I tired discussing this on the Trollbox on HitBTC, where the ICO has been getting immense hype. I mentioned the SONM team business plan and roadmap and had my messages manually deleted by a moderator. After trying a third time (not spam posting, sufficient time between tries) I was banned for an hour. Strangely, I was banned for an hour yesterday while trying to discuss what I found to be off about the SONM idea.

I can't say anyone is conspiring to keep information about possible issues with SONM a secret there...then again, I can't say anything there, being banned at present. :)

On another note: Their big demo was being able to run a Quake III server with bots and 32 players. Apparently, it was a little laggy...but that didn't stop them from collecting several million USD worth of ETH from folks. Sad, sad, shady things.
