Yes, all the unsold ICO tokens will be burned.

I like this idea, just an ico that can raise 32 million doesnt look like a good deal, most people will be able to buy the ico.

What if its not sold out will this be burned ?

In about 1-1.5 weeks. Currently we are finalizing the SONM whitepaper, making preICO smart contract security test, arranging interviews, etc.
We'll announce the exact date in this thread and all SONM social media accounts.
Sorry for the delay - we just want to make all things right before the crowdfunding)

---

PreICO crowdfunding will take place using only ETH as the deposit method.
At the main ICO we'll implement the BTC and other crypto deposits via Shapeshift or similar service.

---

Previous thread is Pre-ANN thread. This is the ANN thread for the preICO.

Most of the initial SONM developers team members are Russians, but currently we are hiring new team members from all over the world:

• developers
• community managers
• marketing and PR managers
• advisers (crypto, grid computing, security, etc.)

---

The exact date of preICO start will be announced in about 1-2 days. We want to make sure everything is perfect by the start of any crowdfunding.

Bounty campaign terms will be announced after the start of preICO. Bounty campaign itself will start after the preICO, and before the ICO.
We will announce all the bounty campaign details and terms in this thread and add this info to the opening post.

---

Sorry about the delay, answered to PM.
We have lots of work to do at the moment to make all the things perfect before the preICO. Because of this, we are answering PM messages with some delay, but be sure - we'll answer everyone as soon as we can.

PreICO will start in about 1-1.5 weeks.
We'll announce the exact date of the start in a couple of days.


Speaking about dividends - 2$ amount per 1SNM tokens isn't correct.
According the market assumptions and our calculations from the SONM Whitepaper financial model (3.4. Dividends and fees), minimal dividends amount per 1000SNM tokens will be about $229.3 (about $0.23 per 1 SNM token).
Also, note that models are only attempts at approximating reality and in cryptoasset markets, where speculation abounds, no one can truly predict the outcome.


Speaking about the other decentralized computing projects.
Yes, this area has lots of competitors, but SONM platform has benefits in comparison to them.
For example, SONM p2p technology is based on the Cocaine open source PaaS system, which is being used as the backend for the Yandex sevices. Also, one of the Cocaine platform creators, Anton Tiurin is the member of the SONM team, so, in fact, we already have the time-tested and effective solution.
And this is only one of the SONM technology benefits.

But Golem, iEx.Ec and Elastic are also very interesting and promising projects, and this competition gonna be interesting)

 

hello, do you think preICO will start this incoming week or later ??
I read a bit the whitepaper, so do you really expect that after 5 years dividents will be at least 2dollar/SNM ??
also, do you think about work together or compete Golem, iEx.ec and Elastic ?? there is big competition there ^^
thanks

Hi,
I have sent a response in a pm (we had a conversation initiated regarding translation and more), but have yet to receive any response from you.
I do believe it would be minimum courtesy to reply when someone answers questions asked by you.
Awaiting your response.
Thanks.

looks really interesting ! what will be the ICO bonus ?? I hope I will have time to invest in preICO I'm waiting some investements to go out on market soon

This sounds nice would like to hear some great news about this preICO period. Any update regarding bounties when they will be announced.

I think this new thread was opened for the pre-sale, I don't think they are all Russians most of them are from Eastern European that is why their names look the Russians, I know some of them are from Poland

I can see two threads for SONM. So is this the main thread or only for this pre ICO. Main team is all Russians? Where are based right now guys?

This announcement is coming faster than I thought, I want to know if you guys are collecting your fund mainly with Ethers or you will allow for Bitcoin contributions too. Best of luck to you guys

Cocaine is amazing technology ! What pre ico date ?

UPDATE:

Good news, everyone!

We've made the final arrangements with SebastianJU about the SONM crowdsale escrow.

SebastianJU, the legendary bitcointalk escrow, will provide his escrow service both for the SONM preICO and ICO.
All the preICO and ICO funds will be collected to his escrow wallet.

In a few days we'll announce the final version of the SONM whitepaper + the exact date of the preICO start.

Stay tuned)

Andrey is still the SONM co-founder and adviser.

