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 ?

If you like the game maybe you will also like the Reality-Clash ARG game which thier token also run on ETH network. If you have been in the forum for months you should have heard of it because they run a successful ICO here as well. I don't know if they will also cause the clog but will sure enjoy the game after its released. Its a combat game which we the users in the network can shoot each.

A game like pokemon would be the perfect match aswell. Imagine a finite number of pokemon which exist in the world and you have to go find them using augmented reality. Once you do and you catch them no one else can claim ownership because of the blockhchain, and you can then sell/breed it.

Also do you remember how crazy the pokemon go craze was at its height? If ethereum gets to the point it can handle that kind of traffic that would be the perfect type of introduction for the mass market, proving itself, creating hype and teaching people about it all at the same time.

It is going to be good for gamers and gaming ecosystem i think, but not good for the masses because the gas price is getting more expensive.

It would be a very good thing for ethereum, if it could handle it, which it can't yet.

Vitalik is working on improving the scalability of ethereum as we speak which will allow it to handle high volumes, but it won't be ready any time soon and so focused development with use by a small and dedicated community is the best thing for ethereum right now to let it test the network.

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.

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

Perhaps fate gives us a chance to buy cats at $ 20 until they cost as bitcoin $ 18,000. Grin

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.

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.

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 Shocked

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 Grin

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
