great articles yes it,s possible crypto games like cryptokitties and crypto collectables like cryptopunks could be a huge market in the coming years but a lot of new games are coming new competition axies is getting popular it,s the next generation blockchain game. cryptokitties has to come with new features if it,s doesn,t want to lose market share in the coming months

Sounds like a scam.

cyphergaiden , 04 April 2018 19:51

That address we need to send our kitties to is not a smart contract.

Which means this "dapp" is not trustless and someone can just steal your kitties.

It can still work but I'm warning you it is not trustless.

zolette , 04 April 2018 20:54

helium_bet , 03 April 2018 18:44

A lot of good points here, I think it depends on the perception though

It’s not fun and expensive just because you decided to get as much fancies as possible, if you don’t like the process that much why not let other people spend their money?

If someone wanted to monopolize the fancy but as the result have no money and a lot of cats no one wants to buy for more than the breeding fee, maybe it’s a lesson not to be greedy and not to rush next time? If you believe the fancies are special and should worth more, just hodl, right?

The problem is actually similar to any other kind of cats in the game, people breed more than they can sell, then start undercuting each other and complaining :)

It’s a game, the most players will spend more than they will ever earn, so maybe we just should adjust our expectations?

NARW_Bombard , 03 April 2018 19:32

I also believe that “prepared” players should have advantage, it will support players how don’t want to hurry and focus on exact trait instead

You can buy purebreds relatively cheap when there is no demand for them, get few of each trait - you will support the game economy and be better prepared for the next fancy/mewtation

NARW_Bombard , 03 April 2018 19:38

My hope is that with the new fancies, they utilize later GEN's. Pushing the Gen's people want from 0-2 from 0-5 and so on so that even if you don't have a GEN 0 CK you can still breed something cool that someone else might buy at 1 ETH at GEN 5.

cyphergaiden , 01 April 2018 09:47

2/4 + 2/4 produces 3/4 or 4/4 if lucky (roughly 50% for each slot, so ~6% to hit a 4/4)

Then 3/4 + 3/4 higher chance for 4/4 (25%, minus the shuffling)

Use this tool to search for 3/4+ onyx for example: https://cryptokittydex.com/genes/search?gene%5B4%5D%5BD%5D=r&gene%5B4%5D%5BR1%5D=r&gene%5B4%5D%5BR2%5D=r&for_sale=false

You can usually pair up some mewtations on other cattribute slots as a bonus.

noob-breeder , 01 April 2018 10:24

You will be counting on

D0 + D0

One D0 is selected (50%) and the other D0 is shuffled to R1 (25%) and then selected (50%) to get a D0+R1 (2/4)

That’s 6.25% to make a 2/4. You will likely be broke before you get a pure bred, and the resulting cat will likely be many gen higher.

Please check it out and let us know what you think!

phl3x , 29 March 2018 19:28

That was fun for about 2 races. Spoiler alert: the game has been "solved" with every entrant having all 4 of the desired traits to make for a "fast" cat.

carloslucia , 30 March 2018 05:20

Why don't you change the traits for every few races? That way more people will be involved! Right now its the few kitties with your selected traits that win! Also I suggest making the pool of traits with an advantage larger!

cryptohiwatari , 31 March 2018 22:59

I was looking at entering a kitty and searched through mine and I have a particular one I want to enter. But when i hit join it only gives me a selection of 9 of my own kitties to choose from and none of those is the one i want. How do I select a particular one of my kitties?

No longer useful as a breeding kitty? Catatonic kitties are awesome! You can breed them whenever you feel like it and not feel bad, and then in a week they give you a present! [This may be a little tongue in cheek, but I do have an unhealthy appreciation for Catatonic kitties and one week waiting periods.]

AtAlanfalcon , 30 March 2018 12:59

you mean some kind of a social welfare for used up kitties?

joebabana , 30 March 2018 07:03

You can reclaim all the breeding fee by sending giveBirth transaction. Upon successful giveBirth, breeding fee is transferred to sender of transaction whoever he is. So it's not owned by the CK team. This kind of scheme is needed for few reasons:

• new kitties appear smoothly from user perspective - you don't have do anything to claim your new borns

• no one (including kitty owner or CK team) controls when new kitty is actually born. It is import for genetics algorithm to be unpredictable.

There are couple of discussions on that around or check auto-birther channel in discord for more technical stuff.

hash_kitty , 30 March 2018 08:53

The breeding cost goes to the network, not the devs.

Well, surely it should, but... I have a 8 gemmed (full set, no wild genes) kitty for sale and no one is interested. Hope you'll have a better luck!

CatCreators , 29 March 2018 13:06

People want kitties for: 1) breeding 2) selling to breeders later 3) ultra rare low gen 4) fancies

Anything above gen 5 atm is likely 100% worthless UNTIL a new fancy comes out.

cyphergaiden , 30 March 2018 03:40

No one wants these. You should have saved your money unfortunately. I wasted about $150 on cryptokitties that will probably never sell now lol

12 groups, 32 values in each

for 8 groups, all values are presented in the cat image and profile

for wild group, tier0 values (0-15 integer values) are not visible, but mutations(16+) are visible, at least, existing ones - elk and tricolous

for last 3 groups no visible value hasn't been found yet

NARW_Bombard , 29 March 2018 04:26

There are 11 visible in the gene code only 9 are known what they attribute too, most have 8 unless they have elk (only visible wild gene) then they have 9

Dreurmimker , 27 March 2018 23:13

ownership of kitties is granted by ownership of private key for ethereum address. So you can use existing hardware wallets (e.g. ledgerwallet or trezor) to store keys to your kitties. It would be interesting to see HW implementations specific to CryptoKitties, e.g. if it could have a small display with kitty image or smth, but I don't think there is much demand for that.

Professa333 , 28 March 2018 09:23

I'd say it's all about creating new markets with tradeable tokens (for virtual and real goods), that's why I started the Awesome CryptoCollectibiles page to collect more pointers / information. Today trade (virtual) cats, tomorrow trade (real) cars incl. lambos (of course), apartments, etc. It's all about (certified / signed / trusted) open data and open data (micro/web) services (a.k.a. contracts/transactions/functions). Cheers.

PS: And yes, most crypto (gambling) games (like the initial coin offerings) are scams (that is, money grabbing / get-rich-quick schemes). Compared to CryptoCelebreties or CryptoCountries the CryptoKitties team looks good :-).

https://www.ecrater.com/p/26418816/george-washington-stamp

NARW_Bombard , 27 March 2018 22:26

I think the fact alone that you are here asking this question shows how CryptoKitties makes sense. The real elephant in the room, as stressed by /u/Ryan_JK, is why in-game items have value.

As fiat currencies, in-game items can be printed by a central authority - CryptoKitties as tokens on a proper blockchain can´t. It´s a cultural shift if you want to see it that way. CK is for in-game items what Bitcoin has been to fiat currencies.

I wouldn´t overrate it though - in the end it is also "just" a game. But as I said, the flabbergasted reactions that should better be directed at those centralized entities printing money (but for some reasons are not) are the real "sense" that is going on here.

artiscience , 28 March 2018 00:01

Can someone explain how or why there is any difference between cryptokitties, and say, buying/selling unique items or characters on any other game (thinking WoW or Diablo)?

Blizzard can print off as many in-game items as they want and sell them off. In CK, each cryptokitty is unique and has an identifier on the blockchain.

Is it like art, where the value can go up or down based on fads or trends?

Yes, prices are dictated not only by rarity but by demand. You can have a trait that 10k kitties have but everyone wants that trait so it may be more valuable than a trait that only 1k kitties have that no one wants.

When other blockchain games start, like cryptopuppies or cryptofishies, who is the first person that buys (and pays the fees) the generation 1s and hopes that people want to buy more?

The people who find it first and decide to invest

Ryan_JK , 27 March 2018 23:27

To me it’s like a game for bored millionaires.

1 E = $459

Biko666 , 28 March 2018 00:04

Can someone explain how or why there is any difference between cryptokitties, and say, buying/selling unique items or characters on any other game (thinking WoW or Diablo)?

Blockchain! Blockchain! Blockchain! The kitties are public data / tokens (on the blockchain) and all contract scripts are public (open source) services (on the blockchain), see https://github.com/openblockchains/awesome-cryptokitties/blob/master/contracts/README.md for a write-up / more commentary.

IMO, the generations is too high to be valued by anyone ATM. That cat can only produce gen 18 or higher kitties. Having that diamond for the ragdoll is nice, but it really doesn't say all that much IMO.

If you are buying cats and plan to breed them I'd stay under gen 7

Sure, such is the beauty of blockchain. If you create a smart contract that can transfer ERC-721 tokens, then yes!

DERPYBASTARD , 29 March 2018 09:11

JamesChiang01 , 27 March 2018 13:14

I wouldn't recommend sending your kitties to an exchange wallet, unless they are ERC-721 compliant (they're probably not).

You can send your kitties to any wallet you have full control over, but exchanges never give you a private key for your wallet. They tend to use centralized wallets.

If you were to send your kitties to any wallet you do have the private key of, you can usually just interact with the CK smart contracts through myetherwallet. Simply go to https://www.myetherwallet.com/#contracts then select the CryptoKitties Core contract and select the transfer function. If you have one of these wallet access options you should be fine: https://imgur.com/3bkP9ED

nice kitty! ganado is recessive but you can find it fairly cheap at gen1 right now. if you breed it with rascal you might make thunderstruck!

ddddddjim , 26 March 2018 11:00

It has value in the sense you can make thunderstruck from it, and use it for a future fancy where Ganado will be necessary. I think lemonade mutates with coffee to make sky blue. Shadowgrey mutates with salmon to make cloudwhite. If you were super lucky you can make a Gen 2 Thunderstruck, Skyblue, Cloudwhite. Now that's a kitty worth a penny ;)

Safe to assume the Chinese bios aren't permanent - it's just for the duration of the Chinese launch. Chinese app is still in beta right now (had a limit of 5k users) so might take a few months to get English gen0s again. Complete speculation though.

I only want 'English' CK because this is an 'universal language', many people understand English, so CK are more easy to trade. National languages are just limited for few buyers.

if they continue to release fancy cats following the release of all gen 0 cats, lower gens with shorter cooldowns will still hold more value

There're just too many of them. People like these https://www.cryptokitties.co/profile/0xcf6ada95c6d258d7ca41a4ac6c50f3f26b623aca are kidding themselves.

MechlerMX , 25 March 2018 17:03

I don't think price goes up immediately, demand will only increase when more people join the game, current demand for fancies is quite low, so prices are fairly at the bottom.

hash_kitty , 25 March 2018 18:34

Maybe rare combos of mutations in low gen are better than fancies, a Trioculus/Ganado with turtleback/babypuke is now extremely rare and difficult to achieve in gen1 or 2, and no-limits

kryptofan , 26 March 2018 19:12

they are too much supply of ducat fancies they won,t go much up in value

'Every time a kitty breeds, its cooldown time increases.' - not always true

ekwenzu , 24 March 2018 20:16

cyphergaiden , 25 March 2018 03:21

yes, generation and number of children matters. If low gen virgin and high gen catatonic are offered for the same price, I would definitely prefer low gen. So if market has offers for low gen fancies, seems that high gens should be sold at lower price (which is true now).

However breeding is not the main reason to buy fancies - they are mostly bought for collections. And it makes sense to buy high gens for collections, if there is no similar offers for low gens. So as low gen fancies are sold and gone from market, prices for low gen will grow. Main factor for price is "supply and demand" and fancies are good from this point - limited supply by design and demand for them seem to be quite good (comparing to non-fancies).

hash_kitty , 25 March 2018 11:48

Lower generation will sell for a lower price, but imo fancy prices will go up in the future.

Bibo7 , 25 March 2018 17:51

If generation matters, what's the avg generation of fancies?

cyphergaiden , 25 March 2018 18:26

the prices of fancies will go up in value in the coming months but it,s supply and demand right now there isn,t much demand for fancies there are too much stocks on the market

franckgant , 26 March 2018 15:25

aesthetically speaking, yes. practically - no.

