Cryptokitties-good thing or bad thing ?

[Inkdatar]

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

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

  

Yes this cryptokitties causes the network problem. I cant say for now this will be a good thing to ethereum network because of congestion that until now no resolution. Well I hope in the future this will be good to all ethereum holders.

In my opinion its fun having these games in the crypto world but yes, hopefully ETH devs could do something about it as it won't be good for their image in the long run if they don't solve issues like what everyone is experiencing for ETH transactions.

I hope it can be positive for Ether.
At First it makes Ether more popular and so maybe more invested invest in Ether and the Chart will grow 
Second it makes also more interesting for miner because of the growing mining fee, so it will get more popular too.
And at least it is a new System so I think there will be come more similar games, that the blockchaine is overloaded is the only negative point.

These kindf of things are actually good for popularity in long run. But I think there must be some limit to it. They shouldn't let such game to damage ethereum chain.

[JetSet11]

Haha yeah it's strange 

I think the lure is in the breeding. They each come with their own "genome". That, and the opportunity for breeding sales.

[imsotiredofmoviereboots]

A good thing because it is make a good noise outside and more exposure for cryptocurrencies but bad for people who are using ETh that makes daily or many transactions.

[slaman29]

Of course it's a good thing. For one, it shows a real world utility for the Ethereum blockchain's smart contracts, for another, it helps game devs make money from a new concept.

Network congestion? Don't you think it's good that this game demonstrated that the network needs to either scale, or to find a way to accommodate all these dapps if it wants to survive? It does make me think though, with all these ICOs and projects on Ethereum, and the network only breaking because of a game, does this mean no one else is using the hundreds of Eth blockchain projects already launched?

I really don't know if this crypto cat breeding game is a good or bad thing.

It is like a stress test for the Ethereum blockchain and the network transactions, so maybe it will be a good thing at the end, because of new features and improvements are added to ETH.

[zanezane]

IMO, how could a thing be good to ethereum blockchain when it actually make the network too congested. I just hope these won't really bring chaos in the network and rather ba one of the assets.

[Coindest]

this is a good thing. Because it increases the involvement in the cryptocurrency. Attract more attention and more investment

[Xfactor06]

The idea of having an ethereum based game is actually very good but at the same time it clogged the ethereum blockchain. I hope that it won't give an idea to other developers to create another game like that, it will be a mess on the ethereum network.

[ryjin1007]

See the present problem of ethereum network what's the cause of it? the game makes the network crazy and it affects so many users at that time and right now i need to increase my gas price to successfully transact my orders or trades

[brokkoly]

This damn game shows us the big problem with scalability of the ETH network. This is a good signal for developers to improve this network. If they manage, it will be a good step)

For me its really hard to understand. Why one game is able to overload the whole ethereum network? I dont think there are 10million players. So hows that possible? What happens when some imitator create another game like kryptokitties? When there are 10 more games released, the network will crash. So thats why i go with the argument that cryptokitties is a bad thing. Maybe someone should make a new blockchain specialy for games? If naybody will do this now, dont forget it was my idea

[rodrigopvai]

I love these cryptokitties.
The developers have tried their best and made a good code for variety of kitties.
Most of ICO didn't notice them, but one of them even make kitties giveaway. Take a look:https://goo.gl/cwxd52
It's a worldwide success 

[kawasaki5050]

This services take up over 15% ETH loading network and is unique entertainment channel for everyone who have a big love with virtual cats and earn ETH by trading it. It has valued and negative also caused overloading in transferring ETH but we cannot remove it so that's problem.

[Buttercup123]

I am a gamer but not a fan of Cryptokitties, but to answer the topic, i would say it is a good thing, coming up with a game based on ETH-network is a great idea to attract more investors, probably if all of us would play it then maybe around 2018, the ETH is half as powerful as BTC. Also majority of people will be willing to try it out so it will add to the popularity of ETH. But on the present it is a pain in the ass, the Gas goes up, ETH network is clogged, and the ether delta and MEW is very slow. So, i agree that the ETH network should consider reworking on the Cryptokitties because the game is already successful on its purpose but the effect is very bad. So focusing on the problem can make the game more interesting to play because if the ETH network manages to fix what cause the clog, then for sure many would try the cryptokitties.

[Niveus]

Perhaps fate gives us a chance to buy cats at $ 20 until they cost as bitcoin $ 18,000. 
Unfortunately, my cat brings me only expenses

[authorfriendly]

They don't make noise or money but they pass gas?

[marks1976]

This damn game shows us the big problem with scalability of the ETH network. This is a good signal for developers to improve this network. If they manage, it will be a good step)

That's about the matter of time until the more improvement will be implemented into the ethereum network, plasma and sharding network will be really helped ethereum to get another dapps runs on its platform. It will get another improve soon.
