I withdraw my coins from coinexchange to myetherwallet and nothing received. Coinexchange withdraw is successfuly completed with transaction hash,but hash not found on etherscan.

I got these message from coinexchange support team:
------------------------------------------------------------
It appears the withdrawal has successfully processed from our site.

The Ethereum network is currently congested so the transaction cannot be verified on the blockchain.

This is likely due to CryptoKitties.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to solve the issue.

Please be patient and check the Block Explorer at your discretion.

1. day is ago with no results.  What this meaning-CryptoKitties?

I never get my coins?

You'll get your coins, it's just that it was stuck due to Eth network congestion. CryptoKitties is a game built on Ethereum and the problem seems to occur due to the demand. Well, it's quite an interesting concept that people could collect and breed cats on the Blockchain, haven't tried though. This blog might help: CryptoKitties craze slows down transactions on Ethereum (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42237162)

Same here, i want to WD my token to hitbtc but transaction is pending until now...

I also experienced the same thing, this is really very annoying. Whereas some alt is pumping and I want to sell it to make a profit, this is obviously very detrimental to the traders. I think there is a problem in my network and device, this game is the cause.

Do you know how long eth network returns to normal?

CryptoKitties is the new mania - tamagotchi over blockchain based on ETH and it's totaly killed ETH in last 48 hours.
I can't do a single trade on EtherDelta due CryptoKitties.

Crypto kittens are virtual pets, breed and traine them and sell them for a higher price. If you dont want to be listed on pending increase the gas so that tokens will be delivered on your account immediately.

As long as there is no solution to this crypto kitties issue, there will be a constant backlog of transactions congesting the Ethereum blockchain. The only thing one can do is to set a higher gas price (gwei) and therefore get the transactions confirmed with priority. The problem with withdrawals from exchanges still would exist though because in most cases you cant choose the gas price yourself and they likely choose a low gas price to make maximum profit off the withdrawal fee. This thing really hurts traders.

I think you'll get your coins but it will be delayed upon receiving because of Crypto Kitties. This has caused major problems with Ethereums transactions and they can't resolve it. I think all you can do is wait and see if it does transfer in a couple of days.

lol, i thought bitcoin can only have these stuck transactions problem but im wrong because it now happened on the etherium network and that is because of cryptokitties that recently dominated the entire altcoin market. this is something that we should worry for because it is not funny anymmore to see that our transactions are still pending and stuck for over a day and might sit there for over a week if your unfortunate enough. but i guess this is just a temporary hype and all of a sudden it will then collapse and became obsolete because people will always find a way to replicate it and to have their own different versions simillar to this game.

They are getting annoying and clogging the Ethereum transactions in my account in MEW. I lose so much Eth on the transaction fees because it gives me error and finding out that it's all because of this CryptoKitties craze.

It is not a problem in myetherwallet OP but it is the Ethereum network. It is congested right now because of this Crypto Collectible game known as CryptoKitties. There are so many people using the network right now that it takes a lot of time for the transactions to get through. If the transaction is already established then sooner or later the coins will show in your wallet. It is just a little delayed. If you want to know more about cryptokitties. Check this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2524558.0

There are ICOs too that are having some problems because of this cryptokitties craze. Better set up your gas higher if you want your transactions faster and it would be more expensive though or if you have something urgent then you can convert to LTC for a much faster transaction and lesser fee.

nononono,I think my coins is lost....4 days now is over :'(
