I took part in the crowdsale. Now I have some gems in my koinify wallet, but zero gems in the getgems app wallet.
As I understand my airdrop share depends mainly upon:
1- how many users I have invited so far
2- the amount of gems already owned by me (my gems wallet - as displayed in the app)
How do I make sure that I get some credit (for buying those gems during the crowdsale) when airdrops take place ?
Do I have to send my gems from my koinify wallet to my gems address? (the one attached to my phone number?) Or is there some other way to notify the system?
If you want to receive credit on gems owned you need to send the gems to the application, since i am pretty sure it gets calculated from the gems app account.
That's my guess as well. I understand I will be able to send them from my koinify wallet once crowdsale is over? Shouldn't they put it somewhere clearly explained in the app or on the website? Am I the only one worried to get as many gems as possible and not miss anything?
You will be able to withdraw on the 10th, they did recently made a community update on this. Also follow

https://koinify.com/blog/community-catch-up-1215-withdrawl-2fa-development-update/Thanks!! What about the airdrop share? Having my tokens on my app is enough to get as many gems as I am entitled to?
Can I find somewhere the algorithm used for airdrop share calculation?
Here is what i found.
The Invitation System—Determining Who To RewardThe first part of the model is based on the invitation system. When each new Gems account is created, the new user is asked to confirm which user invited him into the network.
This process is easy because the inviter’s username is usually prefilled, since it comes attached to the invitation link for downloading the Gems app that users can share with their friends. A new user can override the invitation credit and give it to any user he wants. (See the section on presale perks to find out what happens when the new user gives no invitation credit.)
From this point on, the system remembers the original inviter for every user in the network, and every user has an original inviter. This is a key point of the model.
Counting Active UsersThe next part of the model involves determining the number of active users. Since airdrops occur every day, we only consider active users during the previous twenty-four hours.
An “active user” in a given a twenty-four-hour period is defined as one who has used the Gems app in that time period and who has performed several social activities within it (such as sending an instant message, trading gems, and so on). A user is marked as either “active” or “not active.” There is no regard to the actual amount of activity. It is important to note that this part of the algorithm is a probable target of attempted fraud. The algorithm employs various techniques to filter fraudulent users and avoid “activity spam.” (See the section about avoiding fraudulent activity and spam.)
After the system determines the daily list of active users, the algorithm checks for their original inviter, and then counts the total number of active users per original inviter.
For example, let’s assume user A invited users A1, A2 and A3, and user B invited users B1, B2 and B3. During the twenty-four-hour period, users A1, A2 and B3 were determined to be active. After counting the totals, user A has a count of 2 active users and user B has a count of 1.
Factoring It All In—The Contribution ScoreThe final part of the model involves calculating a contribution score for every user in the network. The number of gems in the airdrop is divided between users according to their contribution score.
For example, user A has a contribution score of 20 and user B has a contribution score of 5. If we had 100 gems in the airdrop, user A would receive 80 gems and user B would receive 20 gems.
The contribution score for a user is calculated according to two complementary factors:
The total number of new, active users that the user invited during the time period. This calculation is directly related to the active-user counts (total of active users per original inviter).
The total number of gems that the user currently holds in his account. This means that users with large amount of gems will be rewarded more generously than users without gems.
Uninvited users are attributed to random presale participantsThe detailed description of the daily airdrop outlines the invitation system. Every user in the network is attributed to an original inviter (the user who originally brought them into the network). Daily airdrop contributions are proportional to the number of active new users that a user has invited. This means that the more users you invite, the more gems you will receive during an airdrop.
The invitation system works by asking new users to confirm the username of their inviter when they initially create their Gems account. Many new users will arrive without invitation. If a new user learns about Gems from our official website getgems.org and then downloads the app, no original inviter will be connected with the creation of the new account.
New users who do not indicate an original inviter will automatically be assigned a random presale participant as their original inviter. This means that Gems will attribute new users to the accounts of presale participants without them having to actually invite them. This is a substantial perk, since these attributions will continue even after the end of the presale.
Please note that the randomized process of choosing a presale participant is proportional to the original purchase amount. This means that a presale participant who purchases twice as many gems as another will receive twice as many random new-user attributions.
Daily airdrop contributions are proportional to the total amount of gems heldIf you recall the specifics of the daily airdrop algorithm, the second influencing factor to the contribution score is the total number of gems a user currently holds in his account.
It is important to note that gems are intended to be used solely as an in-app cryptographic token. They are tokens representing a credit for app features and in no way, shape or form should be considered a speculative or financial vehicle. Users should not purchase gems other than with the intention to use them internally with the Gems application.
