the added use of Oracles. The caveat with this implementation is that it adds a layer of trust that is necessary

Have you looked at Equilibria (XEQ)? Their project died when their core guy split, but from my understanding it was the first really trustless oracle. I could be wrong, but it might be worth a look anyway:

For Bitshares, I remember we put quite a bit of time into ILP and HTLC ACCS..

I realize Bitshares is not Hive, but Graphene is where all this spawned from iirc.

Anyhooz, I love seeing posts like this because it brings us one step closer to dumping all reliance on CEX's! :)
