:: SONM - Supercomputer Organized by Network Mining :: Crowdsale Begins Tomorrow
The next generation of digital services has arrived with Decentralized Super-computing technologies based on blockchain protocols
It begins with
SONM
Implementing Technology to radically change the Centralized Cloud computing structure into a Decentralized Fog computing network
SONM is a Decentralized Fog Supercomputer for worldwide use in general purpose computing. This computing power can be used for a variety of tasks including the basic site hosting all the way up into highly technical scientific research computing, effectively solving a worldwide problem with "cloud computing" while creating a market for decentralized computational power.
The SONM network will be run with the token SONM, a cryptocurrency token which will be used to purchase computing power from providers. Overall, it would provide a more cost effective solution to expensive cloud infrastructure. Essentially, the 'Miners' in this case are computational power providers, and anyone can 'Mine' using a multitude of devices as long as it is connected to the internet. All 'Miners' will have easy access to automatization features that choose the most profitable tasks for your device. This provides reduced cost for computation power buyers as each task is delegated to the most appropriate device and energies wasted would be minimalized.
USE CASES
The SONM Network has basically an unlimited amount of use cases based on what computational tasks the world needs. With SONM, the Internet of Everything (IOE) protocol can be implemented by providing data processing to occur locally instead of being sent into the cloud.
Site Hosting and Game servers
Instead of relying on centralized Cloud services or hosting providers, the SONM network provides a decentralized solution using Cocaine PaaS along with decentralized storage to provide hosting servers.
One easy to implement and realize the potential in SONM is within the gaming industry. Gaming servers require a lot of computing power and the SONM network would be ideal solution. Furthermore, the rise of in-game currencies in online video games has been exponential and the SOMN token is a secured blockchain cryptocurrency capable of being easily exchanged. By gaming companies implementing SONM, it would provide a secured in-game currency along with a highly stable Fog Supercomputer acting as the server.
Scientific R&D
Within certain fields of science and engineering, there is a necessity for large computing capacity due to high frequency input/output data processing and storage.
- Testing Drug interactions and new medicines
- Engineering modeling
- Infrastructure design
- Explosive weapons dynamics
- Aerospace controls and rocket design
These are just some areas that require large computing power in which these companies buy expensive hardware or most likely access through the cloud.
End User – Why use SONM?
The SONM network would be able to supply computational power demand at a fraction of the cost due to a decentralized marketplace setting; the value on computing power will be set by a market demand instead of what large cloud providers decide to charge.
There is only so much I can explain about this technology, for a much more deeper analysis of the SONM protocol, how it works, more use cases, mining, and basically all the information you need for investing or using the SONM network please read the WHITEPAPER found here:

The SONM development team is hosting a crowdsale for SONM tokens starting tomarrow
6/15/17
This is a token creation crowdsale utilizing Ethereum smart contracts where users will send Eth and directly receive SNM tokens in return based upon the terms. This also will mean that a total coin cap will be dependent upon how many ETH are invested into creating the SONM tokens.
As stated from the development team, there are pre-investors already involved while many bitcoin investors are speculating that this will be another ICO hitting its max cap within hours.
For more information regarding this sale including the terms of sale and token creation methods visit the Ico dashboard:

Another great place for information involving bitcoin and altcoins is the #1 forum for crypto

How is this different than Golem? I think I will stick with Gridcoin.
They are quite similiar, tho im not that informed with the golem project...
Competition is always a good thing!
lol, since Golem is just an idea, I guess they are exactly the same... Why people invest in Ideas over actual working applied blockchains, like Gridcoin - this but working and crunching scientific numbers as we speak- why people invest in shitcoins is beyond me.
Some ideas have very intelligent people behind it. Now that they have the funding, it can be realized.
Comparing the whitepapers, each coin has a different approach. Which is great, they all could be big players in a multi hundred billion market.
I would assume others will also come and join the party so as to get a piece of that enormous pie
