CryptoKitties - Ethereum's first blockchain game

[Iyanu14]

The game is cool but it is really affecting etherum network, i send centra to binance yesterday a tx id was generated the centra did not deposit to where i sent it to, they should look for a way to balance the cryptokitties of a thing and won't affect the etherum network it consumes 11% of etherum network and it affecting other people using the network.

Visited the cryptokitty site and omg someone is selling a kitty worth 1m ether lol the owner will became an instant millionaire with this virtual kittys this game is unbelievable huge money involve Im sure someone will make similar to this game and will name like cryptodogie  .    

[kiver]

it was smart to create based on the blockchain technology but i don't think i will play such a game but i hope the developers could make something better than a game to benefit more from this technology but in the end successful project that made them money so no one can say its a bad idea

So yeah, im pretty happy and sad that this game has had a negative impact on the Ethereum community. Sad because a lot have cashed out to bitcoin worrying about poor network capacity. Happy because i get to buy more cheap ethereum. Like i've said guys, Ethereum scaling is on the way and almost ready to be rolled out. Just wait and see Ethereum will moon. Thank me later!

I think people now see nothing comes free, the game is well thought out but it is greatly affecting the network, it is spamming the network and because of the free money one is likely to get from it, the number of users have increase recently and something need to be done for people that want to do serious job

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 don't know what interested about this kind of game, to me it's bad because the network suffer because of it and makes it expensive to send token or eth to another address. I thought that eth became really good after the fork, but it's not even one month and the congestion is back.

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!

Yes its good to see blockchain challenged but they shouldn't do it in a way that it will affect the ETH network
I sent a token to liqui. A tx fee was even generated except if it will deliver just when i am typing this.

I bought two kitties, made a new one and was badly surprised that I actually need money to sell it. And it costs about 8$, lol.

You are clearly a genius. In you place I would seriously think to open a large scale kitten factory.

If one such game that is gaining popularity and with which you can make a profit - creates such problems with transactions and so on, it is possible in the future will come up with other, alternative games? What will happen then

[pentol86]

i know this from my friends, this is game make ethereum network like disaster, everythings going hard since this game introduce in ethereum platform

I never heard of it until it hit the news for slowing down the network

I can't believe that these cats are selling for over $100

You might make some money on it LOL

My transaction is not going thru due to the congestion caused by these kitties..urghhh

I think the developers need to work on a off-chain solution. There is no need for the trading to be done on the blockchain.
they can create their own exchange and record the ownership on their own site. leave only the breeding of the kitties using the
smart contract on the blockchain..

this will definitely reduce the load on the ethereum blockchain.

I am sure cryptopuppies, cryptohamster, cryptobunnies are coming up...so pls work on a off-chain solution.

Look.. these ETH guys have been developing blockchain for years, you really think a little kitty is going to take down the network they have put their heart and soul into?

If they encourage an offchain option it will be the time to worry about ETH, this is what ETH was rolled out for, less people play games than the people that need to send email chains back and forth securely, if ETH can't handle 5 more games just like the kitties than Blockchain Technology for transferring information is doomed, ETH is poised to take a lead in the race of token networking and smart contracts and the kitties should forever be referred to as the "damn kittens" that somehow managed to smash the competition.

I have an EIP pending on ETH.
You may consider voting to increase its priority.

Tried it too out of curiosity. However, I tried buying one, set the Gas limit/price high enough (gas limit 80,000, price 40Gwei), and the transaction failed. But I also lost the gas. Happened 3 times already, anyone know the cause? And is it normal if a transaction fails to lose your gas money?

[cryptogideon19]

How to play to this kind of project of kitties? and any Site? How much the minimum to buy?

[alisafidel58]

Have any of you guys tried playing cryptokitties?

Ive heard of this crypto kitties way back november when it was still on beta, i didnt get the chance to be one of the beta tester, as ive heard from the feed back it was quite amusing but i did believe that those kitties would cost so much, everyone on reddit is questioning on how does a virtual crypto game would be that valuable.

[thaliaand]

So this is "CryptoKitties". I've been hearing about this "kitten" which caused the problem in ethereum network. And I've just known that it is a blockchain game. Yeah, I'm fairly new here dude. And now I'm curious with the game    .

[mbakruroh]

I think cryptokitties are indeed a game in ethereum in order to benefit, because it looks very strange and there is no definite fundamental thing. hopefully soon there is an improvement because the existence of cryptokitties make a lot of problems.

[Crypto_lion]

Yes.. They must fix the txn speed
