I know you guys are a hardened cynical bunch but I honestly think this could become the killer app Bitcoin/Alts needs for the masses.

I agree. But skepticism is natural, and it comes with a side benefit: you get extra time to buy more GEMZ if you have the funds.

The first alt (Gemz) related project being easy and incentive enough for the non tech savy users. Something which 99.9% of other Cryptos are failing at.

Here is what is genius about GetGems: It managed to close the loop from getting new users -> earning Gems -> spending it, in one app. What's more genius is that it has managed to do it in such a simplistic way that every non nech savy person at whatever age would understand it. This is the dream of every alt and i haven't seen literally any other alts succeeding in this. And the best part is that its killer feature hasn't been released yet, using this app just makes sense, a big player is stepping in this game.

It's all a fork of telegram and the sad thing was it was a bait and switch (a form of fraud) to get to that too, only after Peled collected everyone's money did he pull the fraud on the cryptocurrency community.  Actually I don't think that fraud really matters much.  People get screwed over everyday in crypto that they simply stopped caring.   :D


You guys pretend like you invented slice beard but there's many alternates with their own mobile clients and soon-to-be mobile apps.  If having a mobile app was proprietary to just Gems then I would had bought it, as would many others and Gems would be #3 be now, but lettuce beef cereal: in about two-three years mobile apps are going to be commonplace on these forums and I don't think Gems will be able to compete with them.  If your developers didn't have the skill to create their own app, and had to fork telegram, then they're probably going to be left behind in the dust when the mobile developers start cranking out professional product with new code.

The adoption model, which is easily gamed by blackhats, is something we have seen on the internet for probably 10-15 years and it hasn't produced noticeable successes.  I think you lose points on social factor / coolness when people find out that other people were paid to recruit them.

This gives me a headache.

The last thing any normal person would want...
Is more complexity in their life, like, let's make buying a cup of coffee some sort of smartphone MLM scheme.

The spreadsheet and browser were killer apps...
So far there has been nothing remotely "killer" about any app related to crypto.

In fact, even Bitcoin itself has proven to be tame and non-disruptive.

If Bitcoin mattered, Windows 8 and 10 would have a slick BTC wallet built-in...
The way IE was bundled with Windows 98... because the new WWW was in fact disruptive.

Name another app that:

Send Btc
Send another crypto (both of which to send all I need to do is send someone a text saying "10 BTC" or "10 Gems") and it arrives has fast has a text.
Group Chat
Private client side encrypted chat which includes the ability to set a time period so the messages are deleted off both devices
Send pics, files, videos and sound clips
Earn Gems for referring other people to the app
Earn Gems for just having Gems in your wallet
Not receiving spam unless the spam sender pays you a fee in Gems which you set

Soon to have:
A shop where you can buy giftcards to major retailers within the app
The ability to rain Gems (wait until you see it)

You do know that the Telegram client side is open source right?

Need to come up with new material TaunSew.

So then what you are saying is that crypto is to complex for the normal person?

These are features I can access for free, without spending money, on telegram itself.  You guys simply forked Telegram, modified a few lines of code and called it innovation and yet what you did is no different from all the worthless $hitcoins copying opensource Bitcoin-QT.  

All this stuff about sending coins on Gems are not valid points because nobody is really using crypto and those who are primarily holding it.  If I need to send coins to somebody I simply ask for their address, not "oh please install Telegram, CounterParty and GEMs in that order" (lmao at this unnecessary complication).  Even if you just say just download Gems only.   I can send coins out to any BTC address before the Gems download and installation is even completed.


This is all just a MLM scheme.  The pay-to-use model is doomed because there will be multiple free mobile apps in the future and people will prefer to use them over a pay-to-use model like Gems which is a fork of a free service.

What Peled pretty much did was take something that can be downloaded for free and is charging for it - "wow much brilliant"

This shows that you have no clue what you are talking about, all you need is the Gems app.

