To SONM
I like your big picture. Having this vision in mind, I think it comes with consequences. You need to develop, grow and innovate at a relatively high speed since todays investors expect wonders and Blockchain-Industry forming process strongly gains momentum.
Actually you only can sell the vision. However with your first product you set the way.
SONM-project needs to be recognized by as much people as possible. You have to take advantage out of todays Bitcoin hype. Explain non-tech guys that SONM has the right to exist. That SONM is 3rd generation Blockchain technology that offers a good alternative to other projects inkl. Bitcoin. In my opinion even simple but still informative hand drawn cartoons are beneficial to gain interest and to fulfil crypto-investor needs.
In my view SONM consists of two parts that you have to combine, build and sell well. Currency (Store of value/SNM) and Computation (Data processing, storage, smart Network).
- Currency: SNM is a store of value like BTC. But since you are 3rd generation Blockchain technology, you offer more. Improvements in functionality and security
. (private home side-chain, specific multi-sig.).
- Computation market is easy to see since computation will power the future. (And theoretically most other Blockchain-projects could run on SONM-Network since they depend on computation. SONM could even dynamically control them to increase their performance depending on their actual usage.)
One potential purpose of SONM is/could be to uncover most sustainable resource with highest intrinsic value for society. If your system could even increase Knowledge-Mining efficiency over time because it is, a smart, resource efficient network would be fantastic. (I like the term Knowledge-Mining. May be you use/protect this term).
Most computational power will be used by big companies, institutions and governments. Therefor SONM has to be an expert-system which fits to their requirements and legislation. On the other hand the same expert system has to be so easy that even my grandmother is able to handle it and to get some benefit out of it, by providing/receiving power respectively SNM. Digital support systems (Bot) could be nice since I believe that could be standard soon and people dont want to spend time but still part.
Lokation: I clearly understand your todays points but it could be a limiting factor at some point. My view: You need high MarketCap to get recognized and to hold step with the speed. Since investment money in crypto space is highly mobile location plays a role. In some ore the other way you need have another location too. Take advantage out of this fact.
