    Feelings on alts for the next year or so?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2019 05:15 PM PDT

    Over the course of 2018 I cut my alt portfolio down from double digit alts to only a few. Some I consolidated into my remaining alt positions while other I traded to Bitcoin.

    I've been down to 7 coins for the entirety of 2019 and for the first time this year I'm struggling with what to do. I do believe that sometime in the future a lot of alts will significantly increase in value. But at the same time, it's hard to imagine that happening without BTC pumping to either new highs or close to it. It's hard to imagine a scenario in the next few months where alts increase their dominance vs BTC.

    I'm not trying to be a trader here, I mostly want to hold. But I'm having trouble seeing a scenario in the next few months where alts improve instead of getting worse vs Bitcoin. It's particularly difficult because I like the coins I still have left.

    How do you guys feel?

    Let us remember that open source has been and will be the future of the internet

    Posted: 13 Sep 2019 02:45 PM PDT

    Just as Linux took the server rooms because of the cost efficient manner in which open source works. Blockchain will do the very same. We must keep in mind the true meaning of open source as these projects appear. We must as a community be willing to accept the goods and the bads of all projects and understand the only way these issues are solved is by YOU, yes YOU, get your hands dirty contributing. No one project is going to be perfect or be for every purpose. This would be like only one car company that carried one car and that's all we drove and worked with. Open source is a mindset, it's an understanding that humanity truly benefits from selfless development and and that by building proprietary systems it destroys the benefits it can have and people wont flock to using it because of the cost. Open source is only as powerful as it's community, not it's shilling about the profits that could or couldn't be made. IF YOU ARE HERE you need to contribute back in some way. If your not a developer, mine, teach your family about it and give them some on their phones, support it in your online shops. TLDR: the hammer and the wheel wouldn't have made it as far as it has if you had to pay someone just to experiment with the thought of using it to build something. EDIT: IF YOU DOWNVOTE ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR ARGUMENT.

    SONM EXIT SCAM? - 43 million - new type of scam

    Posted: 13 Sep 2019 07:38 AM PDT

    Sonm Status Announcement 🇬🇧 Date: 12 Sep 2019.

    Sonm development is finished, Sonm is implemented and is operational for more than a year so far. Today Sonm goes into the public domain (with the limitations of GPL) as a decentralized open-source platform. Project is open for everyone's usage and we use it ourselves.

    Today Sonm features: - A decentralized PC-sharing network, open for public usage. - An order of hundred active machines in the network. - The unknown number (probably tens or hundreds but we do not know this for sure) of standby machines. - Documentation portal https://docs.sonm.io/ -- Including all the required setup guides -- And usage manuals - All source code is published on the Github https://github.com/sonm-io, where anyone is free to send a pull request, including sample applications templates: -- Software bot for automated resource provisioning and mining job launching https://github.com/sonm-io/core/tree/master/connor -- A reference implementation of a parallel execution module for massive task execution on Sonm https://github.com/sonm-io/taskman - PoA sidechain https://blockchain-monitor.sonm.com/ - Sidechain explorer https://explorer.livenet.sonm.com/ which is a unique one of a kind solution with the source code https://github.com/sonm-io/explorer - Web wallet GUI hosted at Sonm website (with a tracker) https://market.sonm.com/#/ and a version hosted on the Github (without a tracker) https://sonm-io.github.io/gui/#/ with the source code https://github.com/sonm-io/Wallet - The platform is integrated with KYC service provider https://cryptonomica.net/

    Starting today Sonm development and adoption is a community affair, the team ceases to fulfill a leading and representative role and will focus on its projects in the nearby field.

    Due to the great potential of fog computing and due to significant applied developments in this area, the former employees of the Sonm company, headed by I. Lebedev, plan to continue working as a new private independent company:

    • Developing cloud render farm Rays as a private startup, raise fundings and run commerce.

    • Rays will continue using Sonm because Sonm is outstanding and we know this because we implemented it and it works for us. Sonm gives you an ability to rent machines times cheaper than in the cloud, no alternative solutions are providing these advantages.

    • We are considering other applied project ideas to monetize Sonm hardware, including GPU cloud and ML platform.

    • We will develop Sonm platform as a public domain open source based on common rights (as part of the community) when this will align with our project interests (today this is Rays) and propose network upgrades when new versions will be out.

    • We are accepting to fulfill the role of maintainers for public domain Sonm platform source code repositories: -- review and approve pull requests -- sometimes bring our pull requests -- provide tech support in our chats, share knowledge -- maintain the minimum required infrastructure and solve related technical issues.

    In other words, we plan to develop our own projects on Sonm and invite everyone to join. Shall you need help - we are here to support, send us a message.

    Additional facts: - We will now start publishing non-periodic Sonm reports when we will have something to share with you. - We have a task left, which we seek to finish - to launch the masternodes and transition the infrastructure maintenance to the community. Until then the infrastructure is on us. - Websites and related resources, such as packet distribution services - will all continue working, this is on us too.

    From what we know Sonm is being used by at least: - Rays startup - CraftML startup