Sergey is the SONM platform lead developer and the creator of its architecture, code, etc.
He will give interviews to the crypto media websites before the start of the preICO, to provide the complex info about the SONM system implementation and roadmap.
Currently we are discussing the details with Cointelegraph, Coininterview and some ICO lists.

---

Stay tuned.

Its a pity Andrey Voronkov is not the lead of SONM anymore. He seemed to be a reasonable person.

We know nothing about Ponomarev at all 

Does that actually mean there will be zero connection of SONM to the DrugDiscovery@Home project starting from now?

At the moment the lead of the SONM project is Sergey Ponomarev, lead developer of the SONM platform and CTO. At the moment our key goal is the platform development.
Later SONM team will hire a competent CEO to handle project management, public relations, HR, etc. 

Andrey Voronkov is still the SONM project co-founder and adviser.

In a few days we'll announce the next edition of the SONM whitepaper.

We received very valuable feedback on the previous SONM whitepaper edition from the cryptocommunity and from crypto\blockchain\grid experts.
Due to this feedback, we decided to split the WP into 2 parts: Technical Whitepaper & Financial Whitepaper.

• Technical whitepaper contains the essential info about the SONM architecture, API and code examples, technical roadmap, system modules implementation roadmap, timeline, etc. Pure tech.
• Financial roadmap contains the financial and marketing model of the SONM platform, monetization model, SNM token details and market prognosis, PreICO and ICO details, crowdfunding funds allocation structure, detailed costs plan, market analysis, etc

We believe, this WP separation will make it more clear and easier to understand:

Tech guys are not interested in reading market analysis and financial plan - they want to know how will the SONM platform be implemented from the tech point of view.
Non-it investors want to know how SONM will monetize the platform, crowdfunding funds allocation, what are the benefits of investing in the PreICO\ICO, etc.

---

Also, in a few days we'll announce the exact date of the PreICO start.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for the attention to our project.

P.S.
We apologize for the long response time to PM messages. We'll answer to every question and PM as soon as we can.
Thanks.

Your project seems good, so wonderful after reading your white paper, good luck to the team and hopefully get a better replacement.

Could someone explain me why Andrey Voronkov tells he is former lead of the SONM?
Who is the current lead then?

What a mess...

closely watching for more info, Kindly do more to keep us posted. All the available media should be as active as before. We hope for a resolution soonest

Good decision in my opinion to let the dust settles down before the presale. I have been watching this space since I learnt about the project and the team behind it.

SONM team official press release.

We need to comment on the situation concerning some ex SONM team members disappointment in the SONM system development roadmap and project management.

We maintain the most transparent policy in the project development, so we want to provide the detailed description of this situation to the bitcointalk.org and crypto community.

During the SONM platform development, project leaders' vision of decentralized computer and computing power exchange implementation technology at some moment differed with the vision of some members of the team.

Specifically:

Golem has announced the Docker containers support, which indicates that fog computing projects will use the same standards as the cloud computing:

• SaaS (Software as a service) support,
• Isolated, safe and standard containers support
• Widespread, modern and standard programming languages support

SONM lead developers believe that the SONM platform must be compatible with existing cloud technologies, thus giving the people, not familiar with blockchain and decentralized systems, the opportunity to use all their benefits with no need to learn new architecture or new programming language.

You should be able to use the familiar technologies on the SONM platform,
to be the part of the progress, at the same time saving the legacy  of your existing products,
to be the part of the technological revolution with no need to make it off Node.js.


We believe that the IT startup flexibility, especially before the funding, is the essential condition for its viability and commercial success.
Key technological aspects needed to be settled before the preICO, so this is the main reason of the presale postponement.

For the last 3 weeks SONM team was making the effort to negotiate and keep all the team members with the same areas of responsibility.
Unfortunately, the negotiation was unsuccessful.

As a result of negotiations, SONM team approved the new technological structure of the SONM project.
All the legal issues are agreed with the Digital BioPharm Ltd (DrugDiscovery@home) CEO Andrey Voronkov.
SONM project founders remain the same.

So, SONM project team continues its way more united than ever.
We will announce the date of the SONM preICO in a few days.

Stay tuned:
