Is this just a short term fad or does it have a bright future?

I would assume it will be a fad but right now it is booming!

could you add original link to that tnx

https://www.cryptokitties.co
That is the link to the game that almost crippled the Ethereum network. It is really making some waves right now, so until it tends to start looking like a Fad, I won't mind paying some attention.

so the problem in ethereum right now because this game? there are to many pending transaction in ethereum network. this game is very booming right now, there to many people playing this game, i think thats why ethereum network have problem because this game based on ethereum network.

this information is perceived as advertising games or as a warning against the support of this project? if the render was built on the basis of the etherium, is it possible that the developers themselves are like this type of project and therefore there is nothing to worry about?

iam hate cryptokitty,
etherum network is problem because cryptokitty

This kittens will destroy ethereum in no time, pending transactions is one thing why eth users are mad.
Hopefully vitalik will make a move before eth price will go down deep.

And this is only the beginning ...
Soon there will be dozens of similar projects, and then the problems will be much more serious

It is alarming that if the capacity of projects is increased by eth, the network itself falls. Buterin needs to solve the problem more quickly or he will lose capitalization

Its a cute game i supposed but nothing different from other games connected with bitcoin, but the main problem is that the huge traffic its cause in the ethreum network which slow down a lot of transaction ever since it came live and now transaction has been canceled because the network is not moving at all.

This is the third thread I'm seeing regarding cryptokitty. It's most definitely just a fad just like pokemon and other games that were big for a while and then died down eventually.

I think cryptokitty will not get on the bright future that is coming. In addition to the devotees are not much, cryptokitty tend to be very low in value and levels of foreign

This stuff just needs to stop. Ethereum's network is overloaded.. this isn't good

I guess it's just a fad since the game is quite boring and players just got interested to have it to trade ,breed then sell in high price.Though it takes the world by storm,for me it's not so interesting game and a threat to ethereum network.

I'm pretty sure this is just hype and things will go back to normal again in some days.
Though, it's interesting to see what the Ethereum devs are about to do to solve the scaling problem. If ETH wants to become a global Player, it's now time to find a solution.

Ethereum network will explode in no time,  before  the day those  kitties started, ethereum is good until cryptokitties was  officialy launched ,problem has now started.And because of this cryptokitties some traders are pissed of they cant send and withdraw thier tokens .

wait till crypto-puppies come along........... ;D ;D ;D

This was I supposed to say which if a certain trend is booming then expect it would really be followed by similar concept but on a different name.




It do really sucks since ive been trading actively on erc20 tokens which the network is so overloaded when Cryptokitty thing did enter this market.

I just saw a rumor about this cryptotokitty, many say that Etherscan to be made up by this one token.

Then I tried to see the website, I see there is something that makes me interested in this project. Where the concept they have is very different from project projects that I have ever followed before.

maybe if there used to be tamagochi if you all know, this could be a revolution of tamagochi.Saya think that this project will be big in the future

We released an article, about Cryptokitty http://blog.doverie.click/chto-takoe-cryptokitty/. Welcome to the blog, discuss the news in the comments.

Before the launch of cryptokitty ethereum developers would have make sure that the system is strong enough to withstand mulitply transaction that will be generated by the game.

Im sure they didnt even expect that this thing would really become successful and been used up by many.So i say they didnt even bother to go or to have concern on possible outcome when it comes into this kind of situation.

Same here,i do have the same views on this with the similarities on what we do saw on tamagochi.

never underestimate the Cats power in internet  :D

The project of a crypto cats was invented by a genius.
undermined the entire broadcast network, well done - this is a real breakthrough in 2017
matchless game

This game showed the fact that the crypto currency is not yet ready for a large influx of users. We all want the whole world to accept the crypto currency, but we do not take into account the fact that this will lead to an overload of the network

Even if I got angry in last 2-3 days, we should see Cryptokitty as a test which ETH must pass. If ETH will be successful, there will nothing to be worry about it. Also, if ETH wont make it, we will understand that ETH is not good enough and we will try to search&find alternative currencies fastly.

These crypto cats have the future ?  ???

