[ANN][ICO] SOMA - The Social Marketplace

[Elkmar]

I don't want a community manager on telegram or discord. Everybody's first priority should be here. I shouldn't need anything other than here to take current news from the team.

It is really necessary to make the Icos aware that bct wire is still the best meeting point with its most aggressive investors, and of course, the safest platform to keep professional contacts without taking absurd risks as there is in the telegran and discord

Slack is really good but people started to fall to scammers and slack devs can't do anything about that. To be honest if you fall for slack's scams you must stay away from crypto at all.
However, I'm glad that the most trustworthy platforms these days are the good old forums

I agree with you it's funny how many people fall to such plump scams. I hope soma will get some more funds in the end period of this ICO.

I'm not surprised. One day I received an sms from a scammer telling me to connect to my bank. I answered does that really work ? I thought I would have no response, he said 20% ok the bank users having enabled the sms option. I said why do you do this ? He said because I know no other jobs giving me 4000$ per week.

It can be they are getting quite busy with ICO, they should have hired a community manager in here to answer the questions maybe

a community manager would be worth it. you pay little money to him or give him tokens, and the gain you get is prolly genereous big...

everyone should hire at least a com manager only to answer all those questions from the users quickly...

yes it's money well invested, there is no point in having a thread if there is no interaction with the team. Lets hope they understand and things change

Has anyone asked about this on their telegram? I don't really do telegram myself (maybe i should)... but still would be nice to have answers in here too.

Its a little to late for that now since ICO is already coming to an end. The most question needed to be answered when people were deciding to invest and not after. But on the other hand, if you were really interested, you should go to telegram, its not that hard to download the app and join.

Telegram is easy to use. But that's a mistake to forget btctalk community in my opinion.

I agree with that, IMHO telegram and bitcointalk should be main source of info

There will be some announcements very soon!
Just wait a little bit more! Great news is coming

Oh really? You must know more than us then. Have you spoken with the Soma team?

About time we got some news!

The Bitcoin SegWit2X fork will take place in about 2 weeks.

Everybody is hoarding Bitcoin right now. SOMA should consider extending the ICO until after the fork.

So the ICO is ending just one day before the Bitcoin fork? That's indeed not a really good moment. I am wondering why they haven't decided to just extend the ICO for 1 or 2 weeks longer so that investors can react to the situation after the fork.

But i think bitcointalk is the first priority because team first time announced ico on bitcointalk and new people usually search ico project on bitcointalk not on telegram. So the team must active here not on telegram

Keep an eye on this thread!

I'm curious about this news. Soma team should definitely announce something about this extended ico situation

[Rigorous]

If I remember correctly the excuse for the extension was that they were busy getting the tokens on exchanges and expanding their team. Let me find the announcement.

Soma ICO Extended until 15th of November Due to Big New Developments

Soma had major updates in the last week that significantly strengthen the value of our offering to potential buyers. After consulting with our advisors, we decided to extend our ICO.

SCT Now Listed On Exchanges

SCT is now listed on exchanges, such as Yobit and Etherdelta and we are in the final stages of negotiating more. Availability on exchanges is critical for everyone participating in ICOs. Extending the sale an additional 2,5 weeks will allow us to finalize more exchanges, providing additional confidence for our contributors.

New Advisors and Marketing Team

A major part of why we did the ICO was to hire a new team. We are pleased to share three new advisors who will lead our marketing.

David Passiak is the former Head of Innovation for dubizzle, the largest P2P marketplace in the Middle East where our advisor Arto Joensuu served as CEO. Arto introduced us to David, and David brought in his team of Chelsea Rustrum and Riku Luukkonen.

David and Chelsea hosted a webinar for us this past week - check out the recording - and we negotiated for them to lead our marketing moving forward. They are three of the top marketers in the world and experts in blockchain and social marketplaces.

Increased Traction and Detailed Roadmap

Our new marketing leads had a major impact in just one week. Our Telegram group grew by 400 people, we increased weekly sales transactions by 350% and website visits by 20%, and received some great media coverage including an article on Soma in Forbes

Soma have an excellent alpha product for Ios that you can test here, detailed roadmap, and with our new marketing team a solid plan on how to execute the beta launch in Q1 2018. We would love the opportunity to tell you more next week in a webinar.

David Passiak will interview our founders, followed by a live Q&A. Learn our story, vision, product roadmap. We will follow-up with an invitation to the webinar.

More Big News Coming Soon

We hope you understand the reasons why we extended the sale and look forward to answering any questions next week in our webinar. Thanks for your continued support and being with us on our journey to revolutionize how we buy and sell items.

With gratitude,
The Soma Team

Maybe the big news is related to the "major updates in the last week that significantly strengthen the value".

Thank you to the Team for this position, understandable reasons already foreseen for an extension, I congratulate you for the excellent strategy and attention to the moment and the work carried out so far. following...

[Trrrt]

Great to know that tomorrow the team will make an annoncement, im impatient to see what soma team will say. The extension of the Ico is not that bad in think, more money can be raised.

I'm hoping that they know what they are doing and that this is the right decision

[magisterr]

Community looks great...is there any possibility of airdrop?
If no what are the possible exchanges in which this token going to be listed?

An airdrop it's been discussed in this thread but we received no answers yet. About exchanges, it's already added on yobit and etherdelta (SOMA on yobit and SCT on ED)

Tokens not trading now. There only "buy" orders... Trading will be avaliable after ICO end...
and I hope for better exchanges

Everybody is hoarding Bitcoin right now. SOMA should consider extending the ICO until after the fork.

I think extending an ICO over and over will bring mistrust into current investors and potential future investors. In this case I think they should finish the current ICO and announce another one maybe after the fork, with a clear statement before why and when this will happen.

[imtiazmahmood]

now only 13 days left to end soma ICO. project strategy is solid and professional team. i think this is good opportunity.

I had this feeling initially, but the strong presence of the team and the understandable justifications gave me a better view. It is necessary to analyze the scenario that we live and how much ICO will be successful in the return with a better scenario

Im waiting for the announcement.
Its really nice if they can give us some informations regularly, so we can follow and track them and their project.
The community will know how far their progress is and become more knowledgeable about this project.

[Yasemin]

Our Telegram group grew by 400 people,

SOMA said this in their announcement, but that is really not many people. Whenever there is an airdrop with Telegram obligation, the group usually gets around 2000 people.

I also like some of the suggestions made here about an airdrop on SOMA platform, the one you can only use on that platform. Marketing is key.

Yeah , but most of that 2000 people are inactive or even fake users.
Not really effective but worth a try.

If soma team can doing as you said maybe this ico will success reach hard cap. Because communication is necessary in order to can make people will more know about this project and can make them consider to partisipatbs during token sale
