I read some topics on reddit about crypto kitties and some people that they sold their kitties for 250ETH? WTF?
What is this ?

I have no clue what it is, but I am 100% sure it is the reason why the Ethereum network is bery slow at the moment. I need to pay 50 Gwei in order to have a normal speed transaction. Even with that Etherdelta is giving errors.

its a game where you buy kitties and then you can breed and sell them

https://www.cryptokitties.co/

So and how do I start there? Do I need to pay something?

idk but you need to sign up for sure

You are right, this game devours 15% of the ether network, and already as the second day the ether network got up. I can not imagine if we allow several such projects to be launched simultaneously, we will bury the ether forever.

Anyone of you guys already have some kitties or signed up on this page?

Cryptokitties is a game that is built in blockchain technology, the process is you will buy cats using Ethereum and breed them so you can earn by selling or trading them and also you will need to install metamask wallet on your pc or laptop to be able to get started. I also heard about it yesterday but I never tried play this game, but it is now trending because while playing you can also earn money, this is also the reason why Ethereum blockchain is congested and now experiencing scaling issues. Here's their official site: https://www.cryptokitties.co/

omg can't believe this.thats why my ed tokens and transactions don't work....missing opportunities because of this.

Dude, your transactions are not important. Give demmmmm kitties some foooood! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

yeah, that is one of the many flaws in ethereum platform combined with the fact that it can not handle large number of transactions properly and you will have to wait until the backlog disappears or you have to pay a high price (like fee) for your transactions.

Yes this is a new trend ,cryptocotyle ,but now the network is very bad ,the transaction is already weighing in the day , it's not very good

I'm just learning about it but it's making me like ETH less and less...

The game is nice and it is the first successful platform running completely on Ethereum and a browser (you need to install a chrome extension "metamask" to use it as a wallet).

Then too many transactions are generated by the game (developers should have thought it better) and it's plogging the ethereum network.

I will give it a look later. Seems like if you have a bit luck, you can get some expensive kitties  ;D

Cryptokitties is like a proof-of-concept of what is possible on Ethereum - imagine kitties replaced with other in-game items etc. Unfortunately, it's also revealed that Ethereum, once again, can't handle high volume. 

I think that this is useless project, which only loads the ETH-network. My morning transactions have not yet done, it`s terrible. These are simple pictures on the screen...

It's a real madness, when people are ready to pay thousands of dollars just for a virtual kitten. More of that is that ETH network is still suffering from those kittens. I can't understand why people invest in this game instead of investing in some porfitable ICOs?

Well, if i have the option to choose a ICO or buying a crypto kittie, I would go for a crypto kittie for real. ICOs are so scammy at the moment...

it's a website where you can pet virtual kitties and then sell them to other people for eth. I read an article recently that it was big thing. I'm not sure how exactly it works but I'm just giving you what I saw on their website. similar to video games I guess. I heard their users were clogging up the eth network.  :D

Yeah god damn game is breaking the Internet. Eh Ethereum network. Vitalik better get his ETH 2.0 up and running real quick. How is it that one ETH game causes everything to become slow and expensive?

And now I know for sure we have a lot of rich young people online. Selling digital cats for 250 ETH? Even now I see the cheapest one is 0.7 ETH. I don't even spend this much money to buy games.

Ok I admit, I am playing the game, but the cost is too much for me so I withdraw. I think.

From what I saw, the cheapest cat was like 30$. So you need like 60$ to buy 2 Cats and let them have fun and you get a new cat ;D

Basically, it's a funny n cute way to try your luck)

I didn't know it could take up that much in that short time span..looks like it's easy for some competition to attack the eth network with projects like this.

CryptoKitties allows anyone within the Ethereum network to purchase or sell breedable cartoon kittens. The decentralized structure of the Ethereum network disallows the alteration of ownership or production of fraudulent kittens, providing value to the kittens as collectibles with scarcity and rarity.

It's an app where you can buy kittens for crypto, tune them up and then sell them for more. Yeah, sounds like bullshit, but it got hype :)

I think this game is so popular that it can cause congestion on Ethereum network, looks interesting I was curious to try this game
Hopefully i get a rare cat  ;D

Good stress test for the network, however this game is utterly useless.
You can rise the price of your kitten by selling it to yourself several times.

I highly doubt that someone is willingly to pay 100 ETH for a 'nothing', the way I see it is that the owner buy/sell to him/herself, each times raising the price a little bit, so it appears that a kitten is popular and desired.

It's crazy-crazy world. Some people around are insane imo. Maybe it happens because of some kind of kitty magic))) but mostly it's all about the human stupidity.

You are right, probably FOMO too.
This game resembles of a ponzi-scheme, early buyers who got their kittens for free/low price are pushing the price higher and higher. Then we have these not-so-wise late-joiners thinking this is a good investment, buying for that overrated price, hoping to sell for higher. Only to be stucked with them kittens forever.

https://i.imgur.com/RhtWktV.jpg

It's crazy, people are buying these kittens in the tens of thousands of dollars! People pay tens of thousands for a piece of useless code!

Indeed, the blockchain will freeze, if it hasn't already. What I see from this project/experiment is a lesson the crypto world needed to learn. It has been said a few times, but nobody took the time to actually think about it.
But as it turns out, a sole blockchain cannot withstand more than 1 project. ONE SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. And in the case of ether network, that is ethereum. It was built for it and the fact that you can ass your coin to it, it was just meant to raise awareness and make people "consume" more of the network, make transactions with gas, so the network will always gain something.
Now, Bitcoin has its own network as well.

And the thing is that this project, or any project that aims to succeed needs its own blockchain, or it will eventually kill the entire network. I believe it's just a matter of time. For some it may take a few days, for others some years.

What bothered me, wad the cheap website and landing page this cryptokitties game gas. As it claims to be "one of the world's games built on the blockchain technology.... with cryptocollectible" BS. That's what it is. I see it as a MLM bs, with a nice marketing, what was probably set up by a marketer in the first place. It only proves once more, that a cute wrap sell about any crap.
As if this was not enough, the entire idea of this 1st thing ever that came up with this is stolen. It has been almost a year since the first collectible card game, a football manager game exists. It is a game which offers you the possibility to act like a football manager, setting football teams, for the future real football matches. And the ranking system from the game is based on the real results of the games. The top ranking managers get rewards in crypto and that's how the mining is being done.
Yes, it's a free game and that is the first crypto game that I know of. Their collectible football players cards are seen as your assets, which you own. The only one big difference is that this game can be played for free, since not all player cards must be bought. And you can win the crypto if you are smart enough.
Another thing that I learnt from both this projects is that FootballCoin, the football manager game is building its own blockchain, unlike CryptoKitties, just do THIS freezing blockchain situation never happens. A very big sign that the project has a vision and future plans for development, than a lucky shot the kittens have took.  

No trying to convince anyone, just putting this out there... hoping one of those people who have bought digital pictures of cartoones cats will read it. Happy breeding.

The point of the whole project may be to load the ETH network and bring it down a notch.  Surely the devs had to have considered the strain it would cause...

I heard it within a few days and it was enough to disrupt the speed of eth transactions.
do not need to enter into the expensive game before we know the actual impact, hopefully eth team immediately do the prevention of the game because it is very disturbing.

CryptoKitties lets players buy and breed "crypto-pets" on Ethereum's  blockchain network. The real problem is this game put too much stress on Ethereum network and is in charge of approximately 20% total traffic. I think it will be banned from Network or there will be a fork to get rid of this game. I have nothing against but imagine is getting now to main media, and viral on all news portal, reddit, facebook, youtube. What will happen if 5 other crypto copycats create a similar game on Etereum Network?  stand still and transaction fees will increase. This craze didn't start yet for good, it's a good time to stop it before is too late.

What the heck is this lol. I just got suckered into making an account and I will probably be breeding kitties within the hour...oh god... From what I have gathered in a short time, this seems to be more profitable than airdrops and bounties  ??? ??? ???

And then crypto went to the kitties.............. :o

hmm, looks like playing Tamagotchi / Pou, right ?  ;D
but this difference uses etherum blockchain to play this game and you can earn some money if you successfuly raised our kitties and sell it...
i already heard about cryptokitties from my crypto telegram group and some people discuss about cryptokittis but I dont really care...

How do you disallow participants of a decentralized network from using it and voting with their transaction fees what is really important and valuable in life (i.e. Cryptokitties)?

Where are all those BTC crappers / ETH to the moon prophets (such cheap and fast transactions). Seems it is not much better after first use case.

Silly game for idiots. That's the main reason Ethereum network has been so slow since yesterday, transactions are processed with delays and it's hard to invest in ICOs. I thought cryptocurrency users were more clever than this...

This is some kind of disgrace, I still do not understand what's going on. The Etherium network does not work all day, what will happen next. This is a bad test for the Etherium network.

This reminds me of Tamagotchi and more recently Pokemon Go. Given its popularity we might see more crypto-pets coming up and even ICO behind it :).

I don't personally consider this a bad thing for Ethereum and Crypto. This is the type of fun news that we desperately need to mixed up with all the government crack down type of news. What crypto/blockchain needs today is to make it easy to understand and connect with normal people.

This crap game was hurting the ethereum chain. What the fuck is this https://etherscan.io/address/0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d
Over 580k transaction.
This is the main reason that's why the majority of the people get stuck by using the ethereum at this time. Over 20% of the total transaction. Why so many people are buying this crap thing.  My transaction gets stuck. This must be stopped.

So that's why my transactions wont push through.I'ts been 2 days already.Can't someone do something about this?Losing a lot of opportunities because of Ethereum's heavy traffic.

Yes, it is a very hot games based on Etherium network and it makes the network crowded. I do not know much about it, just heard it from my friends. I do not like that game.

WHAT A LESSON FOR THE WHOLE CRYPTOWORLD!!!!!!!! I tried the game, as I am just curios, how it actually works. And I need to confes, the POW is not confirmed for the ethereum network. We will see HUGE problems in coming month for the cryptoworld, if there are no more reliable projects in place, which can handle much, much higher transactions also with a LOT lower transaction fees.

this game will make crypto currency very popular among people for whom the names ETHERIUM and BITCOIN were too complicated, and the kittens are very simply

Glad I found this thread. Ive also seen some memes about it and that everybody is talking about kittens today, but I dont understood the big deal. As this seems to be just the beginning of this game, dont you think that this is way too much for the ethereum blockchain to handle? Maybe this is a coup executed by some competition of Ethereum to show the public the weaknesses Ethereum networks scalability. So as this is a game, and not an airdrop of some sort as I first thought, we can now expect that this will go on continously like that am I right? ETH network will be clogged until they stop the game? Hope Im wrong and someone corrects me.