WeAllMagic , 24 March 2018 18:55

joshuaboon1994 , 24 March 2018 12:06

The reason the game has too few players is because it's expensive to play casually. This will remain as long as breeding cost are over .002-.001 imo

cyphergaiden , 24 March 2018 16:12

I heard that hey are working on it but I don't know how far. But the iOS app for China should be done but isn't launched yet.

But you can install a mobile wallet like trust wallet on your phone to play. Works pretty well.

jimjimvalkema , 24 March 2018 14:10

...well we always knew it was going to be like this..China has pretty much closed the door to crypto and i wouldn't expect that to chnge near term...Japan and Korea are the obvious major markets to focus on imo...perhaps an update on the market penetration in these countries in the near term???

McDuff_71 , 24 March 2018 04:11

Eth is super huge in Korea. Do you mind explaining why China (not eth friendly) was chosen over Korea ( crazy for eth)? Was it because Koreans can already purchase CryptoKitties?

dont_hate_scienceguy , 26 March 2018 07:51

China was done well but lots of headwind there. I also would be interested in rest of Asia strategy

Steven-Patrick , 25 March 2018 03:03

the launch in china is very slow too bad for the game althoughts axiom zen did the right thing with a great marketing campaign the fancies made for china are the best fancies maybe japan and korea would be better markets

franckgant , 26 March 2018 15:32

It seems its time to move. CK team is putting to much effort and hope in China but there are many other countries and markets as well

kryptofan , 26 March 2018 14:32

hash_kitty , 23 March 2018 23:49

Great initiative. I've started building an open source kitties library for easy sharing traits, gene readers & calculators, database tables and more. See the copycats project for more. Keep it up. PS: Also would be great to have a public kitties dataset - I started on here /kitties.

geraldbauer , 24 March 2018 13:21

...interesting time in the crypto space re off chain txns like lightning and Eths version too...what I'm interested in is how to be able to off chain digital assets vs crypto...if the asset data represents a static point on the blockchain and the 'moving part' is simply the address associated with it then the only thing that needs to move in an off txn mode is the address association...the issue I have is wanting to keep the assets fluid enough 'off chain' to not have to keep on reporting them back until desired to allow fast and fluid trading with mininmal txn tine and cost...ni doubt great minds are already on the case ;)))

McDuff_71 , 24 March 2018 03:20

DERPYBASTARD , 22 March 2018 23:44

I hope CK won't make a decision based on the poll alone. CK can make a more informed decision by looking at the market data.

1

The fancies are not searchable by new players at the moment, hence no sales. How many new players can type "fancy:phuziqaat" into the search bar? Please make a fancy tab and make it easily searchable/discoverable.

I need the CryptoKittyDex fancy tab to find them, some people bookmark all fancies, or visit 411. Super high friction at the moment.

2

Concentration: power players discover the first fancy after hints, that's fine.

Pure breeding (fancy + fancy = 30%+ chance) to the limit of 200, that's tough for new/casual players to catch up. Imagine a new player spending 0.5 eth and gets nothing after 50 tries, and the limit is reached, do you think this player will ever come back for the next fancy?

CK should investigate the dynamics of power breeders/farmers, how many wallets make what % of the fancy within how long? Try to introduce balance here. If only the top 5% make a return, the 95% will lose interest in fancy chase because it is not rewarding at all.

All fancies should be on cooldown 13 (catatonic) no matter their gen imo.

3

New trait then immediately a new fancy with that trait.

Not everyone can afford a Gen0 at 0.3. If CK releases a new fancy with the requirement of the new trait on the same day, the fancy will be tightly controlled by the power players again. Further alienating casual players, and fancy will become a 1% whale game (same 20 players buying and selling to each other, and bob).

4

More RNG (this is a suggestion, it doesn't solve the fancy issue)

If you look at the Bearbrick collectible, which has been around for 15+ years. The way they do fancy is there's a 1/64 or 1/128 chance to get a fancier fancy. For example, Elmo fancy has a 1/64 chance to be a Cookie Monster. That's RNG and rare. https://imgur.com/a/WLO1n

This is hard to implement code side, but nothing rare is easy.

(edit: formatting)

noob-breeder , 23 March 2018 02:24

I'm not on Twitter. But I would vote for less.

My thoughts on fancies from most passionately felt to least:

1. Please please please make the target traits visually complimentary! I realize that this has the downside of potentially making a fancy a) easier to stumble upon and b) easier to put together from existing cats. However, think of all the poor bastard cats left in the aftermath of a fancy hunt! Nobody wants those ugly mutants. At least if the colors coordinated, breeders would be stuck with a bunch of cats that they either a) wanted or b) had a chance of selling. I personally enjoy sitting out the fancy hunt and picking up cheap reject cats with interesting traits. But so many of them are too hideous to touch.

2. Please make all fancy cats catatonic at birth. This would help quell the dominance of 'fancy factories' without being so draconian as making fancies sterile.

3. Wild fancy cats are cool. I like that there would be these cats out there that a total noob could stumble upon. Almost to the point where it would be cool to have a fancy that changes trait requirements every time it's found. That way you could only ever find it accidentally. Unicorn cat anyone? And no, this would not violate my first point (visually complimentary traits) because there would be no incentive to try to breed any more of that same trait combination once the cat was found.

4. While I like the excitement of the fancy hunt, I think it should be done sparingly (once a quarter?). This is a) to keep it special, b) to give us time to recover financially and c) to let us focus on breeding some normal cats with traits we really enjoy.

dont_hate_scienceguy , 23 March 2018 08:02

The real problem with fancy cats is that they aren't that fancy. This severely limits the fanciness, imo.

If you look at a page of regular cats, they're all completely unique and interesting in their own ways: for good or bad

BUT... if you look at a page of fancies, they are almost all exactly the same: see what I mean?

Would it be possible for fancy cattributes to be drawn like regular cattributes so that we have unique kitties that have rare traits that are based on the "fancy" combinations? (Like wings or vampire fangs/widow's peaks or spaceships or sailor suits, just not all the same.)

mistersplice , 23 March 2018 22:48

yes fancies are collectors kitties less is better for the market.There isn,t any market for one new fancy every week there are plenty of the old fancies that are still not breeded and plenty fancies that are not sold.There should be one new fancy once every 2 week less fancies will bring more value to cryptokitties

franckgant , 22 March 2018 23:59

...scarcity = rarity ... ;))

McDuff_71 , 23 March 2018 00:27

cyphergaiden , 23 March 2018 01:40

Basically, when you breed cats that have two traits that can mutate, there's a chance that the child will have a new trait as a result of the mutation (there's some randomness involved). Here you can check how it works: https://cryptokitties411.com/2018/01/09/mutations/

Sb0g , 23 March 2018 02:51

Mewtations happen when a child expresses a trait not expressed in either parent. It can happen a few different ways a. A recessive gene passes into the child and becomes dominant. b. Two gene pairings create a new gene (see : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ShiBKSglFAB2vJe4Uow3iF09FBVq6ZAaOzTCIECf4iA/htmlview ). c. A combination of both a recessive passes into Dominance and then mutates because of gene pairing.

mobmen , 23 March 2018 03:29

If I may add something - I added a mewtation / mutation pairs (16x2) chart to the traits page at copycats:

Tier I    Tier II   Tier III  Tier IIII  Tier V  (1-g)     (h-p)     (q-t)     (u,v)      (w) 1+2 = h   h+i = q   q+r = u   u+v = w 3+4 = i   j+k = r   s+t = v 5+6 = j   m+n = s 7+8 = k   o+p = t 9+a = m b+c = n d+e = o f+g = p 

The gene code is in kai / base32, that is, 32 values for traits running from 1,2,3,...a,b,c...x (32 altogheter). Happy gene mixing. Cheers.

PS: The tier (I,II,III) just means that tier II are mewtations of tier I genes, tier III are mewtations for tier II genes and so on. Only tier I get "released" into the wild in gen 0 kitties - all other tiers are mewtations over time (generations).

cyphergaiden , 22 March 2018 15:51

Gen 0, virgin, cheap, HODL till November 2018 when there will be no more released they will spike in price (IF at this point in time anyone does remember cryptokitties)

Oh yea I have a heartbreaking story about a gen1 violet kitty.

Bought one back in late december for 0.05 Eth. Bred it a few times to make a gen2 wolfgrey kitty. Sold both of these for barely any profit.

A few weeks later I found out gen1 violet is super hard to make. The market prices had already quadrupled at least by that time. There are only 60 gen1 violet kitties to this day.

Now I don't sell cats anymore without looking into their rarity. Lesson learned :-(

DERPYBASTARD , 21 March 2018 19:24

cyphergaiden , 21 March 2018 10:01

Hey there!

As far as we're aware fancy releases are fairly irregular, and even when they are released it usually takes awhile for the community to figure them out, which adds even more randomness to the equation.

Regional fancies can be bred by anyone, good luck and have fun! :)

Kitttyverse , 21 March 2018 10:11

Is there a schedule for when these come about or is it just random?

I've put together a timeline for fancies / exclusives incl. limits (e.g. 888, 1 000, 2000, ...) that gives you an overview about the past schedule all the way back to beginning (genesis). Cheers.

kryptofan , 21 March 2018 01:36

I think there are some genes that dominate others in the same category, in the same gene list. For example: cyan and sapphire are eye colors. If you breed two cats with those two traits as dominate, I believe that one has a higher chance of taking the eye color than the other. I'm looking for that information

I believe the thought behind it is to show how much of a global market kitties really is. I like the idea of each country/continent getting their own. My kits have a thing for Latinas 😋. Plus reading the same bios get boring after awhile and you stop paying attention.

Hey, do you have a tool to show the cat if I provide as input the string of DNA??? Now do you know guys how many possibles visual outcomes has a breeding operation?? I have this: (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) x 2 x 8

So 8 traits, by 2 (sire and matron) by the combination of each gen 4! ... total: 384 possibles CK. I don't know what the 3 unknown genes are neither the wild thing. So with those traits the total is 4! x 2 x 12 = 576. (I omited the mewtations maybe is (5 x 3 x 2 x 1) x 2 x 12 = 720

There's a breeding fee of 0.008 eth, it gets added to every breeding you do. https://www.cryptokitties.co/faq#faqs.g4.q2

DERPYBASTARD , 19 March 2018 08:34

The full amount should be 0.001536 if I'm not mistaken... Not 0.009536

momo-chans have more virgins but more of those virgins are higher generation than negatos

also, this is just a theory since I have not look at it that closely yet, but it appears that more negatos were bred from normal cats vs more momo-chans were bred from other momo-chans

now which ones are more valuable - 'purebred' or bred from two normal kitties - up for a debate, on one hand the latter is much harder but others would say ninja parents look cooler - beholders eye and all that I suppose

ekwenzu , 17 March 2018 21:48

Why did you use "-" for no Momo-Chan and "0" for no Negato? thinking

You get the price you listed the cat for sire in eth, minus a siring fee equal to 3.75% of the sire amount, minus network transaction fee associated with putting your cat up for sire. This is all only if someone chooses your kitty to be a sire.

You should make sure your cat has valuable and sought after genes before putting it up for sire. Otherwise, if you list a random cat with common genes, it's highly unlikely people will pay you to mate with your cat.

In general, it's very difficult to make profits in this game. There's too many players looking to sell their cats, of which more and more are being created all the time. So they do not hold their value very well. Would not recommend this game unless you are prepared to drop money into it purely for the joy of the gaming experience, with no intention of earning an adequate return on your invested money. You'll likely walk away disapointed if you're looking to make money here.

Same problem, I found a wild gen 7 dominant, but because I was interested in gen0, 1 or 2 I had to search thru many kitties most of them with no sales auction, It took me a lot of time.

kryptofan , 16 March 2018 17:24

You can use the kitties dataset import it into an (offline) SQLite database (using the kitty copycats tool) and than use SQL to query as you like. Example:

SELECT * FROM kitties WHERE gen IN (1,2) AND wild='3' 

(Update) The next kitty command line update will include a new (built-in) query builder. For your kitty search use:

kitty wild=3 gen=1 gen=2    # or kitty wild=3 gen=1,2        # or kitty w=3 g=1,2             # with shortcuts (w=wild, g=gen) 

geraldbauer , 16 March 2018 18:31

You can use search tool at http://www.rolldice.club/cryptokitties. Results sort by gen.

• Click "Search Kitty" on any page, for example http://www.rolldice.club/cryptokitties/wkt_klist.php?period=last24h

The future is now. My 10 and 12 year olds have eth accounts. For the past month they've wanted allowance in eth so they can breed their cats. So, your point is relevant.

dont_hate_scienceguy , 16 March 2018 00:27

I really don't think there's a huge security risk here. My kids have email addresses and that could allow much worse. I suppose this simply requires the same vigilance on my part. Honestly, my kids would be thrilled to get a free cat from somebody. They would just change the name.

Really, I think this possibility of pranking people with cats is a funny one.

It could also brings up the possibility of cat-vertising (sending cats for marketing purposes) which could be a possibility for corporations at some point. Febreeze cats anyone?

dont_hate_scienceguy , 16 March 2018 01:28

Technically it is not possible to restrict transfer of ERC721 tokens by recipient. Issue is that unlike traditional transfer (which include sending on one side and accepting on the other side), ERC721 token (read cryptokitty) transfer is just rewriting owner address in smart contract. Recipient of the token is not actively involved in the process anyhow, so cannot prevent it "receiving" it. On the one hand it gives you uncensored transactions (which are so loved by cryptopunks), on the other hand issue that you described.

On a positive side ERC721 is just a set of numbers, so it is really hard to harass anyone with those (unless you are super sensible mathematician). Kitty names which can be offensive indeed exist only the CK site, so it is work for CK team to filter and remove those. Your concern is valid, but as others stated, currently there are much easier cheaper and effective ways to offense people, so it is unlikely someone would harass you using kitties. Also I find it is really smart marketing move to advertise smth by sending kitties (like airdrops of ERC20 token to get people interested).

hash_kitty , 16 March 2018 17:49

we should coin the term now - 'CAT BOMBING'

nigerianprincessa , 16 March 2018 03:19

Well, anyone can send an e-mail or call a phone number and say anything they want to say. It's still up to a parent to make sure they are responsible about what their children are exposed to and have access to, right? This doesn't mean that harassment is right, or even legal. But it isn't your e-mail provider's job to make sure you only receive nice e-mails. That said, some phone providers and some e-mail providers probably do offer some kind of filtering or blacklist features, so it might be interesting to discuss what sort of technological solution might be possible - but really I'm not sure this hypothetical you've laid out is not a societal/behavioral problem that requires a societal/behavioral solution.

Overwatch_Falcon , 16 March 2018 00:56

stk30000 , 15 March 2018 15:50

It charges you the price of breeding + whatever the person siring price is

ALB269 , 15 March 2018 16:09

zolette , 16 March 2018 01:02

The game is amazing, though the breeding cost is a little too much imo, I'm not complaining as of now but I read somewhere that as ethereum scales, breeding cost will go down and that will be unfair. I have no problem that earlier the cost was cheap but the fact that the game could become cheaper in some years is unsettling. :( I am here to enjoy and if I'm lucky to make some profit too, quite a loss I'm having.

MayorAdamWest1 , 15 March 2018 01:23

Crazy, I just saw this cat shortly after it was born and before it was on the market...

dystodesi , 15 March 2018 02:10

It's the color that does it. Dragonfruit is a gene that so far has only been found as a recessive gene in Gen-0 cats, and from what I can tell the earliest it mutated was Gen-2. It's also literally the only Dragonfruit cat that the owner has let go of. Still, 5 ETH is a lot of space jewels, no doubt.

You can find both of these here: https://etherscan.io/address/0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d#code contract address at the top of the page and the ABI is self explanatory.

JamesGatz_thehomie , 14 March 2018 15:36

“Sure, an impoverished enthusiast might make a digital copy of the image and set it as her desktop, but without the token, she doesn’t own an original. She can’t sell the image, because the image itself is not rare. It’s the token that’s rare. The Ethereum community has agreed to treat ownership of the token, not simple possession of the image, as a marker of property rights. Everyone gets to use and enjoy the image — that’s just the nature of the internet. But the token gives the holder a right to exclude others from asserting ownership and in turn, a right to the profits that result from the asset’s appreciation.”

While the profit potential is not what interests me personally about all of this, I still find that passage immensely interesting. (Full disclosure, I am a member of the KittyHats team though not a Dada artist. I did draw that beret though.)

AtAlanfalcon , 14 March 2018 15:46

Just guessing, but it could possibly be that its parents or grandparents were born on the Chinese market and that gets passed on just like the genes? maybe it was a recessive.

if you look at the actual bios of the parents it would suggest they are from UK and India

Well, the whales market is not a 'black market' or illegal. At the moment I don't know anything about 'stolen' cats. We have to remember that a CK is an ethereum token. These tokens have a lot of potencial to build any kind of applications. Now I prefer going with the official site to trade cats.

I wrote an article to try to help players still interact with the Smart Contract and be able to perform actions even if the front end of the website is down: https://medium.com/@cryptokittyhawk/playing-cryptokitties-on-the-blockchain-b15ceb6269d7

Because this game is on the blockchain, it never stops even if the website is necessarily down for maintenance (every website goes down for maintenance) so the best thing you can do is the same thing the whales do, which is spend the time to learn how to use the blockchain directly. They've invested not only a ton of money, but an incredible number of hours in learning about the market and every tip and trick, so of course they use them all. The cool thing about Cryptokitties in my opinion is that any one of these players is almost always willing to share with you exactly what they're doing and why! Watch JiHoZ stream and he tells you his exact strategy. He will link you to the tools you need to buy kitties the way he does.

If using the blockchain doesn't appeal to you, then there are still other solutions out there like https://opensea.io/assets/cryptokitties and other third party marketplaces. Again, because this game is on the blockchain, these marketplaces continue to function even when the front end website is down for maintenance. Let me know if there's any questions you have about all this or any way I or others in the community can help! I've spent literally hundreds of hours (I'd estimate a minimum of 50 hours a week since mid December) getting to know and understand this stuff, and as with building KittyCalc.co to help spread that knowledge and share it with the community, I'm absolutely here to help anyone learn whatever they want to learn.

AtAlanfalcon , 13 March 2018 11:12

Once gen0s are on sales auction it cannot be normally stopped or cancelled. Also it may seem shady, but I am sure it is just an unfortunate coincidence. It is most likely that buyer was using a script to interact directly with the contract, so downtime did not affect him. In fact, if you can buy directly from contract site maintenance is a great time to buy on auction - for obvious reasons there are less buyers at that time. I can also imagine that some shady player could DDOS CK site to knock other players out of auctions, but I believe we are not at that stage yet.

So as /u/AtAlanfalcon pointed out - best thing you can do is to learn how to buy from the contract. So you do depend on site availability, which is really not great lately. But it is really hard technical task to keep it synced and running under heavy load - so I would not expect situation to change soon. You can start by using myetherwallet and etherscan - there was a tutorial on that somewhere around.

hash_kitty , 13 March 2018 11:50

Opensea.io/assets/cryptokitties is the way to go when the site wont let you buy

Slabmason710 , 13 March 2018 17:29

Of course...as soon as I post to Reddit I refresh and the CK site and it’s back up. Who bought it...one of the whales.

Jrskow , 14 March 2018 00:15

CK needs a press release with a press pack inviting all elements of the press to a press day. They need to create a story that people are interested in, like advertising the 888 kitty along with the app. It'll probably get that press when the app is fully launched then you'll see it everywhere. Late night weekend shows are always late to the party, it starts with the news and twitter.

axiom zen is doing great with cryptokitties but some players spent huge amounts of eth on cryptokitties it,s going to be hard for them to make a profit

franckgant , 13 March 2018 01:31

Another way: Buying gen0s at low price (under 0.2 eth) and holding for the 2019 scarcity times... I agree with your ideas about the fancy economics, for example a fancy of 4 traits: in order to have chance of success we need a couple of 3/4 of that traits. Creating the 3/4 cats from zero, is very expensive task: We need 4 initials cats to build each 3/4. Usually only fancies of gen 4,5,6 have good prices (more than 1 eth), gen 7,8,9 (under .5), so the 4 'founders' for the 3/4 has to be gen 0 to gen 3 or 4. Only people with more than 200 cats have all the ingredients ready or people full of high gen cats

kryptofan , 13 March 2018 02:09

Oh, and Axiom Zen makes their ETH by taking a % of every transaction. So, the more breeding and selling the more ETH they make.

yes too many games but cryptokitties is the best game a lot of crypto games will flop cryptokitties will go up in value along with cryptopunks the first cryptocollectables concept on the blockchain

But what about crypto soccer? Rabona.me launched yesterday too

SavannaZeigler , 12 March 2018 17:31

I am not worried about new games. Actually, this is the best way to increase popularity among all of them and compare which ones are the better. Cryptokitties will last forever as it was the first one and people love cats. Actually, I am so building a game. I am a soccer fan and decided to build a prediction game for the World Cup with also ERC 721 tokens. The name is www.cryptocup.io. The most interesting thing, is that you participate for a pot made by the users who decide to buy the ticket to participate

I love ethereum games, and hope all of them keep growing. My 4 cats increased around 20% in value

• Origins of CryptoKitties
• Possible VR in Cryptokitties
• Kitty Sink
• Collectibles

ChuckFresco , 12 March 2018 03:21

Great job chuck!

great interview yes axiom zen should team up with others Companies for AR and VR contents that would really be cool. So much possibilities about the new fancies it,s great they are plenty new directions new fancies can take.All the news fancies are really great. and yes cryptopunks are really amazing cryptocollectables nobody knows about the concept they are so cheap

Hi, I think that's a great initiative, totally support it. I run my own DB with CK data so here it its schema https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai4P81xJXMTQa0E-aKVasF5ONZc

Few comments on your schema: 1) May add extra tables for market analytics: auctions and owners. So one may query sales data and check kitties distribution among players. 2) May add some extra fields to kitties: owner, children count, next action at - those are important in some queries.

In my DB, I keep genes as binary(32) and that's not the best approach for querying on genes - so like your approach with queryable genes and traits, but not sure if it is a big overhead for storage.

The most difficult thing is to keep DB with the chain, I have limited resource dedicated to DB, so cannot use very aggressive sync. I use following approach: have a script running 24/7 on schedule (every 10-20 mins), script reads new events from the CK smart contracts and push them (with bulk inserts) to DB without pre-processing (those tables are in upper part of diagram). Once events are imported, script launches few stored procedures to "parse" event data and insert new rows to Kitties, Auctions and Owners tables (lower part of diagram). Then I can query those tables easier. This approach works quite stable and does not consume resources, event import can be more aggressive but not faster than once per minute in my experience.

hash_kitty , 12 March 2018 16:36

Hello,

I've put together a (free, open source) SQL database schema / tables for CryptoKitties. Still early and suggestions more than welcome on how to make it better, easier, faster, etc. The tables incl. kitties (of course), genes, traits and more. The idea is to make queries easy (thus, all 48 genes of a kitty in a "flat" genes tables along with all others).

Example SQL query to find all kitties with two traits - let's use the trait savannah (fur) with the id 0 and the trait tiger (pattern) with the id 33:

SELECT id FROM  kitties           WHERE body_id = 0 AND pattern_id = 33 

Find the database schema source (will generate SQL flavors for SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc.) at the Copycats project. Cheers. Prost.

geraldbauer , 11 March 2018 23:22

DemonyxCG , 11 March 2018 21:45

Which function are you calling? Check transaction input data. If you call bid for CryptoKittiesSalesAuction contract, most likely that kitty is already sold (it may be not reflected on the site) or transaction value is not enough to buy.

You can check actual price here: https://etherscan.io/address/0xb1690c08e213a35ed9bab7b318de14420fb57d8c#readContract. Enter kitty id next to getCurrentPrice and click query - you will get price in wei, 0 means that kitty is sold.

So far it's just a beta release in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong but limited to 5000 iOS users. Not fully released in the app store and then we still have android and the rest of the world. Patience is a virtue unless you enjoy panic selling :)

Isa_ak , 11 March 2018 19:21

Buy gen0s, after nov/2018 each gen0 will be priceless, maybe 3 or 4 eth. Last time cryptowhales waited until the price was under 0.1 eth. So I think in less than 48 hours another whale is going to buy many gen0s

kryptofan , 11 March 2018 18:46

yes people could be stuck with huge stocks of cryptokitties for months it,s not going to be easy for cryptokitties to pick up in china and elsewhere but the app could be a game changer for the game long term

franckgant , 11 March 2018 20:08

What's the best website to check the prices of recent trades of cats of a certain generation?

Zyj , 13 March 2018 11:49

Maybe an opportunity to buy on the dip?

boom603 , 11 March 2018 18:15

kryptofan , 11 March 2018 19:04

making catatonic cats fast again will lead to the fast population growth and fast inflation, so cats with generation 1 and higher will cost almost nothing (as it is now).

On the other hand when gen 0 are not produced any more and all of them become catatonic (at some point), production of gen 1 will decrease significantly and price for those will go up if demand remains. Then same thing happens to gen 2 and so on. Production for lower generation will decrease and value will move to higher generation. So I would say that economy of a game is well thought and limited population is growth is important aspect and not be changed.

if you could get all the jewels to match that would be cool. like 8 diamonds or 8 gilded. im not too sure if people care much about family jewels yet other than diamonds and gilded. I make 8 diamond kittys and its a really niche market so i dont imagine 8 jewel cats to be much of a large market.

Slabmason710 , 11 March 2018 10:11

I think that family jewells add value to a cat. Now Mewtations are really serious thing: Diamonds are priceless, Gilded are ok. Amethyts and lapis looks good in your cats. All of this are tools to evaluate a particular cat. Try to find similars cats like yours and try to sell the thing for a price like 1 Ether for 1 month just to see what happen.

It depends which kitties you have, as it costs 0.008 eth every time you breed you can sometimes buy a kitty cheaper.

With every new Fancy... old, supposedly useless, traits become valuable again. My useless bearded calicool didn't sell at 0,005 for quite a while, but since the latest fancy they are sold at multiple 5. It's all in the combinations, common traits today will be scarce tomorrow (aka months). I think that's some unique daring fun part of CK. Take care all

veselyr , 10 March 2018 00:49

yes you a right low id cryptokitties up to 10000 are going to go up in value.right now market is slow and eth price is down investors should buy up all the stock available for cheap before the launch of the app in china and the rest of the world

franckgant , 09 March 2018 20:28

I agree, however I would like to add that the 'Date' a coin was minted or an Auto Produced, or the Date a Paper, Ticket or Stamp was printed is of utmost importance and currently overlooked by most of the community, as I am sure the first Inverted Jenny was in 1918.

The point of the game is to buy a cat, breed it with another cat to get a rarer cat that you sell for more ethereum. Cats have cattriubutes, some are worth more than others, the bad ones could be worth more in the future if they are needed to make a fancy or a rare cattribute. Look for kitties with Mewtations or a few Gems, I personally try and make new cattributes and make the cats people are going to need for the fancies i.e. 3/4 Lion (googly manx starstruck royalblue) or 4/5 Fortune (swampgreen calicool harbourfog beard sapphire).

If you want more info on cattributes check out https://kittycalc.co/traits/ It's a little out of date rn but it'll give you a basic idea on where to start. Reading the reddit posts help too. Good Luck 👌😁

---Mercy--- , 10 March 2018 11:48

Devs shut this down. Now an account has to have a cat before it can like other cats. There were bots that opened new accounts and liked cats...over and over and over again. The cats on the most liked page have not changed since mod so I think like bots are officially dead

The official name of the notation is base58 but the guy who introduced it is called Kai. Base58 is slightly different from base64 as it leaves out a few characters to avoid human error. In base58 the following are left out: 0, O, I (capital i), l (lowercase L), + and /.

DERPYBASTARD , 08 March 2018 16:26

It makes sense that developers are using hex notation not kai for fancies. Kai is "unofficial" and easier for people to read so you don't mix 0-o 1-l. I would let them coexist as they now. I guess people who try to breed fancies in advance, should understand the risk because all assumptions on fancy traits may go wrong. I myself totally failed few times on that, but I don't blame kai ) Maybe just keep in mind that devs not using kai next time.

hash_kitty , 08 March 2018 14:42

If it helps - over at the copycats and the awesome cryptokitties pages I always include this cheat sheet / quick reference for kai:

Kai (Base32) Notation

|Kai|Binary |Num|Kai|Binary |Num|Kai|Binary |Num|Kai|Binary |Num| |---|-------|---|---|-------|---|---|-------|---|---|-------|---| | 1 | 00000 | 0 | 9 | 01000 | 8 | h | 10000 |16 | q | 11000 |24 | | 2 | 00001 | 1 | a | 01001 | 9 | i | 10001 |17 | r | 11001 |25 | | 3 | 00010 | 2 | b | 01010 | 10| j | 10010 |18 | s | 11010 |26 | | 4 | 00011 | 3 | c | 01011 | 11| k | 10011 |19 | t | 11011 |27 | | 5 | 00100 | 4 | d | 01100 | 12| m | 10100 |20 | u | 11100 |28 | | 6 | 00101 | 5 | e | 01101 | 13| n | 10101 |21 | v | 11101 |29 | | 7 | 00110 | 6 | f | 01110 | 14| o | 10110 |22 | w | 11110 |30 | | 8 | 00111 | 7 | g | 01111 | 15| p | 10111 |23 | x | 11111 |31 | 

Note: The digit-0 and the letter-l are NOT used in kai (same as in base 58).

PS: And yes, kai is base-32 - it uses 5-bit, that is 2⁵ = 32 (digits from 0 to 31). In Ruby a conversion looks like:

 ALPHABET = "123456789abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwx"  BASE     = ALPHABET.length   ## 32 chars/letters/digits   # Converts a base10 integer to a base32 string.  def encode( num )     buf = String.new     while num >= BASE        mod = num % BASE        buf = ALPHABET[mod] + buf        num = (num - mod)/BASE     end     ALPHABET[num] + buf   end

Norwegian Ganado is the bomb dot com, but there’s a difference between a website providing a subjective cuteness rating and a kitty having value (and being easily sold!) on the marketplace. Cuteness/aesthetics is just one factor, and probably the least important between the big three factors of utility, scarcity, and appearance. Wait for the forest or ganado fancy to appear and then be glad you have some great kitties ready to offer up to kick off that market.

Also, people cannot buy your kitties if they have a rising auction price unless they happen to use huge gas prices and get lucky. Don’t do that even the game lets you. (The transaction fails because by the time it goes through the blockchain process the selling price of the kitty is too high for the amount of ETH sent with the bid.) So even if people wanted your kitties at those prices, they probably couldn’t even buy.

Good luck, and remember not to rely on any tool to tell you what to do. Don’t smash your TV just because you have a hammer that tells you it’s good at hitting things. Look at the market and your budget and your priorities and make your own choices in the game! :-)

WeAllMagic , 09 March 2018 00:43

Such a perfect combo! One day people will realize it and pay decent prices for these kitties :-) Not outrageous prices, but 0.015 seems reasonable for most of these Norwegian Sass Ganados :-) Have you seen Roseheart, my perfect Club💯 kitty? https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/507300

How about making smart contract for collective buy of 888? So people would send some ether to the contract and when contract has enough to buy, it does. 888 is owned by the contract and ones who send ether own "shares" of that, so they decided what to do with it next.

Kitty Mix Genes (Matron + Sire) Report

100.000, 200.000, 300.000 and 400,000 were not exclusive cats, so 600.000 is just going to be a normal cat but cat 888.888 will be 100 eth for china gamers. In some way cats with the 888.xxx serial will be 'rare' just 1000 of them, just put more 8's in the 'x' to increase price.

Hi, welcome to Reddit! Yes, I think this is a great idea, and I think it would attract a new audience to play Cryptokitties, as well as promote Cryptokitties. All while helping real-life cats.

I put forward a similar idea on the suggestion site, of having special "Big Cat" kitties, where special exclusive kitties would resemble endangered big Cats like Tigers and the money used to buy that cat would go to the World Wildlife Fund. I think the concept of charity kitties is something a lot of players would get behind. :) So I second this.

AquaGoblin , 06 March 2018 22:08

Great idea! If they implemented something like that I'd head back in.

SeaOfDeadFaces , 06 March 2018 22:10

Heya! We (2 of the mods) actually tried to set up something like this a month or two ago called "Kitties for Causes".

Initially we had planned to donate %90 of every sale to local animal rescues, but it worked out to where the kitty floor was so cheap and the gas costs so high that it wouldn't have been able to sustain itself just in gas costs alone.

So, we've been reworking the idea to where kitties donated to the account by the community are still sold at the original split, but we sell our own kitties on the same account at a %10 donation split to make up the cost, and to participate ourselves. :)

Kitttyverse , 07 March 2018 03:11

What if we all just donate unwanted cats to an account and that account can then maybe post the cast for sale. So the people who would buy these cats would be "rescuing" a cat in the game and IRL....

This move is done with Ethereum's capacity in mind. We don't want to flood the network by doing simultaneous world wide releases on all platforms. Remember early December? 80 gwei to get your transaction through wasn't fun.

DERPYBASTARD , 06 March 2018 03:31

I've heard because China is Android heavy...not as many people pissed off when website crashes then brings down ethereum network with it :) Plus Apple users have more Eth to spend

Steven-Patrick , 06 March 2018 03:16

Probably because there is a IOS MetaMask SDK to build ethereum aware mobile app, but there is no such thing for Android.

CryptoPuppies , 06 March 2018 19:24

This matter is really two separate things. Though ios has a better interface then Apple the problem is that the network is often clogged and cannot fulfill its purpose in the long term without some serious scaling it,s a problem for cryptokitties or any others blockchain games using ethers for transaction and usability any thought?

The wikileaks cats are 2 gen0, they breed every week one gen1, matron and sire roles has been interchanged many times, and every gen1 is totally diferent from its siblings.

https://www.cryptokitties.co/profile/0x49e290c0786c320e04d48f4f0b8a95432701a96e

gen0's are 363461 and 301923

kryptofan , 05 March 2018 20:07

One could do such experiment for "free" by reading genetics smart contract. Just call mixGenes functions passing your sireId, matronId and block number which is not older than 200 blocks from current - you will get same result as if you breed your kitties and specificed block. It cannot be done with etherscan, since contract source is not available but simple script can do it.

hash_kitty , 05 March 2018 21:12

Out of curiosity I've made a small research on it. Here is the deal.

Currently there are 15951 kitties born from parents with unique dominant body trait, meaning that parent dominant body trait is not repeated in recessive gens of itself or other parent also dominant body trait is not mutant.

Each of those 15951 got dominant body trait from one the parent, out of which 7946 got it from mother and 8005 from sire. So seems like there is slightly less chances to get dominant body trait from mother, like 0.5% but that's a normal error for this sample size I guess.

hash_kitty , 06 March 2018 19:00

According to various breeding calculators there is no difference between Dame and Sire, but we all know that it is not that simple, so we decided to run a test. We took 2 nice kitties and bred them twice, changing their roles. While waiting, we kinda expected to get almost identical twins but it didn't happen. The result strengthened our feeling that MOMS RULE!

Overwatch_Falcon , 05 March 2018 17:59

Thats how it works? pay to get in on something early or wait till its not in demand. be positioned well and trade someone with the new traits. the first one is the hardest the rest arent so bad

Slabmason710 , 05 March 2018 13:31

Not a hard problem to solve. New traits and high demand traits should have a starting bid at 100 ether. Bots can be our guests to be the first buyer. The higher the rich pay, the bigger CK treasury have to develop this game.

Similar problem here. Listed a Gen 0 cat for sale 1.5 hours ago. Went through on the blockchain within minutes, but still not yet showing on site. So - can't buy anything, can't sell anything.

Really hope they fix these sorts of issues before the China launch, because if the site becomes dysfunctional right after launch then that will probably kill any buzz and interest generated by the launch.

