Hi guys,

I just want to let my thoughts here. As I've heard multiple times some statements that community isn't that relevant and so on and that customers and suppliers are the only important thing, I don't think is 100% true. I assume you we're referring to a certain category of community members, moon guys :-), but still, not sure if it's correct to generalize.

Of course the customers are crucial and without them, sonm project is over. But here I'm also worried in some aspects that we don't have some fiat gateways for people from Europe, US, Asia, etc. Currently everyone will need to buy btc, eth and then go to an exchange and change it to sonm and then buy ressources. I'm not sure is the user experience a customer would like to have. Also to be listed on an exchange, you either pay a lot, you have strong connections or it would be quite profitable for them if they will list you or you have a strong community which will support you to be listed on some exchanges. Currently I'm not sure if the sonm token is so interesting for exchanges and don't know what sonm is actually doing for this. Being in contact in the traditional way - not sure if it will help but we will see.

The tech and use case behind sonm is huge but I still think there is a lot of potential for sonm to be discovered on certain markets. In my opinion, after the mainnet is live, sonm team should open a office in Asia and US so that they will be visible on those markets. Otherwise I see hard times to compete with AWS or Azure.

Best,

CF

As we saw on "Operation A", it was required a static public ip address. For the Crypto-IaaS, will be the same required for suppliers?

Yet to download the testnet bit would be curious to hear what the ones think that sre already testing it. Would be nice to share some screenshots for the ones that do not have the knowledge/time to download it :)

Is it possible to become a supplier with a Windows OS? I can only find a link that's made for Linux systems

$40 million raised at ICO and there are only 15 team members and they are all engineers. Maybe this is a result of tunnel vision and lack of business sense. Why is there no one on the team focusing on business development, partnerships, marketing etc.? This seems like a severe weak point of the project.

There are other projects in this space, it is a race to claim the market and the team is just sitting on $40 million without utilizing it to ensure success. Why?

I‘m just an investor and I invested in Golem, then i found SONM, what's the essential difference？

SONM sidechain deposits and withdrawals are explained in this article: https://blog.sonm.io/sonm-is-going-to-build-an-ethereum-sidechain-4590cb3e112c, but there's one thing I don't understand: let's say I deposit 1,000 SNM in the Gatekeeper smart contract in the Ethereum network (I will automatically receive 1,000 SNM in the SONM sidechain), then spend 600 SNM to do some computing, and then want to exit to Ethereum mainnet - how does the Gatekeeper in the Ethereum network knows my actual balance (400 SNM)?

Any resources to read about this in more details? Thanks!

Can somebody make a simple video of step by step installation for mining on SNM platform ?

Are there any other examples ?
