GetGems Development Update #20

50,000 Users, Early Buyer Bonus and the Attention Economy
 

[Nick70001]

Nice update. Congrats on 50,000 users

[Kuriko]

Pump incoming, or not? lol let's see how the market reacts

[dannyman]

Nice update, would of liked individual downloads for iOS but whatever, we seem to be heading toward a tipping point where the next kind of numbers we could see are 100,000, 500,000 though.  The exciting news in the coming months seems positive. i would love to know if they are working on or planning an in app purchase of gems service?

People should understand that they can get a lot of Gems if they invite in users that will stay active. If not, the early buyers will get the grant. To make it clear — if an Early Buyer user invited active users, he will be granted for the active users he invited and for the active users without inviter.

As an early buyer this is awesome.

With over 50,000 signups on iOS, Android and now the web version of GetGems, the Attention Economy is preparing to take off. Watch for announcements.

Great stats, AE will be the catalyst for further user growth.


@Dannyman, buying Gems from the app must be made possible or else the AE wont be open to the mainstream users.

Getgems app would need exclusive products or something that will make people want to purchase trough the app. Or the product within the app purchasable with gems are useless.

Why does money need an exclusive product? Gems is a currency, value is based on the scarcity of that currency. With Gems you already can buy almost anything on Amazon. later as things develop I expect some retailers to accept gems if they already accept btc and litecoin, simply due to the numbers. I would argue that the app does need a conversion ability to fiat or BTC. With BTC people can more easily see they can spend it. Don't forget this app is to encourage the use of BTC and the attention economy not to use fiat systems.

I still think the update would of been good if iOS and breakdown of downloads would show how well the iOS is picking up users.

Thanks for the update.

I see there are quite allot of differences between the Android App and iPhone App, would be good to align those closer together over time.

Hey I have a questionnaire. So from what I understand, the air drop is live, and there is suppose to be a button in the ap so that you can collect.  I am using a samsung s3 and my version is the latest version.  I invested a significant amount in the ipo, so I think I should be getting something.  What's the deal? Why don't I see that button? Thanks!

I have an iphone, but from what i can remember from android is in order to get the airdrop button, you need to unlock it first by tapping on the right 'card' which says i believe like fb/twitter. After you done that you will see the airdrop card which you need to collect yourself by tapping on it, airdrops are granted 1 time per day.

I just read this tweet. It looks like the backend server software "Telegram", which GetGemz uses, is not secure.

Maybe GEMZ should switch to a more open source private messaging software.

Telegram are very open about what its security is. They have always said they store in the cloud messages encrypted with encryption keys. This is so people can access from multiple platforms their conversations. Secret chat is where you have end to end encryption and no ability for third parties to access your convos.

Thanks I didnt realize I had to like on facebook, post on twitter, and some other nonsense to unlock the airdrop.  Now I see the airdrop button when I click on  it, it requires me to invite friends.  The hoops that you aren't even told about that you have to jump through, a bit silly.

[dannyman]

I assume liking Twitter and FB to unlock the airdrop is a bug, that needs to be gotten rid of if not.

[glavos]

No it's not a bug. You guys need to do some simple task to get rewarded. With more effort more rewards

Your point is valid, we noticed this aswell and submitted it to the devs, it will be fixed in the next version.

I still haven't been given a single gem in the airdrop. Is that normal? Thanks!

You will get a lot of Gems if you invite in users that will stay active. I believe the airdrop amount depends on users you invite (who sign in the app and use it) and your activity, i thought also the amount of Gems u hold in your account but im not sure about it. Until now airdrop has been tested with a small amount based on participation and referrals, the full airdrop based on the 27,500 per day has not started yet but will once they have implemented the early buyers allocation. The more users join the network the smaller the shares become, just like Bitcoins rise in difficulty.

So i would say invite another person(s) and use the app more often. For the latter send me your username and i'll add you to our groups which is very active with frequently tipping.