Yes and no. There could be a fancy out there that needs it but I don't think many people try to breed koala pairs. You'll find most of us breeding it with oldlace in order to create onyx.

matteblackale , 04 March 2018 01:52

elfmachine100 , 02 March 2018 22:55

Well considering they said there will produce hundreds of fancies, all traits will most likely be used, many times. Also there are only a handful of fancies out and there are many repeats of traits; Henna, onyx, wolgrey, strawberry, cymric, spock, crazy, and potentially Wild (d) with the dogcat. I don't think it's fair to criticize a company when they are planning on releasing hundreds to maybe a thousand fancies based off the information from 13 fancies.

Also many classic traits have been discontinued (Except for Totesbasic), so when fancies will require those traits. Those traits will have a higher premium since kittyclock isn't producing more of them.

weareallfungi , 02 March 2018 23:15

they don't, it's only financially feasible for them.

Ouruborealis , 02 March 2018 23:06

What I see happening is a bunch of fancies being lost because we aren't breeding old traits. They are perceived as having low value but are still necessary for the game. Hence Tabby being found.

matteblackale , 03 March 2018 01:30

old traits are worth alot man. go and look at Gen:0 orange soda gen:0 aquamarine gen:0 salmon. they have been very good about discontinuing traits and bringing in new ones to keep the game fresh and to help the earlier investors cats raise in value. old cats are definitely the furthest away from worthless as possible. lol. unless you invested in high generation cats then that was obviously a bad speculation made by yourself. and the fancies will literally be innumerable they will keep making as many fancies as we cap out till the end of time if the game stays relevant. no traits are worthless, some may be undervalued in the current market but that doesnt make them worthless.

Slabmason710 , 03 March 2018 04:15

I think every fancy breeder needs at least 50% of all traits released in order to compete in the fancy market, it seems for most recipes you need: 1 new gen, 1 mutation, 1 old trait, 1 easy trait . New players don't have old traits, for example is not easy task to get jaguar in gen0 or 1 (even 2,3). The best generations to buy for a fancy breeder are 4,5,6, all traits are there, some cats are under .008 eth. So we can create fancies at least gen 6,7 or 8

glitterchoke , 02 March 2018 18:42

I’m just a player with a deep obsession with this game, so please take my comments in that context. I certainly don’t expect people to spend the thousands of hours that I have spent learning about this game. But when investing in any blockchain asset, it’s good to know what you’re actually investing in and what is only a promise, and especially what might appear to be a promise but turns out was never actually promised by anyone. On the other hand, when playing an online game, it’s pretty standard to know that the rules will change and what is valuable and powerful one day will become old and worthless another day, and the only constant is change.

Overall, this seems largely an issue of educating the community what aspects are a blockchain collectible and what aspects are an online game, and which set of rules and promises apply to each aspect.

The actual blockchain assets that were bought and sold have not changed. The information is readily available that the asset you own when you buy or breed a cryptokitty is a 256 bit hex string representing a certain kitty gene sequence which in turn has a representation in-game (on the centralized website) that follows certain rules, rules which were always intended to be somewhat mysterious and therefore never guaranteed. To put it plainly: you own the string of hex characters, but everything that makes the string fun and interesting is currently controlled by CK in a centralized fashion. (Players have the option to do anything they want with those strings since they own them, inclusing making a whole secondary alternate universe game. That’s one thing that blockchain and ownership makes possible, and maybe one day a community will build that. Then where will your value come from? The status of your owned string as a crypto kitty? Or whatever form it takes in the other “universe”? Value is what someone is willing to pay, and that will always change. The game updates tend to keep people engaged which tends to help keep kitties valuable overall/on the whole. Keep that in mind—a stangant game probably costs players far more than one where changes affect the relative value lf individual kitties.)

CK has traditionally been good about making the in-game image be consistent (for the most part) even when a “printing error” means the wrong inage is assigned for the kitty’s genetics or the auto generated graphic components themselves are updated (sometimes in subtle ways like the versions of cymric, sometimes not suvtle like the newer pouty), so that has created a sense of trust and comfort that what we see in the centralized game is as immutable as what lives on the blockchain. (CK has promised to find a way to make the bios and kitty image live on the blockchain somehow, and are working on the best solution to that. If you ONLY play this game because you think it is completely decentralized, it is not and you need to know that. Also, to my next point, even when they add this hash to the blockchain it will still have many components which affect kitty value on the open market which are 100% centralized and correctly so.)

However even this apparently inmutable kitty appearance has never been true: when new eye colors are released, on several occasions this resulted in kitty background colors (which most would consider to be part of the kitty’s appearance in game) being incorrect for a time and then later updated. This is because while the kitty image is hosted on Amazon’s servers and generated only one time at birth, features like the background color are programmatically/dynamically set by the website, and the website did not have data on the new eye colors (possibly to prevent data mining of new traits... because when they set up new traits like “parrot” in the system, people like me can pretty easily read them and see what they may look like. It’s a wonderful green color, by the way.) What is the correct move here? Expose future traits? Or have a short period where the website shows something incorrect that can and will easily be changed?

But CK is a game, and games get updated to add new features and try to make existing features more fun or just different in order to keep players engaged. Necessarily, these new features have largely been “front-end” or website only “centralized” features like kitty appearance and kitty background color. And then we got the new family jewels feature which also definitely affected the relative value of all kitties in the game. The underlying blockchain asset is 100% the same as it ever was, but now some of those strings have in-game centralized expressed implications that (should) result in new graphics being displayed on the website (jewels and mutations). This kind of thing will almost certainly always be front end only. That means that, like background colors, they are suvjevt to change. I trust CK not to change these arbitrarily, but I also expect them to be correct. And so it is: when a front end bug is discovered, ot tends to be fixed. That’s how things work in online games, and CK os no exception. Which means it is important to understand that the relative value of your kitties will always be changing as a direct result of in-game front-end changes. The newer those changes, the more likely they are to have a bug (despite everyone’s best efforts, bug free code can never be 100% guaranteed, especially as it becomes more and more complex). Buying and selling based on new (or even announced or inferred) updates to the game is and always will be a risk/reward calculation that you will have to make. In this case some players took a risk that family jewels would work the way they seemed like they should work and some players took a risk that family jewels would act like kitty images and be “permanent”.

The biggest problem is I don’t think most players knew they were taking a risk at all. Both had reason to believe that their expectations for how things would work were correct. But the existence of the bug meant that one set would turn out to be wrong because either the bug would be allowed to continue or the bug would be fixed. As a game mechanic, I personally hope the decision would be to make the fix, and so it was. In other online games there is often no kind of compensation when an item you purchased because it behaved super powerfully gets “nerfed” because it turns out to be too powerful (whether due to a bug or a poor game design decision), though there are certainly cases where compensation was made available. I agree with requesting some kind of compensation for changes to the game that negatively affected your items especially when you feel you had no reason to believe you were taking a gamble when buying those items. I don’t think compensation should be guaranteed or common, but in extreme cases I hope it would and could occur. (CK has compensated early adopters who had kitties whose genes and/or expressed cattributes did not match they kitty image, for example. This is great. No compensation was offered or even requested from what I understand when the first sapphire kitties had topaz background colors. This is also great.)

This brings us to a messier change, which is the change to all fancies being limited. Family jewels were a relatively new feature when the bug was discovered and fixed. Fancies have been a part of the game from the start and the rules were absolutely never explicitly stated and CERTAINLY never promised to be a certain way. But of course humans are pattern matching machines and we discovered patterns and tested theories which continued to “prove” true, then made a lot of value judgements on the basis of those theories. Then everything changed with only the smallest hints that things would or could change. And this affected almost everything and everyone in the game. This more than anything has probably helped show everyone that there exists (remember: there has always existed) a divide between what you own on the blockchain and what only exists as a game within CK. The game is where kitty value is created based mostly on player expectations and theories about how changes or non changes to the game will affect future kitty value. And this distinction had been mostly academic for most players until now. [1/2, continued in reply.]

AtAlanfalcon , 02 March 2018 19:53

I think a reasonable question here is what is the point of CK being built on the block chain? If all of the new, interesting changes are going to be centralized why build on the block chain to start with? If the block chain is central to what makes CK the great game it is, why stray further and further from the block chain?

Steven-Patrick , 02 March 2018 23:21

This cat had Four lapis mewtations, yes FOUR !!!

https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/73619

All of them have been removed because he was a child of two fancies. I had great hope to sell this cat around 1ETH (only 250 cat with four mewtations in the whole game) and now this is a shit-cat among other shit cats.

I am very very disapointed by this update ...

I don't think breaking the family lines was a big deal, but losing such a unique cat is.

bibdieu , 03 March 2018 00:13

Lets make a small experiment to illustrate the fact that with EVERY decision to change (fix) something, Axiom Zen is causing some pain and moves value from one catholder to another. And with every announcement Axiom Zen creates expectations. And every tinkering creates a need for further tinkering.

From blog post:

"We’re going to make sure all the CryptoKitties that were supposed to get Family Jewels and mewtation gems will get them. We’re putting the fix in as soon as we can, probably as you are reading this or even before."

So as we now know that Axiom Zen has taken a path to fix all injustice done to supposed jewel/gem owners, lets try to capitalize on it. There are several cats on the market carrying wrong jewels, and in some case selling cheaper than they should. First 10 mewtations, for example, currently sell rarely below 0.1, but some of them are on the market cheaper, because they do not carry the supposed golden "gilded" mewtation badges. While it looks like Axiom Zen fixed several earlier mistakes, new cattributes are still buggy.

From the quote above - Axiom Zen is going to fix it, so I am buying kitties 573059 and 573855 and wait until the fix is done. They would sell for 0.1 each, so I will win, sellers will lose. One loses 0.02 eth, the other 0.06 eth.

I am not doing this (currently) for gain, so once the fix is done, I will transfer to sellers the difference to the price I would be ready to pay, as noted above. Or they can have the cats back, if they insist and reimburse the cost.

Technicals: kitties have variable for each cattribute showing the id of kitty they inherited it from and rank of this ancestor kitty. If this ancestor id coincides with kitty id itself, it means that this is mewtation - cattribute is not inherited. So these 2 kitties, I just bought, show their position of 'buzzed' as 11 and 12. But if you look the first 'buzzed' cats - there are numbers 5 and 8 missing, so the real numbers should be 9 and 10. Even if you don't look under the hood - kitty 573059 is 10-th kitty EVER with 'buzzed', so how can it have 11+ mutation badge?

papaCK , 03 March 2018 13:15

Mr_R_Andom , 02 March 2018 22:16

Nope, it's an "Internal transaction" since eth is trasnfered by Sales Auction smart contract. Check Internal Transactions tab.

hash_kitty , 02 March 2018 22:33

The blockchain does not lie. If you kitty sold you received your ETH, you need to check 'internal transactions'

weareallfungi , 02 March 2018 22:43

noob-breeder , 02 March 2018 08:05

I think it's a good idea and can help, but we also don't know CK's plans for fancies in the future. Will there be 6 to 8 traits fancies that can only be bred from fancy + fancy? Who knows? If they have this planned then making them sterile or catatonic to start really ruins those plans.

Also, just from a different perspective. I'm not a huge whale, but I think I'm pretty well situated in the game with over 1,000 kitties. Once I realized there was a Yuri cap I went farming and only bred one pair that was Fancy + Fancy. The rest of my pairs for 3/4 or 3.5/4. That fancy + fancy pair did give me 4 Yuri's which I was happy about, but with the 3/4 pairs I was able to pop out 16 more Yuri's in a 24 hour window. So, from a "non-whale" if whales wanted to farm fancies they can still do so, pretty well with just 3/4's and 3.5/4.

weareallfungi , 02 March 2018 08:26

You can't change the core game mechanic of any kitty being born ready and able to breed with their normal cooldown. As far as the smart contract is concerned, a fancy is just another cat same as any other cat. All you can do is change the rules for producing a fancy. There have been many suggestions, most of which probably fall apart in practice. But one that MIGHT work (or, yeah, might just fall apart in practice) is introduce a fancy lockout restriction for children and grandchildren of fancies. Figuring out how to communicate this to players and display it in the UI is an exercise for another time, but as a gameplay mechanic it makes it much more expensive to make a fancy farm, which helps even the odds a bit on breeding near misses together. It's still not a perfect solution even if the UI issues could be solved, but it is something new and different to think about which is at least theoretically possible given the realities of the game/blockchain (as I understand them). [Also, weareallfungi has a good point in another comment that this probably doesn't significantly change anything.]

