Cocaine is amazing technology ! What pre ico date ?

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)

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

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.

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?

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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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)
