Excuse me but i know exactly what im asking and why im asking it.I see official Sonm support here and im asking him to spare couple of minutes to reply ,like he usually replies in the thread.I dont use telegram or slack so i hope i will get some answer here.
I have read this thread for almost an year and alot of people including you have made numerous of times predictions of how much SNM is going to be worth after sometime and you must agree that so far 99% of the predictions here have been wrong.And please stop all that nonsense about 10-15-20x ,it is getting childish.Sonm is just arroud ICO price now after almost an year so lets cut the moon talk.I care about the masternodes. Usually they are attractive for long term investors, but how you can put long term in SNM masternode when in the blog it, says that SONM can remove them and switch to ETH main network in any moment ?
The point of spending 100k $ for a gate keeper node is that you as an investor believe that at the moment this project is really undervalued and it is gonna explode sooner or later and you are going to get passive income for the not so small risk you are taking at the moment ,cause you must all agree that 500 k tokens are really alot, even 100k too.
Greetings!
Thank for the questions!
The main problem solved by SONM blockchain is the acceleration and reduction in the cost of transaction costs for users. (Here are the articles about the technical details of
SONM blockchain and the
new component of the system - DWH). The main problem solved by masternodes is the real decentralization of the system, as well as some moments of the economy that are described in the
article about masternodes. We believe that it is much more important to run a fully functioning system and not depend on the problems of scaling Ethereum, as well as the high cost of transactions in mainnet. As shown by cryptokitties (and now there are other similar projects), mainnet is subject to the above problems. We do not want the impact of these problems on our ecosystem and therefore decided to go by the way of the Plasma-like sidechain (SONM blockchain). For us, the stability of the system is very important and we understand the entire responsibility of this step, as well as the problems that may arise.
We also think that we should not worry about the rapid transition of mainnet to a new protocol, because implementing such changes requires a very careful approach, which (unambiguously) will take a lot of time. And it is unlikely that this will be 6 months.
One question that we do not understand is why are you worried about the stake of the masternode holder? When the mainnet Ethereum (and SONM blockchain also goes) to the new protocol, the owner's funds will remain with him, in addition, until that moment he will already receive a certain profit. There will be no financial losses. Only moral losses from changing plans for the expected income. You must assess the risk of this investment yourself. We, for our part, give the data for this assessment.
Also, we want to remind you that with the transition of Ethereum to a new protocol, the relevance of masternodes will not change, because PoS will be introduced. Of course, it will already be mastenodes Ethereum, but who said that they will not bring in revenue?
In any case, we will proceed from the interests of the optimal operation of our platform, the lion's share of which is the interests of the participants in the work of the platform (customers, suppliers, masternode holders also). So you do not have to worry about this!
We will be glad to questions, thank you, that you write to us!
Stay tuned
SONM team
