I'm trying to recover a wallet and I get the error message that there is no response from the API server (I switched to 4G from WiFi which has a different ISP and got the same result).

The instructions to recover are not so straightforward; it should be made more clear what I am using to restore the wallet as I have both a password and a 12 word passphrase recorded.

I'm not 100% sure I have my username correct so have tried multiple entries but keep getting the API error (my 12 word passphrase works fine via counterwallet)

EDIT: it worked now that I tried the right username, the wrong username should not give such a vague error as no response from API.

Q: Are you going to add invitation link for downloading the Gems app that users can share with their friends with the inviter’s username already prefilled?

A: Yes. This feature will be added soon. It will become more important as we’re approaching the airdrop milestone and we’re aiming to release it before the airdrops. The first version of this feature will rely on the invitee’s phone number. Meaning your username will be pre filled only if you invite by phone number and know the phone number of the friend you’re inviting. In the second version of this feature, you will be able to generate an invitation URL that could be given to people you don’t really know and don’t know their phone number. Once these users install the app via your provided link, they will have your username prefilled as inviter.

I think this feature would be very usefull to improve invitations. I hope it will arrive soon.

Are we not supposed to get coins for promoting it to our friends? I got two friends that registered and both but in my name but i got no coins for it, or do i just remember it wrong and we are not supposed to get any xD

Referrals

Q: Will users who invite friends to the network now be given GEMZ for referrals later?

A: Yes, users who invite friends to the network will be given GEMZ for referrals later. The system currently records every new user’s inviter. This information is saved on our backend, but currently isn’t used yet since airdrops aren’t yet operational. Nevertheless, this information is recorded. Since every new user can have a one and only inviter which is only set once, every new user that you will invite, will record you as the inviter for all future calculations. This means it’s a good idea to get a head start and start inviting friends, because all of their activity will be attributed to you as soon as airdrops start.

Q: Where should I hold my GEMZ in order to influence my Airdrop reward score?

A: Currently, the natural place to hold your GEMZ is in the wallet created when you initially create your account. The system will examine the contents of this wallet for airdrop calculations.

We are aware though that users with large amounts of GEMZ will probably not want to hold all of their GEMZ in this wallet for security purposes. In order to accommodate these users, we plan to add a feature that allows connecting other wallet addresses to your username in order to influence airdrop calculations. Each existing address would be able to be connected to a single GetGems username, so only a single account will be able to receive credit for the contents of this wallet. These wallet addresses will not be used when sending/receiving GEMZ, only for airdrop calculations. We are also thinking of other possible methods to achieve this in the most efficient and user friendly way.

Q: How are you going to reward original crowdsale buyers for uninvited users?  If I sell my pre-sale coins will I lost this perk? How does the system know who is a pre-sale buyer?

A: Selling your original GEMZ will not change your original crowdsale buyer status. The original crowdsale buyers perk system will be calculated based on the original participation at the time of the pre-sale end which were recorded on blockscan. Original crowdsale buyers  will be rewarded relatively to their original number of coins that they’ve purchases during the pre-sale. The GEMZ reward will be sent to the original Koinify addresses.

You will once the airdrop period begins. No clue when that is going to happen, though.

Keep up the good work team.

A shitty competitor, SendChat, has been falsely hyping their planned pump and dump, and faking transaction volume.

I don't think Gems community lacks the confidence to need to attack other projects but damn if that chat is legit I would say Sendchat has sunk itself permanently.

I downloaded the app but I have no contacts  Angry

How do I search for contacts?
Feel free to add me. I'm ezetler

I think for now you can't add contact that you haven't their phone number (correct me if i'm wrong), although why don't you add contacts that are in your phones contact list? Soon you will be able to send them a link with your username prefilled in the registry section which earns you gemz.

Error message :" No response returned from API server. Are you connected to the internte?"
Yes i am connected to the internet and no the passphrase is not wrong because that gives you "invalid passphrase".

We will need more information in order to help, please fill your bug report: http://[Suspicious link removed]/708P60

Did that^^
Couldn't fill in any gemz adress as i don't have access to my wallet xD

Thank you, sent you an email.
[If you know your passphrase you can access you wallet using https://counterwallet.io/]

I know its a difficult thing and it can make people disappointed if deadlines are not met but I personally would appreciate a really rough estimate of timeline of getting the iPhone, airdrops and other major developments but particularly these two. I guess with Counterparty causing unknown influence due to them updating versions etc its even more difficult but still a very rough ETA would be great.

Developer update will be posted during the weekend.

It does seem that GetGems is down right now as I am unable to see my wallet and others are reporting the same thing here and on reddit. Wonder what is up?
They're on it.    https://twitter.com/getgemsorg/status/560833882765807616
This is pure conjecture but i'm not surprised the Android app is a bit buggy cause the focus before the Telegram tie-up was always on the iOS and Android would come months later. They must of pulled some all-nighters to push the Android out so quickly. The team have tons of money and real professional guidance and backing now to hopefully produce a highly polished app over the coming weeks/months.

The problem with the stability issues is that we are currently using counterparty API directly.
This is a bad solution, as we depend on their stability (which isn't very good as they change the code very often without backward compatibility).

We are setting up our own federated counterparty node to make sure that protocol changes don't break our mechanisms with proper testing->staging->production cycle and automated deployments (CI). We apologise that it's taking a big longer than expected but its the best long term solution.
That took quite long and you could think about it sooner already.
Any ETA on this so i can fine register again.

Its fixed now. After a lot of testing we found that the problem wasn't in our code but an SSL certificate problem with counterparty servers.
