Followed and resteemed this. This new viral game may seem silly at first, but it actually is quite fun! It also goes to show that one can truly create viral dApps on Ethereum, as long as Ethereum scales fast enough...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
How many such apps can Ethereum deal with? Five, 20, 1,000? 10,000? Any opinions?
It is currently struggling to manage this game...
It did struggle at first, then the network adjusted by raising the gas price. Ethereum has a few upgrades in the plans for the near future, which would scale the network to be able to handle multitudes more transactions. Also, it will become a POS token, not POW. I think that in about a year, Ethereum should be able to handle thousands of killer dApps like cryptokitties without any issues.
You're right.
I think that higher gas price was a bad idea lol. It nearly killed the game, if it hasn't already. That, and the quick turnarounds for breeding. The system kinda lends itself to the deflation of rare traits prices.
Although, I do wonder if they did that due to predictions of the rise of ETH's value.
I would like to see the ETH network find a way to handle Cryptokitties and still be cheap.
They should have released it on the BitShares blockchain.
We love Crypto Kitties too!
Really, Cryptokitties? How much?
Nice
Yes, but with ether rises so fast, kitties will become more and more expensive. I don't think many people are willing to spend $100 to buy kitty. Basically the popularity of ether could lead to CryptoKitty's eventual downfall. Is that so?
You know how people are when spending on their cats! lol
