CryptoKitties - Ethereum's first blockchain game

[DevelopmentBank]

Have any of you guys tried playing cryptokitties? The gist is you breed cats and sell rare breeds, all using Ethereum. No shitty altcoin or anything scammy. If you actually have the time, it is quite profitable.

I believe this game only goes further to show the potential of Ethereum to reach heights bitcoin has never known.

I am interested. Maybe a quick link or a short walkthrough of how it works would help?

Also, I see it requires the use of metamask for chrome. Is metamask a safe plugin to use? Will it not track my private key and possibly take my ETH?

I will be so much happy if this project can turn out for a greater good.

Just coming back with an update, Cryptokitties has actually turned out to be a success. There are already so many users playing and the dev team already made a TON of money. The cats they sell every 15 minutes automatically get sold, and the founder cats for fund raising are slowly being sold as well.

If the cryptokitty team is reading this, CONGRATULATIONS. Good job on making the first blockchain game.

indeed it is all very well in the potential of all coins but how we analyze that coin can be invested in the long term.

Wow, yes, what a phenomenon it has become. To be honest, the gaming scene with crypto has been needing a huge facelift, after the dice game innovation, it has become somewhat stale so I think we all owe cryptokitties a long overdue congratulations.

Actually, this wasn't the first cat themed crypto project around, I even recall Pussycoin being launched a few weeks back. But you never know how a good game can take off. Great concept, addictive, I think this project deserves a lot of applause. Well done from a Cryptokitty player

Over time a lot of systems that adopt blockhchain technology ,, by using ethereum this can be good news because something related to the game is always booming
We can not count how big and how many game players in the world.

Yes i used it yesterday, it is a very good game and everybody who loves that kind of old games are surely going to like this game.

It is kinda "revolutioning" the industry, we always wanted to have a game in form of a project, it is weird because they have not created an ico for that, and that is funny, lol.

But the interface is a little bit bugged & slowly, maybe it needs to be fixed asap in order to be able to attract more people.

It is a good product anyway, i really liked it because it is something new, and not a copy/paste from another one.

Does the game evolve? if the kitties are grew enough it will pussies,i like the concept but the game ifself has a lot of missing features,like the old games.

Damn good job to the cryptokitties development team. The past few days have been a success and they really have pushed ETH to it's limits.

This single dAPP caused huge backlogs on the Ethereum network! Just check out this chart:

I for one am happy that ETH's first experiment with pushing the limits is so much fun.

I took a look at this and maybe i am just out of touch on how these games work i see you breed cats together and what not but how do you know if you breed a cat that is in deed rare how do you tell? what do you look at when purchasing these kittens

I hope that devs will evolve the game. You're right, right now CryptoKittens looks very primitive, like first mobile time killers from 2005
But developers already made a lot of money and I think they understand that players expect for something bigger, like pet battles, clans, chats, competitions and many other features from adult MMO.

Let's see. One thing I can say for sure: this is a very nice case for any developer in the world. Cryptocurrency allows you to make very viral application/game and make a lot of money just in few weeks.

I have not tried it yet but nice game and I hope it grows into a global phenomenon like Pokemon Go. I also reckon this will make Ethereum known all over the world.

In any case, where do they sell the kitties? I heard that over $1 million have already been traded since its release.

A very nice case that would entice more developers to cryptocurrencies and a very nice as well to entice investors into Ethereum. This is one of the reasons why I am so bullish on ethereum and cryptocurrency in general. Its so exciting and there is so much you can do.

They have an online marketplace on the website itself. The front end user interface is linked to ethereum's smart contracts so you can buy and/or sell a kitty in a decentralized fashion. So awesome.

I thionk that criptokitties shows all the lows of Ethereum, not the heights! Just one little silly-smart game and all Ethereum network is congested and unusable.

[Haunebu]

Heard a lot about this particular game in recent times and I am honestly surprised that this game performed so well. I thought that such games might not be appreciated by many, but looks like I was wrong. The comparison with Pokemon helped it a lot and the fact that Ethereum is being utilized is clearly one of the primary reasons that it performed so well in the first place. I might actually buy some kitties myself by the looks of it.

[blue_id69]

i really want addorable kitties so much but ethereum network so busy cause of it, cant even make a simple transaction allready put so much gas and still failed xD

[Murloc]

I remember there was a project about crypto birds where you had to buy birds and sell their eggs for satoshies. So that project was a bit scammy because according their tos you can only get a payment of about 30% of the money that you and your refferals spent. I don't really want to waste my time reading another big ToS of this cryptokitties but I'm sure there must be some tricks.

[CryptoBuds]

Some people just crazy! How can anybody donate so much ETHs into the game!? It's just another hype like Pokemon Go. BTW developers are just awesome

[MyOddz]

It was a great idea and I bet they had no idea of how they'd affect the network! Purrfect!

[burnum]

Its good to see the Blockchain challenged, and I have hopes that more non technical applications are developed with Cryptokitties being a testament to others, the devs have done a great job!
