There are quite big disinformation about SONM project here on btctalk for sure. I don't think its scam or scammy. And I don't think it will do 5x that easy. It will be better after more updates and these "oh scam!" cries.
I've seen a lot of fud but can't seem to get any real answers, maybe its competitiors or people trying to keep the price down to accumulate, can't figure it out.
The problem is that here is not much communication is made by the devs.
Little info means little interest from investors . They want to read news here and not on slack or somewhere else
But they only wrote a lot when they needed money. Now they have money and do not write anymore.
People say the developers have no time to write! This is silly. Everyone has an hour time on the day here the news
Its conflicting because on one hand you want them to focus on the tech but the lack of communication is hard
