http://telegra.ph/Review-of-the-SONM-presale-contract-02-04http://imgur.com/a/cqbelTeam cooperation and synergy was a big problem in the team. Not paying for work is one thing.
From the very beginning the whole project was at risk because of bad management of people, tasks in project and holding work on purpose by Sergey Ponomarev, who wanted the whole project for himself.
At some point I was included in telegram channel SONM CORE-developers, without particular reason as in this project I should be responsible for marketing, biz dev and design concept in general, not technical details.
It appeared that Ponomarev is not obligated to do smart contract development because of typo in his agreement.
His original responsibilities in agreement
were whole sonm platform plus www and graphic design … because of typo changing especially blockchain to except blockchain …
His email about refusing to make Ethereum development which everybody in team, including him, were perfectly aware that this suppose to be his duty and it was main reason why he is participating.
Even that wasn't the worst thing, after few weeks of disputes, he created a smart contract which was not so good in quality as we would expect from someone who is describing himself on sonm.io website as experienced smart contract developer. Here is a crosscheck reference of Ponomarev code done by junior Ethereum developer Max Taldykin.
http://telegra.ph/Review-of-the-SONM-presale-contract-02-04and that was just beginning... of rocky road.
After I saw code and it’s reference by Max sent to Andrew, and as my PR and image was used in whitepaper to bust credibility to this code, I asked to be described differently and publicly stated that I am not responsible for core development of sonm project, as I am part of marketing sale team not core dev team of sonm architecture.
After few days, the dispute end-up that Max has created new smart contract and I do additional testing of it, in the meantime, as we already had big delays, mostly because of Ponomarev denies of action on smart contract development and fuss which arises around that.
CEO Andrew ask me to edit post so it would look better.
The fights inside team for domination in project between Andrew and Ponomarev were everyday more and more clear. Even if whole team was cooperating in March, after few potential investment declarations, money on table triggered greed in young inexperienced in development part of team.
What will be quality of the sonm.io code as Panomarew will be unable to refuse to work as CEO to make imaginary designs and having no intention of giving up his second part time job as on CTO position to much better developers in his team ?
