Topic: Tell me I'm wrong: Does cryptokitties expose the weaknesses of ETH? (Read 1190 times)

I'm more of the principle that what doesn't kill the ETH network, makes it stronger. Vulnerabilities or not, if the team of developers is there to fix and make things better depending on what issues arise in time, that's some real value long term.
Exactly, this highlighted the need for scalability to be a high priority and while it already was it might give the developers further encouragement to come up with a truly infinitely scalable solution that will enable ETH to be the leader in the cryptomarket. Issues are only a problem for as long as they remain issues.

You are right it has somewhat exposed the biggest issue that eth network has to deal with in the near future that is scalability, i hope the network will be upgraded to make it according to the future growth and demand.

So this piece of news came out: https://www.coindesk.com/goodbye-ethereum-kik-plans-move-ico-tokens-stellar/
Now I don't think too highly of KIK but I do know it's got (or had! lol) good name recognition, especially among some online gaming communities where it's the messenger of choice. So when I read something like this, it really does make me wonder whether ETH can react quickly enough to fix all the scaling problems exposed by Cryptokitties. Because news like this looks pretty bad.

Actually yes it is,cryptokitties show us the truth whether it is worthy or not to invest in ethereum,i just dump all my ethereum and bought LTC instead.
Unless you need the smart contract function.

The lagging on ETH transfers today because of one dumb game is a real problem in my opinion. Is this merely a stress test - can ETH easily roll out a fix? Or is this the chance for ETH competitors to swoop in and show how they have better platforms? I was really trying to build up a little ETH portfolio so today's developments have me literally going 
Can those of you more familiar with what's going on please explain if this is a glitch in the matrix or a long-term issue?

If you look at it like this, every coin that you know have weaknesses. Whether they will claim that they can attack Ethereum and get away with it has to be shown with proof. Can those of you more familiar with what's going on please explain if this is a glitch in the matrix or a long-term issue?

What are the best alternatives in terms of smart contracts for Dapps?
Am I right in thinking that nothing is proven in the same way as Ethereum but lots of interesting projects have betas or key milestones early next year?

Absolutely yes. If just a kitten joke can crash a platform which pretends to become the infrastructure of the world, imagine what mass adoption would provoke...

Ethereum reached the ATH of 800K transactions in a day, record for a public blockchain. Transactions are still faster and cheaper than bitcoin.
Then yes scaling solution are needed (both on and off chain) to have multiple Dapps running smoothly on the public network. Developers are working on it and many solutions are on the way (sharding, POS, etc...)

Yes surely is,ethereum's network is so fragile with its lack of developer's skill to maintain their own system,funny it is? kitty just killed ethereum.
December 08, 2017, 01:19:04 PM
We already knew about scaling issue, its hust that we hit the wall now. Hope they fix it soon 
December 08, 2017, 12:04:07 PM
Yeah, IMHO, This kitties can expose what ETH need to do for long term project. The scalabity, how can the simple game like that can shut ETH slowly. Hope ETH can make any progress of their Network.

How easy of a fix is it, though? Can ETH quickly and effectively make the changes needed in order for it to be able to support several DAPPS in addition to regular traffic and all the additional traffic from upcoming ICOs?
I'm asking because I genuinely want to understand where the strong support for ETH on this board stems from. I am still rather new to the all of this, particularly the technical side of things.

Yes it does show a weakness, but every good system needs to be stress tested regularly to make sure it can deal with volume. This has just highlighted an issue and will make ETH stronger.
December 08, 2017, 08:37:06 AM
We maybe I can assess it as a weakness that we could know all we need to know and what the reason was, of course, that is something that the competition cant avoid if we blame one party for us and it causes us to be get unilateral thinking and we must be able to monitor and seek an advantage by finding the weak spots and exploit opportunities.

One thing most people do not understand is that stuffs like this will always help prevent spam attacks on the Ethereum network and for those who think Eth is exempted because they have been having it cool for a while; they are welcome to the blockchain atmosphere.Can those of you more familiar with what's going on please explain if this is a glitch in the matrix or a long-term issue?
It can happen to any network, once it gets congested and because a lot of attention has been on bitcoin, people have criticized it a lot, but I guess they all have something to say about Ethereum now.
December 07, 2017, 06:48:43 PM
Yes it does, but with every system stress tests are always needed to see what the capabilities are and how to improve it.
Imagine if ETH was adopted globally in society right now? This allows the developers to sort out issues before it becomes a bigger problem. I know some people are angry about the kitties but ETH will come back stronger from it.
On account of this, I think the price for ETH may decrease - if these problems do not resolve, and if mistakes are corrected and everything gets better - there will be an increase in value. In any case, there is a possibility of the development of such events. Imagine if ETH was adopted globally in society right now?

Is Ethereum really slower than Bitcoin? I've just looked up number of pending transactions, ethereum has 22000-23000, bitcoin has +216000
