Message: [QUOTE="uconntoatl, post: 4043079, member: 6672"] Thats the difference between proof of work vs proof of stake. Miners have been known to frontrun transactions with "sandwiches". Meaning, for example, if I was a miner and you wanted to by a rando coin at a dollar, I, as the miner, could determine the order of your transaction with mine on the blockchain. Thus, as I miner, I see (my computer) there is a buy order at 1, so I decide to buy at 1 before your transaction, execute your transaction at 1.01 or 1.02 (a little bit higher than original placement) then sell my original buy after executing yours. These micro transactions add up, and that's on top of the miner already being rewarded for executing and verifying your single tranaction. This is not the intention of how the blockchain is suppose to work and chainlink is working to solve this problem. [/QUOTE]
