Ethereum is so slow

[randal9]

yes, the game captured all the minds...and the whole network in the end...it isn't a pleasant situation

[Crumple Cat]

The kitties braked Ethereum network. I'm starting to get answers to my old question.
What is the real cats potential in startups? In 2016 people have already anticipated it

I assure you that this is only the beginning and I also have the appropriate ambitions

By the way, I admit that Vitalik is a secret creator of CryptoKitties and so amusingly testing the ecosystem.
You just look at his T-shirts and bags

It seems that today the network working normally, relying on Ethgasstation.
I hope that the network is stabilizing, because in recent days it has been impossible to work.

Now puppies will come lol... https://hashpuppi.es/
hahahahha

May be they will use ETH network too?

You must rise gwei to 50 minimum
And give higher fee 81000 minimum

[Rinder]

Be sure of one thing due to the sucess of Cryptokitties, be sure more games like those one will be coming into the next days, we will get dogs, shipts, houses, who know what else people will make with ethereum blockchain, the only thing thats im sure is this will become expensive to traders wich were using those network before, as bitcoin ethereum got a lot transactions delayed, and looks like there isnt a solution to handle those neither more similiar games.

[zokizuan]

Cryptokitties destroyed the ETH network, but i think its just a matter of time before the situation come back to the normal. There is a huge hype around this game at the moment.

Is there a problem in ethereum because all of the transaction is very slow. It almost take 2-3 hours before receiving the sent tokens. What is the cause of this issue? is this related to the dump price of eth

The amount of transactions increased very rapidly due to Crypto Kitties. You can see for yourself here (https://etherscan.io/txsPending), there are many pending transactions and the gas price for successful transaction is changed dramatically (I used GWEI 0.1 before and now you need something like GWEI 50 to get your transaction verified).

[Smolko]

Where do these kitties actually come from?

[xiaohang07]

Ethereum is slow, but its documentation and its development tools are mature enough for programmers to really do something on it.

[setifien19]

It's due to "CryptoKitties DApp" which is an online game where users can collect and breed virtual cats ; it uses etherium blockchain , the thing that has led to this slowness .
PS : it becomes one of the most smart contract on the Eth blockchain with more than 4% of the total transaction volume

Are you kidding?
This is an eternal battle.
But judging by the main page, I don't feel a threat to the kitties

yes increase the gas so you can do your transaction normaly.

maybr there will be more games that use eth network. it would be good if ethereum able to handle it. there is high expectation and great potential for games world

Thats why it's dumping. The flaw is in the core protocol and not easily fixed if fixable at all.

Nice! I want Dinosaurs TOO!

[vendy86]

for me its not worth use big GAS just for send token....
better i wait situation back to normal,or ETH Dev do something about it.
soon or later people will bored with this kitties

[lekam0213]

Funny that a small game that has you collecting and breeding cats which you can sell takes up 15-20% of the network.

It so sad to see that what they made (crytokitties) affects also the ethereum they made. What's with that kitties? why they allow this to happen? I hope they can fix this asap because it is really affecting us.

Cannot be "Fixed" all they can do is mitigate some of the stress it creates. Also there are more to come so get used to it.

ETH is realy faster cryptocurrency of transaction for bitcoin.
I used was because the network is running fine now and fees are back to normal. Gwei std is back to 20-25 based on ethgasstation.info. Just sent some ETH to one of my wallets and the transaction confirmed and reflected within 3 minutes.

[Altero]

The congested network is the cause of this issue. The ETH network is currently 100% full and that is why transactions are taking longer than usual to get confirmed. It is required to have atleast 50000 gas limit for the transaction to be confirmed in a couple of hours. Lower gas limits will eventually take a longer time to be confirmed.

Ethereum now is facing troubles with the system and heavy loads that cause in slowing transactions to confirmed. But there is another option is by changing gas limit into higher and it will gives you chances for a faster confirmation. This is what I've did awhile ago..
