TLDR:
  • Collect, trade, and breed cryptographically unique Kitties
  • Kitties have a 256-bit genome with rare genes and special "Fancy Cats" hidden throughout
  • Early access was launched on Thursday, within a few hours became one of top-used dApps ever, accounting for 2%+ of total gas usage that day
  • One of the first at-scale uses of blockchain that is not cryptocurrency or fund transfer

I checked out the page. It is utterly useless but that's not the point. The idea of buying, holding, breeding and selling kittens online must take of massively or I will eat my hat (and everyone should then stop posting kat videos).

They are adorable  Kiss

I am not sure what is the purpose of this. Either I am not getting it or its just a stupid game for people who have absolutely nothing to do and are in love with cats. BTW cats make me sick so I will just let this one go.

That's pretty cool. I'm gonna check it out later today.

Now I really wanna capture, catch & collect all those kitties!  Cheesy

But what is the thing with Ξ? Ξ1 = 1 Ethereum, so $500? That means cryptokitties are pretty insanely expensive?

ETH is buried under the cat litter! Thank you, CryptoKitties - you have killed ETH...
Now any shitty transaction fee is over $1.5...

LMAO this is hilarious., Someone told me today in a telegram group that this game has gassed and clogged up the Ethereum blockchan and has caused havoc everywhere. This really is a total waste of of time in my books but people have time to kill and many a rich kid is bored so breeding cats is cute for them I guess, gives them a sense of purpose lol muhahahaha  Smiley Smiley Smiley Anyway good luck to the lucky breeders, may they go forth and ruddy multiply.

Same here I only knew about this project because of the problem that they've caused on the eth's network, so I checked it out, honestly it's not that bad and it's not solely a waste of time, you can actually earn a pretty good amount when you breed cryptokitties, the more cryptokitties you have, the more money you can get and this game is going viral so I think in a couple of months these people who are breeding cryptokitties will probably be rich and because of the problem that they've caused more people are getting interested with this project that's why I think right now is the best time to join this project and breed some cryptokitties  Grin, who knows maybe because of this game you can be a thousand dollars richer or maybe more  Wink

Crypto Kitties has now 20% of all the transactions of the ETH network. It is clogging the ETH network right now. Seems like a good stress test for the system

Same as you, because of the network problems it was highlighted to me by someone complaining about Cryptokitties, when I checked it out it is pretty damn cool, funny enough can't get any ETH into it because of the network issues, a really good idea and this sort of thing goes viral, people love virtual pets.

I can not understand. I could not understand when people buy live cats when there are so many homeless and hungry cats on the street who can be saved. But these are virtual cats that cost a lot of money. What for? World has gone mad

probably the buyer and seller are the same person, they are adding more value to their own kitties to buy and sell them to themselves..
waiting till someone is willing to buy it for this insane price.

but still pretty awesome Grin and a good test for the network
