isn't this just like how Golem (GNT) is? which i think can be a scam in the end.
Golem project is also developing decentralized supercomputer platform. (+ iEx.Ec, Elastic, etc.)
SONM main benefits comparing to competing projects are:
1. Modified p2p version of widespread BOINC protocol , used to distribute computing tasks between the miners in the network. (

2. 3 years old functional DrugDiscovery@home project, first system implementing SONM technologies (

its always a mumbo jumbo and they complicate things like its for geeks only, they can't simply say a thing about it until they just prompt us the btc address where to send the money to them. its always bullshit.
If you didn't read the thread and draft whitepaper or\and you don't have enough tech knowledge to understand the technology - it doesn't mean that devs complicate things.
Cheers.