WTH Cryptokitties? I spend one day away from bitcointalk and come back to find out a blockchain Tamagochi game is revealing flaws in ETH platform while also revealing that people are stupid enough to pay hundreds of dollars for a fake, pixel kitty.

Crypto never ceases to amaze me.

Of course, to most of us it sounds like a pointless project, but I have to hand it to the devs of the game, they found a simple way to earn money.  Do they care that they are clogging the network? I highly doubt it.  The amount of coding that went into this seems minimal, and I'm thinking they might have used Pokemon Go as a crude model of how something can catch on, become a craze, and it can be capitalized on.

Some things that can potentially come out of this is projects like Chainlink starting to be seen as more essential as scalability issues are readily evident.  Solutions that can help to solve this are necessary and worth promoting and investing in.  The problem with Chainlink is that there is no actual working product yet nor is there any indication that one will come out soon...

I'm trying also to understand what is wrong the world. Everyone is just talking about them. Even Buterin appreciated those kitties

Its a game. Where you can buy kitties images haha. And those kitties have values somehow and i dont know why. Says in the website that, what runs in the network is its details on ownership. Still i dont know why its valuable.

Why are you guys hating so much on Cryptokitties? Its success only means the Ethereum platform is working as intended (and being improved on a frequent basis). Many more games like this will come in the very near future, and if the scaling solutions are in place to withstand the workload, then Ether is going to explode in adoption (and consequently price as well).

This is not about hate, it's about the timing and disruption to the ethereum network! There are many valuable project depending on the network and many ICO can not be executed as they should!

they sold kitties for 250 eth? geez they will be a rich now because its huge money. maybe the game is like pokemon or tamagochi like above said and actually, I am amazed about the game which can attract people to play. although I don't too often play games, sometimes I will try the game later and see how it looks like.

Hello, guys! Today around 5 hours I tried to collect information about CryptoKitties from different sourses. And what I want to share with you:
1. CryptoKitties did a super-duper hype and it's great - I was waiting any interesting crypto-game since winter and couldn't find anything (maybe, you know and could reccomend me smth ::)) I didn't notice any great game hype since Pokemon Go.
2. if you want to join CryptoKitties - it will take a lot of time: you should know and understand all rules and principles (there are a lot of small-small-small details that make the game). And according some info: every day it will be a gap between new people and the first kitty-holders. Maybe, developers will add special rules or compensation after some period - no idea.
3. the main annoying thing - Ethereum network is almost not working... I was so angry >:( when I tried to buy 4 kitties I had chosen - and as a result - 4 times my transactions were not completed and I didn't buy any cat but comission was taken every time. Just imagine what can be with Ethereum network if few other hype projects will be released in December... ??? And one day such situation could be! That's very upset.

It's a digital revolution. Pretty much anything that wouldn't have value otherwise is getting value attached to it. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing when it comes to economy as a whole and not just digitally.

Crypto kitties are morelikely a farmville game where you can breed the kitties to get more ethereum like farming in farmville this is why ethereum transactions are super slow today.

I definately won't "play" Crypto Kitties, but I can see the appeal to certain audience. Main thing is more exposure for crypto which will make crypto a part of daily life.

Only thing is it really shows Ethereum can't handle this amount of txs, bad and good, how is Ethereum going to handle all these ICO projects coming online in the next year or two and that have utility tokens being used to fuel their platforms.

Stratis, Ark, Ardor etc need to get up to speed so ICOs can be released on these instead of Ethereum.

This game is dumped eth price faster then btc pump.

Everything where there are kittens is bounded to be successful :D People just love kittens

It's so frustrating, I can't even use etherdelta wit 20gwei

it is just a start. that is how ethereum should work, the Crypto Kitties is not doing anything wrong or out of the ordinary, it is actually using ethereum as everyone else i supposed to use it. the problem is that ethereum is not capable of handling this much usage despite all the things that you hear in the advertisements.

and i say it is just a start because people seem to have liked it and i saw yesterday that someone released some simple tutorial on how to make your own thing similar to this project. and soon there will be more of these and things will become even harder.

Because in reality, ethereal is a shitty shit, albeit working. If such a crazy game attracted so much attention, now there will be so many similar toys that I'm afraid to even imagine. blockchain for the sake of seals, it sounds funny)

It's certainly affected ETH's price that's for sure. I am going to have a look at it later on if I can earn some ETH by stroking the pussies :)

Its a game that the developers has released and it cost a lot of damage especially the ETH price and the transaction speed to eth networks.

I think that this situation is good only for MINT tokens because their price grows with gas price growth ;)

Why not to do the same game with dogs?

Set aside the impact on the ethereum network, I'm completely baffled by the prices those virtual kitties are traded. Unbelievable!

This is really interesting and probably i am going to buy a kitty in few days. This is really funny and i love kitties.
Wait for me i am coming in :)

It seems to be the next upcoming FAD trend, but it is totally messing up the ETH network transactions for everyone else. If this continues or gets worse, how long before the sensible thing happens and they get kicked off the blockchain?

Isn't that everybodies dream job? :)

So i knew it this is the reason why Ethereum price crashes and its transaction speed has decreased wrong move for ethereum developers.

Crypto Kitties is the next Pokemon game, and it's doing more harm than good.

Clogging up the Blockchain and slowing down transactions is annoying for everyone.

Awful. Because of this game that I can not withdraw my ETH :(

This game looks funny, but I do not understand why people pay thousands of dollars just for useless digital cat :D

I read about the game, I think it's something like that neko atsume game where you collect cats.   :D It is a big thing at the moment, but it will probably fall into obscurity very soon.

yeah it is just a start because the game is not yet been popularized and became trending to the netizens. soon the etherium network will became really congested and verry slow if this cryptokitty hype will continue and if devs will develop it on some different platforms and operating system like ios, android, etc. though i believe that this problem can be fix if they can add some other payment option like bitcoin , paypal , credit cards , etc but i dont know it that is possible because the game is built under the etherium's smart contract.

In short, CryptoKitties are a bunch of cyber cats clogging up the blockchain and slowing down transactions in the Ethereum network.

It does clog the network, but I'm guilty of trying it too...

Yes, i have already 4 kittens and i'm want to make more, i think they only be rise in price so it's interesting investment.

Crypto kitties is just like any other token on the ethereum network. It's just that if we buy later he has a child we can sell again. I think it's just a new token under the guise of a toy. can also ponzy

This is ridiculous game,you need to purchase kitties to breed them and to earn more ETH its like the old farmville gaming.

Yup, ICO is quite toxic nowadays.
Still, I find it hard to take crypto kittie seriously apart from the fact that it helps ETH to realize its own issues about the network.

Looks like interesting!
It's a new way of some kind of crypto mining instead of getting coins from reserve pool.
Actually I'm intrigued and I want to try it out soon.

Actually just the same with farming, and the only those who can do it are the people who have no full time job as they can take care those cats for profit. That's a good level of the game, and the thing is that Cryptocurrency is the prize when you want to trade them into other coins.

hahas its a big example for why we need to use Komodo platform for this kind of projects
they have independent chain, so something like this can never happen.

250ETH a cat ? that's crazy

I don't get it. There are so many games exactly like this that you can join for free. The only thing that this has going for it is that it operates on a Blockchain. It's ridiculous that people are wasting so much money on digital images.

It's a real madness, when people are ready to pay thousands of dollars just for a virtual kitten. It's ridiculous that people are wasting so much money on digital images. I can't understand why people invest in this game instead of investing in some porfitable ICOs?

250 ETH for one? My interest is piqued. Going to have to take a look at this...although, typically I'm probably late to the party and it'll be a heavy grind to get anything out of it.

Destiny already destroyed my soul, I can't take another grindy game.

Especially it's just a virtual cat, I am really don't understand the thinking of the rich.
I want to know the face of who person bought this cat with this price haha.

It's just a game about virtual cat, you can breed them and sell them later. I checked their site and the price for one cat is quite expensive. I dont know why people want to pay an expensive price for that kind of things.

This is crazy! But thanks for clearing it up at least I know what crypto kitties are now :)

Oh, I'm also was wondered about those kitties  :D thanks for explanation ;) :)

Maybe if the cats were breed you can sell the cats and exchange it to ethereum coin,thats why it coist a lot i saw the cheapest price of the cat its worth 246ETHs.

haha stop clogging up the network more  :D

It's definitely an interesting app if so many users are playing it.

So is there a way for me to adopt a kitten by someone who does not want it?... Since there is never an ugly kitten  ;D

First of all 250 eth spent on a picture is insane waste of money imo...How many people could make their dreams come true to become someone they want just for the price of some shitty picture..

Not saying about network overload.
Thats insane and so crazy omg

I still find it hard to understand why and how people are so hyped with this crypto game. yes, it is the beginning of a new era in the digital world and it's a good way to get more people involved in the crypto world.

But talking about cryptogames, I recommend playing one for free, in which you win crypto and then can use it to buy collectibles or you can keep it, exchange it into any other cryptocurrency. It's called FootballCoin, and it's a fantasy football manager. Those guys seem smart, since they are building their own blockchain, so that this thing that is going to kill cryptokitties, doesn't happen to them. All the best!

I myself have looked into Crypto Kitties and still don't entirely understand the concept. how do you breed or establish between male/female kitties? and how do you make money from it?

This is the game ethereum released earlier,it requires you to buy some kitties to get it breed and you can earn ethereum i guess?

If posts on this thread are true its just another digital obsession but on blockchain.
I really don't understand this kind of digitalized obsessions. I hope it won't damage ether chain much.

It's like a Farmville or Clash of Titans, buy kitties and take care of them, when they becomes a Fat Cat then you can sell them.
I think it's one another level of Cryptocurrency game that transformed gems as reward into cryptocurrency tokens.

Yes, that's right but I wonder why people are buying virtual kitties and cats today. What are those for? I'm confused or maybe someone in this thread knows how exactly the game was all about.

CryptoKitties is a game developed from blockchain and the first of its kind. Its similar from Tamagochi where you will purchase digital kitties to breed and collect. Whats make it different compared to a traditional pet game is that you can breed two CryptoKitties to create a unique kitty which cannot be replicate, stolen nor destroyed. Since these Kitties are tradeable that you can buy or sell, the main goal here is creating a rare type of kitty that will be valuable and in demand which you can sell at a higher price. It created a hype to a lot of people because of its effective marketing campaign, since its the first ever game created from crypto technology, many people supported it.

There is no male or female kitties) It's not hard to explain, but you can check official FAQ on their website.

its game.. virtual cat
you can give food and sell them again if they have children..
sucks people who joining that, it makes 25k tx id pending in blockchain ethereum
i think thats a PONZI game.. sometimes can "scam & run" bring your money

A game of time investments, The early buyers makes most money since they can sell the most cutie breed of kitties that fetch for a good price than the later breed of kitties.

But honestly, I will not buy into this game :D Not Paying even .01 ETH for some fancy digital images of colored cats

Think of these rather unpalatable cartoon kittens as unique digital Pokemon cards. The game's developers describe them as "breedable Beanie Babies", each with its own unique 256-bit genome.
The CryptoKitties game accounts for over 10% of network traffic on Ethereum. As traffic increases, transactions become more expensive to execute quickly.

So it is a new game whre you can buy cats for ethereum and breed him. Looks easy, we will see how it will be soon, i believe it do not change ethereum market

Guys dont you think that this kind of stuff was made to show off the weaknesses of the current ethereum eco system? Im tempted to think it was, it clearly shows us that Ethereum blockchain is not ready to scale for mass adoption.

Cryptokities is the new ETH Dapp which has broken the records of all previous ETH Daps or maybe all crypto based daps too! It's basically a blockchain version of Neopets; where you buy, breed and sell virtual pets. Some kitties are indeed selling for 250+ ETH. Even the starting price is currently around 0.03 ETH. I have been in this game from the starting (launched on 28th November) and I must say the experience is just awesome. The game is highly addictive. You will need a metamask addon, some ETH (around 0.1 ETH for an average start). Also this game is currently available on computer only and not other devices like smartphone, tab etc. But before you enter, do know that every major action like breed, buy, sell, gift etc. costs ETH fees. And since the ETH fees is currently going around 30 GWEI, you might easily lose all your funds in transactions if you are not calculating.

And fun fact, Cryptokitties is currently responsible for more than 25% of ETH transactions and almost solely responsible for the congestion you are experiencing on ETH network.

Some people are saying Cryptokitties should be banned, but they are so naive. Just think about it, if 1 viral Dapp can cause so much issues, how do you expect to handle the traffic if you want everyone to be a part of the crypto world. At least this Dapp opened the eyes of ETH devs that they need to implement upgrades and that too soon!!

This thing is crazy! Just heard about this. Thanks for clearing it up!

Don't think CryptoKittens were made with purpose of showing Ethereum scaling problems. It sounds too much like some crazy conspiracy theory to me. Nevertheless, I was totally taken aback. I was of course totally aware (like everybody else I suppose) that Ethereum has its limits, and those has to be addressed in the future if it wants to take its position as new fintech IT infrastructure. Yet, I thought we still have a year at least before we hit a wall.

Now it is a little bit scary, as congestion is again rising. It really screws over some good ICO's right now, and the worst is the fact that there is really no other solution to the problem except to wait till the CryptoKittens hype (and traffic) will go down. Just sit and wait... annoying... I am also suprised that market didn't react and ETH price didn't went down.

initially I'm also very confused what it is cryptokitties, but after asking with my friend, I finally understand, cryptokitties is a game website where we can keep the cat and breed, the more unique motifs of our kittens, the more expensive also, the purchase through eth this also causes eth down because of the many pending transactions.

if there is a desire to hold etherium I strongly agree on your thoughts.

Now i hate cats because of this annoying project. This meas a lot of devs will follow and we will be able to collect all kinds of stuff on blockchain.

I don't know what Crypto Kitties are..but i think it's ridiculous that Ethereum has been almost freezed for two days because of this stupid kitties..
I am actually getting very frustrated because i can't move any of my tokens that i would like to trade.
Vitalik has got lots to do...if he really wants Ethereum to compete with other platforms like EOS that seems to be way better already.

All my transactions are stuck pending

Crypto kitties show us that Ethereum needs more imrovements with their speed of transactions. Hope they make it better.

Yeah, that's true. I dont know, how it work. Movement price of etherum is very slow, at the moment. So many cryptokitties transaction in blockchain. Etherdelta's network so slowly, at the moment. You need to pay more gas, if you want to get normal speed transaction.

I think its good for ethereum, its the first blockbuster game to bring mainstream adoption to crypto. And it is ethereum that made it happen. Sure there is congestion but that is to be expected just like the internet had problems scaling. Transaction speed will get faster! Not sure why many people are so short sighted and can't see how great this is for Ethereum.

Is this what is causing these delays that people are talking about?
If that's the case, how can their blockchain handle applications that requires 100x more capacity than this?

I'm not sure about that. Just because the game ethereum becomes slow even etherdelta is also problematic. I was the first to hear about this and make ethereum become slow. Looks like I need to find more information about this.

I'm afraid that if the developers of the ethereum do not kill these cats, then a lot of money will start to leave the system. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of this situation to other projects. I hate these cats.

I don't understand the mentality of those buying these Kitties. I mean what are they hoping for? Well never mind, those Kitties Devs are millionaires right now.

Yap that's why. we still do not know what is happening now because there is no evidence published by etherdelta. seriously this is not normal why a big website like etherdelta is defeated by cat website -_- seriously i still don't understand. why ?!

Okay, thanks for answering to my question. I got a transaction still stuck since more than 24 hours now.

As you said there is nothing to do about it then wait for the hype to settle down, what is going to happen if the hype does not settle down or if now as something like this came up more people would start to create something similar, wouldnt this lead to a total congestion that could possibly kill ethereum? This scenario really scares the shit out of me.

Isnt there a way to restrict such dapps somehow while Ethereum has no solution for its scaling issues?

And it seems that many are easily get hook with it. Actually when I first saw this crytokitten I thought that if there's people that will gonna put their money here, yeah it's cute but it's not worth for any single eth but to my surprise people now are making fuzz with it and make the transaction too congested. And something fishy is going on here.

This fucking game cost me so much money by delaying my ether trade, I just lost 8k$ because of it. I already abhorred cats in real life, I now abhor virtual ones too.

By itself it's fluff but I think it functions as an excellent proof of concept - namely that numerous strangers can work on similar tasks trying to accomplish goals.

This is really crazy. The amount people are willing to spend on virtual cats. It is downright gambling.

I think it's just the blockchain version of Tamagotchi. But you can not play with your kitty. So I was shocked by the super high price of the vitual kitties.

it's not blockchain, its shitty dapps on ETH blockchain,

How can such punctures be avoided in the future? It seems to me that every user would not like to face such projects and lose not only finance, but also in due time.

I do not believe that this bloody application f*cks all ethereum network.

Sad how (likely) because of this ETH been dropping these days while BTC is going up like crazy
sad because i just invested in ETH lol

I can't believe this thing blocked the ethereum blockchain, this shows that ethereum is not ready to be adopted specifically.

This is amazing for the whole cryptocurrency market and the blockchain technology. One of the first projects based on blockchain which makes this technology accessible to the general public (I guess mostly girls). We should be irritated about the clogging of the network right now but happy for the future as this brings even more people to cryptos meaning your stack will be worth more in the future.

In fact, sometimes it's hard to find out. I can not believe Ethereum or other crypto myself. This is simply unbelievable. I hope that we will continue to record such brilliant coin prices.

ahah, still didn't get what is was but made me laugh a lot !!!!

As the first dapps and it gives a lot of the information to another project too and not the only ethereum. to run the dapps with million supporters seems to be a difficult choice. As you can see how many people are interested to play the game in dapps.

Me too. It's like a PokemonGo craze that is happening. I want to rejoice that crypto is getting popular because of this but it's creating delays and blocking Eth transactions and it affects my tradings so it's gives me frustrations.

This maybe the reason that eth price stand in place while btc growing all the way, VB should make efforts to solve the busy network, otherwise it will be replaced by eos easily

They finally showed the world how bad ethereum is :D

Ethereum is bad? Compared to bitcoin and other stuff.... Ethereum is right now the king just saying. They had 800k transactions ongoing only on 1 day!!!

Cryptokitties is the game in which unique cats will be generated in the blockchain securely. These unique cats will be sold at a higher price if anybody wants. Recently one cryptokitty sold at $ 114000.

still
if they cant serve 1 game, they are not good enough
there are projects who will seek for other platforms

and yes ethereum is bad i am confident about it before the kitties
ok you know what, not good enough is the right term

I just heard this. I'm not sure what everyone says about the slow ethereum due to this cat. I think it's the nonsense that everyone talks about.

I couldnt agree any more. This Cat app is too much right now. Transactions in the Eth Network are slow and people are getting agitated.

There needs to be an increase in the system because this game has been phenomenal, it turns out that many people who want a crypto business in the game and continue their past hobby as a cat lover. Larger things will happen if the eth is connected with pokemon go or mobile legend. The traffic is a problem but I'm sure Vitalic can fix it quickly.

crypto kitty project is booming, I am pretty sure many more will follow not sure what happen with ether network if the hype continue on.

I don't really get that, 250 for a kitty?

if from as far as I am CryptoKitties is a game developed from blockchain and the first of its kind and very Similar to Tamagochi where you will buy digital kitties to be bred and collected. What sets it apart from traditional pets games is that you can breed two CryptoKitties to create unique cats that can not be imitated, stolen, or destroyed. Because these tradable Kitties can be bought or sold, the ultimate goal is to create a rare cat species that will be valuable and on demand that you can sell for a higher price. This creates a hype for many people because of its effective marketing campaign, because its first game is made from crypto technology, many people support it because it is good and many gamers play it

Yes, you pay ether for them. You can either buy two to start breeding, or you can buy one and then pay less than it would cost to buy a cat to have someone else's cat breed with yours and you get the baby. Parents cannot breed with babies. Then, you can either sell it or keep it to breed with another one. Different generations have different ether values, as do cats with rarer qualities. The generations start at zero '0'. Two zero cats would have a gen 1 baby. Two gen 1's would have a gen 2, and so on. You can breed between generations, but it lowers the value of your kitten, because it will be a lower gen cat.

Cryptokitties are blockin the blockchain of ethereum. And i wonder why this is not effecting to ethereum price.
too many transactions on blockchain but price is not rising. this is really weired.

Had a look and have to say kind of addicted now to breeding these cats and trying to get the right trait, the rarer the better :)
This is a good test for the network and shows that it cannot cope with this level of transactions, hopefully this will prompt the next generation of ETH.

Cyptokitties are breeding game many people addicted to it they said it eay to earn money by breeding the cats and sell the other one but the rarer the better. Some people said CryptoKitties is the problem of slow transaction in eth so you need to higher you gas

Its a game that ethereum released yesterday its a D-app game which you are required to buy kitties to breed which costs a lot of ETH i heard it was 246ETH.

This should soon be over! Too much time was spent on the entire network of detachment so that it was abandoned so simply! I think weeks 2 kittens will live a maximum!

Mean the project make etherium very slow? Oh my good. 50 gwei? Such bad idea to increase become 50 gwei.
I think this happen in last 3 days. It happen to my transaction in etherdelta and in myetherwallet.

How possible they can ban this? lol this is accutally clients of ethererum. there is no reason ethereum ban this type of applications. I am just wondering how possible etherumem alive when there are ten of future application like "CryptoKitties". etherum is surely down if they dont do anything

Yeah, it took me almost 48 hours to get one silly transaction through :'(  What happens when (and it's when, not if) there are more apps like this on the network? The game's not going anywhere - look at the insane profits people are making on these ridiculous cat pictures. So the onus really is on the network to catch up - and fast!

Crypto cats hung the ether network for several days. I can not make payments because the network is paralyzed. Who needs such useless and even dangerous games?

Crypto-seals are another way to earn money. Although judging by the way they suspended the etherium network, it can be assumed that this is someone deliberately planned action.

im not spending a single coin with this kitties.pokemon is better.

so is this is a plan to make the price etherium become up or if instead make etherium price down?
If prise up it's good and if prise prise down it's bad!!!

thank goodness , i was thinking my account was hacked, i cant even do any transaction on MEW everything is stuck, i dont realy know what is going on

right now 2 - the other 3 are stucked in pending transactions :D

And no, not all kitten are sold for 250 ETH. The cheapest start at 0.03 Ethereum ;)

Happy breeding yo

The one who buy that virtual Kitties worth of 250ETH must be crazy. But the craziest still is eth network. Many people frustrated since their tx stuck, and some failed.

The spotlight should be on eth network, not on the Kitties. I'm not interested in CryptoKitties, but I don't blame on it. It runs its business and people interested on it. The hype become the trigger of people desire to compete get what they want, that is the kitten, although they have to increase the gas. I think this is a good moment to evaluate eth network and do a significant improvement. How can something like CryptoKitties' hype makes the network congested and got heavy traffic.

If no significant improvement on the network, don't blame on the next independent pet lover dev (who knows) will develop Crypto-PUPPIES. Then all falls down.

Good evening ,who may be able to tell when it will end ? These cats have captivated the world and broke the Ethereum

projects that I really like if it contains good potential,
good luck for you WTF. i like it.

crypto kitties is a game base on cryptocurrency, this game bases on Ethereum platform ERC20, these developers are really smart, they created digital cats and sell them to users with the price start from 0.03 ETH and even 250ETH for a crypto cat. however this game is making ETH blocks slowing down, investors transactions have been stuck for days.

Wow. Now i know. It seems that the intention of the game is not bad but i heard a lot of negative feedbacks about it. I hope they find a solutions to that aside from killing those kittens.

I hope ethereum will solve issues with their network after I buy some Eth ;D This is a good time for us to invest in something except BTC

REF: From https://www.cryptokitties.co/

What is CryptoKitties?
CryptoKitties is a game centered around breedable, collectible, and oh-so-adorable creatures we call CryptoKitties! Each cat is one-of-a-kind and 100% owned by you; it cannot be replicated, taken away, or destroyed.

My suggestion that you can try to increase your gas for your transcation and remember to put the more gas if you are trying to make a transaction through MEW. I've done a research about that and it seems you must try to increase your gwei at the moment.

This shit should stop they are killing the ethereum network

Dev team is really great, I seen that this game is a test in order for them to make adjustment just in case the system was over populated of so many transactions, and the team will adjust and fixed this problem making Eth platform more reliable in the long term process.

Oh my, I was reading the article on CNBC about this so-called "cryptokitties" - I wonder how the token holders were able to sell them for that much price.

That is ethereum's d-app game that caused the eth's network to be congested and to slow the transaction speed.

Just next hype-project. Hope that massive hysteria will end until the end of the weak.

a purposeless, over hyped game that results on some investors losing faith in ethereum, cryptocurrency or else.
Ether delta is working (if you say that "working") very slow and bad. People are losing some ETH's during the transactions,
and a few moments ago my friend sent some ETH with 60 gwei gas price in 9 minutes.
Thats bad.. hopefully it will lose some momentum in a few days.

Crypto Vanity !! Digital cats for $$$$ why why why?

Oh yeah f those kitties, they are making my beloved ETH to go slow. Why I have started thinking that it has also affected the bitcoin in positive ways, I mean did these kitties bought lot of bitcoin to fluctuate the rates at all. Yeah surely that is the reason why it pumped and perfect to think that how my ETH is going down at the movement. Please kitties stop that non sense to devalue the ETH.

Hope that this period will overcome soon and we will see the ETH value going back to what is expected from it in the January 2018. How many of you guys think that is achievable really?

In my opinion, if the developers of the Ethereum platform do not take active measures to eliminate this problem in the near future, we will see a big drop in the price. Competitors are not sleeping. Next year the ethereum can lose its position very much. A little innocuous game hit so hard on the whole system ..

i'm not sure if im right,but i heard crypto kitties is a game where you can breed and sell the kittens. i just wonder why it goes viral that cause ethereum congested and down?!!!!!hate those kitties lol😊

I can't believe we are back in 90s collecting "pokemons"
However this time its 2017 version on the blockchain platform.
Cryptokittens, It now takes 20% of all txs

Do you have any resources that prove that this is actually the case? As far as I could find out so far, the Ethereum dev team said that they are thankful for this because it showed the weaknesses and where they have to work on, but not that they themselves launched this thing as a scalability test.

There you go. Have fun breeding thin air and get your money stole in the process.

Good luck with your cryptoLottery.

I will not be surprised if there is a cryptocoyote devouring all the cryptokitties, still I find this phenomenon quite intriguing.

they're still network hogs thats for sure!

kitties and cats ether network very slow what had  happen in the crypto world i have been out only for two days and this new concept appears what is this can someone please clarify?

We make chat for Crypto kitties players in telegram.
Join us for know about latest game features, hacks and improve your game skills
https://t.me/joinchat/HUGfQBLkwP6TB-jqX5EVgw

I'm sure you understand that this will not solve the issue at all.
Okay, let's say tomorrow CryptoKitties dev team decide to close their game.

But one day later someone can create a similar viral thing. A game, gambling or some other Ponzi scheme.
And this will shut down Ethereum network again.

Ethereum team should solve this on their side, DAP developers are not the root of this problem.

They are just stupid virtual pets created and traded by stupid persons. They are clogging Ethereum network and making us loose money.
I wonder what are these people thinking when they buy these stupid kitties with these high prices.

The market seems to be stagnating right now, with the cheapest cats going for around 0.03 eth. Since the gas + fee to breed a cat costs around that same value, we'll probably see a decrease in ethereum's platform demand.

Anybody know where this game is popular / where most of the users are. Are there any means to figure it out? i.e; mostly in U.S.? Japan? etc.

i have just know read a thread talking about this kitties phenomena anf i read it is a game that make you money and it has relation with ether.

Indeed, the cost of ethereum's may decrease, because of this game.
I was also interested to see Catcoin - created in 2015. Interestingly there is a connection between them, or I do not see the obvious ???

Guys do you believe that Ethereum went down because of these crypto cats game? I dont understand how it is possible. I mean many people still invest on Ethereum but they say in dumped because of this game. There should be another reasons.

its terible, one project make network super busy and crash!
is that official release annoucement from ethereum itself?
this really really bad.. >:(

 I read some topics on reddit about crypto kitties and some people that they sold their kitties for 250ETH. the process is you will buy cats using Ethereum and breed them so you can earn by selling or trading them and also you will need to install metamask wallet on your pc or laptop to be able to get started. I also heard about it yesterday and never tried play this game but it is now trending .

My thought exactly, Puppies and dinosaurs anyone? I want a Tyrannosaurus REX Now!

Crypto kitties is a game based that used ethreum network, there are lot of people playing this game but due to this the network has been clog and not functioning well.
With this kitties manages to shutdown the network which took a lot of transaction to be halted along the way.

Its a d-app game released by ethereum network 3days ago and it cause a lot of problems to eth networks including slow transaction process.

Dogecoin 2.0.

With genetic mutation feature (makes it a game) and more huggable like Beannie Babies. More feminine (and lots of effeminate geeks like cats too) so brings in a wider demographic.

It’s cute like Angry Birds and playable but in a less violent, more on collectibles, and farming (like Farmville) meme.

As far as I can tell, the kitties aren’t fungible so they can’t be used as money.

It currently stresses the transaction volume scaling capacity of the Ethereum design. This might be a boom for EOS or even perhaps for Ethereum (at the detriment of EOS) if this forces Vitalik and/or Raiden to a scaling solution faster.

until now the ethereum networks is so busy it cause this game cryptokitties
I traded on etherdelta and get a problem to buy or sell order there.

It is said that the recent collapse of the ether was caused by it, and the cute kitten was the culprit. I've heard that someone's got hundreds of thousands of cats. It was interesting, and now a lot of people are interested in it. But I'm a green hand, just looking at it.

CryptoKitties is working as long as the dev team is working on this. The good news is that crypto games are getting more attention. But for sure, these kitties will crash at some point. No doubt about it.

Take a look at footballcoin. That's a game based on real stats, with its own blockchain. So that what happened with the eth network will never happen to them.

I think it's a game where you can buy kitties and you guys take care of it and then it can be sold .. it's the thing that can make ethereum so slow

I hope this madness with crypto kitties will end soon. I can not transfer my eth for a four days, money lost every day. This idiotic Kitties ruining buseneses of many people.

I really hope the hype of this cats will get over ver fast. Its just blocking important transaction on the ethereum network. How can it be that there are so many people playing these game? Is dont think that anybody who is trading seriouse with cryptocurrencys will play this.

Crypto kitties are the proof that Ethereum has still a long way to go before being an usable platform for serious business. A few kitties have crashed the platform.

Actually the Cryptokitties casw showed how vulnerable even well developed projects are. Just a virus game created such a trouble for the whole crypto community! I think that Vitalik Buterin and his team have to investigate this case deeply and find solutions to increase the number of transactions in the network.

it evokes a smile in me, as this is another proof that we are all the same children and love games) it is a sweet project, as for me...but it's bad that the network doesn't work well...I really hope that this will be fixed

Oh god.. they are fun but annoying at the same time !!! Can't do any transaction... I guess there is no "workaround"...?

Can anyone explain why crypto kitties are slowing everything down?

The launch of a collectible virtual kitties platform was a headline in major international vehicles covering crypto-coin issues. The reasons? The kitties caused such a furor that it attracted thousands of fans. In addition, the game is the first successful application in the Ethereum network unrelated to crypto-coins, and such adherence has caused a high pressure on the digital currency network, which has caused delays in transactions. CryptoKitties is an online game that debuted on November 28. In a short time, the smart contract became the most popular of the Ethereum network, accounting for 11% of all network transactions, according to ETH Gas Station.

Such projects show the frivolity of the crypto currency. Is this the same revolution? What kind of cats for the broadcast? They also take a place in the network!

As if 2017 hasn't been weird enough, now we have CryptoKitties. It's a game that involves digital kitties, cryptocurrency and millions of dollars. It's built off the Ethereum blockchain platform, and it's a craze sweeping the internet.The virtual cats are cute, sure, but—somehow—can also prove incredibly valuable (at least for now).

I think this is the most ridiculous thing in the world! Ethereum splashes into the web. Because of them, I have to pay 70 gwei to send Ethereum.

Has anyone got these crypto kitties?  

In another way the only crypto kitties that already built working platform based on dapps. How so many another project are not still successful to build the dapps in the ethereum platform. Another platform like lisk just tried with their SDK but it's gonna fail. Waves try to build NLG to develop dapps. How these dapps will become a trend in the future.
But remember about that needs a bestt scalability option just like what already did by bitshares as the most scalability coin.

Virtual Cat, breed and sold them . I wonder what the world is turning to. What will one do with these cats, that is causing slow in our transactions.

So I signed up for cryptokitties and just blew .2 ETH trying to figure out what the hype is all about.  Well I can confirm now that it is a stupid as it sounds.

Humans! Now people are starting to get the real picture. Initially, what I have been hearing is that Ethereum is going to be a huge competition for bitcoin, Ethereum is faster and all that, now that the reality is kicking in, people are starting to change their opinions.

If an ordinary game can do this, I really imagine when the Ethereum network gets loaded with other games like this. It is not built for a huge stuff like this and that is something that should be worked on.

I have a problem to sent tokens and withdrawal token from the exchanges
I read some news that this cryptokitties cause the ethereum network is very busy.

They're virus on the blockchain

Crypto kitties is a kind of game where user can collect,trade,and breed virtual kittens using smart contract on the ethereum blockchain.All you have to do is buy some ether and use it to pay for your very first feline friend. Once you buy your first kitten, that transaction gets added into the blockchain as a permanent receipt of your purchase.

I think they should implement Raiblocks XRB with zero fee's and instant transactions I believe these currencies can handle the network load.

Why would I get one? This is one useless addition to the Ethereum network. This is not even a fun invention. A pure waste of time. Well, this is a free world so everybody has the choice of what they would want to do with their lives. They can breed as many crypto kitties as they want. The problem however is that it is clogging the Ethereum network. Withdrawals and deposits are delayed because of these kitties.

The news that you read was correct because of this cryptokitties the etherium network became busy/slowly you cannot deposit your tokens and even withdrawal the eth based token this is really annoying. The Developer of Etherium need to resolve this issue if this problem cannot fix as soon as possible the value of etherium will be drop down slowly.

Wow, they are simply adorable. But very costly. I wonder, how much this game already made so far

any examples for crypto kitties?

Are the cats still slowing down the network? etherscan.io has some nice charts to look at data since september when the cats were born

I've noticed a lot of anger, frustration, and confusion towards CryptoKitties in the daily thread over the last few days (along with plenty of joy, wonder, and excitement).

For those who don't understand and/or lack the imagination, pretend for a moment that the ERC 721 tokens which represent all the individual kitties on the blockchain didn't represent cats at all. Imagine, instead, that they represented:

loot items in World of Warcraft
rare cards in online collectible card games
plots of land in Arizona
corporate stocks from Fortune 100 companies that trade on NASDAQ or the NYSE
Does that make more sense to you now? People aren't necessarily excited about the actual cats themselves, they're excited by the endless possibilties that this demonstrates.

Go look at the online marketplace they've created. Look at the user interface. Fire up your imagination and envision a world where 'digital drawings of cats' are just one of the many, many, MANY assets being traded in the Ethereum eco-system.

THIS is precisely what gives Ether its value: the ability to create, tokenize, and trade things on the blockchain. And this is the reason that CryptoKitties was deployed to the Ethereum blockchain and NOWHERE ELSE -- not Bitcoin, not Dash, not ETC (lol ETC). If you're mad about CryptoKitties, you're missing the whole point -- this isn't a distraction from the price, this is exactly the reason that ETH rose 5000% over the past year.

Yes, it's silly and it's goofy, but it's a proof of concept. It demonstrates to the world what is currently possible, RIGHT NOW, in the Ethereum eco-system. ETHEREUM, and nowhere else. It's not about the cats, it's about the future potential of the whole protocol.

This is some crazy, because of these crypto-kittens is slowed by erc20! What's happening? Why this?)

Actually, the system getting back to normal as they find ways to fix unlike previous days which the cause slowing the system. Crypto kitties is a cartoon kittens as unique digital Pokemon cards. This kitties' has unique features having DNA can lead to four billion possible genetic variations.The price of cryptoKitty is approximately $23.06 (£17.19), according to Crypto Kitty Sales. This kind of game can earn while you playing and many features that makes everyone of us enjoy and comfortable to use.

Well said. Good post.

I also agree with the fact that CryptoKitties have slowed down strongly transactions, however, good sides can not be denied either. This game has brought even more popularity to the ETH. When problems with the load of small transactions will be solved, the price will grow very much.

cryptokitties is messing with our ethereum platform recently, developers of this game created digital cats online based on ERC20 and sell them to us to make profit, this is a great idea but this game is slowing the platform down, makes more delay transactions.

They're the reason the ethereum network is becoming as slow and expensive as the bitcoin network right now.

Thanks for your reply! I hope with erc20 everything will be fine, I will try to buy a pair of cats for breeding!)

Is there some link where I can get more info about this game? I am not referring to there official site(I read that already) but some game tips from people that are already playing.

   I am also not sure what they are, except they are collectibles which you can breed to get more beautiful or more expencive. But what I want to say I strongly beleive that not strangers really bought kitties for 250 eth or so, owners did it to attract more people and big ethereum ammounts

Though the Game is not very interesting to play but profitable to play, we all cannot take away the rights of everybody to be angry at that game. For which traders are affected in a worst way. Their transaction is very slow and it demands a large amount of GWEI to process normally. So in the side of traders they cannot enjoy the trades as of now, because of CryptoKitties clogging the system due to its transaction. Though they are expressing frustrations, anger, and confusion, bear with them because they can only express their feelings through posting and showing anger towards that game. So in short, I agree that hte game brings important things to ETH and boosting the value, but it also creates problems for the traders for now. But the management of ETH is fixing it now, so i guess everything will be back to normal soon.

Is this mania at least slowing down or its picking more momentum? Cant understand how can they reach such a high value.

I really doubt that is the case, maybe in some cases cause every transaction needs to be payed so in that way they lose money

I have heard that it is a viral game, causing the eth network to clog, at the same time I think that no game should be able to congest a serious project like etherum on this scale.

This cryptokitties is the reason's why eth network become congested. Imagine before we can start a transactions we need to set more gwei than the normal transactions. Im also wondering that it become huge value, hope they can resolve this issues to normal transactions.

For two days this topic became very popular and received about 15 thousand views. It's funny. Cats got in to the world of crypto currency))) I think soon this project will also be quickly forgotten by community. Or maybe we should create a Kittiecoin?)))

Great post, I think this sums it all  up nicely..

I too, at first, was kinda mad, wondering what this silly thing was that's clogging up the network and stuffing up my trades.
After doing some research and hearing that people are making literally thousands in Ether off these things, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to find out what it was all about. I've now been glued to the Kitties for the last 2 days and must say, its actually really cute and addictive.

It has also been a great way to introduce Ethereum to my teenage stepkids. They've been helping me buy and sell Kitties all afternoon so it gave me a good chance to teach them about how the Ether wallet works and how to set the gas price etc. I think this is great for introducing crypto to new people who would otherwise feel daunted by it.

Anyway, I'm almost ashamed to say that I've spent 0.2 ETH today on digital kitties but I'm trying my luck at breeding some good ones..
We'll see how it goes  :D ;)

How does one get the first kitten? Dont everyone start with one? Do i need to buy one? :(

Crypto-seals are crazy for the etherium network. They have already brought up the etherium network and continue to do so. Someone naturally earns on this. And I think that if this happens, it means that someone needs it.

If you want to buy a kitty you have to install MetaMask first and than create an account at CryptoKitties. Of course you will need ETH to buy kitty, you will need it also for every other transaction. 

You can try to start with one kitty but they recommend to start with two so you can  breed them.

Yes that's a game crypto kitties that's what I read in a google news last week and I really curious of how does it work in bitcoin. and if it is available in android device that we can easy use it.

