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

[karmala]

the funny thing is that the sendchat thread of this stupid troll is moderated and this one not. I vote for a moderated thread.

Long History on what ?? are we to believe that you are the saviour for us all? that we can`t spend our own BTC how we choose, we have to run every ICO that we are interested in through you so that you can give us the nod and tell us that it will all be OK if we just listen to you ??

you dont have to believe me anything. I am not intrested in you.
I am only interested in constructive conversations and not in this aggressive spamming of fud from the trolls who hijacked this thread.

What is the plan on getting the public involved. I think Gems is a good tool to bring people into bitcoin and thats why I bought. @Peled1986 can you tell us how you will get the average person into Gems?

There are many messenger apps in the app store. Even paying users is not only enough. Please expand on your marketing strategy for once the app is live.

Let's be honest, paying users is already more then enough.

I think as long as Gems works smoothly they won't have any problem promoting it, this could even make a social media buzz, you can get paid to simply text your friends.

Let's be honest, how much is a typical Gem's user going to earn using the app? Sure, money can incent people, but it has to be quite a bit more than a coffee every month.

People will use the app if 1) It works better or offers more features than what they are using now. and/or 2) There current network of friends is using it, so they use it to stay in the loop with that network.

Now, if they are getting a car payment worth every month, then sure, that's something. But like Amway your talking about a minuscule percentage of people that will have networks big enough to actually earn even at least a living wage.

Sshhh don't go telling people the truth, they don't like it, they'll call you a Troll. Best smile and agree, smile and agree.

At first you said you would sell 17.250xgem/btc for 2 days, then changed to 3 days, I hope you won't do things like this again to let people think you don't care about credit.

We have been very transparent at every stage of the project: being public with our identities, having an unmoderated bitcointalk thread, the AMA on Reddit, podcast interviews, google hangout and more. We want to build a community around Gems and the only way to do that is to be as open and transparent with our users regarding Gems product and Gems short and long term vision.

After speaking with the Koinify team we understood it was wise to extended the earlybird by 24 hours to give a fair opportunity for everyone: https://koinify.com/blog/our-thank-you/

It was extended so that more people could buy up the coins:

Due to the unexpected downtime, we discussed with Gems team and they've graciously offered a 24-hour extension of GEMZ at the most favorable rate. This will make sure that everybody who missed out on purchasing due to technical issues can get another shot. So yes, enjoy another 24 extra happy hours at the 17,250 GEMZ per 1 BTC rate. This will extend 24 hours from 9AM PST, December 3rd, and ride into the price drop at 9AM PST, December 4th.

People get quickly excited about very, very small amounts. Comming from a tipping coin, I made this experience more than once. Nice to see you here Pilot

impressive turnout so far. 1500 accounts open!!  Now if I am not wrong if all 1500 download the app and invite friends to the network then...  I can see this really taking off. The best part is I have heard the large whales are not even involved.

Not bad Gems.

But with my question what other plans do you have to really get the app out there? What type of marketing do you have up your sleeve?

More like 700 actual unique users to be accurate. NXTTY had lot of initial investors too but its hit a wall at around 1000-5000 downloads. The problem is the main selling point that IS an advantage over NXTTY is the airdrops ie people thinking they will get free money, but that wont even be in the app for months.

People I don't want to be a downer but I just want people to be a bit more sober about buying into this coin. If they are asking 3,000 BTC for 50% of the coins then we are looking at a 6,000 BTC valuation straight away, that puts it in the top 20 coins before even 1% increase in price. Unless you see some really big numbers come in for downloads you are going to get a crash and people will lose a lot of money on this coin. Its sadly inevitable.

There may be truth in this. If the app doesn't become popular within a month or two (and there is no reason it should become popular so fast, especially in the first crypto currencies bear market which is to last through October 2015), people might lose hope to get rich quick and start dumping, like it happened with Nxttycoin. There may be even an initial pump and then a dump to a below IPO price. This is a high risk venture, it's true, but all the crypto is high risk venture. Is Bitcoin not high risk venture? Can you point to one example in the crypto space that has a low risk? I can't find a single example. Let the buyer beware, it's the frontier of money evolution.

Guys this is a must watch recent interview with Daniel and Dario, really one of the best Gems related interviews. The explanation on 'attention economy' build around the app is really fascinating and innovative which opens the gateway to do many things. Everyone should listen to it
