I posted this question 36 hours ago and am waiting for a response from the gems team.  Maybe someone can help me.  Here is the question:

I have the paykey keyboard installed. When I go on Facebook I want to be able to tip my friends, or send them gems on a whim to create awareness for gems, as well as social engagement. When I try to send gems to my friends, I hit the dollar sign, and it brings up a list of contacts in my phone, which really doesn't do me any good, since I am sending the gems on Facebook. Am I doing something wrong or is the technology not there yet? I am guessing Facebook doesn't allow it. Will they ever or is this a permenant limitation. If I could send gems to my friends and post that on their wall or in the comments section, awareness would grow like wildfire. Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question and concerns,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think the answer to the above question was answered by the 43 north judges who talked about facebook ecosystem being a walled garden.  Facebook just plain old does not allow any of their content to be lifted by other apps.  I posed this question on the getgems messenger, i.e trading group, but users on their could care less about gems but instead spend all their energy chasing the next hottest crypto.

So is getgems dead in the water?  I am not trolling.  I want to potentially invest but cannot see past gems potentially serious limitations.  I want to be proved wrong.  Thank you.

Another fact I find unsettling is the number of asset holders has only grown by 200 give or take in the last year and many of them own 2 gems or less. Last year it was 2250 or so, no less....https://blockscan.com/assetinfo/GEMZ

I had the same problem trying to send getgemz through facebook using the getgemz keyboard.

[BlockTrade]

Im still in favor of re-branding GetGemz to KeyCoin, the native currency of PayKey and merging the two apps. It would explode on the markets with just one bank partnership.

Currently the keyboard enables sending gems to users from the phones contacts list. In the future the keyboard will enable to send gems to emails and aliases (similar to aliases users chose on instagram and twitter).

There is already one of the biggest bank of the world involved and theres no need to rebrand as meycoin since gg and paykey will serve similar purpose but both in different worlds. Cryptocurrency for gems and banking transactions for paykey. I think its important to keep these 2 separate.

One thing id be in favor of would be to change the messenger name but thats probably too late by now since we reached 100k registratiin already.

This 100k could easily go up in the next couple of months knowing the team will be participating in the biggest fintech event next month.

There are 100,000+ gems holders. Users earn Gems as registration bonus, daily airdrops, referral bonuses and for viewing advertising channels.
Gems within the app are settled off-chain through the GetGems internal hosted wallet (to allow for speed and zero transaction fees). Blockscan can only track on-chain transactions and balances.

Hi!

Does GetGems already have a team member who is responsible for gamification?

Thanks!

The explosion in GG downloads followed the renaming of the app as “Telegram with Getgems” to exploit app store search rankings.

This is why GG for iOS has a lot more users compared to Android. GG ranks significantly higher in the Apple App Store when searching for “Telegram”.

100k downloads is paraded around as if it’s indicative of the app’s merit beyond being a Telegram clone. But the rise in downloads appears to be entirely the result of this simple SEO trick.

What is troubling is that the recent rise in downloads did not produce a large bump in social media activity.

This is what you’d expect if new users are downloading GG to get on the Telegram network, and have no interest or knowledge of GG’s unique features.

Getting downloads, through any means, is certainly an important step for this project. But the real work is developing GG's promised services and convincing people to use them.

After 15 months, GG's standout features are underwhelming to say the least, and we’ve been told that continued development is now dependent on acquiring more VC money... that’s not even intended for the GG project.

Regularly posting download counts is a distraction to mask the shortcomings of any meaningful work towards building the AE as described in the whitepaper.

Owners of the Telegram network have more to celebrate from our 100k downloads than GG supporters. It'll be the same story when we hit 200k.

That is a great take.   It's interesting to get a point of view I never thought of.  As I understand, Magma has a controlling interest in the company, not the cryptocurrency which is why Daniel seems to be gravitating away from the Gems project, and instead focusing more on Paykey.  Paykey, as they see it will simply be more profitable.  It will work like Visa and Mastercard, siphoning off 0.5% of each transaction and is not exclusive to getgems, the cryptocurrency.

Although this is disappointing for gems holders, I don't necessarily think David and his team are to blame.  The vc's that back getgems probably wanted a better product, something more profitable, whatever.  I am gussing the vc's are putting pressure on the gems team to change directions, because the cryptocurrency is not a moneymaker.  I can't invest.  If things change or getgems provides a service or feature I'm currently not aware of I will.

With that being said though, I'd love to be proved wrong. 

[BlockTrade]

If Magma is pulling the strings as you say, then they would be foolish to not have a toe in the cryptocurrency market. Many large mega banks and global companies are already making huge profits from digital currencies, example, ETH. It's only a matter of time before the whole market erupts. When this happens Magma, or whoever these alleged VC's you claim are pulling the getgem strings, can unleash a powerful marketing/re-branding campaign, and the price of GEMZ will increase exponentially.

Weve been told that development depends on vc investing more money? Find me the exact quote for this because i didnt find it anywhere or that would be you making up stuff on your own.

Do you have a commitment to fund Getgems with PayKey's profits?
The commitment was to work on achieving the milestones. Success of PayKey will help keep the business entity operational and we will be able to continue developing and supporting GetGems.

Are you hiring people to specifically work on PayKey?
If we succeed in raising VC funds, than yes.
