Cryptokitties-good thing or bad thing ?

[kenzawak]

Right now ,it's clogging the network and forcing people to up gas prices but in the future ,do you guys think having a game that popular (crypto-pokemons ?)could be a good thing for ethereum ?

Agree!its a good thing, especially for gamers like me 😁

Hello, i admire the idea and effort people put into things (the do it for money, obviously). Also it shows that there is nothing new under the sun (tamagotchi,usw..)
its exciting to think with what people come up next.

Cheers

this is a funny story, which due to its unusual and pretty looks has become quickly known, but most likely it will also lose its popularity quickly.

Bitcoin passed the similar test. It's good for Ethereum in the long term if they can successfully deal with this problem. Right now Ethereum failed the test. They need to learn from this and develop the project.

That's not true, BTC was congested as fuck a few days/weeks ago, and it still is to some degree.
ETH is doing fairly OK, despite handling 80%+ more transactions than Bitcoin alt-time-high record.
But yes I agree, ETH needs to learn and adapt a better strategy for handling massive volume of transactions.

Well not really when Ethereum can't handle it. If they could handle such a thing then yes it would be great but it just shows that when companies start gaining traffic and they use Ethereum then it starts being a hassle and inefficient. If we can really assume that some companies on Ethereum will be big then such ineffeciency could kill them.

Stop talking about crypto kitties meooooooow "now". HA

But seriously, I think it is a cool idea and clever at that. I certainly wont be buying any though.

[HODL to the moon]

Crypto Kitties is a really good thing I think. It is the most used GAS in the ETH right now. It gives a real stress test to the whole network.
I feel that is good!

[bhantom]

In my opinion this all game have big potential, and get huge popular in short time. I have big hope it will be good for Ethereum

[justin86]

I think it is very good, because of this game, it seems, the new era of dapps games will start. Let that ethereum go to the out of this galaxy.

[Crypto Piece]

I heard people are having trouble selling them. 

[BTCGOLD]

In my opinion it is really good for Ethereum, maybe now is some problems with selling and with blockchain but for me it is temporary because it is new thing so in near future all will be fixed

[Dlikrot]

I want more blockchain based games. Maybe even mmo's where the ingame currency is real cryptocurrency, and maybe your progress and stats are also saved in the blockchain.

[renes]

I don't know, I will check this out now. But the idea of decentralization in games with blockchain's other advantages as well is great. I will work on it on my spare times.

While this negatively affects the network of ETH. But I hope that soon the excitement will pass and again it will be possible to comfortably use ETH. Cryptokitties are a waste of time and money

Yesterday i was reading a lot of questions on the Dev of Ethereum, it is plenty of people talking shit about cryptokitties, nobody knows how did they developed such that project.

Right now ,it's clogging the network and forcing people to up gas prices but in the future

It is useless, kitties on an ethereum network? The developer was really drunk when he just came up with that idea.. And they raised a lot of money, i dont know what's wrong with the investors right now.

do you guys think having a game that popular (crypto-pokemons ?)could be a good thing for ethereum ?

Maybe this is a new trend for cryptos? creating games on the blockchain?

[mandibleclaw]

It's a good thing because now it will push Ethereum's devs to deliver as fast as possible Raiden, Plasma, sharding, Casper etc...or this situation is going to kill Ethereum, there are some Poker ICO right now, can you imagine when they will start running their dapps?

[oxonhu]

i think its good thing that can help cryptoworld. many people can learn cryptos with this kind of popular games. there will be more and more games used blockchain. There is lisk for expamle a good project for dApp s. They need developers and many developers have no idea about blockchain but they will learnd and start to use it. we need time.
i hope soon there will be thousands of games used blockchain.

It’s a fantastic thing for getting exposure to cryptocurrencies and blockchain in general. It may be clogging up the network at present but in the long term this will benefit us all and make crypto’s more mainstream than it is.