Ok fine so no one needs gems in 2 to 3 years. Meanwhile, we have gems. :P

Earning a few coins appeals to some people. A bitcoin wallet that comes with a few shitcoins you can sell for bitcoins is maybe a little more complicated than getting bitcoins directly but hey for some folks a free satoshi is a free satoshi and something they find fun to get.

Hadn't gotten them to install any other bitcoin wallet because of the predictable "why I want a bitcoin wallet when I dont have and am not about to get any bitcoins?" reaction.

Also, pay to use is for advertisers. Do consumers really prefer free-to-spam models over pay-to-spam models? News to me if so...

Ad Hominems much?

Yeah sure buddy - keep on hustling that paid ripoff of a free service.   :D   I will later be playing the world's smallest violin when the free mobile apps are out.
Bagholders will whine and Peled will walk away with the money he has amassed so far, so I would say the purpose of Gems has met the founder's expectations (cash in and sell out).

Peled in a nutshell.   :D

That didn't take you long.

What reddit account?  I don't have one.  Besides I bought my Redd back in February 2014 when the capitalization was around $200K.

I have a lot of fan members on Bitcointalk but at least most of them actually have a better idea of what's in my current portfolio.   :D   Based on Gems' history, now that's what we call a bagholder.   :o

I moved my entire Bitcoin into Gemz. I actually bought at way higher prices that now, Imhave a confession, I actually was probably responsible for the early spike in price as I was overly anxious to buy cause I thought the price would explode. I have never felt more comfortable with being a 'bag holder' in my whole time owning coins, and I owned a lot of different ones. I actually want the price to stay down cause I can't buy anymore for a couple of months.

Heres one thing I like about Gems, it can't be hyped and it can't be fudded. the success of the app will purely be based on its user base and how viral it can get once everything is in place. my guess with the uniqueness of the app and it's generally intriguing very accessible story it's going to be very very easy to market to mainstream tech news outlets and even the MSM. that time is not now but I believe it will come.

What you guys invested in your alt coins fail to get is that even if there is 1000btc vol on exchanges no one and I mean no one is using those coins and likely ever will. Bitcoin let's face it is the crypto currency that will succeed, the rest are vehicles of fantasy for fools like you to run around forum message boards in sad attempts to hype so you can trade and offload and ultimately buy more Bitcoin. The game is up, the market is rigged, your the bagholder, go get a better hobby.

Uh huh.  I have been zero BTC position since I started crypto in 2013.  Never held BTC for longer than a day.  I only have about 200 fan boys who follow me everywhere on this site, by now one of them would had found my BTC stash if I had one.   ;D  So false on the flawed idea that people only go into alts to acquire more worthless BTC.

I came during the bubble when most bought at $1250 and those are the true bagholders here.  People like me who went 100% into the alternates have unrealized gains.  Bitcoin has been one of the worst performing currency in the world since January 2014, possibly thee worse, even makes the Ukrainian and Russian currency look good.    :o

People have made some money on even the worst scam coins ever made....your point sir?

Yeah Peled is nodding his head right now I bet  ;D

You're really not getting the concept this coin can't be fudded on this forum are you.

So do you think IF the app gets a million downloads (conservative actually for even average chat apps) you the great Fudder of Bitcointalk will be able to affect the price with memes and forum posts?


Let's give you a challenge, try to destroy FB......ok I'll give you 24 hours. I want to see users drop by 50% and the share price the halve. Go TaunSew, go...

Lol wot - the app only has like 1000 downloads ($hitcoins got more installs), nobody wants this shyit.  It's just a rip of free telegram but Peled is charging you money for it, gtfo.   Peled has been cemented as a fraud artist ever since he pulled his bait and switch.      It's a dishonesty what he is doing by a stealing a free service and charging for it.

@nextgencoin

Best you (we) can do is to ignore Taunsew. Believe me, this forum is much more better when he´s in your ignore list!

