The app IS the keyboard judges.
Im still a bit confused on how it works though. They were talking about linking the app to your bank account. How is this related to gems and if i send money to my friend on whatsapp, does he get a link to download the app or receive the funds in some other way
"the question is will gems the currency be part of this wider project?"
^this
They will enable gems to be used on all social media platforms through paykey keyboard, basically everywhere which involves text and the advertising can be done straight from the keyboard on all social platforms, and the gamification and incentive token is Gems. So you can advertise globaly on every social media and you need Gems for that. Where did you get this insight if I may ask? It's what i understood from it.  |

anyone got a link to paykey....I'm getting different things and I don't know which one is the paykey being mentioned. Is it a paypal type transaction?
PayKey is a concept the GetGems team is working on, I don't think its a reality yet. It would be integrated in a custom keyboard (the paykey button) for android and ios allowing for both crypto and fiat transactions across all social media. Here a link where its explained : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBvSJzxoq7k&feature=youtu.beDaniel: PayKey is the first payment solution that works inside closed networks, networks that dont have any public api or an sdk. Judge: But for these companies to allow you to do that and use their open api becomes the friction point because if you get anything meaningful of scale it's not going to be in facebooks advantage for that to be the case, well you need them. Daniel repeating again: Because we use keyboard we dont need any api or sdk or any permission from the social networks themselves, they cant block it, in this way we can leverage the socialgraph for other businesses and thats how we bootstrap their costumers. Judge again at the end: If you going to china how are you ever going to confince wechat to allow you in? cus if you have an answer for that.. (counldn't hear the rest) Daniel probably be like, how many times to i have to repeat to these dumb judges lol: They can't block it. So seems the judges couldn't get this at all that this concept will work on social networks that don't have a api, sdk, would the judges understand this permissionless innovation gg would get nr1 price. I think getgems plan is one of the biggest innovations in the crypto, they are backed by some powerful banks, but not only fiat they are going to bring bitcoin AND gems to all social networks. |

What getgems is doing is amazing, obviously the judges couldn't really grasp the concept, i wonder if they would knew what the blockchain was and they asked stupid questions which already were answered during the presentation. But the money is just one side and lets be honest 250k is great.
They will enable for fiat, bitcoin and gems to be used on all social media platforms, whatsapp, snapchat, instagram, facebook, reddit, basically everywhere which involves text, this all will be done through the keyboard, so if you type iphone 6s they can show you an ad to buy it for example and the gamification and incentive token is Gems. So you can advertise globaly on every social media and you need Gems for that which is just freaking genius.
In the end getgems could of won 1m and while any help and connects will help, its always will be down to downloads and usage....almost nothing else actually matters. And as a positive to that i have been following on appanie getgems and its seems to be steadily moving up (though volatile) up the ranking charts. I don't know if this is based on pure downloads but its above many apps that have million plus downloads so while we are early days we are moving in the right direction. Would love to have some more regular info on iOS downloads. we are currently at #341 for US social media apps. https://www.appannie.com/apps/ios/top/united-states/social-networking/?device=iphoneSeems it went up 90 spots, nice. On a sidenote, getgems earned another big story on the r/bitcoin frontpage with enabling bitcoin to be used on every social media platform, right now this is only possble on Telegram, also the team has partnered with some major banks on providing service regarding fiat transactions. |

Have the Gemz team been on yet ? edit. they are on now. paykey seems to be their pitch. no mention of getgems ?? watching now, shame I missed it. How did they do? I'm guessing it will be hosted somewhere at some point? not good imo. judges were aholes though Daniel nailed the questions, the asshole judge actually admitted that the concept is really smart. For the female judge she really sucked pretty much about text messaging question where she said this text messaging is so 5 years ago and Daniel came very strong on the answer to the point where the female judge said go ahead and answer the question of the other judge lol. Daniel did a good job imo and meant business, the judges where harsh on every contender. But what getgems has been working on is mindblowing guy. It seems they have partnered with couple of major banks and will be introducing paykey which will be available on all major social media platforms, even thos close sourced like whatsapp, snapchat, instagram etc. this is amazing. In the demo you can see them making a transaction in whatsapp and getgems as a url was seen aswell. But i don't think the judges really grasped this amazing technology. |

I believe that's for a 10k prize for the team to win, voting doesn't have influence on the judges decision. |

Should be tomorrow. |

Impressive! Google Play store is a completely different story for me, it's way down the list when searching for "Telegram".
Yeah I don't really get it cause i was using google play downloads as a gauge for how well getgems was doing. And to think so much trouble was made to get the Android version going to the point we dropped using the original code iOS version. People will have different opinions but I hope at a later point we separate ourselves from Telegram...if that's possible I dunno. Our vision for payments within social networks is definitely bigger than just with Telegram. Sweet. And I do see the benefits of being tagged into the Telegram open source project for users. And when you see simple clones of Telegram like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegramkr.messenger&hl=enget real traction then I don't see why it has to hold back. I guess I want the uniqueness of Getgems to be appreciated, I mean Telegram itself is quite a standard app, good but no major innovation...its what you guys have made of it that's so interesting. Just don't want anyone saying oh that's just some Telegram clone. I feel refreshed and fully onboard again Daniel now I see the download situation is more positive than I thought, its all about downloads IMO, but I still cant put the app on my crappy S2.....so never joined testing ;( I'll buy a new phone or use my wife's I guess when the airdrop starts. Airdrop is in beta right now and being tested. |