Is there any pre ann or ann topic at bitcointalk.org? Because i read that free kitty creation was only possible in early adaption period.

Someone made a great joke. I want to have my cryptokitties on my cryptoland and in my virtual reality lol... who is up to that idea ? :D

This thing is starting to be seriously annoying. ETH network has become useless because of some kitty game  :-\

but what is actually profit of this kitties?eth network keep busy coz this one.is this kitties so special?

It`s real headache for whole Ethereum Blockchain. What are fees now? Recommended Gwei - 42 (ETHGasStation). This is crazy, just a week ago it was possible to make transactions for 0.1 Gwei  :o

i just started to be interested in ETH trades and worried a bit about overload of chain but but
this cat thing looks good biz so far :)
according to BBC "The game's top cat brought in $117,712.12 (£87,686.11) when it sold on Saturday, 2 December."

network overload.time for ethereum vitalik to make improvements to ethereum to cope to this problem.evolution if i may say.

Pissed_of is an understatement. It's been 48hrs since I made a txn that yet to be confirmed. I don't really care if it's cats or dogs, 48hrs is just too much.

Seriously???!!! Who the hell pays that kind of money for an online kitty?

It's a good question you are asking. I guess this is the future we are seeing

Why ethereum developers not doing any upgradation on thier platform? Now ICO funding suffering for this. Me and My friend have 6 transaction pending since 2 days. The transaction hash even not found by etherscan.

This thing is making a buzz in the crypto world lately. ETH is in trouble.
I am hoping that this wont affect ETH that bad in the future.
Many are already hook to crytokitty.

I hope this is a temporary illness. Soon everything will be back. ETH will come out of the situation with a raised head.
This game is worth all the huge losses not only in a transaction, but in a lost profit.

Collect and trade CryptoKitties in one of the world's first blockchain games. Breed your rarest cats to create the purrfect furry friend. The future is meow! so, join with its!

Ether price went up actually but vitalik should do something about whole thing. If someone launch another game like this it won't be good at all, ether needs upgrade as soon as possible or we will see more stuck transactions. It is not good for anyone, especially not good for decentralized exchanges.

Vitalik twitted that he like crypto kitty, I think he want to test ETH network and now hope he regrets about that idea. My ETH still pending.

Apparently there is some token coming with the same name, I joined the airdrop today. Is there anyone with more information on this ????

I think he's right to say that this thing has been a good thing for the blockchain of ethereum. Definitely it tested again its reliability and how it can be improved but the most positive thing form me is that it has shown that ethereum can be used for very different purposes and not only for the smartcontract

Because of this crytokitty until now lots of ethereum transactions are still on pending situation.
Cryptokitty gonna make the ethreum to die slowly.

Wouldn’t it be better for cryptokittens to have their own platform and blochain to run their game? Or won’t it have such a massive resonance it is receiving right now? Perhaps something like that on the waves platform would have been just right.

How interesting...That's exactly what everyone said about Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency thing ))
I love Kitties, they're so cute

long term i believe so, even if scaling solutions are in the making.

could be an eth fork connected through some interchain solution, with some changes specifically to suit games.

I do not like that the game so affects my investment. I came here not to play games but to invest and make money. But this is impossible when the network does not work normally.

Disruption of Ethereum network will continue in the future, and I think that's when the cryptos with the higher speed of transaction such as Digibyte will shine.

I just bought 2 kitties and wanna sell them, but it didn't work as I think. :( :( :(

Well i think it has a bright future ahead of it, that is the first game i saw as a virtual collectible and many has been getting into it, some kitties has been selling for enormous amount of money, might as well join the ride and profit while its new.

I hope this is just temporary hype. i wish ethereum network will be normal again and all transactions will be finish to be process. But, it was very interesting going on because this cyrptokitty can make ethereum network got stuck.

Cryptokitty is a new fad in the cryptoworld.  I love to join the new fad but hesitant because I have to install metamask as an extension of my chrome browser.  I am new to this application and since I am a bit conservative, I have to learn first the advantages and disadvantages that it could provide me.

