Agreed, with the addition of the airdrop and iOS the app will pretty much be set for legit introduction, for this the inviting by link with your username pre filled should be implemented.

Thanks Daniel.

Not sure to believe this or not, seems like some desperate money hungry chinese bitches trying to overreact again because it's not the first time they have tried to cause panic, hope its untrue because the gox drama really damaged bitcoin price.

They are considering it, it's the web/desktop wallet https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=758004.msg10386141#msg10386141

Q: Are you planning to have a desktop client?

A: We are considering a desktop/web client. We have not yet decided though on the exact security policy that will be enforced on desktop since desktop apps are naturally less secure than mobile apps (a mobile phone is always in your pocket and can be immediately identified using an SMS). There’s a good chance we will require users to confirm their identity via SMS every time they start a new session. In addition, there’s good chance we will decide that passphrases will not be encrypted locally using a PIN in a desktop app, and instead will have to be typed every time the user wants to send BTC/GEMZ.


I believe there is also a Counterwallet going to be available for desktop which is compatible with gemz.

Q: Any plans to create a Windows Phone version?

A: It’s all a matter of numbers and market share. Windows Phone actually declined in market share in 2014. It dropped from about 3.3% to below 3%. Until Windows Phone has a market share of 5%-10%, it will not become a priority in the project. The current app priority list is as follows: (1) Android, (2) iOS, (3) Web/desktop, (4) Windows Phone. Even after our team completes all milestones, we will probably find it more beneficial for the project to invest in improving Android+iOS rather than add a platform with such a small market share.

lol bitcoins 3 billion market cap is pocket money to them, it will get more interesting if bitcoin reaches a couple hundred billion market cap.

Q: Will users who invite friends to the network now be given GEMZ for referrals later?

A: Yes, users who invite friends to the network will be given GEMZ for referrals later. The system currently records every new user’s inviter. This information is saved on our backend, but currently isn’t used yet since airdrops aren’t yet operational. Nevertheless, this information is recorded. Since every new user can have a one and only inviter which is only set once, every new user that you will invite, will record you as the inviter for all future calculations. This means it’s a good idea to get a head start and start inviting friends, because all of their activity will be attributed to you as soon as airdrops start.

Q: Are you going to add invitation link for downloading the Gems app that users can share with their friends with the inviter’s username already prefilled?

A: Yes. This feature will be added soon. It will become more important as we’re approaching the airdrop milestone and we’re aiming to release it before the airdrops. The first version of this feature will rely on the invitee’s phone number. Meaning your username will be pre filled only if you invite by phone number and know the phone number of the friend you’re inviting. In the second version of this feature, you will be able to generate an invitation URL that could be given to people you don’t really know and don’t know their phone number. Once these users install the app via your provided link, they will have your username prefilled as inviter.

Q: Where should I hold my GEMZ in order to influence my Airdrop reward score?

A: Currently, the natural place to hold your GEMZ is in the wallet created when you initially create your account. The system will examine the contents of this wallet for airdrop calculations.

We are aware though that users with large amounts of GEMZ will probably not want to hold all of their GEMZ in this wallet for security purposes. In order to accommodate these users, we plan to add a feature that allows connecting other wallet addresses to your username in order to influence airdrop calculations. Each existing address would be able to be connected to a single GetGems username, so only a single account will be able to receive credit for the contents of this wallet. These wallet addresses will not be used when sending/receiving GEMZ, only for airdrop calculations. We are also thinking of other possible methods to achieve this in the most efficient and user friendly way.

Q: How are you going to reward original crowdsale buyers for uninvited users?  If I sell my pre-sale coins will I lost this perk? How does the system know who is a pre-sale buyer?

A: Selling your original GEMZ will not change your original crowdsale buyer status. The original crowdsale buyers perk system will be calculated based on the original participation at the time of the pre-sale end which were recorded on blockscan. Original crowdsale buyers  will be rewarded relatively to their original number of coins that they’ve purchases during the pre-sale. The GEMZ reward will be sent to the original Koinify addresses.

Maybe Satoshi is another species with much higher intelligence trying to change the way we do finance since they are realizing how outdated and fucked up our global finance is operating.

I hope so it means the stockmarket bubble will pop and bitcoin will skyrocket.

I think for now you can't add contact that you haven't their phone number (correct me if i'm wrong), although why don't you add contacts that are in your phones contact list? Soon you will be able to send them a link with your username prefilled in the registry section which earns you gemz.

Waiting for iOS release.

Their Twitter: We are aware of the registration problem within the App and working to fix it and to increase future stability: http://goo.gl/fnqx30

Met je eens, kan niet meer wachten. zal sowieso pronken ermee voor vrienden ipv de gebruikelijk whatsapp, ze laten afvragen wat het is.

No if they leave the whole confidence of this whole EU concept will decrease taking the euro price with it, pvv atm the leading political party vote wise for elections in the Netherlands wants to get out of the EU if they get elected.

From my experience when bitcoin rises btc/alt goes down but alt/usd goes up. When bitcoin goes down btc/alt is more stable and alt/usd goes down. Usually whenever bitcoin rises or falls btc/alt most of the time goes down aswell, times when btc/alt goes up is just pure related to developments within that particular alt.

Until the block halving Bitcoins ecosystem has risen a lot, same goes for the user adoption and exchanges like ETF's where industrial money gets involved, these alone can make bitcoin prices rise tremendously and after the halving it would go up even more i guess a couple k's wouldn't be unreasonable.

Loved it, although i didn't get the part where 1 hour on that planet was 7 years on earth. Had something to do with relativity. Also how did they get to the past to make that 3d time space inside a 5th dimension. I mean is that even possible to travel through time like he did?

Imo the app should really start promoting downloads outside the crypto space when atleast the iOS and airdrop are released. Since the article talks about Getgems reward value model users might get confused why they didn't receive gemz.

GetGems start up van de week.

Does the off chain which makes zero fees also count for bitcoin transactions?
