We have been waiting for those answers for 1.5 years... Some of the coval community members took the matters in their own hands and put all the pieces of information together.
1. What MBTS is , and what is the planned usage?
It is going to be a main token for Emblem.
2. Why it was necessary to introduce different token, while there was Coval already? Couldn't Coval be used for the same purpose?
It basically was emblem ICO. Obviously coval couldn't be used for the same purpose.
3. How many MBTS is issued (or will be issued)?
https://etherscan.io/token/0xadd9617d081c3d9755f09abd876a0d43b987da0a4. Will it be tradeable asset? I read in AMA it wouldn't, but in that case how it will be issued and exchanged?
5. Was MBTS given to some Coval holders in exchange for their Coval? How many users got it, and how many units were distributed?
Over a year ago it has been swapped at 3.5:1 rate. Right now rate could be much higher.
6. Is it possible to get MBTS now, if yes - then how to do that, and why to get them (this comes to the first question - the planned usage)?
It is not possible.
7. Why those announcements were not done publicly, in a public open forum like this? This could have prevented lots of scam accusation both now (like the ones I see from some members in this thread), and in the future, when/if project gets traction. Do you remember discussions around Steem, and other projects which did not announce the opportunities openly enough? Would be nice to avoid such scenario with more careful and open planning and announcements.
They don't care about it and won't answer your questions. They did not announce it because they were afraid of being accused by SEC of running an ICO.
