What the hell are Crypto kitties?

[wpt1wpt1]

I think this is the most ridiculous thing in the world! Ethereum splashes into the web. Because of them, I have to pay 70 gwei to send Ethereum.

Has anyone got these crypto kitties?  

[X-ray]

Actually the Cryptokitties casw showed how vulnerable even well developed projects are. Just a virus game created such a trouble for the whole crypto community! I think that Vitalik Buterin and his team have to investigate this case deeply and find solutions to increase the number of transactions in the network.

In another way the only crypto kitties that already built working platform based on dapps. How so many another project are not still successful to build the dapps in the ethereum platform. Another platform like lisk just tried with their SDK but it's gonna fail. Waves try to build NLG to develop dapps. How these dapps will become a trend in the future.
But remember about that needs a bestt scalability option just like what already did by bitshares as the most scalability coin.

Virtual Cat, breed and sold them . I wonder what the world is turning to. What will one do with these cats, that is causing slow in our transactions.

So I signed up for cryptokitties and just blew .2 ETH trying to figure out what the hype is all about.  Well I can confirm now that it is a stupid as it sounds.

This game is dumped eth price faster then btc pump.

Because in reality, ethereal is a shitty shit, albeit working. If such a crazy game attracted so much attention, now there will be so many similar toys that I'm afraid to even imagine. blockchain for the sake of seals, it sounds funny)

Humans! Now people are starting to get the real picture. Initially, what I have been hearing is that Ethereum is going to be a huge competition for bitcoin, Ethereum is faster and all that, now that the reality is kicking in, people are starting to change their opinions.

If an ordinary game can do this, I really imagine when the Ethereum network gets loaded with other games like this. It is not built for a huge stuff like this and that is something that should be worked on.

I have a problem to sent tokens and withdrawal token from the exchanges
I read some news that this cryptokitties cause the ethereum network is very busy.

[Acguy]

They're virus on the blockchain

Crypto kitties is a kind of game where user can collect,trade,and breed virtual kittens using smart contract on the ethereum blockchain.All you have to do is buy some ether and use it to pay for your very first feline friend. Once you buy your first kitten, that transaction gets added into the blockchain as a permanent receipt of your purchase.

I think they should implement Raiblocks XRB with zero fee's and instant transactions I believe these currencies can handle the network load.

Has anyone got these crypto kitties?  

Why would I get one? This is one useless addition to the Ethereum network. This is not even a fun invention. A pure waste of time. Well, this is a free world so everybody has the choice of what they would want to do with their lives. They can breed as many crypto kitties as they want. The problem however is that it is clogging the Ethereum network. Withdrawals and deposits are delayed because of these kitties.

The news that you read was correct because of this cryptokitties the etherium network became busy/slowly you cannot deposit your tokens and even withdrawal the eth based token this is really annoying. The Developer of Etherium need to resolve this issue if this problem cannot fix as soon as possible the value of etherium will be drop down slowly.

[JessyHero]

Wow, they are simply adorable. But very costly. I wonder, how much this game already made so far

[winteriscoming91]

any examples for crypto kitties?

[wapperjaw]

Are the cats still slowing down the network? etherscan.io has some nice charts to look at data since september when the cats were born

I've noticed a lot of anger, frustration, and confusion towards CryptoKitties in the daily thread over the last few days (along with plenty of joy, wonder, and excitement).

For those who don't understand and/or lack the imagination, pretend for a moment that the ERC 721 tokens which represent all the individual kitties on the blockchain didn't represent cats at all. Imagine, instead, that they represented:

loot items in World of Warcraft
rare cards in online collectible card games
plots of land in Arizona
corporate stocks from Fortune 100 companies that trade on NASDAQ or the NYSE
Does that make more sense to you now? People aren't necessarily excited about the actual cats themselves, they're excited by the endless possibilties that this demonstrates.

Go look at the online marketplace they've created. Look at the user interface. Fire up your imagination and envision a world where 'digital drawings of cats' are just one of the many, many, MANY assets being traded in the Ethereum eco-system.

THIS is precisely what gives Ether its value: the ability to create, tokenize, and trade things on the blockchain. And this is the reason that CryptoKitties was deployed to the Ethereum blockchain and NOWHERE ELSE -- not Bitcoin, not Dash, not ETC (lol ETC). If you're mad about CryptoKitties, you're missing the whole point -- this isn't a distraction from the price, this is exactly the reason that ETH rose 5000% over the past year.

Yes, it's silly and it's goofy, but it's a proof of concept. It demonstrates to the world what is currently possible, RIGHT NOW, in the Ethereum eco-system. ETHEREUM, and nowhere else. It's not about the cats, it's about the future potential of the whole protocol.

This is some crazy, because of these crypto-kittens is slowed by erc20! What's happening? Why this?)

Actually, the system getting back to normal as they find ways to fix unlike previous days which the cause slowing the system. Crypto kitties is a cartoon kittens as unique digital Pokemon cards. This kitties' has unique features having DNA can lead to four billion possible genetic variations.The price of cryptoKitty is approximately $23.06 (£17.19), according to Crypto Kitty Sales. This kind of game can earn while you playing and many features that makes everyone of us enjoy and comfortable to use.

Well said. Good post.

I also agree with the fact that CryptoKitties have slowed down strongly transactions, however, good sides can not be denied either. This game has brought even more popularity to the ETH. When problems with the load of small transactions will be solved, the price will grow very much.