AtAlanfalcon , 02 March 2018 08:30

it caught me so off guard I sold my mistletoe gen 1 that I bred for 1.25 eth a month ago im crying now

xboxerdude , 02 March 2018 09:25

One solution: Allow breed fancy with fancy, but never show in the front end a new fancy, because at least sire or matron has to be a normal cat.

kryptofan , 02 March 2018 13:21

Like the idea of sterilizing the fancies - increases difficulty breeding, slows down the farms, adds more value to the fancies themselves. But I'm afraid that would upset this next thing with the catdog dragons so probably not.

You can check genes on cryptokittydex - all 16 share those 8 traits, so need to wait for first bred kitties or clues from CK team.

Also, any word on how they got around the App Store’s limitations on using cryptocurrencies for payments?

syd430 , 02 March 2018 12:01

I care because I want to offload my 10 or so remaining kitties for a decent profit. That’s probably not going to happen until demand picks up substantially, something I can’t see happening until they move away from MetaMask and there’s an app that people can buy directly from.

Hey Jodi,

I think (I hope?)I covered much of what new players would ask about the game in my Starter Guide on http://kittyhelper.club/starter-guide/

You can check it out and see if any of the info there is useful for you. :)

jezztharipper , 02 March 2018 01:43

The greatest issue seems to be consolidating and distributing detailed information about kitty genes, sale history, etc. A number of people have put together different tutorials but as a community it seems like we have failed to bring that all together into a wiki. In addition, it's good to point to any media related sources but CK's website already does a decent job of this.

Since the game involves a market, it's important to do the best we can to highlight what data is mutable and what data isn't. As this relates to the technology, we are referring to data stored on CK's servers versus the block-chain. This isn't necessarily an issue for a new player in there first moments playing but a kind of "debt" that can be accrued because they didn't understand what aspects of a kitties value may be changed by technical changes (e.g. fancy number, mewtations).

Changing the breeding fee now would be cat-astrophic for the game IMO. There may be ways to help alleviate the cost in other ways though, ones which increase the value of kitties rather than cause them to plummet.

Because the fancy status is not in the smart contract or in the block chain. It's something the devs decide.

As I said before, If the team continued put "NEW Fancy" on the market, it is a terrible idea.

But, if the team only cheer people up for the chinese marketing, that is ok.

But wish the team hear something, less fancy then can make fancy as "FANCY", otherwise the fancy cats are just "NORMAL"

Read the smart contract before you bash something that's been laid out since day one.

weareallfungi , 01 March 2018 17:20

The account is the account the devs use for giveaways, also the devs can create 5000 gen0 for promotions in the contract

pirahnatsunami66 , 01 March 2018 16:01

The developers have a set number of promo kitties they can create and sell or give away as they choose, which was laid out from day one. It's actually kind of funny because they've chosen to give away Gen 1 "promo kitties" as well during Benny's World Tour, which makes a lot of sense. But the funny part is that to generate these gen 1s they have to breed a bunch of gen 0s together like the rest of us, and pay the breeding fee and wait for cooldowns and everything :-) So this is just everything working A) Exactly as intended and B) Exactly as they've said it would work from day 1, with a little extra creativity thrown in on their part!

AtAlanfalcon , 01 March 2018 16:11

I see nothing wrong here. Currently 3016 promo cats have been created - 3000 founder cats and 16 dogcats, I suppose. Also any new gen 0 can only be created by an account in control of the dev team. So issuance of gen 0 was always centralized and controlled by devs. Smart contract only limits total supply of gen 0s and sets starting auction price, which is calculated from previous auctions (if it is not promo cats that's are transferred straight to owner without auction). So prices of normal gen 0s are not controlled by devs.

hash_kitty , 01 March 2018 17:32

Just to confirm: the account is in our hands so there is nothing to worry. These kitties still need to be given out.

There are actually few interesting things about that:

1) 56xxxx-57xxxx are 8 dogkitties (created as promo kitties by CCO account) that I suppose to be distributed later. You can check with cryptokittydex that those have same 8 traits as other 8 dogkitties that are owned by "World Tour" account.

2) 328932, 329198, 329414 are more interesting I guess those 3 kitties which were created like normal gen 0s and bought on auction by CCO account. Those kitties have exactly same genes and there is 4th kitty with the same gens, which was not bought by CCO (https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/329043). I guess those 3 kitties will be use as promo someday later or there was some kind of testing.

3) 332410, 290426, 211679 - seem to be normal cats owned by 2 different accounts, pictures for 2 of them can be seen - nothing fancy, but no pages on the site.

4) Another interesting cat is 559805 - picture for that can be seen, but not page on the site. It is just a failed attempt to breed stiches - was bought by CCO account for 0.002 eth - who knows why..

hash_kitty , 01 March 2018 17:22

icesnowday , 01 March 2018 13:00

I understand what happens. While the oldest data in my database, I was able to compare. Your kitty 558733 has gene mutation at coloreyes - pumpkin. http://www.rolldice.club/cryptokitties/wkt_kitty.php?id=558733 In OldJewel version it makes new blue gem Mewtation (position:420). In NewJewel your gene mutation at coloreyes does not create blue gem Mewtation, but receives blue gem (position: 372) from kitty 548760.

Why?

Link between 558733 and 548760:

558733 <= 552685 + 544781

552685 <= 552590 + 548147

552590 (Stitches) <= 548697 + 548760

Kitty 552590 grandmother of 558733 and daughter of 548760 is Fancy. In OldJewel version fancy broke the inheritance chain, and 558773 has not received a blue gem from 548760, and has created new gem Mewtation. In NewJewel version 558773 has received "higher grade" 372 gem, instead 420.

Remember, gene mutation is not always "Mewtation". In my opinion it's wrong, but Axiom Zen set rules. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoKitties/comments/7y2uwa/diamonds_are_a_fake_here_is_an_example/

So many of my kitties have lost their Mewtations as expected. I have to say, this does seem quite unfair. As I did spend money on those Kitties for the reason that they had Mewtations, some with multiple. And now the vast majority have lost them. Will there be any kind of compensation for this? I wouldn't have gotten these Kitties if I knew they would be devalued with this update. I'm counting about 20 Mewtations lost overall. That's so disappointing. :(

AquaGoblin , 01 March 2018 03:07

How are more people not upset by this? Or perhaps they just haven't noticed? The point of ethereum based contracts is that they're suppose to be contracts. A contract once executed is suppose to be unchangeable. And yet many of us just had what we 'bought' changed into something we wouldn't have bought. How is that fair...?

Haveagreatdaysir , 01 March 2018 03:25

This is deeply disturbing. I hope developers reconsider the decision.

1. What will happen with other "mistakes"? With those cats carrying 12-16 cattributes, for example?

2. As your technical architect dete73 declared on earlier post here - you are committed to make metadata immutable. Your current decision goes right against this pledge. Does current decision mean that you reserve the right to play around with metadata, and we should not trust any information outside the blockchain?

I am losing a bit with the decision, but bigger loss is loss of confidence. Don't do this, guys, really.

CheapKitty , 28 February 2018 13:30

hash_kitty , 27 February 2018 16:17

As the technical architect and lead designer of the CK breeding algorithm, let me tell you that we feel your pain. And I can also assure you that we felt that pain before we even launched.

Limiting the number of Fancies was one of our goals from the moment we conceived of the idea. And we tried REALLY hard to find an efficient way to test for Fancies (and enforce limits) in the smart contract. In the end, we couldn't get it to work. You know those birthing fees that seem so unreasonable? They'd need to be double, or even triple, what they are today to properly check for Fancies on the blockchain. (Short explanation: Every Kitty that is born needs to be tested against every possible Fancy recipe. We couldn't think of any short cuts that didn't require looping over every Fancy recipe for every new kitten.)

At the same time, we really love the Fancy Hunt. As most of you know, we didn't even tease the necessary ingredients for the first Fancies, we just waited for them to pop randomly and then left it to the community to try to figure out the triggers. Of course, we've taken to teasing cattributes these days, which is it's own kind of Hunt. (But not for every Fancy! There are some Fancies that are attainable right now, with currently available genes, that haven't been uncovered yet...) The Fancy Hunt wouldn't be possible if we checked for Fancies on-chain, because the recipes would need to be right out there on the open blockchain. (Even if we had some way of obfuscating the code, folks would be able to brute force the recipes just by trying every possible combination using an Ethereum Virtual Machine running locally.)

So, unfortunately, that means that the release of Fancies is going to remain centralized for the foreseeable future. We know (and hate) that this makes the experience less pure, but this was a case where we had to choose between "pure" vs. "fun and practical". "Fun and practical" had to win. (We also hate that we've had Printing Errors like Santas 1001 and 1002. Thankfully, we appear to have squashed that bug!)

It's worth noting (for those that aren't aware) that we have committed to putting Kitty metadata (which will include bios, images, gems, and badges) into IPFS, and then storing the content hash on the blockchain. This is not as easy as it sounds (IPFS isn't as robust and mature as you might hope, and storing things on Ethereum is pretty slow and expensive, even something as small as content hashes), but it will happen. The system for determining which cats count as Fancies can stay centralized (and therefore surprising and fun) while the Fancy Kitties themselves will become trustlessly immutable.

dete73 , 27 February 2018 23:57

Yeah, the centralization aspect kinda sucks. After those big plans to have even the images on the blockchain, it's starting to look like they change anythin they want on the whim. I mean, we always knew that, but if they want people to believe in kitties permanence, they shouldn't really do those inconsistent, frontend-only changes - like changing the art of the cattributes, changing text of the bios or fancy limits, none of which is set in the kitty's code.

The limits, while enhancing the FOMO, are also greatly limiting the people who can get to the fancies...if you just wanted the fancy and couldn't spend so much, you could just wait a bit until the ingredents were cheap enough. And you could make your own from catatonic cats...now the limit is hit before it's born, even if you were among the first to guess the right combo. While it makes fancies more exclusive and increases their price, it also makes the ingredient-kitties prices plummet the minute they're no longer needed, which was a much bigger market than those few actual fancies.

The "special feature" thing is nice. Adds a lot of perspective to how rare something is. For example, as far as I can tell, this is the first "fancy cat" and number 1 in 2000. Cool. That's truly rare. I get it. Although you'd need to be crazy ETH rich to even consider buying it.

But how can I find out how much really rare Kitties are actually selling for, say in the last couple of weeks.

confusedkittyowner , 27 February 2018 02:38

Of the two options, selling is more likely to work out best for you if you can figure out the right price. The problem with siring it is that there is no good way to search for gene purity in sires other than checking one by one which gets old fast. So nobody is likely to pay a premium to sire with your kitty.

IMO the best thing to do is to breed it out yourself when the mewtation pair comes out and sell successful mewtations. This definitely costs you more and is riskier since even in the best case you have a less than 25% chance of a mewtation with each breed and could miss 8 times in a row. But it should have a higher expected payout overall.

As to your second question, I would jump on whichever comes first. The ideal would be a fancy that requires the mewtation off sizzurp.

So it depends entirely on your goals and circumstances.

WeAllMagic , 27 February 2018 10:47

I actually just started up today myself, and I have managed to get 3 kitties, but I can't do anything yet! I tried to connect my credit card to my account, but apparently I messed up the part where you put in the two transaction amounts they charge to your account, so I have to wait 24 hours. :(

I'm excited to start breeding and selling though!

I had the same experience. I bought from opskins before buying in the CK marketplace because coinbase was giving me problems. I had to log into coinbase and verify my account.

poopiecryptocats , 25 February 2018 04:25

I just tried authenticating the card for a second time and I KNOW that I entered the two charge amounts correctly this time and it STILL isn't letting me link my card. Unbelievable.

I've sent an email to support. I hope they can get me going.

