind is that the longer an exchange exhibits unfilled arbitrage the more we are sure something is wrong (eg. trading is not possible on the exchange hence bots can't perform arb). The goal is not to"

"Just watched great episode as usual have some comments : - "black box for the final user you don't know exactly how the data is collected". Totally agree with this as a matter of fact I have asked @BandProtocol publicly and privately how they aggregate data (even told them they could answer "this is confidential). I was ignored every time. - a reminder that @quex_tech is a great solution but a team can still build a bad oracle if they use it incorrectly. Quex doesn't tell you how to aggregate data they help you do it. I also like that Dmitry admits if you are nitpicking we could say even TEEs"

"I do think it's a nice comparison and indeed multiple prices arise from the dynamics on an inefficient market. But as time moves on we should be able to quantify what the average arbitrage size is which venues seem to lag behind how fast arbitrages are filled etc. All of this can only arise if they are compared to theoretical fair value of the asset. The more efficient the market becomes the more it converges to the oracle. I think that's a nice property to have"

"@SebasP49474734 "prices deviate significantly" seems like a stretch. The threshold for btc is 0.5%. Although I do feel this is still quite a bit. The question would be how fast can they update the price feed if the instant they do one update the next price fetch is already below 0.5%"

"Route Hijacking Lightning Network (LN) This post follows the paper written by @Avivz78 et al. (ACM 2020). A video is also available here: that helps break down attack vectors. The paper focuses on a type of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack by exploiting how transactions are routed through the LN. This in turn shows that LN does not inherit the security of the Bitcoin network it is also clear it doesnt inherit its decentralization as it is an off-chain transaction network. What is the LN The LN can be seen as a two-way channel acting as private tabs or IOUs between two people. Once Alice and Bob"

"the oracle problem is asking n entities to provide you the true price of an asset (assume it exists) where each entity has a financial incentive to lie to you. the more they lie the more your oracle is wrong the more they can arb. you want to penalize liars but the lie influences the oracle's belief on the true price and so you penalize based on false information thus you don't penalize well. @maxibitcat #kaspa"

"the second layer of certainty relies on less nodes to give you the "real" price if a watchdog raises an alert. Essentially because they are more "trusted". Do you find this to be a good solution that a huge amount of nodes can be slashed because "trusted" nodes say the price submission was wrong btw this isn't fud just an actual questions that is imo more interesting than just bull posting or saying its going to 0"

"If I resume correctly you don't know much about kaspa and don't understand the technology behind it but it's shit because its price doesn't perform as well as bitcoins. To compare your logic Bitcoin was a shitcoin at every interval in time where it underperformed gold. As a matter of fact with the above mentality you only accept something as "not a shitcoin" once it has been widely adopted (and probably the best performing asset in the world).

"I agree with you that theory only goes so far. For example in the mathematical finance class I took at ETH the first rule you learn is that there is no arbitrage in an efficient market. Ofc that property doesn't hold because information doesn't propagate instantly etc. However I do think crypto is a highly inefficient market arbitrage opportunities are orders of magnitude higher than in tradfi. Hence it should close in the future. Either way it is interesting to have an oracle that can give more information than just a median like liquidity spreads etc"

"For educational purposes and the $KAS community that I hold dear I think it would be good if we dove deep into the oracles each lending platform is going to use. @AppKaskad will be using some sort of LOB aggregator designed from the ground up. I am currently reflecting upon the theory of outlier detection and how to decentralize as many parts as possible. This is not at all a finished solution. @ZealousSwap is going to use @BandProtocol afaik. Not sure for @KaspaCom nor if @KaspaFinance guys are also planning to do lending.

"Thanks for your answer Ill go straight to the points Band aggregates prices from a basket of exchanges - which ones exactly this seems like a crucial point for a transparent oracle. median-based approach to minimize outlier influence - so just the median or is it weighted In which case how is it weighted. I simply ask because I could not find this information on their documentation. They might have done it well I am just in the dark. economic incentives and slashing conditions - how do they do this its a very tough thing to do so Im curious as to how they incentivize honesty.

"not a fan of this solution just a median of medians of medians etc. while these price feeds may be robust they're not accurate. Although they would still prevent a liquidation cascade like there was Friday. So it's a good start but a very classic oracle model.

"IOU definition : a signed document acknowledging a debt. That is what LN is factually.

"Im not sure I understand lets stay concise. Me and you can play futures trading without any asset. Imagine a world where there is a dark futures game (ie the contracts can peg to the spot price w funding rates but spot price cant see how futures are moving). A position can only be closed if another player joins the opposite side or an opposite side closes his trade simultaneously. Or if they have no more collateral then you just close the position and sell the collateral on the market for a stable asset. So apart from creating fear by influencing futures price depegging I dont see how you can"
