Being the simple game on the blockchain, actually the first one in this market, CruptoKitties will become the real marker for the blockchain usability!
Many Projects claims to be the worldwide but only a few of them will give the things go in the right mode after this game launch.
And for now we have the biggest network in the world is clogged by the simple CryptoKitties app.

It seems to be adults, cryptotraders and such a stupid occupation that also loads the broadcast network, unfortunately

Crypto kitties is the world first blockchain games. In the game you collect and trade kitties I am really skeptical about the game as is ask you for your ethereum private keys

I didnt check out this kitty game and wont do so, but if they ask for your private key, you definitely should not give it to them. This is the most stupid thing that one could do and this could/ will end up in all your funds stolen. Its good that you are being suspicious! But to be honest I cant believe that they are asking for the private key, otherwise this would have been tagged as a massive scam already but so far I didnt read something like this yet. They might ask for the public key to connect your wallet to your account on their website, but for what would they need the private key? Would make no sense in my opinion.

Who in their right mind is paying 250 eth for a digitally drawn cat? What's going on in this world  Grin.

This is some kind of disgrace, I still do not understand what's going on. The Etherium network does not work all day, what will happen next. This is a bad test for the Etherium network.

 LOL. It is the game. Playing it you even can learn more about blockchain. However, I think it is insane to deal with this game and dive into it seriously. Some guys buy these cats for hundreds of ETH!

Thinking on the higher plane of existence.

I read some topics on reddit about crypto kitties and some people that they sold their kitties for 250ETH? WTF?
What is this ?
I have no clue what it is, but I am 100% sure it is the reason why the Ethereum network is bery slow at the moment. I need to pay 50 Gwei in order to have a normal speed transaction. Even with that Etherdelta is giving errors.

You are right, this game devours 15% of the ether network, and already as the second day the ether network got up. I can not imagine if we allow several such projects to be launched simultaneously, we will bury the ether forever.
I think this crypto kitties reveal one of the weakness of ethereum network.  More of this kind will make the value of ethereum lower and worst may become zero.

How does one get the first kitten? Dont everyone start with one? Do i need to buy one? Sad

If you want to buy a kitty you have to install MetaMask first and than create an account at CryptoKitties. Of course you will need ETH to buy kitty, you will need it also for every other transaction. 

You can try to start with one kitty but they recommend to start with two so you can  breed them.

Crypto-seals are crazy for the etherium network. They have already brought up the etherium network and continue to do so. Someone naturally earns on this. And I think that if this happens, it means that someone needs it.

I've noticed a lot of anger, frustration, and confusion towards CryptoKitties in the daily thread over the last few days (along with plenty of joy, wonder, and excitement).

For those who don't understand and/or lack the imagination, pretend for a moment that the ERC 721 tokens which represent all the individual kitties on the blockchain didn't represent cats at all. Imagine, instead, that they represented:

loot items in World of Warcraft
rare cards in online collectible card games
plots of land in Arizona
corporate stocks from Fortune 100 companies that trade on NASDAQ or the NYSE
Does that make more sense to you now? People aren't necessarily excited about the actual cats themselves, they're excited by the endless possibilties that this demonstrates.

Go look at the online marketplace they've created. Look at the user interface. Fire up your imagination and envision a world where 'digital drawings of cats' are just one of the many, many, MANY assets being traded in the Ethereum eco-system.

THIS is precisely what gives Ether its value: the ability to create, tokenize, and trade things on the blockchain. And this is the reason that CryptoKitties was deployed to the Ethereum blockchain and NOWHERE ELSE -- not Bitcoin, not Dash, not ETC (lol ETC). If you're mad about CryptoKitties, you're missing the whole point -- this isn't a distraction from the price, this is exactly the reason that ETH rose 5000% over the past year.

Yes, it's silly and it's goofy, but it's a proof of concept. It demonstrates to the world what is currently possible, RIGHT NOW, in the Ethereum eco-system. ETHEREUM, and nowhere else. It's not about the cats, it's about the future potential of the whole protocol.


Great post, I think this sums it all  up nicely..

I too, at first, was kinda mad, wondering what this silly thing was that's clogging up the network and stuffing up my trades.
After doing some research and hearing that people are making literally thousands in Ether off these things, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to find out what it was all about. I've now been glued to the Kitties for the last 2 days and must say, its actually really cute and addictive.

It has also been a great way to introduce Ethereum to my teenage stepkids. They've been helping me buy and sell Kitties all afternoon so it gave me a good chance to teach them about how the Ether wallet works and how to set the gas price etc. I think this is great for introducing crypto to new people who would otherwise feel daunted by it.

Anyway, I'm almost ashamed to say that I've spent 0.2 ETH today on digital kitties but I'm trying my luck at breeding some good ones..
We'll see how it goes  Cheesy Wink


Also...

Is there some link where I can get more info about this game? I am not referring to there official site(I read that already) but some game tips from people that are already playing.

For two days this topic became very popular and received about 15 thousand views. It's funny. Cats got in to the world of crypto currency))) I think soon this project will also be quickly forgotten by community. Or maybe we should create a Kittiecoin?)))

I have heard that it is a viral game, causing the eth network to clog, at the same time I think that no game should be able to congest a serious project like etherum on this scale.

It's very surprising to me that a small little game like this can really "kill" 1/5th of the whole network.

Is this mania at least slowing down or its picking more momentum? Cant understand how can they reach such a high value.
This cryptokitties is the reason's why eth network become congested. Imagine before we can start a transactions we need to set more gwei than the normal transactions. Im also wondering that it become huge value, hope they can resolve this issues to normal transactions.

   I am also not sure what they are, except they are collectibles which you can breed to get more beautiful or more expencive. But what I want to say I strongly beleive that not strangers really bought kitties for 250 eth or so, owners did it to attract more people and big ethereum ammounts

I really doubt that is the case, maybe in some cases cause every transaction needs to be payed so in that way they lose money