IamKevio , 25 February 2018 06:26

That why you need first to make one account at Bitstamp ( like i did ) and get approved for transactions, after that deposit with your card in Bitstamp (or other platform you chose ) , you can buy ETH , BTC or XRP . After this send ETH to your Kittie account wallet. Done !

peucoz , 25 February 2018 11:16

Some CC Companies are refusing Crypto purchases... Make sure yours isn't on the list. If it is dump it.

boom603 , 25 February 2018 14:19

As much as I don't want to ... its easier to use Coinbase with bank account. My credit card worked but even if you get past that there are limits on credit card purchases. And some credit cards that don't outright ban crypto purchases charge higher fees for transactions.

ParanoidLunatic , 25 February 2018 01:19

it's most like a metamask issue - sometimes it sets gas limit too high indeed. You can just manually change Gas Limit to "300000" units that should be enough for most CK transactions including bidOnSiringAuction. Also consider changing Gas Price value according to https://ethgasstation.info/ standard price or a little above it (by default it usually set about that value) to minimize transaction cost. For example currently standard gas price is 2 gwei, so you can set it to 2.000001 gwei so your transaction gets ahead of those with standard gas price. It usually would take 2-3 minutes to confirm that transaction, so it's unlikely that someone else will bid before you.

hash_kitty , 25 February 2018 16:26

I have tried all the suggestions mentioned above but unfortunately nothing seems to work and I keep getting the same error. I can breed my kitties with each other and I can put them for sale/siring but I cannot buy a kitty or sire with one in an auction. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

leema_ , 27 February 2018 22:21

Yes you must first buy this kitti https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/285297 put the GAS to 5 and after that you can breed your kitties with public :D:D:D

Did they really think this through? Of course they made “fancy hunters” happy but what they did is

1. Concentrate power in the hands of a few rich (which of course happens anyway in life but it was extremely exasperated) who could breed fancies together like this guy whose account is a Santa farm https://www.cryptokitties.co/profile/0x48386386f3bdf3c6dc0de6f53bc5957fc4e1e30d/all/1. At one point he had 4 consecutive number Santa cats. It is so much easier to make a fancy if you can breed the fancies together

2. In an attempt to stabilize the economy, they devalued all the failed fancy cats which of course didn’t have too much value but now there’s so many more than there were and they are worthless now.

3. There are people, myself included, who were slowly acquiring low gen parts to make a fancy later down the road that got screwed over in this because like my point above those cats are useless now.

4. Caused massive panic in the community. I’d guess a significant number of people did not get much sleep the last two days.

I think they could have accomplished their goal in a more fair manner (or maybe they just don’t care but they seem like they kinda do) if they thought about it a little more.

1. They could have made new fancies moving forward limited so that everyone is on the same playing field.

2. They could make fancies sterile moving forward so there’s no advantage to already owning tons of fancies.

3. They could make it a time limit instead of a cat limit because again you just get a whale in there and they blow the number limit very quickly. Of course with a time limit, you still have whale problems but there will always be whales and bots so at least in this case other people have more of a shot. Plus in this case, people can get some damn sleep instead of worrying about whether or not the cap has been hit!

Of course I wouldn’t be posting this if I didn’t feel screwed over so there’s my disclosure but I honestly feel like something like this should have been thought out more. Did they really think the limits wouldn’t start being hit within a couple days? That’s what makes me think that they didn’t think it through.

Pencilboy22 , 25 February 2018 21:28

picked up 3 negato and a momo last night on the cheap when their test glitched out negatos being able to breed. best fomo ever.

ddddddjim , 24 February 2018 03:22

Goodbye, Santa. At first it was like there were too many of you. Now it is like there will never be enough.

WeAllMagic , 25 February 2018 13:46

All the cheapest Yuri has been sold!! In a matter of seconds... price was like 0.1 eth gen 10 or 9 ... now are gone forever... In this moment the person is breeding the 'cheap' yuris between them, getting more and more yuries... In less than 24 hours the limit will be reach. (same for the other categories of fancies).

kryptofan , 24 February 2018 04:51

This is the best news since CK was released. Now collectors know exactly how many will be made and there are no guessing games or waiting for more info from the source. BRAVO CK. Breeding has enough variance. The community that I am a part of is very happy with this update.

syd430 , 24 February 2018 07:47

They've told us there are hundreds of fancies planned, and that they intend to continue to support the game for years. I'm excited. The fact that they're now okay with having limited edition fancies means that they can introduce fancy recipes that overlap with existing trait combos -- anything after X id number until the limit is reached would be a fancy, so it won't matter if there already exists, say, a norwegianforest ganado azaleablush sass: that could still be the new "Miss Purrfect" fancy recipe.

Overwatch_Falcon , 24 February 2018 12:37

We have numerous Fancies planned and there are a few Fancy Cats currently in the game that users have yet to discover.

ResidentCoolCat , 27 February 2018 00:19

it seems one of the main goals for a player of the game is to become a 'professional fancy breeder'. Now there are 3 trojan gens not used yet.

DERPYBASTARD , 24 February 2018 05:14

...important quote from the article...

"Unfortunately, copyright and legal terms of service are blunt instruments. We know that the way things are now is not good enough, but defining “good enough” takes longer than we’d like.

What I can do is make a firm commitment for early next year: We are going to store all Kitty images in IPFS, and store an immutable hash of that image in the blockchain. Once this happens, no one — not us, not you, not some black-hat hacker — will be able to change or destroy the image of your Kitties. Access to the image of your cat will not depend on our servers or our Amazon account. This is a top priority for us now, and was a part of our plan from the beginning"

"We are also working to “change the terms to grant you a limited license to use the specific arrangement of graphic elements defined by your Kitty’s DNA,” just as Greg proposed."

...I personally would be interested in understanding how to remove the "limited license" and making it unrestricted...my real world cat is unrestricted, I'd hope the virtual ones to be as well...

de_stroyed88 , 23 February 2018 20:57

This resource may help - it doesn't give you a value estimate, just shows you what some desirable elements of your cats are that you can't see at a glance. https://cryptokitties411.com/2018/02/16/how-to-value-your-kitties/

Beyond that, the best way I've found is to read up on the game (cryptokitties411 has a TON of helpful information) and learn which traits are more desirable than others, then price kitties based on the most desirable trait or trait combo it has. In general, the main considerations are generation (lower is better), rare traits, being part of a desired mutation or fancy, and purebred genes. Jewels may also be a factor, and virginity definitely is.

Here's an example - Jaguar is a pretty rare trait, so if I had a virgin gen 2 cat that had it, I'd generally search for "gen:2 jaguar," sort by cheapest, and price it similarly regardless of its other traits.

But if it was a purebred jaguar, or had the jaguar trait in at least one recessive gene along with the dominant one, I'd price it higher than others of its gen that don't.

And if it had traits that were part of any of the fancies that use jaguar mutations (momo-chan and negato use henna, earnie uses hotrod), I'd price it even higher.

BUT if it were, say, the only cymric azaleablush jaguar on the market, it might seem extra rare, but that additional rarity isn't worth anything. Lots of cats are one-of-a-kind - unless that kind includes extra value, that doesn't really matter.

ashkestar , 24 February 2018 01:44

pricing is always difficult, especially if they are not gen zeros, because it is so dependent on a variety of factors (e.g., market/volume/rarity/generation/cooldown). i'd recommend checking out (https://opensea.io/assets/cryptokitties) to see if you can find similar kitties to compare current prices.

as for your kitties, while adorable I do not think they are worth much at the moment (personal opinion <$5 USD) as they are mostly high generation count with slow cooldowns. if you ever do want to turn a profit, focus more on obtaining kitties with low gen/cooldowns with attributes that have yet to be paired/mutated to create a new attribute. whale breeders (they do exist) snap up these kitties without much regard for the price as they want to be the first to breed the new mutation or fancy.

this is my personal opinion as i am not an expert either, but i have profited from the game with gen zeros. best of luck!

pparkie , 23 February 2018 22:21

high gen cats aren't worth much right now even though you have some good traits like onyx, otaku, and elk, for example. what you do have that is of value to some collectors is low numbered cats. the ones you have below 37k should sell better than the ones you have at 300k+ for no other reason than the low ID number. what are they worth? use https://www.kittyexplorer.com/ to get an idea based on traits. value based on ID may be harder to determine.

twitchtvbitcoinlouie , 23 February 2018 11:09

Too bad that they are capping the Negatos at 500, all other cats after that will be Onyx + wolf + sly + henna. Which will make these no longer a rare cat as other can make them as well.

weareallfungi , 24 February 2018 21:38

thats dope!

Slabmason710 , 23 February 2018 19:12

maybe they are putting a limit for the number of fancies. Are new negatos after your 'misprint'? This and other 'bugs' had happen this week, maybe there are many other bugs waiting. So what happen if they fix the problem? you are going to have a normal negato

Interesting. I wasn't aware Apple had this policy. Now that I think about it, it makes sense - allowing crypto payments in game would be a huge threat to their lucrative app store revenue stream.

Couple this with the fact that all mobile games in China must get government approval for release, and I'm beginning to think we may never see CK on mobile released in China.

And Animoca seems as new to blockchain games as anyone else by the looks of it. Their history is as a publisher of mobile games based on licenced brands, such as Garfield and Mattel's brands. CryptoKitties appears to be the first time they've done anything related to crypto/blockchain.

Would love to get more insights into this Apple policy as well. On the surface it doesn't bode well for their China release.

elbak283 , 23 February 2018 09:43

I'm super curious about all of this as well. Maybe you just pay Apple a 30% surcharge on your crypto fees and people will still do it because it's so convenient?

They won't make any more, that is why it is good to understand what traits aren't in production anymore. This is kinda of like rewarding the early adopters as they had the chance to buy this trait cheap and have it grow in value over time. Other traits that are common now should stop production as well (look for amur to be stopping, and other similar to when that came out).

Dupontgoer , 22 February 2018 16:50

I'm going for gen:24 with 64 diamonds in its bloodline so people will be able to pick and choose what kind of 8 diamond cat they want to have.

Slabmason710 , 23 February 2018 03:06

I guess jewels are not much valuable. Jewel just mean that some ancestor of the kitty was among first to discover the trait. Since jewels are inherited by all descendants, total supply of jewels for each trait is potentially unlimited, so inflation is high and value is low. On the other hand Mewtations for each trait have limited supply, so should have some more value.

If someone else buys the kitty after you sent your bid but before it is confirmed, then when your transaction gets mined it will fail (TxReceipt Status: Fail) and your money will be returned (minus the gas you paid). You don't get any other more specific notification.

lookitsme14 , 22 February 2018 04:00

it comes as a recessive in gen0

kryptofan , 22 February 2018 04:33

It's not a mutation, so you can't breed two other traits together to get it. You just have to inherit the gene from a parent kitty.

Hecatonquiro , 21 February 2018 16:06

DERPYBASTARD , 21 February 2018 18:57

The most logical way to create a holiday fancy tradition is to turn on the fancy-button 1-2 weeks prior to said holiday and turn off 1-2 weeks following. No one wants to breed Santa in June nor do investors want their prized kitty's devalued to rubbish.

This also creates a new category of fancy gens to be named something cute. It could also be dashed, but thats not fun (i.e. Purrfect gen7- year2)

8trackbagholder , 22 February 2018 00:51

Will we know when the time limit is reached? That would be nice. Sucks to breed for something you can't get anymore...

dont_hate_scienceguy , 22 February 2018 02:20

Speculation is

Time limit : Valentines Day 2019 (still 360 days to go, breed now)

They also say they will announce “way before” the limit is reached. We are at 400+ now, and still no announcement, so we are not even “way close”. So another speculation:

Number limit: maybe 50k (just like gen 0) or 8327 (as rare as Ducat).

3.5% of every transaction and 100% of the sales from gen:0 kittyclock

Slabmason710 , 20 February 2018 14:09

Here's a copypaste from a comment I wrote about the money flow:

• The gen 0 kitties are created by a smart contract owned by the creators of the game. The profile that holds these kitties is called "Kitty Clock". Any Ether used to purchase kitties from this clock goes to the developers.
  
• There is a 3.75% commission on every transaction that goes through the CryptoKitties smart contract. This commission also goes to the developers.
• There is also a similar account called "CK COO" which owned the first 100 cats, called the Founder cats. Any purchases from this account also went to the developers. All of these cats have been sold somewhere around the launch of the game.

