Ethereum is so slow because of kitties boom, they occupy most of the eth transactions

This slow network shit has killed the exchange EtherDelta. Its practicly impossible to trade there now with these wait times if you want to pay a normal fee. I liked etherdelta, it was a good use of the smart contract, too bad vatilik destroyed the coin.

It's really funny that Cryptokitties can slow down the Big Blockchain like Ethereum, and Until today it makes sense of this issues and no further action to make it more faster or like before

Cryptokitties are the main reason why there's a very slow network for ethereum these days.

we just need time to fight this crazy cat game, and in my opinion this popularity will not last long.
wait while vitalik take steps and start updating system.
I don't know if there is something that Vitalik do to make these cryptokitties problem solve.
we must believe that vitalik are thinking about this issue.
and just wait for what will happen after this there will be some good news from him maybe in 2018.
He sure is thinking about it, his coin will be blamed by too many traders if he's not going to do something about it. I don't have any insight about that "good news" you are talking about. Can you give some idea on what is it all about? Well out of this slow transactions ETH reaches $633 just now.

The increase in the number of transactions in the network is the reason, you need to put high gas price and fee in order for your transaction to be confirmed fast.

It was so slow indeed due to network congestion. Everyone complaining about slow transactions and ICOs participants could not complete transactions. Now its fixed though.

Not only slow, it is also expensive. Maybe the developer of ETH is planning to change the minimum gas price per transaction now since bitcoin's market value reaches new high at 18,000 USD lately.
But if this is just coding glitch, i hope that it will be fix very soon because my transactions in ETH are almost dead.

Vitalik was working on Raiden which is similar to Lightning Network, but im not sure if it's as good as Lightning Network, or a worse quality workaround. And don't forget the cryptokitties stuff is happening on-chain, ETH can't never get around this problem, it is too complex on-chain, by design, making it a mess when it comes to being conservative on the blockchain size..

Yes, me too, I think Cryptokittie is the problem. According to ETH Gas Station the CryptoKitties game accounts for over 10% of network traffic on Ethereum. When the traffic rises, the transaction speed will be slower. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42237162
I agree with you, many members of my country are discussing this issue too and they say that ethereum network is experiencing pending transactions due to the many queues of transactions there, may be renewed or further development of the ethereum network.

I started to hate bitcoin's slowness basically carried out to ethereum. I was planning to make quick trades and it basically made me kill all my plans. This problem should be solved.
That's the problem if many more traders will feel the same it will reflect to the project itself, I understand that this kitty is bringing some attention
but sacrificing the actual transactions,making more delays will let investors to think twice before using Eth as the base for their transactions better
to think for the solution before more traders jump to another project.

The problem is when the cryptokitties developers was not putting the limited amount for the gwei and gas limit to their transaction. Like what already did by mew developer. When the network traffic will be very high and a lot of the crypto kitties user will try to put the more gwei and gas price. this makes the average transaction fees will be increase. The old transaction will be on the low priority to be validated by the block.

Ethereum is facing issues with the congested network but the ETH transaction fee is very low when compared to BTC transaction fee.
If the gas limit is set high then the transaction will get confirmed soon and you will receive the coins in your wallet within minutes.
Even if the gas limit is set very high it will not exceed 0.003 eth which is not even 0.0001 BTC . So I don't think it is much of an issue when compared to BTC.

I'm not really informed about Ethereum but I've seen a lot of threads circulating here discussing the Crypto Kitties DApp (decentralized application) that slowed the network down. It might be still the case or maybe even more DApps got released? The attention in the media for Ethereum also could have been  a cause for the slow network as this also results in more traffic on the network.

The main cause to the slow network is the CryptoKitties DApp, this Dapp is responsible for a bit more than 10 % of all transactions!
 

yes, that game ruin the lives of many traders. i hope they'll just remove those kitties so we could live a happy trading life. I don't get it why many people play those boring digital cats, i heard one kitten sold for about 10,000 USD.

set your gas high so it willl be prioritized to the next block my transactions are going through  50 gas, this kitty hype are the main reason as everyone of us know that.
This will be resolve soon, they are working now with new upgrades.