I red somewhere it is not available for android or IOS

I think this crypto kitties reveal one of the weakness of ethereum network.  More of this kind will make the value of ethereum lower and worst may become zero.

Crypto kitties is the world first blockchain games. In the game you collect and trade kitties I am really skeptical about the game as is ask you for your ethereum private keys

I just know, many people are talking about this site Crypto kitties that make Ethereum network slow so all transactions take long confrimation. I do not know why this game so very influential of Ethereum. And i think its bad for Ethereum later.

 LOL. It is the game. Playing it you even can learn more about blockchain. However, I think it is insane to deal with this game and dive into it seriously. Some guys buy these cats for hundreds of ETH!

Who in their right mind is paying 250 eth for a digitally drawn cat? What's going on in this world  ;D.

I didnt check out this kitty game and wont do so, but if they ask for your private key, you definitely should not give it to them. This is the most stupid thing that one could do and this could/ will end up in all your funds stolen. Its good that you are being suspicious! But to be honest I cant believe that they are asking for the private key, otherwise this would have been tagged as a massive scam already but so far I didnt read something like this yet. They might ask for the public key to connect your wallet to your account on their website, but for what would they need the private key? Would make no sense in my opinion.

well i just tryed to buy some cryptokitties but metamask is stuck in transactions or something , the kittiesite keeps saying that i still not own any kittie , that metamask is and was not my thing , still the deposits to metamask works flawless

It seems to be adults, cryptotraders and such a stupid occupation that also loads the broadcast network, unfortunately

Being the simple game on the blockchain, actually the first one in this market, CruptoKitties will become the real marker for the blockchain usability!
Many Projects claims to be the worldwide but only a few of them will give the things go in the right mode after this game launch.
And for now we have the biggest network in the world is clogged by the simple CryptoKitties app.

Kitties made me wait for a day to get a smallish transaction through. Hope this is the last idea of this kind on Ethereum.

Why didn't they do a special coin just for Cryptokittens? Now, they are going to devaluate ETH. THey are going to lose money too if ETH is devaluated. It is like they are DDos ETH.

It is not about kittens! People just love new ideas, new and fresh money and there is one thing about being an early adopter.

Yeah! It is a world fill with different opportunities and crypto kittens’ game brought and opportunity for people to have fun and be earning a lot even in the process. It is frustrating for sure the way it affected the whole Ethereum network, but it is good it has happened now so the devs won't be too relaxed.

I think this Cryptocurrencies is not good, why they dont make their blockchain, and dont make Ethereum overload. Is there any solution for Ethereum?

Sell ETH and buy other coins. ETH is no good now.

it is a game developed on the ethereum blockchian which is consuming more than 15% of ethereum blockchain making the ethereum transactions slow and expense because people are using higher gas for transaction

Crypto kittie is a very smart project. To earn money in general on anything. Of course they completely hammered the ethereum transaction channel, and many are unhappy, I'm very angry as well. But it can not be denied that this is something new. This is the popularization of the ethereum. This will definitely affect the price increase. But Vitalik needs to work harder ....

When people buying ETH on Exchanges are going to send their ETH to their wallets and that they discover that they can't send ETH to their wallets, they are going to sell them very fast.

This is even worse than tamagochi (or when in childhood he collected behemoths from the kinder - for these, you also have to pay money ...

Not only can you do less with them , then with tamagotchi but they are also 1000 times more expensive.

Please, anyone. Shoot down these cats. Because of this game, there are big problems with ethereum transactions that prevent me from working

You're a buckler. How can you treat the poor animals like that?  ;D

Why have not these problems been fixed yet? Already the whole Internet just groans that nothing is possible to buy and sell. I'm not ready to pay much gas for an expensive transaction. Maybe in the future it's good there for development, I do not know. But for me and at this second this is shit.

These are virtual cats. If you are such an animal protector, buy yourself a live cat and live with it

This is very horrible with kitty things. They blocked the network of blockchain. They cause thousands of transactions on ethereum blockchain and this is very bad for ethereum. We can't perform transactions as you see now.

Paid 60 and I am still failing my transactions.
Damn kitties.
This needs resolving and they have to do it fast or they will be losing most of their investors.
They are just on hold right now because of the large amount needed with the fees but after that what could be the ending of this.
They will need to answer questions why and what happened. Is it really the damn kitties?

Some devil or satan has invented the Crypto kittes and don't know why people are so stupid to buy some images with real money it is just ridiculous. They destroyed the eth...

I learned about these crypto kittens at work. Ordinary employees who do not have bitcoins at all and are not interested in what is happening there on the market, discussed these cats and raised the amount of gas to 140 per 1 small transaction. What happens at all? I wanted to say to them: what are you doing? But they also increased the amount of gas so as not to wait for a long time to mate the cats. I have no words, only a shock.

I am not too familiar with this crypto kitties. I am also in need of some information snd understanding regarding this matter. Need also to discover whre cryto kitties are.

I.e. we have to pay more for transactions because of sex of the crypto cats!!! I can't believe

So this is the caused ETH transaction keep pending over time,, i really wonder about this, so the name is cryptokitties, well it good enough idea to sold the kitties with 250 ETH, but it affected to whole world ETH transaction. this problem need to be look forward.

It s a game where you buy kitties, breed them and than sell if you wish. But its strange that you don`t have male or female kitties they can turn to what sex you choose and breed a new kitty.

Is that true? Thanks for the information. I guess i am not that updated with the daily news. I need to learn about this and how does it affect our transaction.

I think crypto kitties is a bidding system and a bifurcate system based on Ethernet. Then it gives people playability in the form of games. I think this is a good form of Ethernet application. But at the moment because of this game, the Ethernet trade is very congested. So it's time to improve the speed of Ethernet trading. Otherwise, if there are more applications like this. The Ethernet network is expected to collapse. At present, the crypto kitties bubble is very much not recommended to buy.

Cryptokitties price seems to be falling quite quickly right now, and the fees to breed/sell/sire are very high... But i think the game achieved something that will bring a lot of positives for the ethereum  network in the future. It has shown us the potential that blockchain has, even for collectible games like this one.

For my own understanding, Cryptokittys has been created to adjust the price of gas limit. Due to this it happens that eth transaction facing problems were transaction is getting slow and to make that transaction to be success you need to increase your gas limit. This issue is really frustrating because many are affected including me. Hope the Dev will adjust this fee.

So much kitties clogging the EThereum system. I cant trade in etherdelta for several now, also on some major exchanges. I made  an investment in one ICO but fees are too high. This must be addressed by the Ethereum Development team, they are losing support and many are already complaining with the system. Millions are lost in trading.

If only one game based on a block chain can deal a big blow to the network, what happens when there are several such games.

i have no idea what cryptokitties, but whatever the cryptokitties are, if they are the reason why the blockchain is very slow at the moment. they must get out of the blockchain, as in today. but that only me., this is only my opinion.

It's a cat game like the Tamagotchi but it based on blockchain games.

Thanks to cryptokitties i missed my investment and pay the fee for nothing because they kept spamming and made my transaction failed over and over again.

Cryptokitties was another eye opener on how the Ethereum blockchain can't handle massive transaction that decongested and slowed down the blockchain where many transaction was bogged down with this non-sense stupid virtual cats. Now we know this is how ethereum was weak.

I was wondering about that myself,is assumed that these types of developments should have foreseen that kind of details,although these limitations mean that developers quickly will find a solution to that to enable more capabilities in such developments or applications.

  Why so? they just have two wallets and sent eth from one wallet to another

It's perfectly showcasing the vulnerability of the current ethereum network, maybe this is only the beginning.

This is another reason why we need scalability to actually use blockchain. FAB has technology to increase transaction speed thousands times. please check www.fa.biz

I agree this shows what is not yet seen. I wonder what ETH network is up to now to fix this congestion do you guys thinks lightning network will help?

I think, on the contrary, crypto kitties helped Ethereum, showing the vulnerability of blockchain.

I think the situation with cryptokitties showed the weak points of the ether and that it's time to improve and scale the network..

I don't even know about that I know that Vitalik is one of the cause why Ethereum keeps slowing. Maybe this is the first thing they need to do to resolve the problem of their eth network. So devs should pay attention with this matters.

Selling a chic gold cryptokittie! Excellent option for starting , rare characteristics: salmon (14.6%), gold (7.1%), peach (3.6%). Very important note - the cat is clean as a white sheet, like a tear, the most virgin cat on the site! Sell ​​a cat at the most pleasant price at the moment, do not miss your chance!
www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/218466

I will not be surprised if there is a cryptocoyote devouring all the cryptokitties, still I find this phenomenon quite intriguing. ;D ;D ;D

The ether network gradually comes to life, after a shock from seals. In any case, I have transfers from 4 gwei. Really fixed a problem, or interest in kittens is lost?

crypto kitties are very interesting. kitties have genotypes and phenotypes, and you can breed kitties with each other to get offsprings with different genetic traits. Some traits may be rare and make the kitties more valuable. gen0 kitties are the only ones with no parents.

the kitties are made with erc 721 non-fungible tokens, so each kitty is its own unique token. they're almost like beanie babies, except that kitties have a provable level of rare-ness. I think they're like beanie babies 2.0

But I like the cryptokitties.
A lot of news about them read.  ::)
They picked up a lot of HYPE. Even saw ICO, which gives kittens (if you do not believe https://goo.gl/cwxd52)
Cryptokitties funny project in general  :)

I'm in love with this game. Earned decent amount of ethers just by breeding and selling those kitties.   :D

Good for you. Any advice? I manage to sell just one kitty, and after that, I couldn't even see them on the market.
The network is slow and I'm not sure if my information's are limited or the game rules are absurd. 
There is no market price for any cat, there is no information what cat is special and why, yes, there is a list of cattributes, but I really don't see the connection between that and overpriced cats.
Also, every transaction needs to be payed, even if you are canceling sale that reached final price after the time is up. Also, if you want to breed your own cats, you have to pay for it.
The game is designed for creators to earn as much as possible.

