Topic: CryptoKitties is mental (Read 1079 times)
CryptoKitties are really mental. My friend draw in them totally, and he can’t stop but breed and collect that cats, want to unlock rare traits to have his own adorable cats with unique Cattributes inherited from parents. Nice game for cat fans.
In my opinion, there should be a balance in growth and we can base Bitcoin, which since the end of 2008 has been gaining its space as a project and as a brand. With this concept in mind, when seeing new projects being stimulated to great values, we must observe the graphics and also the informative duration in the media. We can compare this effect when it launched Zcash(Laughter).
It was a crazy time. Ethereum was not set up for what Cryptokitties was throwing at it transaction wise. Then for these kinds of transactions ETH would be relatively expensive these days. If the next project like that is not intended as an act of sabotage they might be better off on a cheaper platform but then Ethereum is the biggest ecosystem by far at the moment.
Was the first project who democratize NTFS coin!
Today there are a lot of similar games like Cryptokitties. The developers promise a lot of profit, but in reality it is very difficult to withdraw something. And if it turns out it is not more than $ 10. And you will have to spend a lot of time on the game. If you just want to find entertainment for yourself, then you can play, but you won't be able to make money there.
I’m just trying to understand how this specific product and other cryptocurrency based collectible products work. Do you own just a text string that represents a visual product of does the visual product exists on the blockchain?
For example, let’s say you own Cryptokitty “Tom” (I just made this up) which has a funny little face and a yellow crown on the head, do you own that image on the blockchain or do you own string XYZ which a website matches with that image of the cat with a crown? If that website one day dies, are you just left with a text string?
You own string XYZ that will be matched by the website with your kitties. I meant the site will take the token ID as the identification to get the date for your kittie. For example, let’s say you own Cryptokitty “Tom” (I just made this up) which has a funny little face and a yellow crown on the head, do you own that image on the blockchain or do you own string XYZ which a website matches with that image of the cat with a crown? If that website one day dies, are you just left with a text string?
If the website dead and your token ID will be useless because it can't detect your kitties.

it's very complete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoKittiesI remember it, the guy that caused the ETH network congestion. But looking back on it now, after the outbreak of DeFi it came back and attracted a lot of attention. But could it be a success when it comes back, when there are so many new projects created and of good quality. Agree 'CryptoKitties is mental'.

One question I have on Cryptokitties. Do you own the image of the kitten, is it stored in the blockchain, or do you just own a text string?
Please watch the telegram group and this is a scam. So many people are getting deceived and they have not got their tokens until now. Forget about this garbage project and you must move on. This is stored in the blockchain and it's called NFT. The team has no idea about the implementation.
This is a scam

Cryptokitties is a very fun game
I hope the hype of this game not make any other transaction is distracted. Many Altcoins bussiness is craze about this nonsense hype.
Good game, but the fee to transfer ETH too big! I do not think so reasonable, as a game!
I have play a few hours on Cryptokitties with ETH and I cannot still understand the concept of it exactly and it's too much painful to me for trading/playing on cryptokitties. What is the value of the kitties?
How could you say it is a good games? As you still didn't understand the concept and goal of it. Actually, it is just to make money and to clog ETH network. They actually did success. But if ETH value slip, they are going to lose money.

I hope the network clears. Cryptokitties seems like it can be lucrative at first glance, although I suppose the network is clogged because others have the same ideas as me. I signed up for it and checked it out. Haven't bought anything yet, but it seems like a decent idea if it somehow doesn't clog the Ethereum blockchain. Are the current fees to breed the kitties super expensive?
People have to stop joining cryptokitties because it makes ethereum network hanged . I have spent a few hours on Cryptokitties website and I cannot still understand the concept of it exactly and it's too much painful to me for trading/playing on cryptokitties .
So i know it's the world of cryptocurrency, plus it's the internet but I seriously underestimated the impact CryptoKitties would have. It's proper booming! I'm assuming it will be a fad but still, fair play and credit where it's due!
Doesn't suprise me that much, these senseless games always find a sweet spot by people. Look at tamagotchi or those mobile games you play such as clash of clans(?) they're an utter timewaste but its like watching tv, it takes your mind of of something
Right on point. How about the creepy pokemon games that made a lot of people crazy for sometime. Anytime later people will tire with this and realize it was a waist of time and money. At least pokemon didn't screw any other networks, unlike these kitties, make ethereum sick.
Other BlockChains are ready for games.
Mining is good/bad. In the long run mining slow all down.
Universa could be the next big.

