What is actually happening with Ethereum network? It was not like 3-4 days before. What is this cryptokitties? Did they stop it? How long it takes for ethereum network to get back to normal state? I am so much worried.

Cryptokitties still there. They have increased gas to get first in line.

I have stopped all my transfers and wait for better network.

They will upgrade it and it will be fine. No need to worry about, guys are working on that

there needs to be an urgent solution to this problem

Crazy how something like this can cause a congestion of this scale in a non malicious way.

It's all the users that are causing their own problems..

this is some kind of madness. Some cats have put the network Ethereum. People buy cats for $ 120,000, and not even live ones, but ordinary pictures, just a nightmare. But the creators of cryptokitties, of course, well done, the idea of ​​a million; D

The ethereum network is relatively slow right now and not fast as before, transaction taking ages to confirm we all need urgent solution to this transaction backlogs

Dont worry they are fixing. Past also this type of traffic happended.
This arisen due to game the name is crypto kitties. They jam all the eth network.

They are upgrading sure.

Can similar thing like overloading network be used to harm network also (say some people with malicious goals )..?

There are rumours that alot of congestion is causing the delay. i don't play with ethereum but just telling u about the rumors that i heard.

taking much time for conformations. what is actually issue with network?

In my opinion Ethereum big problem if just one game could lead to failures in the network Ethereum.

Crypto kitties are the game which ethereum has released using d-app,which causes the problems in ethereum's network.

I am so sick of this eth network congestion have a lot to do on it. It sucks seriously fed up.

Ethereum's security breaches last time then this conjestion?looks like i need to dump my ethereum now.

I think this is a good moment which can open our eyes widely to see that eth network must do a significant improvement. How can something like CryptoKitties makes the network congested and got heavy traffic. 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.

This is crazy. But the craziest still eth network. Many people frustrated since their tx stuck, and some failed.

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.

It seems Ethereum needs  improvement.
I think Cryptokitties is just beginning, Imagine what will happen with Ethereum Network if more games like Cryptokitties will release.

Don't know, yesterday i was transfered some eth's, and it takes around 1-2min.

Kitties are killing the blockchain of ethereum thats what we are seeing now.
I hope they will fix this before ethereum dies.

I think eth will be stable despite the issues - Granted things are taking longer to come through but once the issue is rectified then everything should become smooth flowing!
