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

[Netnox]

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

For each invite 25 Gems which works pretty well, i don't think rewards for sending messages, making transactions, contribution score has been implemented yet, would like to know the status of this.

A new version has been uploaded to the App Store for review and approval that fixes a lot of the feedback we received. Thank you everyone for testing and reporting bugs!  We could have delayed the initial release but I believe that with the community help and data analytics from active users the development speed will be much faster.

Anyone that would like to join our Beta Test Group on Android or iOS where we release early versions before we roll out updates please email me at daniel@getgems.org or message my GetGems username peled1986

You really need some testers before submitting updates to app store.

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?

Messenger apps take time and also some decent media coverage to build up a support base. Even the big messenger apps seem to of taken a year or so before they blew up in numbers...it takes time. I'm surprised Bitcoin enthusiasts dismiss the app but maybe so. I noticed recently that NXTTY messenger which I honestly don't think is any good and has none of the motivations that Gems has to join has pushed over 5,000 downloads. My point is the first stage might seem like a slog to get to the first stage of having maybe 10,000-50,000 downloads but things can pick up pace after you get to that stage I think.

Forget Bitcoiners who tend to be dismissive of 'alt coins' and once the airdrop is operational focus on newbies with the simple idea that this messenger app pays you to use it and you can make quite a bit of money, i.e. a couple of hundred dollars (which isn't an exaggeration at this stage I believe). Tell them like its an insider secret from a buddy that released the app to get coins now while there isn't too many users to share the airdrop.  

I don't actually use messenger apps but I wish someone who does would make one of the those top 10 Messenger app videos or top 10 apps period on Youtube.

One thing I wonder about is if newbie users have an easy way to check how the price of Gems/Bitcoin is developing chart wise over time. Maybe it would clutter the app but for most of us I'm sure we spend a lot of time looking at alt coin charts, just knowing the price of something isn't enough, we want to see the chart. maybe this could be linked off the app, even in settings maybe.

IOS referrals bugged? Did a test referral to the wifes phone and did not get anything. showing 0 referals on my app.

i don't even know if this is possible.  i do not own an android so i thought i would find some place i can purchase the coin.  but then the question is, where can i find the wallet to send the coins too?  i would rather have control of it on my computer than have it stored somewhere else.

am i just wishful thinking and it is not worth it to try?

The app is really a front for a perfectly secure wallet and is only reflecting your account, i.e. tokens are not actually stored on your phone. But if you don't want to touch the app at all then you simply (I think) you can just create a counterpart wallet and send your gems or Bitcoin to it.


Maybe do a test or wait till someone confirms this cause I'm not 100% you don't first have to have an app generated wallet but I'm pretty sure you don't. So just make a wallet with counterparty and don't forget your passphrase.

Hi,

I have recently purchased some GEMZ via BITtrex and would like to send them to my mobile (Android) wallet so that they are secure.

I have downloaded the app and set it up. (along with making multiple copies of my passphrase) However, the only way I can see to receive coins on the wallet is via a QR code. Is there a way to convert that QR code to a standard wallet address that I can C&P to BITtrex so I can send those coins to my mobile wallet.

I have iOS but i can remember that it does have a standard wallet address aswell, i think you can copy your address by going to wallet, qr code, receive, then tap to copy. It copies the address.

This should definitely be done, or most innovative messenger(s) of 2015, preferably by a popular youtube channel, but first it needs to be be clean from some bugs which will only screw up app ratings and download counts if people install it while the app has bugs upon installing, referrals and making transactions. This app is setting a new benchmark in the whole industry of such apps and the first to do this in such way, so it's normal that bugs will be on the shoulder of who is doing this the first time. When the app is clean from important bugs than downloads can rise faster aswell.

Cheers. Sent a test of 1K coins to the mobile wallet and they have arrived. Took a while, but will now send the rest.

Thanks again.

Just some quick questions:

I have a keyboard in New Group and New Broadcast List but no keyboard in New Secret Chat and Invite Friends. Is this right?

How do I send a message to someone? Like send a message to peled1986? Can someone post some steps?

Thank you

For secret chat the other person must be online or else you don't see the chat box and it will say "waiting for other person to get online", then you will see the chatterbox if the other person is online, with invite friends there is no keyboard you just select the names you want to invite.

You send messages by just tapping on a username and you can message there.

I tried to search for your id but can't find it, is that the username you signed up with?
