Hello all!

The Q1 Tellor Treasury has been live for a while, but it's not too late to get in!
If you hold TRB, you can earn 2.5% by locking up your tokens until April 24th.
Note: To get the full rewards, your staking address must vote on all governance events after you stake!

Have a great day!

Hey all! I have good news 😍 We are on track to deliver Tellor X December 1st !

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We need TRB holders to vote for the tellor X upgrade! In order for Tellor X to happen, we need a 10% quarum! We know we can do it, because we've done it 3 times before.

In order to vote you need to get your tokens off centralized exchanges, and into a wallet that you control before November 23rd! If your tokens are on Binance, Huobi, Coinbase or any other CEX when the snapshot happens, your voting power will be gone!

Quick Tip: If you want to make sure that you have 0 issues voting for the Tellor X upgrade, we recommend the Metamask Browser extension. (If you're using a hardware wallet, you can connect that through Metamask also) Most other wallets will need to use WalletConnect. WalletConnect should work great, but some holders have had trouble with it in the past on odd wallets. If you need help, feel free to reach out and ask questions. If you're a smaller holder and you need help with gas costs, reach out on discord and we can help you out.

That’s all for now. If you have time, please help us spread the word on social media, and thanks for your support!

Thanks! but just to be clear, there is absolutely NOT any airdrop going on. If you see any groups offering TRB airdrops those are scams!

Thanks terciduk! Actually, We will not be changing the name to TellorX. (tellorX is the name of a big update to the tellor protocol)
And, I don't know what a signature campaign is but it sounds awesome. I will give it a google!

Reserved for a future announcement

In Q4 2021 Tellor will become Tellor X. Proof of Work is being removed from the Tellor protocol. Anyone with a computer anywhere on earth is welcome to join us as a Tellor oracle reporter!

Tellor is a permissionless community consensus mechanism for determining what is a “correct” value on the Tellor oracle network. The system incentivizes Tellor data providers to compete for Tellor Tribute Tokens [TRB] that can be earned by successfully recording oracle data on the Ethereum blockchain. With the current implementation of the protocol (Tellor 3), data providers are required to solve a proof of work challenge. We currently refer to these individuals as “staked miners”, because they must lock up a 500 TRB bond as collateral against “bad” or malicious data. This bond can be lost in a dispute if bad data is submitted on-chain.

Tellor X continues to work with simple crypto-economic incentives to secure data through staking and dispute mechanisms, and builds a more secure Tellor through novel uses of the system’s monetary policy and the introduction of a more equitable governance system.

Changes coming with Tellor X
For Miners:

• The proof of work component is being removed. Tellor “Miners” will now be referred to as “Reporters”.
• The stake required to be a reporter has been reduced to 100 TRB (down from 500 TRB to be a miner)
• A reporter may submit for as many or as few request IDs as they like. It is not required that all reporters maintain a dataserver for all data points.
• Time based rewards are reduced from 1 TRB every 1 Minute to 0.5 TRB every 5 minutes.
• The minimum time between submissions is being increased from 15 Minutes to 12 hours*.

*After a reporter submits a value, they must wait a certain time period (a configurable variable, starting at 12 hours), before submitting again. This is both to allow time for disputes as well as to increase the number of reporters in the system.

For Users:

• ID’s can be updated as frequently as they are tipped. There is no more 5 minute speed limit. The Tellor network will be as fast as needed.
• Data will be submitted as bytes, meaning any data type or number of variables can be pulled in a single query.

we are tellor
A Decentralized Oracle Network

Note: Tellor has been live on ethereum mainnet since mid-2019, but we are new to Bitcointalk! Please forgive our temporary absence from this historic platform! We will be creating a separate announcement for the next version of tellor: Tellor X.

Why was Tellor Built?
Building a truly decentralized project is impossible without a decentralized source of off-chain data. Data that can be requested, validated and broadcasted on-chain transparently with the appropriate incentives.

Many DeFi projects attempt to solve this problem by choosing centralized data feeds and APIs, or publicly available exchange data that attempts to supplement on-chain data. Or worse, some manually input data with a fallback to the team, creating room for error, outages or a market crash.

Should a new project introduce risk of data corruption for the sake of convenience and control? Blockchain projects shouldn’t - and can’t - leave data security up to a centralized source, or private proprietary APIs that could be subject to manipulation. Today, users demand trustless data from the ground up.

Introducing Tellor, the first unstoppable oracle for finding and validating off-chain data. So users can build unstoppable protocols from the ground up.

The Tellor Oracle Protocol
Tellor proposes a solution to the oracle problem using a permissionless community consensus mechanism for determining what is a “correct” value. The system incentivizes Tellor data providers to compete for Tellor Tribute Tokens [TRB] that can be earned by successfully recording oracle data on the Ethereum blockchain. With the current implementation of the protocol (Tellor 3), data providers are required to solve a proof of work challenge. We refer to these individuals as “staked miners”, because they must lock up a 500 TRB bond as collateral against “bad” or malicious data.

The Tipping Mechanism
The tellor tribute [TRB] is also used to “tip” or “pay tribute” to the oracles (miners) at any time to quickly refresh the database. This gives users a trustless mechanism for getting data updated more quickly when the ethereum network is busy.

The Dispute Mechanism
Tellor uses an innovative dispute mechanism to protect users against malicious miners. Any TRB holder/user may dispute any value if they believe that the submitted value is not correct or malicious. The disputer must pay a dispute fee that is bonded for 48 hours while TRB holders vote on the dispute. If the dispute is supported, the disputer takes the miner’s 500 TRB stake. If the dispute is challenged by the community, the miner receives the dispute fee.

Funding
Tellor had no ICO. Full time development is funded by a 10% Dev Share of mining rewards.

This project is in direct  response to members of the crypto community who scream:
 
"why would anyone want grin? the inflation is too high!"

How is that not interesting?

Hello! Great idea. How will the project development be funded?
