Topic: [ANN][GEMZ] GetGems - Social Messaging App That Pays - Live on Android, iOS, Web - page 241. (Read 597190 times)

I know it's not done to promote another coin, but nevertheless I wanna thank you for pointing me out to that project. 

Better you leave when you don't understand what is difference between high quality product and a junky app.

While you boast others will post. bye bye...

Ok I'm going to be an asshole now and say Send chat looks a lot more professional and has the right spirit behind it, way more than Gems. Plus its built on Telegram, video messenging, photo sharing etc etc.

Done. Thanks for the reminder!

don't you think it is time to change [PRE-ANN] into [ANN] ?

There are two main concerns with a centralized system.

The first concern is anonymity and privacy of Gems users. Centralized systems are more prone to be monitored by external entities - for example, a government agency with a warrant for access to our servers. This concern is actually not specific to centralized systems and a good security policy assumes that all traffic is always being monitored by external entities - even if the network is completely decentralized.

The Gems network operates under this assumption. Secure messages via Gems are encrypted client-client. This means that these messages cannot be monitored by anyone except the two members of the conversation. This includes anyone listening in on the traffic transmitted by the mobile devices and this even includes the server itself. In other words, this means that the servers cannot decrypt the content of these messages. In any case, the encrypted messages are only held by the server in the short time until delivery, so history of the entire (encrypted) conversation is never stored anywhere except on the mobile device itself.

The second concern is robustness of the network and the ability to freely and openly scale the network in the hands of third parties. In the Gems ecosystem, this means third parties will be able to add their own server nodes. Since server nodes can't access the content of secure messages, there is no security concern with adding nodes. This can roughly be compared to how third party routers in the Internet route your traffic to its destination.

The Gems message routing protocol is based on an open source framework (SignalR). It was designed to support multiple distributed nodes in order to support massive scale (a single server will never be able to support millions of users). We plan to open source the Gems message routing protocol and allow third parties to add new server nodes to the network. Mobile clients will be able to connect to these nodes and send messages through them just like with the original Gems servers.

Could someone brief about the Gem's cloud service?
Aren't things getting centralised in here?

I'm in,
Just the koinify.com does not load smoothly!  

Gems can do big things, the concept shows that. I would like to know what the plans marketingswise are in promoting gems outside of the crypto community? Since the reach is common users 

The advantage is that we are building a social messaging app based on attention economy with a built in wallet. This allows anyone to have a public hashtag but the spam is still under control. This opens a lot of interesting use cases for users wanting your attention and are willing to pay you directly. (With LinkedIn you pay the company to send unsolicited messages to users. In Tinder you can’t send unsolicited messages to girls you like even if you wanted to. In Instagram you can’t get the celebrities attention because their hashtag is being “spammed”. In Gems you will be able to do all these things if you pay the right price in gems. The cost to send such an unsolicited
message is dependent on the relative popularity of the recipient using a bidding system commonly employed by Google.

We are in alpha development, we will have photo sharing and it will be super fast

Fair enough people once they get on the hype train they can't work out their ass from their elbow but permission to say told you so when GEMS struggles to get past 10,000 users?

I dont know why fulcare keeps repeating himself, nxtty is absoluttely horrible, fulcare is such a noob in understanding business models. No app exists that is innovative like gems

They still don't appear. However I have sent you guys this morning an email with the Bitcoin addresses, so I suppose it will be fixed soon.

Any idea how long it will take?

Thanks in advance!

P.s. good to read you are working on a solution for android. I am from the Netherlands and at least half of my friends here are using android, while in the overal population it is almost 80%. So in order for these airdrops to be fair, everyone should have equal chances. With the current strategy, people living in countries that have higher Android adoption would be unnecessarily disadvantaged.

Dude you got their apps on your website as your target under the heading 'Value'  


And if you want to start defending your app, defend this. How do you expect an app to succeed these days where their are hundreds of chat apps with new ones coming everyday when you don't even have photo sharing! Cause photo sharing will be painfully slow?

We never said that we expect FB and Whatsapp like numbers.

As long as you keep repeating that you expect FB and Whatstheapp like numbers I'll keep repeating you won't so people aren't tricked into thinking they just bought 10% of FB. NXTTY IS a good comparison to see how well a chat crypto currency might catch on. A few weeks ago they were saying they were going to gets millions of downloads but they haven't managed past 5,000. Just keeping a balanced head and keeping it real as the usual ICO delirium sets in.

Uh Oh The Curse of Smaragda. Everyone should know every single coin this guy turns up on fails.

haha ^^
great to see you in this thread! 

Expecting success one month after launch is naive and immature. We're also in the first bear market in crypto currencies by the way, things are going to be pretty slow on all crypto fronts for the next 10-11 months. There is not much capital and adoption moving to cryptos until then, it will be a complete washout of the weak and impatient hands that crowded this market at the end of last year.

You are repeating yourself, again except from both being messaging apps they have nothing in common. Gems is based on attention economy: http://bitcoinwarrior.net/2014/12/gems-next-generation-social-app/
