We're told that crypto-kitties is slowing down the Ethereum network by 10%, but I can't do any transactions at all.

How is it affecting others here?

I think the other people have the same problem with you. the ethereum network got many transactions that need to confirm and they need to wait for a long time. I am sure that this problem will be solved soon or now the transaction is back to normal again. I do not yet check it because I don't make any transaction on the ethereum network.

New Era of Freelancing

This is a very serious problem. But it doesn't mean Ethereum's network will crashed. Actually it is an advantage for them because they discover at an early time that their networks have flaws.

BitSong is a dcentralized music streaming platform

I think the issue is already slowly fading, I ve traded already in etherdelta unlike last week when cryptokitties are in the mass buying. Definitely this will be solved with even more stronger platform of eth than before, so I think that was a good challenge for eth network.

It is interesting that the price of ETH has basically doubled since CryptoKitties came out.

They have sold $12 million of CryptoKitties already - better than many ICOs. The volume of ETH traded has been $2 billion+ per day - CryptoKitties entire sales are not even 1%. Whatever/whoever is driving the ETH price up, it seems they don't care about network congestion and scaleability issues.

The crypto kitties gives a lot of the demand to the ethereum as the first working dapps and that makes a lot of people are feeling curious about that. But how the txpending in the ethereum blockchain has decreased a lot. It looks the chain runs for well right now and there is no competition to raise the more transaction fees. Crypto kitties just a little problem and we don't need take it seriously. the only good thing about that to gives the more knowledge about the developers about the ethereum is still less on its scalability.

In a short term it is a problem but in a long term it may attract new people to invest in crypto

Does any other platform that claims to be the future (ehem lisk, ark, waves, etc) already have a working dapp that has made developers millionaires? Cryptokitties yes, slowed the network down to its knees but its a good exercise in moving forward. The plans and roadmap for Ethereum's scalability was already known even before cryptokitties was launched. If anything, it just shows that Ethereum is a viable platform where developers can build blockchain applications and profit $$$.

Your Data Belongs To You

This did make me lose money actually.
I did not have eth on my wallet which was needed to transfer tokens to exchange, I had to wait 15 or so hours till it got trough finally.
This time frame made me lose 50% of token price which i was going to sell.

I think it good. They will roll out fixes to improve the network and ETH will be stronger than it was before. So WIN for ETH HODLers

My mule don't like people laughing

I think this exposure is going to light a fire under the ETH developer's asses to get this fixed sooner rather than later. A good thing for everyone imo.

This is a serious problem that showed the shortcomings of the etherium. Although it did not affect the price of the coin too much. I hope in the near future the problem will be solved otherwise I will have to abandon the ether.

It is a very serious problem that is slowing the network. Cry

But this means Ethereum network is not as robust as Vitalik says. Also this means Ethereum has even more scaling problems than Bitcoin, so it could not be a serious way to transfer money online.

Well, I have not been able to carry out the transaction for 3 days, I think the developers should do something. Either further such companies and the network might simply not be able to stand.

Oh, these crypto kittens have spoiled the network, but I do not believe that they can kill the broadcast, the developers have to figure it out, otherwise the etherium will be abandoned by all (