Crazy A. The whole network if unusable ATM.
This is the funniest and most creative attack on a cryptocurrency I ever seen. This cryptokitties things showcases how much of a failed experiment Ethereum is. A network that gets unusable because people start trading virtual kitten pets with it. How ridiculous. I tried to warn people that something like this would sooner or later happen, but nobody wanted to listen. Now ETH network is collapsing while BTC holders hit all time highs everyday.
I wonder what will happen if things continue this way. I don't even understand if Ethereum developers are aware of this ugly development. Maybe it's a hack of Ethereum blockchain. They should talk to us!
So i know it's the world of cryptocurrency, plus it's the internet but I seriously underestimated the impact CryptoKitties would have. It's proper booming! I'm assuming it will be a fad but still, fair play and credit where it's due!
Why people buy these kitties?
I am still confused by these kitties. I still don't know what they are or their purpose really and why so many people are into them that they even jam the ETH network.
Thats a bad move for Ethereum developers,such game can easily destroy its network,it pitty them for it.

These types of games are what people would want because they can easily earn something. It cannot be controlled, I've seen the game and there are many people playing it. And now I am irritated because of the slow network because of the game.
This game can be a game of the future. But I find it really annoying because it has congestion the network. Hope developers soon resolve this situation
Now I am curious what this game has that could bring down the second trusted altcoin in the crypto world! I've been aiming to buy BTC or ETH for two days now but due to the blockchain congestion that's been running for days now, I can't find a teller that has funds! 
Hope Vitalik and the team could do something about this.

I don't know what to say but literally it annoys me, the whole ethereum network is clogged by the kitties, yes they are cute you can earn by the new kittens, but fir the token holders who wants to buy and sell off their tokens the gas is going crazy gwei needs up to 50 or 60 unlike before gwei is only 4. The whole ethereum industry is affected hoping they will do something about the gas price.
Crypto-world is affected with this kittie game how i wish it will end as soon as possible. I don't want to waste more fees for trading on etherdelta and some transactions are nowhere to be found. Although i like kitties in real world but this digital cats really caused a big problem. Im hoping they will find a solution to dispatch this kitties.
This is insane and how can this whole crypto world be taken seriously after something like that?
You never know. It could be some small application like this that gets the masses to use it.

This is the money game in the vanilla sky. It looks cute but what are profits you will get this is unclear thing. Maybe I am too old. For some teenagers it will be all right to get some dollars just by playing.

Crazy A. The whole network if unusable ATM.
Plus: Ethereum doesnt work, bitcoin doesnt work, i do not know what else to do.
Bitcoin is going up to the sky, but it is unsable, so what is the sense of seeing it going over twenty thousand dollars if we are not able to send a single transaction without having to wait hours to get it confirmed?
i am getting tired of this.
Have you noticed that since cryptokitties was launched the whole network is more slow? Is this a coincidence?
Yes i feel the same. All network is very slow. So how to solve this problem?
I am tired to wait small transaction in etherium for longer time rather than before.
It is normally send just one minute but now. Crazy.
Because of these Crypto Kitties, we have seen the vulnerabilities of Ethereum and ERC20-based tokens. It created scaling issues to the blockchain causing delays in all transactions and congestion of most exchanges. Hope they remedy this soon or risk of ERC20-based coins falling in prices.
Bitcoin seems to benefit from this though. Look at its soaring price.

I'm convinced it will be a fad! It's a poor version of a tamogotchi which was once the 'in' thing, they tried to re-release it not too long ago and it bummed out. Once people get past the hype, they wont want to be playing a 90s game where every movement is a microtransaction.
It's really highlighted how vulnerable Ethereum is though and I'm sure those who have recently been saying BTC will burst and Ether will be the future king have gone back under their rocks.
Ultimately blockchain isnt designed for games but the scalability really isnt there at current times ... interesting times ahead

Look, personally I'm not against the microtransactions, but only MICRO
If cryptokittens were created on some blockchain with really FIXED MICRO fees (like 1 cent or smaller) — they would be a great game!
But paying 5-8 bucks for every action.. come on guys, this is not funny at all.
I can't pay such price for stupid game, it's ridiculous.
Anyway, despite on Ethereum network issues last weeks I still think that kitties is a great case for all the world. It shows the great idea based on a poor fundament.
It reveals many problems of Ethereum and cryptocurrencies in general.

