I just found the Embermine project today and I've been trying to get up to speed and understand everything. I've read the WP and scanned through much of the Telegram Embermine Updates, Steemit....etc. I'm still somewhat confused on a few areas:

1. MBRS are the Base tokens that are used for PoS to secure the Blockchain & provide access to the Embermine Platform for users. New UserID sign-up only requires 1 MBRS to open an account.

- Are there any other use cases for MBRS beyond PoS & Acct registration?

2. This is where I get really confused. The WP lists HEAT & SPARKS as the Transactional Tokens on the platform. HEAT can not be purchased but only earned through consistent community participation in the Embermine platform. Then in Telegram I read that the names have been changed from HEAT to SPARKS, & SPARKS to ION. Also there is TBD release dates for ION & SPARKS.

- Are SPARKS & ION being released to MBRS holders sometime in the future (TBD)?
   - Will users still acquire SPARKS through their community participation on the platform?
   - Once the platform is operational, how will people acquire ION (the token of value used to conduct Embermine transactions including purchases of digital goods, smart contracts &
   other applications).
   - It appears to me that the main token of value will be ION and not MBRS? What is going to drive demand/value for the MBRS token?

3. Approach to the Mass Market and how to grow the Embermine user base. From the WP it states: "with our payment capture technology, revenues that occur on other market places, such Amazon, Google Play, or iTunes can be intercepted and processed by the Project Compact within Embermine, we can bring some of the novel functionality to Users' products in existing marketplaces."

- What exactly does this mean? How do you/will you intercept these revenue streams?

   - I actually found this Steemit article while researching and I'm curious if her explanation about the MBRS Revenue Sharing mechanics is accurate?

https://steemit.com/embermine/@coincravings/why-putting-usd100-in-embermine-coins-today-will-set-you-up-for-life

4. My final point is an observation rather than a question. After doing my research, I can see that Embermine has a unique and disruptive business model and my gut tells me that this is something worth exploring/investing in. The team is also to be commended on all their hard work thus far. I've been in crypto for only 1.5 years and I am the first to admit that I am not technically inclined (I'm an investor), but these were my initial thoughts when I reached the Embermien website:

- There's not really any information on the website that tells me what the project does. What problem is Embermine solving?
   - After reading the WP, I didn't gain a lot of clarity. There's many moving parts to the project. Will the average person take the time to try and understand all these moving parts (ION, SPARKS, MBRS)? Might be helpful to refine the message/information on the website to grab potential 'drive-by' users/investors.
   - If the Revenue model from the Steemit article IS accurate, then that's the kind of information that you need to have front and centre throughout all your media avenues
   (Website; BTCT; Twitter....etc) . That's a significant and strong selling point for people to want to obtain MBRS!!!

Sorry for my lonnnng post but as I said, my gut tells me that Embermine is a solid project and I want to be invested. Just gotta do my DD first. Thanks!

Hey JWH
I fully understand that there are a few open questions about the whole Project.
Please be a few more days patient.
James Drake and the Team behind Embermine is working hard this days, because they will go to the https://mergeshow.com/ in Orlando Florida from 14.-18.10.

The Merge will bring public attention to Embermine and the Concept will be explained to the mass.
Embermine is one sponsor of the Merge and there will be a lot of marketing done for all Embermine Tokens like TOV, IDEA, DOM and of course MBRS.

The next coming airdrop for MBRS holders is after the https://auton.io/ ICO has finished.
All Holders will get for every 10 MBRS > 1 NIO, so if you have 100 MBRS you will get 10 NIO.

Then on the 15th Oct will be a snapshot of all TOV http://www.tokenverse.com/ done and all TOV Holders will get 2 KNOW for every 1 TOV.

Here is the last update from the CEO James Drake out of the Telegram Channel.

James Drake, [10.10.17 08:44]

HI, I've looked through the thread but can't see how to join the airdrop is there any further into. Thanks.

In order to obtain KNOW for the airdrop you actually have to hold TOV in an acceptable ERC20 Wallet (Myetherwallet, Parity) before the snapshot on October 15th. TOV trades on Etherdelta. Ratio is 2:1 KNOW:TOV

Not sure if there are any more airdrops planned for MBRS holders? The Dev's said, "Other airdrops using MBRS as the rail may arise, but they will not be facilitated by the Embermine team."

Sure, that is the whole concept behind Embermine.

In the future there will be constantly new airdrops from the new projects which are build on the platform.

Quote from Embermine Update Channel https://t.me/embermine_updates

Here's a use case. On Embermine, Projects will produce various goods or services. Our focus has been on digital goods from the beginning (although branching into the physical realm is not impossible, it does increase the complexity quite a bit because of the the difficulties with distribution, manufacturing, etc.). In the same way that holders of MBRS have been receiving other crypto-assets like TOV, IDEA, or DOM, Projects can issue tokens for accessing certain goods and services. For example, a writer can distribute a token that grants access to her new book. This distribution can focus on holders of specific tokens or issue to ALL MBRS holders. Naturally, if you are a part of the network, you will accumulate a lot of excess assets. You could then input the settings on an AI trading bot that can then sell select assets on an open market, based on certain parameters you set (as in Autonio). This potentially results in global passive income for everyone on the Embermine network. The Algosharing allows people to trade and share tried and true strategies, algorithms, for achieving optimal results in the markets. And that only touches upon the synergy between the two. Hope that helps

Embermine is a sleeping giant and i love this concept and the community realy.

If anybody has more questions, please come to our Telegram Channel https://t.me/embermine

Happy trading ...
