[ANN][GEMZ] GetGems - Social Messaging App That Pays - Live on Android, iOS, Web

[reRaise]

Nice wrap up.

What I think could be a strong asset, is that you get a notification when you receive gems, which could be related to:

- From the airdrop for your activity
- Because someone you invited joined the App
- Someone sent you Gems/Bitcoin

This notification could be just a buzz like if someone was sending you a message, but as soon as you open your wallet it starts 'raining' Gems/Bitcoin from the sky while on the side you see the number of Gems/Bitcoin you received. If you are in the App, this could just happen in the App temporary for a few seconds, afterwards everyting returns to its normal situation.

This is a bit like in Games, when you achieve a certain level or pass a tresshold and you get rewarded with tokens. People will recognize this and like this and I think it will also appeal to girls. In addition, seeing that it is raining Gems that are worth REAL money can be quite addicting.

We definitely agree, sending and receiving money is the "magic moment" in the app - in the last Android update we added “Cha-Ching” money transfer notification and we are working to make a fun visual effect.

Nice one!

Default BTC denomination in bits would have been great though.

I've asked before and got no answer but when is the predicted time for the daily airdrop to start?

I planned to wait to invite friends when it was live so people I invite could see the daily amounts add up which I think is an attractive feature for new users.

That's the most important feature. As soon as that works 100% this can hit 1mil downloads without problem.
Everybody loves to generate some buck from nothing, it's just human nature.

It is for getting new users excited and engaged for sure. Otherwise you have to tell people to wait a month or two which by then a user can completely forget about an app. Even a week or two is too much, new users need to hit the road running in my opinion.

Next developer update will cover this issue.

I know this might look very sexist, but I think you should consider adding a ''color option'' to the skin of the app.
We all know the pink salmon color is more ''feminin'' in the head of most people... so it might affect the popularity of the app vs man or anyone else who does't like the color.

So it might be interesting to be able to choose your color for your GemS and the skin app !

thx

Mostly like Whatapps and I like it
I've used the same handle there and love to connect with all of you guys there!

When I send a referral my friends just get a text that says "Hey, let's switch to GetGems %1$d"  Is anyone else getting this?  What am I doing wrong?  I'm using the new iOS app.

No, it is creating a TXT to send to the contact you selected. You just have to press SEND to send that message to that person so they will get your referal link.

What do you think "LINE" business model?

It would be nice if we could purchase Gems within app, and use it as some kind of token, to buy stickers or GIF images, and also users can create those stickers and sell in the Gems store.

iOS app is out ! Good job guys !!!

Ok, I am in now. Very interesting actually getting an Alt on iOS, pretty much unheard of and only promised. To the moon Daniel!

+1, there is still much improvements and features to be added though.

Can someone tell me,how much coins per message i get?

[the bitcoin cat]

How much longer until funds are fully depleted? How many funds are left for development?

I got a girlfriend of mine on board, noticed a couple issues:

- I have an iPhone and she has an Android, when i sent her my unique url she gets directed to the app store and not google play.

- Then i told her to manually type my username and i got immediately rewarded with Gems which is great, but referrals and Gems earned count shows 0 while it should be referrals 1 and Gems earned 25.

- Everytime she sent me an emoji underneath i see this message.



- For now she loved the gif feature, but she said that it would be better if the gif option was the same as the iOS version where you have more choice and can search for it. Also when posting a gif on android for example 'hi' it first shows the word 'hi' and then the gif, would be better if it removes posting the word part and just shows the gif.

how can i use the gifs on ios? i can't see any options?

Here are a couple of ideas. I have only been testing with the iPhone version.  

How does the iPhone wallet recover from failed transactions?  Orphans. Most qt wallets have a debug console where a standard set of operations like check wallet or repairwallet exist. These functions are essential if the wallet can have orphaned sends.

Does the iPhone wallet list transactions?  It should, but it doesn't appear to. I do not see my deposit transaction. Or spend attempts although the balance reflects the spends.

 Like a crazy man I bought a couple 4000 GEMZ and sent to iPhone wallet and they arrived with no problem, but I tried to send 69 twice to test and in both cases the recipient wallets never received the GEMZ.  Now my total in wallet is not accurate when I look up my addres on explorer.  It does not show withdraw(spends).  How can I correct wallet without debug functions?  How would I export private key so that I can get my 4000 gems off my phone?  

Not sure the wallet portion is ready at all for prime time.  I would caution anybody from moving any volume of coin onto the iPhone. It would appear my investment is stuck on phone for time being.  Anybody else have similar issues?

Also would be great if I could tap through to the block explorer.  

Referral process does not work.

True some others experienced the same where withdrawing from the app caused some issues, but i know the team fixed it for them so i would guess your funds are safe, just pm op. I also would suggest to wait with making on-chain transactions until this bug is fixed.

Referral has some bugs aswell, although i received my Gems reward but the referral and gems earned count shows 0 on iOS (iphone6), also the referral link which i sent to an android user directed her to the app store instead of google play.

In chat tap the paperclip on the left side, find images, second tab shows gifs which you can search for.

Agreed, a big goal met though, positive sign for the long run.
