How dangerous are new projects for the real use of blockchain? We have already seen the story of the CryptoKitties, which brought down the Ethereum network. Can this happen again now? What projects can now grow in such a way that will affect the work of the network itself?

Hmm??? I think no1 can break down the Ethereum network . Ethereum already built a strong community and a strong partenership with other many icos. There are milions of users that use it

Casper is coming... We will see how ETH switch from POW to POS soon.
But at first, if you want to earn on staking, you would need to have 1500 ETH (Later they promise to decrease this digit to 32 ETH).

What else can offer us the games with the blockchain use?

There is Mobile Go project, for example. They releasing tokens for the cybersport tournaments.

and this is only one example in the whole eth network. there're lots of project with huge potential, and sooner or later ice would push back.

Well, let's see how that works out for every other project when used on the large scale. For now, the only project that has been used on a large scale when it comes to smart contract as well as smart contract gaming is Ethereum, which is why it would always be easy for Ethereum to keep developing faster the more to get things right as they market and network keeps challenging and the more such things happen and things are gotten right, the more it would be for more faith to be in the Ethereum project when it comes to smart contract usage, but that does not mean there still will not be a chance for other ones.

A lot of controversy about ETH. Of course it will survive and can be bypassed in the price of bitcoin. But this is one of the versions, and perhaps it will be so that it will NOT leave the market and only bitcoin will remain. We can only guess.

Any good project will learn from its mistakes. I think ETH devs will have learnt some lessons from the effect of Cryptokitties on the network. ETH is a very strong project, and whilst I'm sure there are plenty of bumps in the road to come, it will survive. Plus the market at the moment isn't as feverish as it was when Cryptokitties started, so I don't think it will happen again.

Yes that can happen anytime again if something new comes out and gets people's interest.

As long as there are many people using the network and transferring at the same that will cost a congestion. Just like in real life, even the biggest highways are becoming full and in traffic when vast cars are arriving altogether in season.

That is the thing, and this is the reason why a lot of projects need to be coming up with scaling solution. We have seen Ethereum developers come out with some and although it has not been tested yet, but we all just hope at least it is going to help solve some of the problems we have had in the past regarding scaling issues.

Crypto kitten taught us a lesson and then made the developers to realize their network could be congested after all, and now there is just a need for a better development to be able to get the whole influx of games in place without ruining anything for the Ethereum network.

I heard that Ethereum is working hard on scaling its own platform because of the CryptoKitties debacle. It really disrupt its network and overwhelm the system specially last year. Or course its going to happen not only in Ethereum but other platforms as well. But just like any other hype, CryptoKitties will just die along the way and new games will pop up that's why devs really need to keep an eye specially on how to scale their projects.

I agree that this is a two-way process. Developed affect the network, the network affects the devs, you know.

I haven't heard anything about good gameplay for such projects. Not so sure about the Ethereum network, but cryptokitties and others (numerous of) are same: buy something that's correlated with the project's token. Technically those are not real games, but another sauce to sell us more dishes called scammy ICO tokens.

I don't know where you heard about cryptokitties and other ethereum games, but they are not scam. It's a collective game with microtransactions.
It's just a game and they are not stealing people's money. They have done a great job and many other projects just copied them.

Eth network had problems when cryptokitties released, but it was just for a few days/hours and never happened again. It was a good network test and was positive for the network. If ethereum is to grow, many games like this are going to be online

CEO of coinbase has invested in cryptokitties, but a lot of people realized about the fact that it's a child's game and no more. what's the usefulness of collecting the cat? It's a boring game and a lot of people have been staying away from there until there will be a good feature that makes the cat will be useful.

Yeah, big investors have the ability to invest in outrageous and high-profile projects. And they do not have to be profitable. Many imitate them, unfortunately, not having so many assets, only great risks.

Yes, it was a test for the entire network. But crypto cats were the only ones. What will happen to the network if such projects will be many times more?

Ethereum so far is still trying to come up with scaling solution which I believe they are really trying hard to get and until then before we will be able to know if influx of games on the Ethereum network will become something pretty easy to come by in the long run.

Like you said, we all know how cryptokitties alone got the whole Ethereum blockchain drooling as a result of overloaded and congested network and then high fees. Although, as time goes on, I believe there would be solutions in place that would help to see things in different light but we are not there yet.

yep, it's a bilateral process. developers influence the network, the network influences developers, you know Wink

It is also necessary to take into account the fact that during testing for the updating of the ethereum blokchain , many errors were made due to the fault of miners who did not update the software in time. Especially since they were prematurely warned about this.

Lol. So true.
It is just another hype which affected the crypto market because of fools trying to make profits as fast as they want.

Somehow they will all go down in a rush just like how they started it.

I know Ethereum will be back even if Vitalik says things in his imaginary world.
The market is being phased by people and not by his mind.
He just have to keep on doing his part on his job.
Let the market be for the people.

There may always be something that will disturb the work of the entire Network - thats why are hard forks. Anyway, I think, that Ethereum is already so strong that it will be able to handle such "attack" as a few cryptokitties .. If not now, it will be in a few months when delayed hard fork will be made.

Yeah, large investors can easily to invest in some outrageous and high-profile projects. They don't have to be profitable btw. Others try to imitate them. Unfortunately, it leads to the huge risks because of the lack of assets.

There are numerous spheres except the gaming, those can be really popular with the influence on the network. For example manufacturing processes with the thousands of participants.

I think that crypto games have a big future, those won’t break the Ethereum. Who can say what’s the near future of the market? Remember what happened the year ago. Now? I am talking about you can’t predict anything in crypto world.
