Topic: What the hell are Crypto kitties? - page 21. (Read 29805 times)
Set aside the impact on the ethereum network, I'm completely baffled by the prices those virtual kitties are traded. Unbelievable!
I think that this situation is good only for MINT tokens because their price grows with gas price growth 
Why not to do the same game with dogs?

Its a game that the developers has released and it cost a lot of damage especially the ETH price and the transaction speed to eth networks.
It's certainly affected ETH's price that's for sure. I am going to have a look at it later on if I can earn some ETH by stroking the pussies 
This game is dumped eth price faster then btc pump.
Because in reality, ethereal is a shitty shit, albeit working. If such a crazy game attracted so much attention, now there will be so many similar toys that I'm afraid to even imagine. blockchain for the sake of seals, it sounds funny)
It's so frustrating, I can't even use etherdelta wit 20gwei
it is just a start. that is how ethereum should work, the Crypto Kitties is not doing anything wrong or out of the ordinary, it is actually using ethereum as everyone else i supposed to use it. the problem is that ethereum is not capable of handling this much usage despite all the things that you hear in the advertisements.
and i say it is just a start because people seem to have liked it and i saw yesterday that someone released some simple tutorial on how to make your own thing similar to this project. and soon there will be more of these and things will become even harder.

I read some topics on reddit about crypto kitties and some people that they sold their kitties for 250ETH? WTF?
What is this ?
Basically, it's a funny n cute way to try your luck)What is this ?
Everything where there are kittens is bounded to be successful
People just love kittens 
This game is dumped eth price faster then btc pump.
I definately won't "play" Crypto Kitties, but I can see the appeal to certain audience. Main thing is more exposure for crypto which will make crypto a part of daily life.
Only thing is it really shows Ethereum can't handle this amount of txs, bad and good, how is Ethereum going to handle all these ICO projects coming online in the next year or two and that have utility tokens being used to fuel their platforms.
Stratis, Ark, Ardor etc need to get up to speed so ICOs can be released on these instead of Ethereum.

Crypto kitties are morelikely a farmville game where you can breed the kitties to get more ethereum like farming in farmville this is why ethereum transactions are super slow today.
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.
It's a digital revolution. Pretty much anything that wouldn't have value otherwise is getting value attached to it. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing when it comes to economy as a whole and not just digitally.
Hello, guys! Today around 5 hours I tried to collect information about CryptoKitties from different sourses. And what I want to share with you:
1. CryptoKitties did a super-duper hype and it's great - I was waiting any interesting crypto-game since winter and couldn't find anything (maybe, you know and could reccomend me smth
) I didn't notice any great game hype since Pokemon Go.
2. if you want to join CryptoKitties - it will take a lot of time: you should know and understand all rules and principles (there are a lot of small-small-small details that make the game). And according some info: every day it will be a gap between new people and the first kitty-holders. Maybe, developers will add special rules or compensation after some period - no idea.
3. the main annoying thing - Ethereum network is almost not working... I was so angry
when I tried to buy 4 kitties I had chosen - and as a result - 4 times my transactions were not completed and I didn't buy any cat but comission was taken every time. Just imagine what can be with Ethereum network if few other hype projects will be released in December... 
And one day such situation could be! That's very upset.

they sold kitties for 250 eth? geez they will be a rich now because its huge money. maybe the game is like pokemon or tamagochi like above said and actually, I am amazed about the game which can attract people to play. although I don't too often play games, sometimes I will try the game later and see how it looks like.
This is not about hate, it's about the timing and disruption to the ethereum network! There are many valuable project depending on the network and many ICO can not be executed as they should!
Why are you guys hating so much on Cryptokitties? Its success only means the Ethereum platform is working as intended (and being improved on a frequent basis). Many more games like this will come in the very near future, and if the scaling solutions are in place to withstand the workload, then Ether is going to explode in adoption (and consequently price as well).
Its a game. Where you can buy kitties images haha. And those kitties have values somehow and i dont know why. Says in the website that, what runs in the network is its details on ownership. Still i dont know why its valuable.
I'm trying also to understand what is wrong the world. Everyone is just talking about them. Even Buterin appreciated those kitties
WTH Cryptokitties? I spend one day away from bitcointalk and come back to find out a blockchain Tamagochi game is revealing flaws in ETH platform while also revealing that people are stupid enough to pay hundreds of dollars for a fake, pixel kitty.
Crypto never ceases to amaze me.
Of course, to most of us it sounds like a pointless project, but I have to hand it to the devs of the game, they found a simple way to earn money. Do they care that they are clogging the network? I highly doubt it. The amount of coding that went into this seems minimal, and I'm thinking they might have used Pokemon Go as a crude model of how something can catch on, become a craze, and it can be capitalized on.
Some things that can potentially come out of this is projects like Chainlink starting to be seen as more essential as scalability issues are readily evident. Solutions that can help to solve this are necessary and worth promoting and investing in. The problem with Chainlink is that there is no actual working product yet nor is there any indication that one will come out soon...
