RE: Oracles and their Inherent Censorship Problem

Thanks for the valuable input @arthur.grafo.

I used the word "reliable" in an objective sense meaning a source which is known to be reliable objectively but still could be corrupted by bad actors once in a while. Reliable but not guaranteed.

For instance Binance is an objectively reliable exchange but they certainly cannot guarantee that they are hack proof.

    Hello @devann and @arthur.grafo

    As pointed out by @arthur.grafo, reliable, as a word, is widely subjective and can mean different things to different. In my personal opinion, instead of trying to give subjective meaning to well-meaning arguments, using consensus as a base can help solve the debate.

    A consensus based protocol that gives a weighted average consideration to all inputs and propagates​ outputs accordingly can certainly do the trick.

    Thanks for the comments.
