Certainly agree with this and if you listen to Daniels podcasts he focusses more on the advertisement and reward model which is a good thing,  if you are trying to explain it to die hard bitcoin fans then you can't forget the bitcoin aspect, but i agree that the focus should be on getgems biggest innovation which is its attention economy model and reward system.

Is there a new update? What do you mean by push to get the app in people hands?

Maybe an option like shapeshift how it immediately converts cryptos, but it has a limit in how much you can convert, market with lower volume have lower limit, maybe there are other ways. But i think looking for regulatory aspects is more important, implementing such feature is manageable , if gems does it that it will be freaking boss.

I mean the various ways to help the app go viral like the url link and ability to invite all contacts easily.

Hello everyone,

My name is Dor and I am Synereo's founder and CEO.
Daniel and I have known each other for over a year and have known about each other's projects before they were even introduced to the public!
We're friends from the local Tel Aviv Bitcoin community and have collaborated on other projects before.

Daniel was at my house when I first introduced Synereo to my close friends from our community. I am the one who wrote the main text in the first post of this very thread.
"The beauty of recent developments based on the innovative Bitcoin technology is that they allow the public to claim control over previously centralized endeavours... "
Daniel first heard about the concept of "attention economy" from me, when describing Synereo.

We've been helping each other all throughout these past few months. Worry not! This space is large enough for all of us to grow our projects and user bases in.


I invite you all to look into what we're building and see where our project differs from GEMS'. You'll see that we have a lot in common in spirit, but we are doing something very, very different.

After a quick glance, it looked to me like they decided that the attention-economy model would make a great fit for their "SpecialK" platform and clapped it on. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and all that. If it's any consolation, those guys at least bring something to the table to make their Synero a little more than a knockoff clone.

GEMZ has already been featured in CoinTelegraph, and is already known as the attention-economy alt. When you think about it, Synero using "attention economy" is a boon for GEMZ. Almost everyone who's heard the phrase heard it in connection with GEMZ; we have the first-mover advantage publicity-wise. So it's a good bet that Synero's publicity drive will rub off on GEMZ.

Here's some more material about Synereo's attention model and network dynamics:

why can't I find some users from the search?
also, when I click on some users I found from the search, it does nothing, just reverts back and the right part of the chat screen turns black?

When the advertisement model goes live, then getgems is the first ever messaging app with this kind of model right? Wouldn't this be huge in the IM world?

I dont pay to use whatsapp tho, haven't been notified regarding that? hmm i believe after a year i need to pay. Thats why getgems needs to market this big, because its the first in doing such revolutionary thing. Have you seen the advertising model options? its pretty amazing and they might even add more options along the way.

I've never downloaded an app due to an advert and to be honest there aren't many adverts of apps apart from the annoying ones you get on games etc. Most apps become viral by simple word of mouth and communication generally over the Internet. Gems has a great story ie an app that pays the user, it's simple and interesting hook which I hope the marketing team in Getgems makes full use of.  Trying to push a cryptocurrency app will get nowhere. So all you need then is to get that simple story out to online news, blogs etc. Plus you got to get out of the Bitcoin Gulag and into more mainstream news sources even if they are just tech based sites like Wired etc. Plus you got to have some focus on China/Asia not just the West.

My belief is if we can tip the balance to 50,000 users this app will go viral in less than a year.