The prices are starting to stagnate right now though, so we should see a decrease in number of transactions going through the platform. But still it was a crazy start for such a "meaningless" game (in my peoples eyes, i myself found it to be very interesting as an experiment on ethereum).
The hellbis with those kitties.
I have been in their website and I cannot still understand the concept of it.
This should be fixed very fast. People are getting angry with how transactions are going on.
Hell, I am trying to buy one coin from etherdelta and i was like snobbed and didnt receive anything.
I shouldve been at profit now.

i hope people can stop join cryptokitties because it makes ethereum network bad i now using
ethereum blockchian is very inconvenience . we need to pay more fee for trading
Indeed, why do people use cryptokitties, if they themselves create inconvenience? Or is it all the same done in order to show the weaknesses of the ethereum ethereum blockchian is very inconvenience . we need to pay more fee for trading
please can someone clarify this new concept for me kitties and please teel me how do they relate to ether? are they a good thing or a bad thing? can someone please clarify?
It's pretty simple, the game is extremely popular and every move whether trading, breeding, buying is a token maneuvre on the Ethereum blockchain. Last I heard Kitties were 15% of all ETH transactions.
i believe cryptopets is already underway!
Unfortunately this case shows the vulnerability of the ethereum network. I hope that the Raiden fork will fix this kind of problems with scalability.

I still can not believe that there is so much transaction for buying kittens so they locked up the whole system. Probably, bunch of people created that hype and others jumped in. It will be ended like Pokemon Go!
Next game to be developed is crypto dogs then crypto farm.... Watch this space... People tend to cling onto these novilty games its quiet unbeilevable... Just hope it doesnt fuk up the ethereum price and network
A friend told ma about cryptokitties a day or two ago, I am glad I did not contribute to it. Also, after reading the above posts I just realized that it is somehow related to the downfall of the ETH. Not that I lost much, but i should have reacted sooner and avoided any stress from the last couple of days...
Anyone know why people buy these Kitties? Maybe I don't see the important reason.
So i know it's the world of cryptocurrency, plus it's the internet but I seriously underestimated the impact CryptoKitties would have. It's proper booming! I'm assuming it will be a fad but still, fair play and credit where it's due!
CryptoKitties is the latest craze in blockchain era innovation, but the real problem is blockchain wasn't created to play games, and effects we can see now. I was accumulating Tokens today on EtherDelta:
- Oyster Pearl [PRL]
- QuantStamp [QSP]
- SunContract [SNC]
I paid 7.50$ in fees only just to purchase this Tokens, I didn't transfer them back to my wallet even!
I have nothing against games, I like to play games but this idea putting the game on blockchain? Stupid, investors suffer now!
For 3 transaction I should pay 0.012$, not 7.50$. I wish this game never existed in first place, useless waste of resources. I read on their Facebook page even users playing this stupid game can't log in and play because to network issues.
I don't think this situation will change quickly, because of HIGH fees we paying to ETH network.
The Kitties craze, i hope it stops really soon. Most of my holdings are erc20 tokens and so, business is not moving. Or if i insist, I'll have to spend some serious amount of fees for every transaction.
It's just another fad like Flappy Bird was only this time it's a crypto game. Once it inevitably dies off and people move on to the next nonsense thing, it will all return to normal.
Completely true and the thing we should do now is wait until that thing dies and lost interest by people because if that thing happen just like on most thing hyped up do easily pass up and move on into a new one which is common or normal thing for people to do.For now since its still booming up then we would still suffer on very slow confirmation because of the congestion of the network.It do really sucks but we cant do nothing but to wait until the hype is already depleted.

Much as you love Cryptokitties and all the praises and endorsement. It is now causing a monumental problem in the Ethereum system as transaction are now at snail speed and it is now causing a lot problems.

Lot of my friends joint and kinda getting crazzy bout this kitties stuff, I will wait for another chance to buy CryptoLarva or CryptoShark, cryptoshark doo..doo..doo.dooo...cryptoshark doo...doo....dooo. LOL, wth with those ppl.
I think a lot of people might notice that these kitties are useness, but they bet they are not the last batch of people who want to buy the kitty. Then they will buy and make some money out from breeding and selling.
I suspect that many many people in it don't give a single iota about these kitties whatsoever and are simpy in it to make money, some of them are selling for ridiculous sums and those people are profiting from the ones who somehow value a digital kitten that highly.