It's a genius idea - and obviously very popular right now - I've taken a look and I think for it to be a long term success they'll need to make it easier for younger patrons - or maybe younger patrons to explain to their parents.  That said, the electronic collectible genre is a perfect match for crypto - a very secure way of transferring and verifying ownership.  The NVT ICO is very interesting - particularly because NVT will have the ability for other games to use it (via an API) for their own trading system.  More at https://novablitz.com (https://novablitz.com)  and a great chat at https://t.me/Novablitz (https://t.me/Novablitz)

Thanks

Build in any successful game of blockade and you will become a millionaire. Now there will be a lot of such toys.

So with this cryptokitty entered the market im sure next year a lot of cryptogames will be rising.
Cause it already hit the market now devs will create a new game better than cryptokittie like dota or whatsoever.

If ETH can survive this and correct the problems...ETH will roll on. If gas prices remain what they are...ETH will die. I hope it rolls on.

Crypto kitty could struggle when other similar games come in (given how successful this game is) and perhaps with less issues in terms of transaction fees. I recall reading an article that the Steemit blockchain is only at like 1 per cent capacity so could likely take on a game like crypto kitty and still work fine. Not sure exactly how Steemit operates, but there was some discussion of games using Steemit as a platform.

Crypto kitty has first mover advantage in the 'digital blockchain collectable' space (if you want to call it that) so we'll see how it all pans out.

And if you think about it, how funny it is, that anything, literally ANYTHING, which disrupts a pattern, always brings a wave of resistance. Few years ago most people were talking shit about Bitcoin, or nothing at all, these days a lot of those very same people are buying bitcoin.
Let's see what happens with cryptokitties in few years ;D

Perhaps this was not a pattern of their spam, namely a purposeful provocation of negative against crypto currency. Today, a lot of skeptics in the past buy not only Bitcoin but also another crypto currency.

i hate this Cryptokitty think, my transaction pending in hour and days, and its solved when you pay more gas, is that something behind this kitty???

Dude that's the point that was being made...

Maybe its a good thing though? It might be a wake up call to the developers that the network isn't scaleable as it is. Better to test out the network limits with a game than with a Dapp that is crucial to business functions or a Dex that is transaction time and performance crucial.

and you thought that such information could be spread by competitors, or those who do not need a real perspective project. If you study the information on the forum, As you say, then on this kind of topic you can stumble very often.

I think it will live for few months. It`s just game without any useful product or service... Just another hype-project.

I am curious about this game, I see in this game market cheapest cat price is 0.002, maybe how to play is to buy female and male cats, then produce offspring that can be sold, I am interested in this game, but do not have the funds  ;D

Bitcoin is just a hype product...

What does it actually do that's a useful service. The only thing that was useful about bitcoin was cheap cashless transactions but now transactions cost so much that it can't even claim that!

I do think you are right though it is unlikely that interest in collectible cryptokitties will continue for a long time but then again who knows, it is a collectors item and there are so many people in the world who will pay so much for collectors items. I think the Gen 0 kitties will always hold their value, im not sure about subsequent generations.

Maybe its just a fad. Most of the time when a certain thing fly too high in a short period of time it may fall hard as well. There is an arising problem about the network caused by this game. It caused a pending transactions due to the heavy traffic of buying and selling virtual cats. These is the real challenge for the developers on whether they could sustain it or it will just  be gone too soon.

Totally agree with you. Another pro point for this game and yes it sounds stupid: Such games could bring mass adoption. Ethereum isn't anymore the geeky thin air code "crypto currency" now it has a "face". Cryptokitties brings crypto world to the average joe.
Everything which brings mass adoption and awareness is good for this community.

I agree, cryptokitties do very good job and educate mass how blockchain work.

Sounds like interesting,i will try this game and see how the heck did the cats rekt the ethereum network.

I visited there official website, it's kinda complicated for me like as a newbie. They will ask you to install the metask wallet if I'm not mistaken. But still Crypto Kitty is very interesting for cats lover.

