@ Vrezor, GetGems is the name of the app and GEMZ are the token names, can't get easier.

Q Why was the name changed from Gems to GetGems?

A: The name of the app was changed from Gems to GetGems due to three reasons:
1. The domain name is getgems.org - and a domain is important for branding. Adding the full domain name to the app name makes it easier to locate in the app stores.
2. The word “Gems” by itself is too popular and isn’t indicative enough. When users searched for the word “Gems” in the app stores, they received too many irrelevant search results (mostly games involving gems) and had a hard time finding the correct app. Changing the branding slightly to something more unique guarantees that the correct app will be returned in the first search results.
3. GetGems adds more information about the product.

Actually I understood it as the company and the app is called GetGems ie 'you get gems' so the tokens are still called Gems but the exchange ticker/code whatever you want to call it is GEMZ just like say Bitcoin is BTC or Litecoin is LTC.

The assets is called GEMZ (https://blockscan.com/assetInfo/GEMZ)
With XGEM as Daniel's emergency fund (https://blockscan.com/assetInfo/XGEM)

Agree that a little bit more thought could have gone into the names, maybe picked in a bit of a rush with it being removed from the play store right after android launch. Might be a little late to change it again but indeed it should be made clear in all communication that the app is called GetGems with GEMZ as its native asset. Right now everything is being used at random.

Update: Seems I spoke to soon.. and the GetGems team has been explaining this before - http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/gems-update-token-name-explained-sending-gemz-transaction-requests-more  Though I don't understand why they didn't completely change it to gemz or xgem at that point in time.
Yeah, exactly.
I'd also like them to update the website with the new name as I see no point in using just Gems then.

Yep should be updated.

Would like to know how far they are in setting up their own cluster of XCP nodes, having a stable app is important.

Hi Gliss,

Gems was updated to GetGems a while ago, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=758004.msg10187297#msg10187297

Should be changed on Coinmarketcap.

Thanks

The bright side is that all these poorly managed incompetent exchanges get washed away. There really need to be a stronger regulation on exchanges, then i bet 80% of these exchanges wouldn't pass the test.

isis doesn't give a shit about any good deeds, its just a pure satanic organisation fuelled by saudi arabia (usa ally) recruiting brainwashed fools in western countries, as an excuse they use religion.

Also its ironic they're called isis which is a specialty of freemasonic art.

My last four attempts in the last two days to withdraw gems from polienex ended with an COMPLETE: ERROR status.....  Anybody else have the same problem?



On the subject of exchanges we are down to one major one now with BTER not likely to be up and running anytime soon. I personally we need at least another major exchange. Going along with that the bigger picture is we need to get rid of centralised exchanges completely and have a user friendly way to buy Gems.

bter is exactly the reason why I want to withdraw my gems from polienex Wink We still have the counterparty DEX and should use that one for idiological reasons.
I have some gemz on poloniex and some at Koinify, for now the centralised exchanges are the most popular. Although i would like to have the option to store my them on my desktop.

Surely your GEMZ Counterparty wallet is the safest?
I wouldn't keep anything on Polinex I wouldn't be willing to lose.

For long term storage and safe keeping of your GEMZ you have the Armory Cold Storage option : http://support.counterparty.io/support/solutions/articles/5000004858-cold-storage-of-counterparty-assets-btc-using-armory - Counterwallet also has the multi-signature option which would be more convenient if you ask me but like I said before, right now I have 10.000 GEMZ stuck in one of those multi-sig addresses and no way of getting them out. Once I do I'll write up a how to and how not to store your GEMZ ;-) This is as close as you can get to "Desktop" your GEMZ are always online, just your keys don't have to be.  



Good one, don't forget that Wink Will look into armory cold storage, any idea how hard it is to set up in comparison to just using the counterwallet?

Aren't counterparty and koinify both web wallet making it the same, or is counterparty web wallet more secure?


I think Koinofy is a Counterparty wallet, but ai still wouldn't have it sat there, it was only really designed as a temp wallet but that's a personal thing. I would be more concerned about Ploinex. nearly all the big exvhages have been hacked now, they are very very risky at this point.

Holding assets at exchanges is not a good idea indd, bter is pretty much done, atleast some shitcoins have bite the dust along with bter aswell. I've made a couterwallet, will transfer gemz to it soon. I think its one of the best alternative for now until the gemz/counterparty desktop wallet is out.

