What the hell are Crypto kitties?

[Asmus003]

Just next hype-project. Hope that massive hysteria will end until the end of the weak.

[zgrdyg]

a purposeless, over hyped game that results on some investors losing faith in ethereum, cryptocurrency or else.
Ether delta is working (if you say that "working") very slow and bad. People are losing some ETH's during the transactions,
and a few moments ago my friend sent some ETH with 60 gwei gas price in 9 minutes.
Thats bad.. hopefully it will lose some momentum in a few days.

I read some topics on reddit about crypto kitties and some people that they sold their kitties for 250ETH? WTF?
What is this ?

Oh yeah f those kitties, they are making my beloved ETH to go slow. Why I have started thinking that it has also affected the bitcoin in positive ways, I mean did these kitties bought lot of bitcoin to fluctuate the rates at all. Yeah surely that is the reason why it pumped and perfect to think that how my ETH is going down at the movement. Please kitties stop that non sense to devalue the ETH.

Hope that this period will overcome soon and we will see the ETH value going back to what is expected from it in the January 2018. How many of you guys think that is achievable really?

In my opinion, if the developers of the Ethereum platform do not take active measures to eliminate this problem in the near future, we will see a big drop in the price. Competitors are not sleeping. Next year the ethereum can lose its position very much. A little innocuous game hit so hard on the whole system ..

I can't believe we are back in 90s collecting "pokemons"
However this time its 2017 version on the blockchain platform.
Cryptokittens, It now takes 20% of all txs

Dev team is really great, I seen that this game is a test in order for them to make adjustment just in case the system was over populated of so many transactions, and the team will adjust and fixed this problem making Eth platform more reliable in the long term process.

Do you have any resources that prove that this is actually the case? As far as I could find out so far, the Ethereum dev team said that they are thankful for this because it showed the weaknesses and where they have to work on, but not that they themselves launched this thing as a scalability test.

All my transactions are stuck pending

There you go. Have fun breeding thin air and get your money stole in the process.

Good luck with your cryptoLottery.

I will not be surprised if there is a cryptocoyote devouring all the cryptokitties, still I find this phenomenon quite intriguing.

This shit should stop they are killing the ethereum network

I'm sure you understand that this will not solve the issue at all.
Okay, let's say tomorrow CryptoKitties dev team decide to close their game.

But one day later someone can create a similar viral thing. A game, gambling or some other Ponzi scheme.
And this will shut down Ethereum network again.

Ethereum team should solve this on their side, DAP developers are not the root of this problem.

They are just stupid virtual pets created and traded by stupid persons. They are clogging Ethereum network and making us loose money.
I wonder what are these people thinking when they buy these stupid kitties with these high prices.

[Saifher]

The market seems to be stagnating right now, with the cheapest cats going for around 0.03 eth. Since the gas + fee to breed a cat costs around that same value, we'll probably see a decrease in ethereum's platform demand.

[jgjw]

Anybody know where this game is popular / where most of the users are. Are there any means to figure it out? i.e; mostly in U.S.? Japan? etc.

[abvhiael]

i have just know read a thread talking about this kitties phenomena anf i read it is a game that make you money and it has relation with ether.

Indeed, the cost of ethereum's may decrease, because of this game.
I was also interested to see Catcoin - created in 2015. Interestingly there is a connection between them, or I do not see the obvious

Guys do you believe that Ethereum went down because of these crypto cats game? I dont understand how it is possible. I mean many people still invest on Ethereum but they say in dumped because of this game. There should be another reasons.
