Got some..kitties?

I've got an account but i'm still not really sure what I'm seeing here. Maybe If I eventually get a kittie I will understand the game a little better. Its designed to help you inderstand how blockchain works better, but yeah...

Someone bought the first Kitty for over $100 000 a few days ago so this must be going somewhere.

If you guys have any spare could you send one this way please?

A review.

I don't understand this fully right now. However I can see that this is the dawn of a new kind of gaming transaction platform, so to speak. Thats pretty exciting.

I bought 2 kitties to play with. Not sure how this is going to work.
Trying to breed them now. Maybe if I can get about 5 in total then I could "Sire" them to others for Eth and then with the Eth buy more and so on.

will see how this works and turns out.

What THA fk !

Fringe society remain totally doomed.

The $100k for cryptokitty more than likely just marketing scam. Nothing preventing someone with 246 ETH to buy their own cryptokitty then create free advertising so its meaningless.

so maybe a little bit of topic, but while trying to figure this thing out, i installed MetaMask as per the instructions,
do i need a new wallet or can i import my existing geth wallet?

Viral Cat Game Responsible for Huge Portion of Ethereum Transactions

Cute, cuddly kittens are taking over the Ethereum network, and are presently responsible for 4% of the transactions taking place on the so-called “world computer.” That’s right, the smart contract platform that could potentially disrupt multiple industries is now playing host to a viral cat game.

Gen 14 and 15. I bought cheap.
Trying to get them to breed with someone else's cats for ETH.

 

[Sly21C]

I think I'm gonna get in with maybe 5 ETH, I'll see. I first still need to learn about this.

Anyways, to me this kitties thing seems like another tulip mania. If I get in, I'll try get out asap after making a killing, hopefully.

 

[The_David]

Just waiting for Luno to let go of my Eth so I can also give it a shot. Not sure how long that will take.

There's quite a big backlog on Ethereum's Blockchain at the moment. TXs are going out, just slowly.
Don't want to de-rail the kittehs of awesome, but you can check our status page for updates https://luno.statuspage.io/

Come right yet? Made any cats or eth?

 

[SaiyanZ]

Apparently this is what is killing the Eth network in the last couple of days.

Is this just a craze that will die off sooner than later or it's something that will stay?

Im so weak... but I got cryptokitties! This is about $200 worth



A fool and his crypto are quickly parted. I dont care, take my money! I got kitties!

Lazy miners need to mine quicker, or whatever bottleneck is slowing us down. However, I think the biggest problem is using cpu/gpu calculations as the be all and end all of ethereum. , it doesnt take into account that most of the Internet does not run on hashrate, but more bandwidth and disk space.
