i think a lot of us prefer poloniex, maybe you can use both options, poloniex pays more per gem, there's a 1000 satoshis of difference, i think that in high quantities is a lot

Agreed, adding this feature using Shapeshift is something we are looking into.

"The ShapeShift API gives developers a multitude of ways to integrate our instant altcoin exchange services into wallets, websites and much more. For those developers looking for an partner/commission opportunity, Shapeshift now offers our affiliate program. Below, you may sign-up for affiliate order-tracking keys so that ShapeShift can track volume associated with your API calls."

It seems possible, i think this feature combined into a mobile app like GetGems will be pretty handy. I'm not coder aswell but would be nice if the team looks into it. Also i noticed Erik voorhees is Shapeshifts CEO, he joined one of the GetGems groups a while ago in the app.

It doesn't necessarily have to be Shapeshift but such platform is an example of what i mean buy easy coin conversion instead of people doing the hassle of making accounts on exchanges on different websites. I think this idea would attract many people inside the Crypto place aswell since majority of them just wants Bitcoin as an exit which GetGems would provide in a easy way in a simple app, this would mean that these people would need to use GetGems more often and be pretty active to earn Gems through rewards which is in it's favour of GetGems and of course there are others that would swap Bitcoin to Gems to advertise and other useful stuff.

Surely just knowing the shape shift site exists for now? I mean a simple link to the shape shift page would in theory make everything user friendly. It would be good to include it in the app (though might clutter it) but that seems like a feature for further down the line once we get other things in place?




I don't understand coding, but does this show shape shift is open source? Their whole website seems to suggest they want others to integrate their system on your wallet/site etc.

I think this would be a useful feature would like to know aswell about the possibilities.

I think the speed of Gems for on chain transactions is like bitcoins speed and within the app they are instant.

How long does it take to receive gemz on the iOS app? I bought some on shapeshift using receive gems function on the app. its been like 30 mins..

Well done!

Now this is what i'm talking about when i mention introducing this app outside the Crypto community, as you see for those who are not familiar with this wonderful technology this app is pretty amazing. Just saw their website and it seems pretty big http://www.citimobilechallenge.com/index.php

They haven't even seen the main feature of this app yet. A good start for this app and hopefully this is the beginning of a bright feature of GetGems and also more partnerships and recognition like these.

“We are excited to be a part of the next phase in the Citi Mobile Challenge and look forward to continuing our development with the financial sector leadership of Citi.” said GetGems CEO.

Nice to see this kind of progress.

On a side note i actually like the Gems logo on that banner, well done GetGems.

Quite a powerful endorsement.

@ Daniel, do you think it's possible to add a feature like Shapeshift into GetGems where users can swap Gems to Bitcoin and Bitcoin to Gems? Maybe in cooperation with shapeshift themselves? I think this would be a powerful feature. You can swap Bitcoin to Gems for buying ads and Gems to Bitcoin for other needs.

I think the "send" icon then should be the bitcoin then, not a $... so you know which currency/coin you are sending.

No shit, because the app is not ready yet. Its attention economy where many look forward to including bitcoiners is not ready yet. You want to have a working polished product before marketing it.

if this app wasn't exciting then other projects wouldn't follow getGems path, from CoinDesk:


but the thing is that getGems is the very first that came up with the idea and we know how important it is in being the first to innovate here.

Have you ever seen a crypto project that delivered on time ? Don't tell me you are surprised..  Just look at this as an opportunity to buy cheap..

I followed this coin from the beginning. Gems has not delivered. The plan was first to have both iOS and Android on their own software by June this year at latest. They switched to Telegram which means they didn't do any programming and still we are coming to June and still no real product. I think the truth is the advertising platform and airdrop is months and months away now. I think this coin has lost momentum, it won't do well. I am glad I sold my coins. They had half a million dollars to adapt a clone chat interface and didn't do it for nearly a year. Thats is a fail.

Have you seen a business spending money on advertisement if they cannot earn anything from it ?   The project is still in alpha/beta (no airdrop yet ..)

Just wait for the full release..

No buy, no sell, very bad marketing.

The difficult stuff in the app is not done. Easy to make a chat app and wallet, my sister can do that, everything else has problems and is too late. No one needs to fud this coin because the price already is so low.

whats your point fudder? The app (android and ios) is out and its working... improvements on the way.

I thought you might do better with everyones million dollars in Bitcoin. Can't release an app?
