Cryptokitties-good thing or bad thing ?

[okinawa]

I think it's a really great games, my son played it and he really loved it ! It's really good to teach your kids about the blockchain and ethereum while having fun and making money at the same time.

But it's too bad that it make the ethereum network very slow, I guess they will need to improve and have a good update to allow more transaction per second. I also hope it wont affect the reputation of this coin

I don't quite consider if its good or not,
everything always has two sides.
And most important is that this game showes  Ethereum protocol needs further improvements, and that people believe Ethereum will get it (maybe PoS switch?)

I have to agree with this one.
But if I would have to make a pick, I'd say good thing.

It forces the search for solutions to the scaling problem and at the same time it makes crypto more popular.

Some people said good, but how come... They're just causing a blockage in blockchain of ethereum and millions of people turned into sick because of this. We can't perform transactions, I withdrawn some tokens from echanges yesterday, I still didn't receive them.

there must be pluses and minuses, and what I feel now is hampering the ethereum network so that trading activity gets messed up. but maybe the future will get better and there will be improvement from the ethereum network, I hope hopefully will return smoothly as before

[btctuxedo]

Yes it is good but I think the cryptokitty dev team should consider using a sidechain for their project. Please do not be selfish & clog the network

[Erowind]

I have yet to look into the app, but given all the buzz I think it's a really good thing. We need more DAPPS, this is just he beginning.

[Swinging Phallus]

Good thing, Sure we had dapps like poker and dice, but this is the first dapp on ETH thats just 100% genuine. The idea of it isn't new but its implications are since it is on ETH platform and the congestion its causing only means that Ethereum will have to learn how to scale which means bigger market cap.

This game is a good sign that show crypto is become more and more close to the real life. People start using crypto to play and what more ? More promise things are coming now. Crypto future is more bright now.

This is what I think. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cryptokitties-cryptocatastrophe-viral-kitties-cause-180100270.html

[Larrycool]

I'm totally confused with this cryptokitties,
What is cryptokitties,
How does it work,
Can anyone take time to explain this please? Thank you.

[ritsel02]

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 ?

I agree the release of the game "cryptokitties" is a big challenge to ethereum blockchain. Though as for now ethereum already recovered the clogging problems. When ethereum blockchain  will be ready and done adjusting their system, the incoming popular game could be a good thing for them.The increase of the demand from the gamers could build a strong community supporting the coin and will definitely increase its value.

so silly this cryptokitties, i went and checked it out and the landing page looks cool, then you sign up and its just a shitty wordpress template
It's a pointless ponzi where the last person to buy is left with a buncha pixel cats noone wants
people are scrambling to be first in the ponzi, and praying someone dumber then them will buy their pixel cats
total epiphany of how crazy ETH people can be with their money

[nguyen0806]

I think the game is just additive for very short. It is not so intertesting after a while

[xenomorphe1]

Cryptokitties is the first new type of virus for blockchain. They invent the first virus who could disrupt a blockchain with smart-contracts. It is also a ponzi-scam scheme. It is the first blockchain worm. How are they going to stop this virus? Make a fork of ETH but an ETH with no smart-contracts? Could someone wanting the death of a ETH has create Cryptokitties?

If its really the reason why etherium clogged this days then thanks to cryptokitties etherium network needs a huge improvement like in this kind of scenario using the etherium blockchain in games like this so that in the future it will run smoothly.

If you are doing your trade in the centralized exchange and you will not get anything caused by the cryptokitties. the possible thing about that will disrupt the blockchain and that makes it be bloated or congested.
By the way as the first working dapps and cryptokitties tell us about how it will work.

[nevermindthebotox]

just imagine what 50 apps/games like this will do...

ETH faces some serious challenges that needs to be solved pretty quickly. like immediately.

I'll say it's good for Eth in general. I think this gam will bring more attention to the platform. With all the clogs th developers can focus their efforts on strengthening the chain. I know it's annoying but I feel good things will follow.

[Criptomen@30]

I Still dont understand criptokitties