Superb achievement! Check this out guys, a list of the finalists and if you click on the companies you'll see a small Q&A between 43north and the company, in this case getgems. http://www.43north.org/finalists |

Android/Playstore apparently has a feature called experiments that allows you to test different headline variations, so you can test various options and see who clicks what. I'm sure they will try different headline versions to see what makes people bite the most.
Russell Brand already promoted the competition, but maybe he might like this project too. But if you can get 20-40 twitter users who have as many followers as Brand to tweet about this, then it serves the same purpose. It would be great to have more communication from the devs.. I see a lot of good ideas on the forum, but no one here to cheer people on/provide feedback. I understand Daniel is very busy developing the app, but perhaps when the time is right, it would be nice to have a community liaison/PR/social media expert who is revving up the crowd and coordinating marketing efforts here and within the app itself.
On another note, a friend is trying to setup his Bitcoin wallet on GetGems for iPhone, but when it asks for a passphrase, it just says "Next" and he can't submit it. He doesn't remember setting it up before, and if he did, doesn't remember his passphrase. Even if he did, it looks like he can't submit. So perhaps there might be an option to destroy the old wallet and start over, or even setup multiple wallets. In addition, the Android version of GetGems has a UX oversight when singing up: I saw two people get confused on the screen where it asks for name. They kept clicking next, cycling between the two fields without realizing they needed to click the checkmark on the upper right. I had to tell them both to do this.
Experimenting with title is a good idea, i agree with testing the title Telegram with GetGems - Messaging that pays, but not right now it's better to wait for the airdrop atleast, same goes for pushing the marketing. I just setup my bitcoin wallet on my iphone and it said 'recover wallet' once i pressed that it brought me to the image below where you can insert your passphrase and after that you tap on recover passphrase on the upper side. But i obviously set up my wallet before so it must be different than doing it the first time.  EDIT i just found something very handy which i din't know before if i wanted to recover my wallet with passphrase. Before i had to type the words manually and i thought if you lose your passphrase you are screwed. So found out in the image above there is 'recover from keychain' and when you tap on that it will autofill your passphrase, maybe everyone here knew that already but thought i might share it. Hey thanks for the response. I took a look at his phone, and he goes Setup Bitcoin Wallet-->Recover Wallet-->Recovery Phrase It asks for his recovery phrase, which he does not have, but I guess this will be fixed in the new version. Then I looked at my phone, and realized I don't have an option to Setup Bitcoin Wallet. I have Passphrase Recovery, but that's it. We are both running 1.2.2, both on iOS. Also, what does the dice button do? It simply gives a code +gif, which I assume is a command of some sort to be followed by something else, but not sure what. Are you sure he didn't set up bitcoin wallet before? Can you pm me your username i will add you to the iOS beta testers group, this way you can post it directly to the iOS dev. A new beta is out which fixes some bugs, you can get access to it and see if it's fixed for you, but i would have to add you to the group first. I don't have the option setup bitcoin wallet aswell and only have passphrase recovery, but that is because i already setup my bitcoin wallet, have you set it up already? check your wallet if you can swipe for bitcoin wallet. The dice chooses a randpom gif which is unexpected so pretty funny. You tap on the dice sympol with a word you want as a gif, this way you dont have to manually search for a gif. |

Why i can't send coins to exchange? I try 5 times, 1 success and 4 fails. Try to send to Polo 3 times, 1 success. Bittrex and shapeshift.io all fails. Coins not in exchange but my wallet coins gone  and check in block explorer no transaction. Anyone else get the same problem like me? firstly, GEMZ or BTC? secondly, how long have you waited after you sent? it usually takes about 1-3hrs. thirdly, explain in steps exactly how you had sent your coins? Was it by QR Code or Address Code? 1. I sent GEMZ 2. Few days and last try 6 hours ago 3. Copy Wallet Address from market (Poloniex, Bittrex, Shapeshift) to QR code generator website to make a qr code; From my phone I choose Wallet > Send Gems > Scan qr code > Input amount > Confirm Thanks for providing those answers. Had it been successful, after 1-3 hours, the transaction should show in the block explorer and GEMZ should have showed up in the exchange. i can confirm this for Poloniex and Bittrex as i myself have done it a week ago. But i used the Address Code. not the QR Code. i have not tried the QR Code method. So i wouldn't be able to assist much with regards to your situation. Since it has already been a few days for your 1st try and 6++ hours for your 2nd try, and your GEMZ are no longer in your wallet and it didn't show up in the above 3 exchanges, PM " peled1986". Thanks for your answer but my GEMZ gone, now they still not yet come later I will contact peled1986 Talks of disrupting the banking system and users are having really hard times simply sending coins to exchanges. 1-3 hours is an insane amount of time to wait, if i send IOC for example, its an average of 5 mins. You guys really need to sort this issue out, also to get any sort of attention in the banking sector, which i will add, the banking sector is extremely unlikely to take any cryptocoin, it will simply make their own, knowing that the code is 100% safe and secure, they are not going to risk people's money with unknown developers and such. Will keep a eye on things. GG recently did a presentation infront of a major bank at a tech convention where one of the devs had his bankaccount connected with the GG app and made an instant USD transaction through social media. There is a video of that but not sure if i can post it, but i was blown away, definitly unseen in the crypto space. WOH  you serious!? that alone sounds like "The makings of a killer app" or the 1st step to becoming a killer app. Yes it was a great presentation, i'm exited to hear more. |
