Topic: [ANN][GEMZ] GetGems - Social Messaging App That Pays - Live on Android, iOS, Web - page 236. (Read 597190 times)

Ok but enough about cool magazines. What marketing are you guys going to use and can we even send pictures and videos?!

Would be nice to see Gems in technology magazines mentioned like Wired, TechCrunch or others

I think these guys are far more prepared for this type of market. If you compare the both anyway

From home? Click here? Before attempting to troll it wouldn't hurt to actually understand the concept behind the project

I agree that paying users is enough. I would like to hear more about the marketing plan. I think referrals will work perfect for this but there also needs a catalyst. Are you hiring a professional PR firm?

I am thinking about buying a lot more in the next 5 hours before the rate jumps and was hoping to get an answer quickly.

My Aunt makes 2.4677 GEMS a week from home. You can too.click here.

Yes this is gonna be big.lol

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.

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.

This is so true. People don't realize how fast money goes. $1 million for a development team and full marketing team is necessary to make this a success. If they dont hit 1500 bitcoin I would be worried. I think it would have been better if they had raised 10000 bitcoin for investors as well.

I hope I win 

Oh and good luck being the next Whatstheapp. Competition much? And I bet the guys coding these apps didn't get a million dollars just for creating their apps. Lol. Ironically this app runs on the idea that the profit goes to the users. The reality is compared to 95% of messenger apps GEMS is highly slanted in favour of the developer to make money.

That's some very big claims for a basic app. They said the same stuff on NXTTY thread until reality set in. What's great about this kind of coin is we can see how many downloads it gets so we can judge black or white if this app is a success. And as making the next big thing in messegong is almost impossible in such a saturated market I look forward to saying I told you so.

This is how ICO's work these days. People buy up early at the cheaper price then when it comes to go on an exchange they can afford to dump at the later prices and still make a good 40%. Guaranteed profit, later buyers even think they are getting a good deal cause it's the same price as the later ICO prices. everyones happy especially the developers.

It's also important to note that btc and gems serve different target audiences within the Gems ecosystem. btc is aimed towards users with crypto background, who probably already own BTC and are familiar with it. These users will enjoy a convenient method to send btc to their contacts (ie. without typing addresses). Gems is aimed towards the common user who doesn’t have a crypto currency background. Since gems are rewarded for network contribution, these users will own gems just from operating within the network.

We are sure that once mainstream users do their first "crypto transaction" they will understand what all of us are talking about. Fiat is "dumb money" compered to bitcoin blockchain technology.

Nice article, regarding the quote above i would like to point out that Bitcoin is also available in the app. Both Bitcoin and Gemz have the same addresses and their own wallet. You send Bitcoin the receiver gets Bitcoin, you send Gemz you receive Gemz.

On the end users, Gemz are primarily aimed to the younger generation, teens and especially females which are ruling the social networking traffic but are missed in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Gem means a precious stone, in this case the Gems brand is imo more attractive to this target group. Most of them don't know what Bitcoin is or don't really bother to use it. Gems It's like a bait to attract this target group to Bitcoin through Gems. Actually i tested this out on a friend of mine, i showed her Glyph and Gems, she choose for Gems because she liked it more and could relate it more to Whatsapp after i told her the 2 are similar. Apart from that it's hard to get it's business model done with just Bitcoin.

Ultimately Bitcoin is making decentralised banking, Openbazaar is making decentralised online market place, Storj is making cloud storage decentralised, Gems is making social messaging decentralised. It will succeed with community support and especially marketing, not just inside the crypto community but outside of it aswell.

link? it's good they are reacting, the point is they found gems worthy and seeing the potential to comment on it, good or bad doesn't matter, it means it's raising attention

Is that not the same thing they said about Ethereum?

I hope so, just i asked because I did not find anything about functionality of multimedia messaging in Whitepaper
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a129pSWTDWKWt945Un7NyTxTKPiVq5MjGFLs8mIuZug/edit?pli=1

should be, it's supposed to work like Whatsapp.

is there option to share photo and video by gems app?

I tried with a different sandboxed browser and got no block. Now tried again on firefox and it works smoothly.
I have the suspect my pc is infected by some malware/virus, so it could be just me.
Do you still want me to email the details?

That's us, weird it's showing it like that to you although. Would you mind emailing [email protected] with some details (browser, anti-virus, screen shot, etc) -- we need to contact your anti-virus company and have them whitelist our IP then.
