I think this game is so popular that it can cause congestion on Ethereum network, looks interesting I was curious to try this game
Hopefully i get a rare cat Grin

It's an app where you can buy kittens for crypto, tune them up and then sell them for more. Yeah, sounds like bullshit, but it got hype

CryptoKitties allows anyone within the Ethereum network to purchase or sell breedable cartoon kittens. The decentralized structure of the Ethereum network disallows the alteration of ownership or production of fraudulent kittens, providing value to the kittens as collectibles with scarcity and rarity.

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 didn't know it could take up that much in that short time span..looks like it's easy for some competition to attack the eth network with projects like this.

Yeah god damn game is breaking the Internet. Eh Ethereum network. Vitalik better get his ETH 2.0 up and running real quick. How is it that one ETH game causes everything to become slow and expensive?

And now I know for sure we have a lot of rich young people online. Selling digital cats for 250 ETH? Even now I see the cheapest one is 0.7 ETH. I don't even spend this much money to buy games.

Ok I admit, I am playing the game, but the cost is too much for me so I withdraw. I think.

From what I saw, the cheapest cat was like 30$. So you need like 60$ to buy 2 Cats and let them have fun and you get a new cat Grin

it's a website where you can pet virtual kitties and then sell them to other people for eth. I read an article recently that it was big thing. I'm not sure how exactly it works but I'm just giving you what I saw on their website. similar to video games I guess. I heard their users were clogging up the eth network. Cheesy

It's a real madness, when people are ready to pay thousands of dollars just for a virtual kitten. More of that is that ETH network is still suffering from those kittens. I can't understand why people invest in this game instead of investing in some porfitable ICOs?

Well, if i have the option to choose a ICO or buying a crypto kittie, I would go for a crypto kittie for real. ICOs are so scammy at the moment...

I think that this is useless project, which only loads the ETH-network. My morning transactions have not yet done, it`s terrible. These are simple pictures on the screen...

Cryptokitties is like a proof-of-concept of what is possible on Ethereum - imagine kitties replaced with other in-game items etc. Unfortunately, it's also revealed that Ethereum, once again, can't handle high volume.

The game is nice and it is the first successful platform running completely on Ethereum and a browser (you need to install a chrome extension "metamask" to use it as a wallet).

Then too many transactions are generated by the game (developers should have thought it better) and it's plogging the ethereum network.

omg can't believe this.thats why my ed tokens and transactions don't work....missing opportunities because of this.

yeah, that is one of the many flaws in ethereum platform combined with the fact that it can not handle large number of transactions properly and you will have to wait until the backlog disappears or you have to pay a high price (like fee) for your transactions.
