Over 25 million GEMZ sold! Nice work marketing team!
Peled and the team you have run a very solid campaign. I hope this means your team will be as efficient getting the app to the masses! You had a lot of money betting against you could not break 1500. I would expect to see some of that capital coming into the sale now.
We have come a long way and today's announcement of breaking the 1500 btc goal is a major milestone. We could not have done it without all of you.  coinbrief: "Currently Social Media is anything but our’s. There is a saying “if a product is free you are the product” and this is now the case with Social Media": http://coinbrief.net/gems-bringing-crypto-to-everyone/Impressed on how things are going so far, the app is revolutionary enough to be successful. It all comes down to marketing, the Gems team has done pretty well and i hope apart from community support they get themselves some tight connections (which seems they have the ability), partnerships and aiming to get mainstream coverage. This concept is very consumer friendly so it's easier to promote and understand for the common person
Good news will be coming out today! Looking forward to it There was a prediction whether Gems would reach 1500 btc https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/bitcoin/altcoins/ |

Hopefully there are more new appealing features coming with it. It has the simplicity the common person is used to, with innovative features added. Just the idea of transferring value like Bitcoin and Gemz as easy as sending a message without having to deal with long addresses is on it's own pretty cool, but it's much more then that. The whole attention based economy makes it even better where the user is put in centre of the ecosystem. An example: Spam is a major issue with any communications platform (consider email and spam) since senders of bulk amounts of unsolicited messages are able to do so without incurring a cost, causing users to hide their address in order to protect themselves. Having to pay with GEMZ for unsolicited messages solves this problem at the core while opening very fun and interesting possibilities.
we are building a social network based on attention economy. If someone wants your attention they need to pay you directly. (With LinkedIn you pay the company to send unsolicited messages to users. In Tinder you can’t send unsolicited messages to girls you like even if you wanted to. In Instagram you can’t get the celebrities attention because their hashtag is being “spammed”. In Gems you will be able to do all these things if you pay the right price in GEMZ. The cost to send such an unsolicited message is dependent on the relative popularity of the recipient using a bidding system commonly employed by Google. |

Guys this is a must watch recent podcast with Daniel of Gems and Dario of Koinify. The explanation on 'attention economy' build around the app is really fascinating and innovative which opens the gateway to do many things. Everyone should listen to it. Podcast http://shoutengine.com/BitcoinNewsWeekly/dollars-to-bitcoins-banks-hate-bitcoin-the-gold-5231I would like to point out that it is the very first app build on top of Bitcoin powered by CP allowing Bitcoin to be used in the app. They are fixed, Counterparty assets, so there is no pre-mine, there's no pre-mine in CP. The app is primarily based around attention economy which has pretty cool features, it is very easy to use and very similar to Whatsapp which everyone is familiar with. Both Bitcoin and Gemz have the same addresses and their own wallet. You send Bitcoin the receiver gets Bitcoin, you send Gemz and the receiver get Gemz. It's a token directly competing with social networks. It is primarily aimed to the younger generation, teens and especially females which are ruling the social networking traffic but are missed in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Gem means a precious stone, in this case the Gems brand is imo more attractive to this target group. From my experience most of them still don't know what Bitcoin is or don't really bother to use it. Gems It's like a bait to attract this target group to Bitcoin. Apart from that it's hard to get it's business model done with just Bitcoin. Ultimately Bitcoin is making decentralised banking, Openbazaar is making decentralised online market place, Storj is making cloud storage decentralised, Gems is making social messaging decentralised. It will succeed with community support and especially marketing, not just inside the crypto community but outside of it aswell.  |

Get into projects who's dev are visible and active in the public eye, they attend meetings, give interviews, visit conventions and have decent connections in the industry. This shows they are confident about their product with the goal to succeed.
If they have funds it should be stored in multi sig with a reputable company who does this like Koinify because they choose to cooperate only with projects who they seem to be promising and will actually sit around the table and investigate what you have to offer before accepting to work with you, through them the devs get paid on milestone vesting, paid per development. This keep the incentive much higher. These are positive indicators to invest and if succeeds the return is much higher than the average project. Gems is a good example