If it really was a cold wallet then it probably was an inside job, also i think the person who finds 7000+ btc would rather keep it instead of exchanging it for 720 btc. Maybe they offered this reward on purpose to prevent doubts from people thinking bter was behind it, i could be wrong but one thing im sure is that trust with bter is mush less now and people won't be using them anymore, i think Bter is done.

Aangezien we steeds meer plaatsen buiten NL zien die langzaam tolerant tegenover wiet worden zou NL ze weer een stap voor zijn als coffeeshops Bitcoin accepteren, ik denk dat het wereldwijd nieuws wordt en er heel veel mensen Bitcoin gaan gebruiken. Ik enk de eerste die Bitcoins aanneemt zal er echt van profiteren.
Ik denk sowieso wel dat NL voorloopt qua acceptatie van Bitcoin. Kijk alleen al naar Arnhem als bitcoinstad. Het zou natuurlijk een mooie stap zijn als coffeeshops Bitcoins accepteren, maar ik zie toch liever dat Bitcoins worden geaccepteerd bij bijv. supermarkten.

Wiet wordt toch nog vaak geassocieerd aan het criminele circuit in het buitenland waar het nog niet legaal of gedoogd is. Hierdoor komt Bitcoin mijn inzien alleen bij MSM in kwaad daglicht.. Wink

Dan zou je kunnen zeggen dat je pinpasje waarmee je wiet koopt ook in kwaad daglicht zou moeten. bitcoin is slechts een betaal systeem, wat je ermee koopt zegt niets over bitcoin. Ik denk dat het in dit geval toch wel anders is, wiet verkoop in coffeeshops in nl is toegestaan door de overheid, als ze bitcoins accepteren dan betekent het dat de overheid het ook goedkeurt en een regering heeft een veel hogere status van vertrouwen voor de media dan de normale burgers. Stel dat alle coffeeshops in amsterdam bitcoins zouden aannemen, dan zou het echt losbarsten.

2598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why GOD will not punish and could even forgive Mark karpeles! on: February 13, 2015, 08:36:42 PM
who is God?!

no really, in 2015 i cannot read this retarded crap, especially on a looking forward tech forum...

In the Beginning, there is The Infinite One. This is the Source of All. Intelligent Infinity. It is the undifferentiated absolute. Within It, is unlimited potential, waiting to 'become'. Think of it as the "uncarved block" of your Taoist traditions.

Infinite Intelligence, becoming 'aware' of Itself, seeks to experience Itself, and The One Infinite Creator is 'born', or 'manifest' (This appears to your 3rd Density comprehension as "Space"). In effect, the 'Creator', is a point of focused Infinite Consciousness or awareness, into Infinite Intelligent Energy. The One Infinite Creator also becoming self aware, seeks too to experience Itself as Creator, and in so doing, begins the next step down in the Creational spiral. The One Infinite Creator, in focusing It's Infinite Intelligence, becomes Intelligent Energy (which you could call the Great Central Sun), and divides Itself into smaller portions of Itself, that can then in turn experience themselves as Creators (or Central Suns). In other words, each Central Sun (or Creator) is a 'step down' in Conscious awareness (or distortion) from the Original 'thought' of Creation. So "In the beginning" was not "The Word", but Thought. The Word, is thought expressed and made manifest as Creator.

There is Unity. Unity is All there is. Infinite Intelligence, and Infinite Energy. The two are One, and within them, is the potental for all Creation. This state of Consciousness could be termed as 'Being'.

Infinite Intelligence does not recognize it's 'potential'. It is the undifferentiated absolute. But Infinite Energy recognizes the potential of 'becoming' all things, in order to bring any desired experience into 'being'.

Intelligent Infinity can be likened to the central 'Heartbeat' of Life, and Infinite Energy as the Spiritual 'Life-blood' (or potential) which 'pumps out' for the Creator to form the Creation.

This image may assist your comprehension:



Creation is based upon the 'Three Primary Distortions of The Infinite One'.

1). Free Will:

In the first Law (or distortion) of Creation, the Creator receives the Free Will to know and experience Itself as an individuated though (paradoxically) unified aspect of The One.

