Hey, I have already finished the Chinese translation of SONM Whitepaper, if needed, just let me know.
One more thing, could you tell me the difference between SONM and GNT please?
The comparison between Golem and Sonm can be found in the business Overview:
http://sonm.io/Sonm1.pdf4.1. SONM in comparison to Golem Network
"SONM has the following advantages compared to Golem:
Golem network hasn’t demonstrated any proof-of-concept yet. Golem network currently isn’t able to process
general purpose computing. Their network is available in the test mode only for CGI rendering.
Furthermore, SONM uses Cocaine open source PaaS platform which is compatible with a more common
and standardized BOINC platform, also used in lots of existing distributed projects, therefore SONM is
compatible with many of them.
Also, unlike BOINC, Cocaine platform support SaaS (Software as a service), widespread, modern and standard
programming languages, isolated, safe and standard containers (Docker).
In addition, as we are developing SONM using a lot of open source technologies, we already have the core,
network platform and most of the other important features of the project, and, in fact, we are ahead of the
Golem project at least by two years of development.
Golem’s range of applications is still limited. At the moment, efficiently tested tasks in Golem are limited
only to rendering CGI in Blender.
Golem has less functionality. Golem represents the “peer-to-peer market” for computational resources.
SONM is a cryptographically secure protocol providing tasks distribution, validation of results and proportional
correct payment for the used computational power.
Validation of the computing results. The results validation system is one of the Golem project’s weak
points. Not all of the computations’ results are being validated, so Golem is depending on their reputation
system to prevent users from paying malicious miners for the wrong calculations results. This system is
potentially vulnerable and can be exploited.
SONM uses Docker verification system allowing to check all the received results for correctness."
It's always best to check out slack:

I have checked the whitepaper, but I didn't find many details about "SONM in comparison to iEx.Ec project", except "iEx.Ec uses its own XtremWeb-HEP protocol. It is similar to BOINC, but it has been tested less and has a smaller community and support behind it." Can you give more information about this point please?
