What's happening to Ethereum transactions ??

[randal9]

yes...the cats are blame in all...in this case crypto kittens...I don't recognize the details, but I know that it really overloads the network...it's very nice, if you don't take into account the problems it caused

[zoata87]

I also have the same problem, the ethereum network is very slow right now I am waiting forever to cash out my investment. From what I know it is because of CryptoKitties, it is an game like Pokémon but within Ethereum blockchain. This game went viral and make the Ethereum slow down. Right now about 15% of all Ethereum network traffic is dedicated to the game, making it the most popular smart contract on the network so imagine 10 viral game like that...

Crypto Kittens.

But besides that, I just sent a transaction from my coinbase account to an exchange and the transaction went through in a couple of minutes. The first confirmation took no time at all. Is it still congested for the rest of you guys or is it fixed, because it looks good from my end.

[Usui-Kun]

I think this is because of that game, which increases all of the transactions on a fast basis. This increases the ratio between the transactions and the route that they go through. I hope this issue get sorted out at the start of 2018.

The transaction on ethereum platform are getting better, just increse your Gwei to around 50 and set your gas limit to 200,000 you will be fine. I have been doing this since crypto kitties event and all my transactions confirm in less than 5Min!

[bisa coy]

it seems that this is a thing done by big investors to treading so many people who can not transaction so as not to disrupt the treading investors.

Perhaps it's something like a miracle but I made ETH transfer today with 0.0000000714 transaction fees. I'd like to say that the ether network works as before but according to the amount of pending transactions it is not.

It is time to move to others. Waves are good option. And Bitcoin is the best. I think many people will be disapointed with this situation. Will this take place at another time? I think eth users will loose their faith.

Some short term pain but the fact Ethereum is being used for a lot of real world applications, even if spurious, is a great harbinger for the future. Ultimately the winning crypto will be the one that is most useful for something other than just stashing money.

I read in some forums, they almost complain about the slow ethereum transaction. I can hear he said there was an overload on ethereum transactions.

[ChrisPop]

It looks like the Crypto Kitties project/game clogged up the ETH blockchain. That's why I maintain my statement that a replacement or at least an alternative is due for ETH. And I believe STRATIS is the right competitor with sidechains alpha coming this MONTH!

It is funny, how can cats caused such a delay in a transaction. It means Ethereum isn't save for our money.

At least the pending tx already decreased a lot. This just the matter of time until the majority of person will be realizing about the fact the cryptokitties just nothing rather than a cartoon that distributed into the users.
It can't become a store value for us.
But i feel need to put the maximum gwei for every transaction. that's really difficult to get a confirmation by the block with 30 gwei.

Kitties are actually a positive thing for Ethereum. Eth can hold a viral game on chain and not break - can you say it about ethereum killers out there?

[sycaburatan]

I pitty those developers its literally "kitties just killed ethereum" lmao shoulda dump all my ethereum neo is better.

[rjp55]

crypto kittens:( gas prices rose above 50-60 gwei for sending some ETH. airdrops stopped, ICO's delayed, this is a serious issue for ETH.
Even some people tried to buy, invest some ETH but due to delays they missed the train.

[CryptoClown]

Neverthought that these kittens are to blame regarding ETH congestion when all along I thought it was because of Bitcoin  Got me curious of how this game works so I'll probably check it out later. There's probably a lot of cat lovers in the crypto world that makes this game a weakness of Etherium. Hope Vitalik could do something about this ETH problem soon.

[aldrin6697]

Due to a busy server and great demand of transactions ethereum is now on maintenance for better and faster transactions but it will be back soon. It is already 4 days almost, ETH transactions are very slow and even it get up to 48 hours or more to get confirmed.

[PinkB]

CryptoKitties is the main issue.but if you pay a good transaction fee you can made transaction successfully. I am using Gwei 50 for making transaction right now.

[RoccoSiffredi]

Because of a group of cute electronic cats from Canada. These people are simply geniuses, blockchain such a small capacity actually used to develop the game. As a result, the ETH blockchain was completely blocked by cats and almost no transfer was possible for all ETHs and ERC20 TOKEN.

Yes I heard about this game and how it badly affect the ETH blockchain, but is there any solution for this soon ?

The only possible solution is to invent a much better platform than Ethereum. Lije it is now, Ethereum has proven its limits.