It seems GetGems is successfully achieving the concept of binding simplicity, recognition and incentive with each other in an app and is awarded as the most visionary social media solution by Citi (http://www.citigroup.com/citi/news/2015/150528a.htm). Eventually the app will have its own ecosystem with the Gems used inside the app having a real world purpose and real value. It will be build around attention economy where users will be able to pay each other for their attention through various advertisement designs, get rewarded in different ways, spend it in different ways, make BTC/Gems transactions and communicate within the app. This all will be done as simple as possible for everyone to understand and one of the main reasons i follow the project.

An interview from yesterday with Daniel Peled explaining GetGems.

http://i61.tinypic.com/2qb5g6q.png (https://soundcloud.com/robert-ross-89/episode-5#t=1:40)

From what i gathered one of these days the beta will be released and after that it will be released for public, can't wait.

Oh yeah, I've "been there and done that" when I was still punting around with penny stocks. It eats at you, eats at you...so you plunge in. And sure enough, the market slumps back - leaving you feeling like a sucker. :) Oh yeah, I remember all too well. ;)

Fact is, you're not a bagholder: you're a permabull. The permabull is a much-sought-after but difficult-to-recognize creature. When the market's hot, he looks like a scammer; when the market's not, he looks like a bagholder. Go figure.

While I'm on the subject, a heavyweight in the gold-exploration field - Jim Puplava - gave this advice for penny stocks: Rather than worry yourself about timing, just buy at market and learn to tolerate large temporary losses. He himself sometimes sat on positions that carried a 50% loss, which he rode with because he was waiting for the big payoff. True, this habit sometimes means being a real bagholder - but in a sense, a bagholder is not unlike a newbie entrepreneur: someone who can get a valuable life lesson from trying and failing. And of course, as Robert Ringer observed, if you don't try at all then your chances of success are about "a hundred to zero." :)

I've made about 4 big moves in crypto. I sold them all at a profit but would of done far better had I sold earlier.

Fiat to Ripple (big rise then it slumped)
Ripple to dark coin (caught early move)
dark coin to Qora IPO (10x increase...I did baghold that one, a great coin. But the developer was an oddball)
Qora to Getgems. (Holding until I become a millionaire)

im not posting this to boast, I held some coins too long, but Gemz I feel different about cause it's tangible, the rest were quality coins for different reasons but they ultimately have no intrinsic value. Plus Every single short term trade I ever made lost me money, it's basically gambling.

GetGems to sponsor 5th Bitcoin startup pitch in Tokyo Japan and Shimo Hiroshi will speak on behalf of GetGems Japan.

'Tis an old story...

He says tipping, making payments, raising money in group chat, this opens so many cool interactions. You could tip a girl in group chat for nude pics ;D or make bets and directly paying others in the group and everyone watching these transactions actually happening without a bank, fee-less, within an instant messenger, we have a winner. I actually like to see some competitors to GetGems, but there isn't any.

I'm in only 3 coins, BTC/LTC/GG. GG is simple to use and easy/ familiar enough for new users to get in and it will offer an extreme innovative model which only can be used if you have Gems, i'm talking about the attention economy. If some non tech savy person wants to use this app, he can do it without asking technical questions. There is a faq inside the app and everything else is self explanatory.

In the beginning i asked Daniel if he had plans to be involved in the media promoting this potential app, he said he would and he has delivered superbly until now. Devs know themselves if this app gets popular they can strike jackpot with the project.

Don't come with baseless comments, lets compare sending money by internet banking vs getgems

Bank: Here i need to type my bank account nr, my debit card number, put my debit card in a device, enter pin code, press the desired number to log in, get a code, insert code and log in. Then when sending money i need to follow some steps aswell.

GetGems: Enter amount in btc/gems/usd/eur tap its symbol, enter pin, done. You will even be able to send money like a million dollar in group chat and at the same time chat with others and send a gif of snoop dogg making it rain on a stripper lol, its amazing.  Same goes for shopping, everything is made easier.


You sound hopeless about bitcoin, open your eyes you will see btc, or its technology is the fcking future. Bitcoin does matter, thats why big companies using it right? and nasdaq will be add it to their platform right, this isn't a new electronic device, we are talking about change the whole money system.
