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

[hector3115]

Any updates on download numbers for iOS and android?

The app is an easy sell. People have complained about issues setting up an account, but other than that the messaging works great and people excited about the concept.

Has there been any attempts to get this onto a college canpus.  That's how it seems like these go viral.

i think that the best way is with t-shirts, the gem logo and a slogan like "messaging that pays"

The airdrop is going to be the best time to start inviting a lot of people but also is suspect many newbie users first question will simply be 'What can I buy with them?"

To take Getgems to the next stage there needs to be either an absolute idiot proof way to convert Gems to BTC or fiat (ideally BTC) so users can see the value by buying something or having the 'potential' to buy something. Or/and have somewhere you can actually buy something with Gems even if its limited at first like say an annual subscription for Spotify or Amazon credits etc.

My personal belief is either you can make a nice simple conversion to Bitcoin inside the wallet or Getgems produces a Getgems branded 'conversion site' or webpage thats maybe connected to the existing Getgems site. There you can better set out a simple process for converting to Bitcoin and an explanation of where you can use your Bitcoin etc. Putting it in app unless its done brilliantly could clutter the app or just confuse people. A link to a conversion page 'might' be the more elegant option. Would love to hear what the thoughts of the team are on conversion and usage of gems generally. I wonder if the team is more thinking to use the tokens in app for app related functions mainly like whatever service it hopes to add later. Its early days but a vision for the long term would be nice to hear.


Just off the top of my head I wonder if a tie up with an online music providers would be awesome so you could use tokens inside of the app to pay for a music streaming/downloading site. We would be knocking two birds with one stone, monetisation of music and messaging! Any streaming service could gain in revenue and they can worry about converting to fiat etc, its a win win situation for both plus a hot area at the moment on the internet.

Please am i The only one that's not being paid? It shows that i referred a new person because it's on the list but I'm not getting rewarded

We are upgrading the referral mechanism, the rewards will be sent retroactively. 

Well I like the whole idea, and the messaging part does work. So I'll wait for this...

probably not a true representation of the number of followers, she's following almost as much, a follow for follow account

Small bug on IOS ipad.

When sending bitcoin via qcode the transaction works but I cannot close the Type Amount screen.
I have to close the app and open it again.

Is getgems on github so everyone can add bugs/issues?

Where does community list bugs?

[bluemyst]

Yes we need a bug list ,

You can't earn Bitcoin but obviously the Gems you can earn you can buy Bitcoin with on exchanges like Polinex. At the moment you earn by inviting friends but soon you will receive also from daily airdrops that calculate how much you get on various factors like how many Gems you own and how many people you have invited etc.

Yes we need a bug list ,

If dev is on github there there should be an issues section of the get hub repo.

I love this app!  I have tried talking to friends and family about bitcoin and 90% of them have no idea what im talking about and the other 9% roll their eyes and think its some anarchist libertarian crap.

But this app is an easy sell.  Takes about 5 min of explaining and off they go app downloaded and using it regularly. 

Daniel, if you were to speak at a few universities about this it would be of and running easy.

This is why Getgems is the only altcoin I believe in. If it gets even 1% of those messenger apps user base it would have more users than Bitcoin which would justify a billion dollar market cap and would boost Bitcoin a lot. I wish Bitcoin users would get behind this app more than they seem to do, it's in their best interests.

All getgems needs is some decent viral marketing now to have a shot at being massive. What other messenger app pays its users? Getgems is unique among messenger apps so has a real chance. I really hope getgems has a hot marketing department.

+1

I guess the core community here also have a responsibility to kick start the user base. I'll do what I can once the airdrop starts.