Hoe weten we dat dit geen oplichterij is? Vind het een beetje raar, al ziet het er wel leuk uit  Dat vroeg ik me ook af, maar het blijkt dat de kapitaal die ze hebben in multi sig wordt opgeslagen met koinify en onder andere de co-founder van counterparty heeft er ook zicht op waar de gems devs op basis van geleverde werk uitbetaalt krijgen, dus ze beschikken zelf niet over de funds wat toch netjes uitziet allemaal. Ze claimen zelf dat ze met gems op de jongere generatie met name de dames richten om ze in in de bitcoin ecosysteem te krijgen. Ik heb in ieder geval wat van gekocht, je weet maar nooit. |

dus met de app kan je naast GEMS ook gewoon BTC verzenden? Mooi initiatief, maar dan zie ik niet echt een toekomst voor die GEMS (ik kan natuurlijk enorm fout zitten  ) Bitcoin is ook mogelijk, het heeft eigenlijk veel meer te bieden naast een messenger zoals het belonen van de gebruiker met gemz op verschillende manieren, een uitgebreid enonomische model omtrent adverteren wordt gebouwd en toch even simpel gehouden als whatsapp. |

Please just answer my question.... i'm not part of the Gems team to know details, read my comment before you post |

Ok but enough about cool magazines. What marketing are you guys going to use and can we even send pictures and videos?!
enough? being featured in well known magazines means a lot. Looking at your post history and quote below how you blindly start to cheer for sendchat right of the bat without any investigating make me think you might be a sock puppet account or shilling. I'm not part of the Gems team btw, but adding pictures and videos is no big of a deal, any dev can add that. If your priority is to send pics then you might just use whatsapp. Wow!!! I can't wait for this one! How can you get sold so easily, red flag |

Would be nice to see Gems in technology magazines mentioned like Wired, TechCrunch or others  |

However, by the simple fact that the platform uses a new token rather than Bitcoin, it becomes less desirable to the end users Nice article, regarding the quote above i would like to point out that Bitcoin is also available in the app. Both Bitcoin and Gemz have the same addresses and their own wallet. You send Bitcoin the receiver gets Bitcoin, you send Gemz you receive Gemz. On the end users, Gemz are primarily aimed to the younger generation, teens and especially females which are ruling the social networking traffic but are missed in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Gem means a precious stone, in this case the Gems brand is imo more attractive to this target group. Most of them don't know what Bitcoin is or don't really bother to use it. Gems It's like a bait to attract this target group to Bitcoin through Gems. Actually i tested this out on a friend of mine, i showed her Glyph and Gems, she choose for Gems because she liked it more and could relate it more to Whatsapp after i told her the 2 are similar. Apart from that it's hard to get it's business model done with just Bitcoin. Ultimately Bitcoin is making decentralised banking, Openbazaar is making decentralised online market place, Storj is making cloud storage decentralised, Gems is making social messaging decentralised. It will succeed with community support and especially marketing, not just inside the crypto community but outside of it aswell. |

https://koinify.com/#/project/GEMZ: The proceeds from the token sale will be primarily used for continuing the development of the network infrastructure, paying for servers, paying for bandwidth, the cloud hosting infrastructure and for the development of a set of mobile apps for all leading mobile platforms. 70% Developer Compensation and Ops 20% Marketing & Community Outreach 10% Legal Contingency Fund ALSO: 8% of what? the-thing that they are Developing and Programming ? Yeah, I'm agree to give them more if they do their best to provide a high quality product! 50% pre-buyers 8% Developers Sounds fair, building world hottest startups requires some funds. The more funds they have the bigger things can be reached, but it's not just kapital power, being present and active in the marketing scene is also important. In Gems case it should focus especially on promotion outside the crypto community, Ofcourse getting starting within the crypto scene is a good plan |
