Hello Everyone,
As we mentioned in the last update GetGems is taking off. Early testers are now exploring exciting new features with the latest web version presenting our interoperation of the Attention Economy. There are updates for all operating systems, some available now and others coming shortly.
Advertising
Advertising channels are another way to get Gems. Testing is underway for those using the web client. Go to web.getgems.org to log in.
An ad consumer is a GetGems user who reads the advertisements once inside the GetGems app.
Advertisers post advertisements with the GetGems web client to the advertising channels, while offering Gems to potential ad consumers who are using the GetGems application. Every 24 hours we add the number of ad consumers, the number of ads consumed and we distribute the Gems paid by the advertiser amongst the ad consumers.
A user can choose to opt in or out of any or all advertising channels, by toggling “Advertisement Settings” in the main menu

A little jump … 60,000 plus users — 10K added in 20 Days
With over 50,000 signups on iOS, Android and now the web version of GetGems, the Attention Economy is preparing to take off. Watch for announcements. It is worth noting that as the number of users rise, there are 1,090 reviews on the Google Play Store and we are very close to moving to a 4.7 rating!
Telegram 3.4 Gif Revolution and Inline Bots(Android)
This coming version adds the awesome features Telegram presented in their last release:
Gifs will load and run 20 times faster, celebrating the fact that we added a brand new GIF button at the chat screen, making the gif send option easy and intuitive. Moreover, there are many bots integrated inside the chat input line, go ahead and try them out! just type @wiki, @pic,@vid, @bold and see what happens.
Educating about Airdrops
It seems that many new users aren’t familiar with the Airdrop functionality. To make it more visible we have decided to make the “Airdrop” button the center of attention in the “Earn” screen. This will help to spread the word about AirDrops better and faster!
Referral Mechanism
We want everybody to enjoy GetGems as much as possible, so apart of our auto referral mechanism, which couples a referring user to the user which installed the app, we will allow anyone without an already defined inviter, to choose a friend from their contact list as the inviter. The selection will be only available once and can not be changed, so pick your inviter wisely.
Stability and More
With each version we learn more and more about the app’s usability and identify our weakest points. These last two weeks we have done our best to squash bugs, and increased efforts to optimise the code base to make it lighter and smarter. Some of the improvements included integrating Google’s Vision API as the QR scanner and smarter data caching.
iOS Prepares for Big Upgrade.
GetGems for iOS is going into new beta testing shortly, based on updated iOS open source for Telegram so we can catch up to the Android version. Attention Economy updates and changes to the User Interface will now be in keeping with Android.
Gems Keyboard (iOS)
iOS Gems Keyboard for iOS is waiting for approval in the app store.
Gems Keyboard (Android)
We have now added payment limits to the Android Gems Keyboard in “Settings”.