I participated in this project, there you have to pay for everything, I bought one cat, which now is not worth anything. And the big sums that took place at the beginning of buying cats up to $ 100,000 I think the developers did for the sake of advertising.

bitcoin became for some people a faith in a bright future ::)

cryptokitties are so cute! they should be banned thou cos they add to our load!

This is of course very sad that a simple popular game was able to affect the network ETH. But we saw some weaknesses, and it is possible that the development team will correct these defects. Games have always been very popular, so do not be surprised.

Interesting game, but with the problems that users are experiencing it could possibly add harm to the cryptocurrencies used. However it also looks like just a fad.

Who can explain it to me, what is the sense buying kitty for ETH? That is absolutely not for me, an idea is similar with Pokemon Go, but I really can't believe that someone use each of them.

I think it is trendy and many cryptokities will have "historical" value, but the huge prices will eventually vanish.

Since they are unique, they have a certain identity value so you could potentially use one as avatar or for branding. The price however... that´s a different thing.

There are to many pending transaction in ethereum network. this game was very booming, there to many people playing this game, i think thats why ethereum network have problem because this game based on ethereum network.

Ive never tried buying this cryptokitty game, i dont want to spend my ethreum in this crappy game and im sure the fame of this kitties will not last, soon the game will end.

We have the same opinion about this and also this is not healthy for the ethereum network which flooded the server and makes it slow.
we should not continue to support this kind of project where in it will just crash the whole network and many will suffer because of slow and flooded network.

Is there an ann topic at bitcointalk.org? Because I read that free kitty creations are only possible in the initial adaptation period.

It's a pity the boom passed, I thought I would invest. Very interesting idea was. Many of them sat down and earned quite well.

The epidemic continues! Now CryptoFish, CryptoCrabs, CryptoDog. I'm afraid that's just the beginning. How to handle network ETH, if they become as popular as Cryptokitty?

Just a crypto with a gimmick, people lose their interest over time.

at some point someone will just put up an ethereum fork for games kike that would be my bet, and connect it through an interchain solution to get "real" eth over to buy stuff.

If somebody earning means somebody loosing. I don't think that game is a nice thing: it's mostly useless and was mass popular just because of hand-made hype.

As today I just learnt that they cheapest cryptokitty  it's not cheap at all. I believe it was well above €70 dollars which does not make any sense for me definitely. Yeah it has to be a question of a few months of trying and then it will at least be back to reasonable prices.

Although the game is cute and funny, the risk of losing everything is great enough - however, this is the norm for any block project.

I'm not Hear Cryptokitty again
that make ETH network problem because spam transaction
but now has been normal again
where si the kitty?

Assuming that the team behind CryptoKittens are building a business, then their interest will be in maintaining the uniqueness of each kitty, otherwise all of their products would loose market appeal and value. Being able to upgrade the "magic sauce" library also seems very reasonable.

People may not lose interest as they are trying hard to keep it interesting.

Also I dont want spend my time on cryptokitty game or any other game no more...timeeaters

what is the actual status of this game? Haven't hear about them since few weeks, but I saw some transaction on eth netwrok still going their way. I guess it means there is a time for some new funny childish game to take over

It was very popular at one time. He's not talking much at the moment. People's interest has diminished.

  Last time, I am often asked what will happen to CryptoKitties. Should I sell them now or wait for the market reversal. I do not know what will happen to the cats ... I believe more in Arcona and now I buy land on auctions: http://marketplace.arcona.io/en 

Youd better hodl your kitties just like you hodl your eth because you will only loose if you sell them today .  by the way ,  i read an article last time about the development of another game simillar to cryptokitties  .   not really sure if they are only an extension for the original crypto kitty game or it is owned by a differrent company  .

Cryptokitties has definitely gained fame in the crypto space and also from the general public.
Recently cryptokitties achieved 1.5 million kitties and that is definitely not an easy feat.
There are also many other projects working on making cryptokitties a success, definitely worth keeping an eye to see how cryptokitty develops

I remember when i was new here i have read more about this kitties in 2017 but now it seems that the supporters of this are silent.
But checking your link it looks like the cat is just resting and waiting for right timing to hunt mouse again

Same thoughts mate ,but lets see in the newr future what will happen to this one