When will it all stop ? And transactions come to pass? now transaction is very terrible and the price for a large transaction

This game really became popular and frankly speaking, I thought that the price for the etherium would decrease, due to transaction delays and the network reboot. But as we see everything has happened on the contrary, the price has risen, and it's good.

no one buy my kitty...gen 0...so sad

What is the price of your kitty? How much money did you spent for buying one?

also saw this giveaway.
cats look funny
look
https://image.prntscr.com/image/evN4mqEHTT2ndRw9pPRV5g.png

yeeep, real funny ;D ;D ;D

I saw an article that it is a game. You can breed your digital kitties and sell it. It is also the reason why the ethereum blockchain got clogged.

I know the cryptokitty because it made the Etherium network very crowded, and some ICO projects has to be delayed. But it is a good news to ETH holders since the price is growing.

For me this is the second madness after doge coin. Doge was the first madness in crypto history and still goes on.
And Kitties will go on for years. Ethereum network getting slower day by day cause of kitties.

Although the platform got clogged, I'm happy that cryptokitties got so popular, cuz it helped Ethereum get more popular. Thus the price is going up in last weeks. It's great for all ethers owners.

The game itself is very much exciting. Which is why it was able to garner that amount of traffic to Ethereum Network. Although I'm yet to try it out but the reviews from others are top notch

so this is the famous kitties that always been mentioned here in forum,and
the reason why the blockchain has this kind of congestion.maybe sooner there will
be CRYPTODOG or CRYPTO BIRDIE?what the hellos wrong with this guys.dont they
know how trouble is happening to crypto now.

Thanks your info! But breed and sell them very difficult at this time
for me! This is only a game in blockchain to test and buiding other games apps

Same situation on here which i do already set by default on having a 50 gwei gas on each transactions i do made on Delta but sometimes it pissed me when it errors.I dont know whats the reason but it is really such a waste of money and one of the reason is for sure is that cryptokitties game which you would breed and sell em off depending on breed.Prices are insane and i dont know on whats the basis of such pricing even reaching out unbelievable ranges which i cant really think off to pay just for a single breed of cat. 8)

It's like a tamagochi but with breeding different rare kittens and exchanging them mostly for some amount of ETH. People says it's exiting and if you're a collector then it's your type of a game 100%. But don't loose all your savings on it!

Lol, it`s just code, just pictures on the screen, it`s not art or useful coin. Tamagochi for big boys  ;D. Saving money in Kitties... sounds funny.

yeah it also destroy the ethereum blockchain. it is a game that you can breed and trade kitties using ethereum based contracts. This is related to the super rise of the bitcoin.

Crypto kitties? Quite a fun game and can really get you some dough. The thing is. Because of this game, i couldn't invest on my favorite ICOs and tokens that are about to get hyped. Lost a whole variety of chances for profit because of these crypto kitties. But all in all. It is a pretty smart project. Kudos for the developers. It made a big noise. Enough to make other people outside of the crypto world to hear it and spark curiosities.

ETH network congestion slowing payouts at pools and exchanges right meow.

It didn't make me laugh though I can see how people would try to invest in something that may or may not work.

This cryptokitties makes network trouble most transactions take time to process. I dont know why it is created it is not well form. It brought users to complain in the network problem.

network seems to have improved and i no longer see Crypto kitties transactions was the game shut down? Maybe the crypto dogs chased the kitties ;D

I think its good this crypto kitties game got to put the eth platform to the test, which showed the network needed some twerking and also gives the eth devs an opportunity to improve the ethereum platform for better usage in the future.

It's the proof some people make such a ridiculous amount of money they don't mind spending it in stuff like this. I guess in thet way it helped a little bit with redistribution of crypto wealth, despite making etherdelta struggling for days.

 ;D
It seems that the guys reacted quite quickly.
I think that in the near future we will see many more interesting things related to cryptokitties  :D

They buy kitties and sell it for a lot of money, and slow down ethereum blockchain)

Digital cats that you can breed, which turn into other unique digital cats and can be sold for more money later.. clogged up the blockchain for a few days, created congestion to the ethereum network and delayed transactions   ;D

We don't want anymore digital cats. We want fast ether transactions, we want fast blockchain in ethereum. We want fast token transfers. That's all. We don't need games in this expensive industry.

I'm probably only one who does not yet have a crypto cat.
It seemed - that it was necessary either to go in early December, or it is better not to go. But it is interesting to observe from the outside, the first really massive project, so many people are not stuffed into the ICO.

Caution! Don't touch kitties - highly addictive!  ::)

This is a silly game which has become fashionable on Ethereum and it has managed to crash the platform, thus proving its huge limitations.

It will only get worse as more people code similar games.

You might want to check it out. I think they do have a website. As I have research on it, Cryptokitties are like games that is made for blockchain tech. It is when you buy a cat with the use of ethereum. Actually you can sell or trade it by breeding them but you have to install some metamask on your computer or phone or the likes to get you started. It's like grooming a pet playing with it at the same time earning from it. Visit their site for more.Unfortunately I forgot the website address. My friend have alread tried it but commented it is way to technical.

Maybe things like this are needed to push everything to the next level in a much faster pace, forcing them to solve it.

Just imagine how shitty one platform is when a single project has impact on it.

i have friend who bought some kitties because its became in demand lately,he also said you can breed this one.But these kitties affects the eth market thats why the gas was very high.

It is quite famous recently, in crypto kitties you have to breed kittens then afterwards sell them. They say that way back when WE had been clogged, this is one of the reason.

I had to pay a lot of money for transactions, it seems that this game was specially invented.

It's a game built within ethereum and it uses blockchaint technology of course. It caused so much problem on ethereum network at first. People had to wait like hours because this game slowed down the network like hell. That network problem caused ethereum to lose some value then.

The new CryptoKitties alternative is in pre-launch, it's called FishBank (referred users get a bonus fish, pay it forward: http://my.fishbank.io/go/5722), as silly as things are they do attract a LOT of attention and prices inevitably go up,

I personally can't see why the popularity exists, especially in crypto but we should probably try and ride the wave!

How much for a fish? I think I'll do it just for the shits and Grins. :)

I seem to have sold a Crypto Kitty last week (email went in my spam folder). Apparently, there are still kitties being bought.

I think that soon will be a new wave of HYPE for Crypto kitties. It happens very often that the HYPE subside and someone buy up everything cheaply and then throw in some information reason and the HYIP resumes again. Therefore, it is better to wait a little, than to sell off acquired cheaply.

Crypto kitties they are still live? hmm need to check mine, this stuff was hyped some about month ago, and i dont hear any new news about it for some while.

I do not know if this is true, but I dont think so.
Well, it is unlikely that someone would have paid for a crypto cat 250 etherium.
But now the ether network lies and cost gas increased 2 times

And remember the Pokemon GO, what was the hype. And then the kittens, and even for the crypto currency. Naturally this idea was accepted with delight. Only now the excitement has already subsided and we saw the inconsistency of the ethereum network, when the fluffy kittens could bring it down in a very short time.

I think now Crypto kittie do not attractive! So price of kittie down! Need more works to grown up! I have somes kitty in my ETH address! But emtry money!

Crypto Kitties on Telegram

https://t.me/joinchat/E7_gJQ_CdzNqodRhuNVrhw

Debate everything Crypto Kitties... transaction fee, network speed, breeding cost,  Gen:0, Ethereum platform, etc

I don't know much about that, but as long as i heard, it's some kind of game that can give you eth? Not sure yet.
It's kinda weird name though, combining cat and crypto lol i almost laugh the first time i saw that.

They have a active telegram group and also a active Discord channel, most of the fan base seems to be from China and surrounding areas, it got a crazy amount of attention and some "headlines" prices that might have been for "show" but it shows what is possible and  how ERC tokens can be used, but it has also drawn attention to the ETH Blockchain and how it suffered from congestion which led to very slow transaction confirmations and a big increase in Gas fees.

I am sure from this, ETH will have learned a lot and will be looking at ways to lighten the load on the chain.

I heard that in this project it is now hard to start newcomers to play because of the large entrance threshold, will the problem be solved?

CryptoKitties is now preinstalled on the htc u12+

Crypto kitties is a  blockchain game that where you buy virtual kitties, train them and sell them.

I think this is a useless project, just load the ETH network. My morning trading has not yet done, it is terrible. These are simple pictures on the screen ...

Well, I don't know about it either, but I like kitties, just like  everybody likes is too, I will give it a look later. Seems like if you have a bit luck, you can get some expensive kitties.

I don't have a clue on what is this, but I believe that it is like a virtual game that you can purchase any kittens by the price of ethereum. I think, this game, causes the ethereum network a major clogged in those days, considering the gwei reaches to 100.

I remember those times when cryptokitties was a very big hype. Approximately all of my friends were involved in this game, and it affected the speed of Ethereum a lot, cause this platform was not ready for this. But the hype died soon and all of my friends forgot about it as a nightmare :)

Just an unnecessary game on ethereum blockchain. When they were first announced, ethereum blockchain became very busy. I do not want a technology like blockchain to be used for games.

CryptoKitties will unveil an art exhibit at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany today. The exhibit, "Bringing Blockchain to Life," will showcase the inner workings of blockchain technology in real-time. Adorable digital cats are expected to be a dominant feature in the work. :-)

You should need to look at it. I figure they do have a site. As I have investigate on it, Cryptokitties resemble amusements that is made for blockchain tech. It is the point at which you purchase a feline with the utilization of ethereum. As a matter of fact you can offer or exchange it by rearing them however you need to introduce some metamask on your PC or telephone or the likes to kick you off. It resembles prepping a pet playing with it in the meantime procuring from it. Visit their webpage for more.Unfortunately I overlooked the site address. My companion have alread attempted it however remarked it is approach to specialized.

I am new in the dapp market, have been doing some research on CryptoKitties and found this: https://www.dapp.com/blog/why-cryptokitties-biggest-fad-in-blockchain-gaming/

That is true, it is a innovated game that you own and pet your kitties and mate them to have a good race. And when someone is interested in your kitties, it will be sold via ethereum transaction. It is the first successful game of ethereum based.

It is the first blockchain based game. I have heard about it as well, and I still cannot believe in the fact, that people have bought kitties for more than 300 Ethereum. It is just amazing, and maybe a good investment opportunity.

They are so popular last year I remember one time they are the caused of ethereum transaction clogging still popular I remember buying two of these and sold it for a small profit, you have to spend time here and study the best combination and always check the auction.