2). Love:

In the second Law of Creation, the initial distortion of Free Will, becomes a focus point of awareness known as Logos, or 'Love' (or The Word in biblical terms). Love, or Logos, using It's Infinite Intelligent Energy, then takes on the role of co-creating a vast array of physical illusions ('thought forms') or Densities (which some call Dimensions) in which according to It's Intelligent design, will best offer the range of 'potential' experiences in which It can know Itself.

In effect, the One Infinite Creator, in dividing Itself into Logos, could be termed in your 3rd Density understanding as a 'Universal Creator'. In other words, Logos, creates on a Universal level of Being. Logos creates physical Universes, in which It and the Creator may experience theirself.

("Let there be Light")

3). Light:

To manifest this Infinite spiritual or 'Life-Force' Energy into a physical thought form of Densities, Logos creates the third distortion, of Light. From the three original Primary distortions of The One into making the Creation, arise myriad hierarchies of other sub-distortions, containing their own specific paradoxes. The goal of the Game is to enter into these in further divions of Creation, and then seek to harmonize the Polarities, in order to once again know Oneself as the Creator of them.

The nature of all such physically manifest Energy, is Light. Wherever thus exists any form of physical 'matter', there is Light, or Divine Intelligent Energy at it's Core or Centre.

Something which is Infinite cannot be 'other than', or 'many', An Infinite Creator knows only Unity. Thus, drawing upon It's Infinite Intelligence, the Infinite Creator designed a blueprint based on the finite principles of Free Will of Awareness and sub-level Creations, which in turn, could become aware of themselves, and seek to experience themselves as Creators. And so the "Russian Doll" style experiment was 'stepped down' and down and down. Levels of Creation within levels of Creation.

The One Infinite Creator (or Great Central Sun) steps down It's Infinite Energy to become Logos. Logos in turn designs vast Universes of Space (as yet unmaterialized), stepping down and splitting Itself again, into Logoi (plural), in other words, into an array of Central Suns which will each become a Logos (or 'co-creator') of It's own Universe, with each unique individualized portion of the One Infinite Creator, containing within It as It's very essence, Intelligent Infinity.

Using the Law of Free Will, each Universal Logos (Central Sun) designs and creates It's own version or perspective of 'physical reality' in which to experience Itself as Creator. Stepping down again, It focuses It's Intelligent Energy and creates the unmanifest form of Galaxies within Itself, and splits Itself into yet further 'co-creator' portions ('Sub-Logos' or Suns) which in turn will then design and manifest their own ideas of physical reality in the form of points of Conscious Awareness that we call Suns Stars and Planets.

A 'planetary entity' (or 'Soul') begins the first Density of experience, into which another individualized portion of The One can incarnate. Just as with all Logos and Sub Logos of Creation, each Soul is yet another smaller unique portion of The Infinite One. At first, the Intelligent Energy of the planet is in a state that you could call 'chaos', meaning that It's Energy is undefined. Then the process begins again. The planetary Energy begins to become aware of Itself (the 1st Density of awareness is 'Consciousness'), and the Planetary Logos (sub-sub-Logos in effect) begins to create other downward steps within Itself, and the internal make up of the planet begins to form; as the raw elements of air and fire combine to 'work on' the Waters and Earth, thus arising conscious awareness of their 'being', and the process of 'evolution' begins, forming the 2nd Density.

2nd Density beings begin to become aware of themselves, as being 'separate', and thus begin to evolve toward the 3rd Density of self-conscious-awareness, (the lowest Density into which a 'human soul' can incarnate).

Humans in turn (or the Souls incarnated within them), seek to 'return to the Light' and Love, from which they came, as they begin the journey of progression, from 3rd Density up to the 8th Density, and the return to The Infinite One-ness.

Explanation of the Densities beyond 'normal' human consciousness is another question though, so if you wish to know more about them, someone will need to ask an intelligent question which I can respond to, so as not to impinge upon your Free Will not to know.

For many people marijuana=crime. Places where marijuana is legal are very rare. So I would be very cautious in connecting these two things. For average Joe who does not have clue about bitcoin it would be very easy to connect shady substances with illegal sources of money etc. What can lead to bad press for bitcoin...

In the Netherlands buying marijuana is like buying food at Mcdonalds. If one of them accepts bitcoin it would be worldwide news.
