Hi, Over the last few days, I've been testing on already hard-core Bitcoin people as well as never-had bitcoin newbies here in Tokyo. I've thought of following:- (iOS market share is the highest in the world here in Japan at around 60% of smart phone.) 1. I realized it is incredibly hard to get hard-core Bitcoin people to install this app. --Reaction:- oh I have no more memory, I have enough IM apps, etc. I think GetGems is not techie enough and too pinkish for geeks? 2. I realized if I want to sprinkle some first bitcoins on a cute newbie girl, I will get her message ID automatically. And she can ask me questions via GetGems Message. 3. Can GEMS project team reward the users if they report bugs by sending some GEMZ? Eg. Create crash report button? And, if this model works, would GetGems be useful for Bitcoin exchanges to for bug reporting, customer support and perhaps, sending announcements? (even before advertising platform is completed.) What do you guys think?

How about influencing http://ask.fm/ to use GETGEMZ? People can ask specific questions to the specialists with small amount of GEMZ attached. In this case, we will probably need web-based service. And the potential problem is there is incentive for the people but not so much for ask.fm. What do you people think?

Quote from: Nxtblg on January 14, 2015, 01:08:34 AM Quote from: tokyosilver on January 14, 2015, 12:45:13 AM Wouldn't there be conflict of interest between GEMZ holders and Magma in future? How so? Magma gets an ownership stake in the Getgems company, which will get revenue from a cut of the advertisisng on the Gems network. At least presumably, the company won't pull in a lot of revenue unless GEMZ are bought by advertisers to advertise on the network. Advertisers have to buy GEMZ to advertise anything on the network. What possible conflict of interest do you see? For example, from GEMZ holders point of view, would'nt we want to see multiple advertising platforms to compete each other, not only advertising platform but also any future platforms like music, video distribution, etc, no? GEMS was supposed to be open sourced and decentralized, right? I know the future is not crystal clear but don't we want to know that the latest business model GEMS proposed to Magma?

I presume Magma VC's investment of 400K into GEMS was being negotiated before and it was intentionally announced a few days before ICO closure to boost the final sales. What is the business model GEMS proposed to Magma VC? Why didn't Magma buy GEMZ coins instead of equity shares in GEMS project? Wouldn't there be conflict of interest between GEMZ holders and Magma in future?

Thanks! https://vimeo.com/114420746 Thanks. Yeah, we actually helped GEMS team for the translation. I guess I am kind of acting like an international liaison here for the voluntary GEMS Japan team. I let you know what we are doing and also ask you guys for opinions. Cheers from Tokyo. Our FB group is here for your info:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/861484563892391/

Maybe I should do something like this for GEMS in Japanese. Tokyo GEMS News! (This was filmed in Jan 2014) http://youtu.be/Z_jUCC1v09k

Is this bullish for GEMS? "Thailand’s Government Claims It Can Monitor The Country’s 30M Line Users" http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/23/thailand-line-monitoring-claim/ For your info, LINE's overall user base is very small (170 million Monthly Active Users (MAU)) but they have top market share in Japan,Taiwan and Thailand.