It's all very amusing. There must be some entertainment on the blockchain. In addition, this can make good money. But we had to start from the very beginning of the launch of such games, because now it makes no sense to start.

at that time there was a very strong boom in this game and it’s quite normal that some people earned very good money on it

In my opinion, the most important thing that this project did was that it showed many people that the network of ethereum was very slow. I hope that the developers of ethereum began to work faster on their platform.

crytpo kitties i have never haerd of them and you got me durprised here actually so i am looking forward for the explanation

hah well ok that was funny but why did they get themselves such a unusual name i think taht few people will yake them seripusly

This is a very dreaded game and this is the first time I see them. I think this is one of the most crazy games ever produced. Why do we have to spend so much money to buy a cat and breed? that's unblievable.

I think that this is an ordinary game that today has very good opportunities to still have the opportunity for development in the field of blockchain, because today they still have great opportunities for playing blockchain

I don't understand the mentality of those buying these Kitties. I mean what are they hoping for? Well never mind, those Kitties Devs are millionaires right now.

At the moment, we are watching how the popularity of not only kittens, but also the entire cryptocurrency as a whole falls. I don't even know what will happen to this project.

Every time I look at what's happening there, I start thinking about a cult. People worship them, give them their money... The cult of clean water.

I think it was the first crypto game a la Tamagochi. There were a lot of celebrities involved and a cat made by Ilon Mask was sold for over 100 Ethereum. Its crazy and I do not see any potential growth in blockchain games.

why do you think they are dangerous? have you read this:
https://hackernoon.com/video-games-and-cryptocurrencies-a-perfect-marriage-ce91d7ab738f

This is one of the abnormalities i see that happen to cryptocurrency. I could remember what happened then, where these same crypto kitties cause a clog in ethereum network and by virtue of that, increased the cost of transaction.

Cryptokitties is the first popular Dapp on the Ethereum blockchain, maybe that is why rare kitties cost too much.

there's not much to cryptokitties tbh. you breed cats is really dumb. you get in on early cats. but, so what? almost all kitties are selling for the same. in fact, theres so many kitties now with zero price tag it makes me think the whole thing was just a scam. there's no "Game". it's not even a very good collectors site. it's boring af. and frickn expensive. you wanna try out some buyers remorse. if they put value into the kitties like even a number so you could play them, it would still suck, but theres no game at all. maybe, unless, we are the game. o ffs.

There is a similar game on the Ethereum blockchain, just about crystals. The principle is almost the same. Only in the end is the hunt for rare gems. A game for fans to collect. If you want you can see: https://cryptocrystal.io/

they are useless ETH overpriced shit, which their chain won't be even able to handle lol.

kekdaq.com is doing it right and will dominate trading market of rare pepes and the like.  8)

most importantly, thanks to this project, we all saw the weaknesses of the Ethereum blockchain. one decentralized application caused congestion in the ETH network. This is ridiculous  ???

Just as cryptokitties non-fungible Crown (CRW) platform is about to launch its own NFT solutions directly on its network but for multiple applications, such as the ability to create DApps by NFT framework APIs with non-fungibility utility like cryptokitties or for example copyright protection and smart contract it is on the source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=815487.msg52416874#msg52416874

What about NFTs on the ETH network that hosts cryptokitties? Could we unblock the bottleneck via Crown CRW by creating cryptokitties 2.0 directly on their network?

Cryptokitties is a blockchain-based virtual game that enables players to embrace, raise, and exchange virtual felines. The game was made by Vancouver based blockchain organization Axiom Zen. Nonetheless, what is really imperative to recall is this is the principal known utilization of DAPP for relaxation and amusement.
Offers of Cryptokitties have experienced the rooftop. Individuals have spent in excess of twelve million dollars purchasing these cryptokitties. There are even reports of individuals who have made more cash exchanging cyptokitties than putting resources into their IRA!

This is one way to earn money. Many people were able to make good money on it. This is an application where you can breed cats and then sell them. As far as I know.

Yes. I think this is according to what they bought. F1 cars with high prices. Different from the topic of discussion about kitties. The function is smaller, only people like to maintain it, and there is no physical function contained in it.

It's been a long time since the project was launched. Hyip on crypt kitties is not gone yet? Does anyone else sell kittens for 250 eth? What reviews can you give about that game? I was looking for the opinion of ordinary people, but here https://revain.org/blockchain-games/cryptokitties, for example, I found a few reviews only.

Damn I feel so bad to have fallen for this when this was all over the internet during the boom. I wish I didn't fall for this fomo ofakinf money and invested in some sensible project.

I laughed so hard

That's a game actually where  kitties are being buy & sell for Ethereum. It influences ether network. That's the reason, can't transfer any token without giving high fees. A lots of transactions are still pending  for not giving high fees, only for Cryptokitties

Crypto Kitties are Non-fungible tokens and that is what makes each Kitty special. Non-fungible tokens can be likened to items or assets of that look alike or appears the same but with different properties. Hence, one item cannot replaced another although they appear the same. Example is aeroplane ticket -  they appear the same but with different numbers and codes. Due to the unique properties of each crypto kitty, each have a unique growth pattern, hence attains a unique value with time.

Big update, CryptoKitties goes Flow:
- New look – now animated!
- Free to play and easy onboarding
- New collector mechanics
- Upgradable, extensible smart contracts
- Scalable composability for developers

unfortunately, i have subscribed to this project and tried so many times to play the game but failed due to issues with the smart contract. it was a top quality project when it came  out first but failed to meet target. i doubt if the kitties token has been on the exchanges. the point is where can we trade the crypto kitties token and has their been any update on the project. it is similar to Dogdata.

Maybe you would wonder but Cryptokitties is the most successful Ethereum DApp. It seems like a joke, but the idea behind it makes it valuable. Imagine that you can have a kitty, that is unique and noone else in the world could have same. Would you buy it? Probably yes ;).

you can trade the kitties e.g. here:

can you drop links to ads? It would be interesting to read. I've seen huge amounts of money being sold for cats. They were thoroughbred and participated in specialized exhibitions. I do not know what they sell us for 250 ethereums, but I think this cat should be able to mine))))

According to me personally, it seems that Crypto-seal is another way to make money. Although judging by the way they suspended the etherium network, it can be assumed that this was an act planned on purpose by someone.

I started a year ago buying a crypto cat and have bred and still take care of it to this day, it's actually an interesting game if we really take care of it, but unfortunately with high fuel costs I can't buy and sell my cat.

Meow all the way it is.. Earn, play, nurture, and have fun too! Wayyyyy to go digital!

Cryptokitties is like a game, where you buy kitties, breed them and possibly sell them in the future at a higher price, in the near future, you will be able to use your kittie to challenge other kitties to a battle of fight to death, where if you luckily win, you and your supporters will share a money pool of up to $50 000 in KTY and ETH.

Honestly speaking I don't get the point of this game, just all I can see with it, that this type of game has a similarity to Pokemon :D
or it could be like a game of Tamagochi if I am not mistaken, but in fairness, the image of the crypto kitties are so cute when I checked them on the link you gave mate.

I heard its this kind of game where you start with this avatar of a kitty and then you breed it. It started back in 2018 and apparently everyone went crazy for and somehow it caught on and its worth a lot depending on the rarerity.

It's a game on the ethereum platform. The cats are bred and have a unique value, they are ERC721 NFT.
This movement of collecting and raising cats has been around for a long time and brings a lot of value to players. Some cats are worth thousands of ETH.
Currently, the trend of collecting NFTs is emerging, and possibly in the future, NFTs will be more popular.

NFTs have become a trend in the future. Blockchain will be closer to the real world, the future of real-world artworks, items, and utensils that can be encrypted on the blockchain using NFT.
There will be many NFT game apps in their program. SAND has now held a sale of in-game real estate. I think NFTs make blockchain more unique, we can create unlimited. There will be more blockchains involved in NFT creation than just Ethereum right now.

More or less that is 100k$ to be sold. Is that cat really expensive in your place?

Cats here are just for free and you can adopt cats found in the streets. The government too will be happy if you also going to adopt a cat they had caught in the streets too. There are many of them and government could not kill all of them instead they will be place or will be given to people wanting to get pet. I too had a cat pet before but did not get interest on them that muc because they got rabies when it bit you surely you will going to pay medical expenses.

CryptoKitties is a blockchain game on Ethereum created by Axiom Zen that permits players to buy, gather, breed and sell virtual cats.It is perhaps the most punctual endeavor to send blockchain innovation for amusement and leisure.The game's ubiquity in December 2017 clogged the Ethereum organization, making it arrive at an unsurpassed high in number of exchanges and backing it off essentially.

Cryptokitties is a game uses ethereum’s smart contracts to enable trades between owners of the kitties. And its first shot into limelight was in the last t November after traffic from its users flooded ethereum’s blockchain. The game involves breeding of digital cats to generate progeny that become valued collectibles. Kitties are purchased using ether, ethereum’s native token.

While the era of crypto kitties seem to be well and truly behind us after the bull run in 2018 there has been a lot of talk about Nft and gaming especially involving card games and collectibles.

You can say crypto kitties was the pioneer of this some years back but I am personally not a collector so don't follow it.

It all depend on your need and what your money can do to make you happy. If it means to spend for those collections then the worth of money is nothing compared to the happiness it brought to you when you get what you want. Because we have different needs and capabilities to get those needs then we should not discourage people to get involve in the things they like. For us usually the bounty hunter just need to earn to support daily needs so I guess supporting every project here to be successful is also like supporting every bounty hunter here in the forum.

How do you change your profile Nickname? The "save changes" option is faded out and is unclickable for some reason.

I first heard of them, until my link discovery and google simultaneously.
 bred cat and worth 250ETH, which is crazy, even though it's a cryoto cat it seems out of my imagination, maybe i'm not in this game :))

It's similar to rare pokemon cards but this is digital. Kitties were the first NFTs couple of years ago. I even bought some cheap ones. For me those prices are too big but still if someone is willing to buy we can't say anything agains it.

It is very difficult to understand the world of NFT. Seriously, even sometimes NFT buyers do not understand why they buy these figures, art, but they buy it, they like it.

Therefore, it seems to me that there is no strict rule according to which the NFT can be sold more expensive

is there an announcement that specifically discusses CryptoKitties, I've been looking for it but still can't find it or they don't have ann on botcointalk?