And things not for the developers:

• The flat breeding fee (currently 0.008 ether) goes towards the people who call the giveBirth function when a matron is ready to give birth. This system was created so people can get rewarded for helping the blockchain and CryptoKitties.
• Transaction fees used to process your transactions go to the Ethereum miners.

IMO it would honestly better to not reveal hints. It gives a MASSIVE advantage to those who already have a good portion of the new CK mutation and fancy market corner because they have hundreds of low gen, multi-trait cats from the profits or initial investment that now collaborate with lots of the bigger CK fan sites.

They have virtually unlimited eth to breed and enough low gen cats, and even with 2 revealed traits or pretty obvious hints they are bound to have a HUGE upper hand on breeding the first / one of the first few of the new fancies with no repercussion since within the current economy the .008 eth to breed for a cat that will sell for close to 1eth is such a negligible cost to someone with the amount they are holding.

This really just ends up perpetuating the big CK accounts making 300+ eth off CK to keep netting money and giving the smaller accounts or those without the contacts they have a serious disadvantage that a lot of the time ends up leading to CK becoming a money sink where a player will end up with a bunch of useless gen 8s they breed for another useless cat that won't even net close to the breed fee.

There's definitely groups of the wealthy in CK who collaborate and have an insider group (not neccesarily affiliated with the devs, but keep in mind the CK fan sites do speak with the dev team as well to help develop tools) to continue to profit using information that isn't as quickly readily available even for someone of those active in the discord.

Ultimately I don't think there's a good solution. Most of those people started with a lot of available capital to invest or learned how to profit early on, which was smart on their part, but now is really creating a severe issue that I could see driving away new players when they see the same 3-4 people selling off their useless gen 1s for the cheapest price and constantly be churning out new, valuable kitties even if they have a few failed trials while they get stuck with failed cats that they can't even get .002 eth for.

When you breed your own cats the breeding fee is 0.008 ETH. When you breed with someone else's cats it's 0.008 ETH plus whatever price they charge.

Fantastic video! Welcome to the community! It's so great to re-experience what it's like to be thrown into this game and then find yourself completely lost. Hahaha. I have many things to say. :-)

I've been waiting to find the perfect kitty to name Napoleon Hill, and you went there with your first -- sorta! For some context, I have no fewer than 21 pages of kitties. And I promise I have never robbed a bank or stolen a credit card :-) I'm just someone who was lucky enough to get into a little Crypto early, watch it multiply, and then watch myself turn it all into pictures of cats on the internet.

And I don't regret a moment of it!

And I don't regret a moment of it!

Here is page 21 of my account: https://www.cryptokitties.co/profile/0xd75bb1e6ef53d0c65bcf53ecb19d8c64a7026c58/all/21

I bought Cucumber there for twice your starting budget when I first started, and pretty quickly learned that I needed to learn A LOT to continue to play this crazy new game.

Learning about gas is vital to this game, and also a key part of learning how to properly use Etherium. Some key points: NEVER change the GAS LIMIT. Almost AWLAYS change the GAS PRICE. You can use the website https://ethgasstation.info/ to find a safe gwei price to change the Gas Price to that will allow your transaction to still complete in a reasonable about of time. Paying the default of 20 gas right now means that your transaction will complete very quickly, but also will be more expensive than necessary. Currently you could safely pay 1/10 that in transaction fees by using 2 gwei as a gas price.

Also: this is a collectibles game. One truth about most "blind" collectibles is that it's always cheaper to just find some common already opened items than it is to buy a blind bag and open the common item yourself. Of course people buy the blind bags because they want to get lucky and open the super rare item that they could turn around and sell for 10-100x what they paid for it -- or else put it on their shelf and feel good about themselves. (I'm describing myself here.) So that's why you're able to buy kitties pretty cheap on the market, but it costs you about $10 to create a new one -- breeding kitties is like buying a blind bag, and the resulting kitty is very very likely going to be common and worth a fraction of what you paid for it. Unlike other blind bags though, this kitty could have special value to you: YOU MADE IT! From your own parent kitties! And it's unique and special in that if you hadn't made it exactly when you did from the parents you used, it would NEVER EXIST! But there's also one super important way in which this differs from buying a blind bag collectible in the real world. You get to control your odds. A little. But it's enough that there are some of us with twenty, thirty, or fifty pages of kitties and that's all self-funded through meticulously researched and planned out breeding of kitties. (I'm no longer describing myself here. To self fund more kitties I'd have to be willing to sell my kitties. I'm a hoarder. Oh well.)

So how do you manipulate your odds? The first thing to do is use a breeding calculator like kittycalc.co (disclaimer: when I ran out of Ether I helped make this tool because I'm obsessed with CryptoKitties and if you can't play then the next best thing is to help other people play, right?) where you can enter your parent IDs and see exactly what kind of kitty is possible:

https://kittycalc.co/?k1=526660&k2=516122

You can see that you had a chance to have the broken whiskers with the teeth (that's the mouth type called "saycheese" -- click the name to see a picture in KittyCalc), and that you actually "mewtated" that bloodred belly (called accent colour) with a less than 4% chance -- neither of your parents had a bloodred gene, but it turns out that if you breed kittencream and emeraldgreen together, they have a small chance of turning into bloodred, and through the magic of Gene Science one parent tried to pass on an emeraldgreen gene, one parent tried to pass on a kittencream gene, and then you got lucky again and bloodred came out! How do you know which traits can combine to create band new traits? KittyCalc.co has you covered again:

https://kittycalc.co/traits/

So does that mean that little glazed eyes is a super valuable kitty? Well, sadly, no, not really. I noticed that you had Kitty411.com open in a tab, and there are a ton of really good articles that help explain all this stuff, but I know it's a lot of reading. For some people, it's well worth taking the time to read as much as possible before spending your $30 or whatever budget you've allowed yourself to test the waters with. For others, they can afford to just YOLO it. But I definitely think you can have more fun, and your budget will go much farther, if you are able to take the time to read the articles that are out there. Or else just feel free to keep posting videos like this -- I loved it! -- and we can continue to provide tips and advice here in the comments!

I have a lot more I could say. Be careful when buying the cheapest kitty available because it's likely someone else is also considering buying it, and if their transaction is approved first then you're not going to get the kitty and you'll lose your transaction cost. But you won't be charged the price of the kitty -- just the cost of submitting the bid. The "max transaction cost" in metamask is just an estimate. You need at least that much ether to submit the transaction, but it is likely only going to cost you part of that. This depends on how much gas is used by the transaction, which is affected by how much processing power the etherium network needs to spend to process it. Some things like breeding a new kitty use a lot of gas. Some things like gifting a kitty use very little. Any excess fee beyond what the miner actually uses will be refunded (or really, it will never even leave your account). You could have turned off the "Fast" filter by clicking the word "Fast" again. Your best bet with a siring auction is to set it to go to 0.0 over a period of time. It's possible that you end up giving away a breed for free (actually it costs you ether just to list it, so you lose ether in the end) but if you're using the lowest possible gas price then the fee is relatively negligible and for the most part someone will come along and want to breed with your kitty for a small fee before it gets to 0. It looks like it's cheaper to use the siring market than it is to breed with your own kitties, but as you saw it actually still costs the fixed 0.008 ETH breeding fee (which essentially goes to the miner who runs the "expensive" gene science algorithm that generates your new kitty in a decentralized, fair way) in addition to the siring fee (which goes to the owner of the sire). What's likely to happen with your current kitties is that they will drop to the minimum sire cost you set and then stay there for the rest of time until you pay another small fee (nothing in this game is free, other than naming your kitty, such is the nature of the blockchain) to cancel the listing. If this all sounds awful ... well, I can see that. But really it's all part of a steep learning curve that leads to a point where it's possible to have a lot of fun collecting a lot of kitties. Are you going to get rich on the Asia launch? No. Some people will, because of thousands of hours they've spent learning everything and creating and testing strategies, and because of the massive bankrolls they have that allow them all kinds of flexibility in adapting to market changes. But for you and I, this is a game we can play to have fun and learn more about Etherium and the blockchain and the crazy world of crypto. I think this is the future. And it excites me!

Good luck! I hope you continue to play, and continue to make and share videos. And who knows? Maybe now that Glazed Eyes and his bloodred belly are internet famous, someone will seek him out and happily breed with him! In case anyone is interested, here's the link:

CatCreators , 19 February 2018 08:29

It's a game design. Gen:0 have more value because they can breed out genes and breed faster than the higher gens. I don't think this would make sense in the original game design and indirectly drop the value of gen:0

ChuckFresco , 19 February 2018 09:42

Nah, it would mess up the game economics. The more you make a gen 1 equivalent to a gen 34, the more it turns it into a two-tiered game of gen 0 vs everything else. There has to be perks to having your kitties closer to gen 0, to incentivise efficient breeding instead of brute forcing until you get what you want.

The other thing it prevents is the kitty population exploding way too quickly. They would have to rename the game to CryptoRabbits.

syd430 , 19 February 2018 10:06

The high gens have value exactly because of that - there just isn't so many of them. If a gen 90 could breed every minute, there would be a flood of gen 100 and there wouldn't be any return of value, the rarity would be gone. Obviously. This is like the most basic stuff of CK.

firecz , 19 February 2018 09:49

No thanks. Perfectly happy with CK exactly as it is.

DivineFlora , 21 February 2018 19:03

I'm happy about his visit. I once bought a gen 0 for .1 eth, sold it to him for 1.5 eth, then later bought a new gen 0 for .34 eth.

thank mr whale

DERPYBASTARD , 18 February 2018 15:12

I'm also happy that someone has spent the kind of money he has on the game.

It benefits those who hold Gen0's, as well as the devs themselves because higher sale prices of their Gen0's means more money to fund CryptoKitty development.

It has surely inconvenienced those who wanted to buy cheap Gen0's for breeding, which is unfortunate, but the large inflow of new money into the game is a huge plus as well.

elbak283 , 18 February 2018 16:03

Jrskow , 18 February 2018 21:34

I recently did this. The easy part is putting your Kitty on your hardware device; the hard part is getting it off.

Putting it on is as simple as getting the public Ethereum address of your Ledger and then "donating" your cat to that address from the UI on CryptoKitties.

Getting it off is trickier if you ever wanted to sell it. We'll be adding some features to https://www.etherbay.com to help support this soon...

efolio , 19 February 2018 00:28

Carlini8 , 18 February 2018 14:41

IMO as a poor player the only people who are worried about this are big whales who want to take all the stock of the fancies for themselves. They probably aren't telling you the limit so one of you 1%'s can't just hurry and breed them all and take the entire market for yourself because you're loaded.

Not knowing the limit was the risk you decided to take when creating it.

i_love_mnml , 18 February 2018 14:58

It would be great if CK could add a serial number to the limited fancies in the future. Announce in advance what the limit is.

88 of 1,000 for example.

Initially I thought it was going to be limited to 99 because “99 roses”.

If this is going to be a yearly thing I guess it may be limited to 2,018 cats. Which is 3x current Santaclaws count = fail. Santa was selling for 0.012 slightly above breeding cost at one point...

Disclosure: I own 23 of the 194 MisterPurrfect as of typing.

noob-breeder , 18 February 2018 15:14

What is that new trait, recessive in Gen:0s?

kryptofan , 18 February 2018 15:03

I'd also like to use this time to highlight how difficult it is to search for fancies in the market right now. I've been playing since December 4th and the only way for me to check the Negato/Momo market quickly is to click on one of my own. Not sure how I'd do it if I didn't own them.

KittyHats-Official , 18 February 2018 17:49

I spent all my money breeding Phuziqaats and now no one wants to buy them despite there being less of them than the newer exclusives... It depends how much people are willing to pay for them. Ended up selling one of my fancys for 0.02 ETH and now listing a Virgin Gen:6 Phuzi at 0.1 ETH but no one is interested. Its been up there for over 2 weeks.

As long as they keep bringing out exclusives, the exclusives will become less "exclusive". I'd sell up now at dirt cheap prices and get out.

Crptokitties 411 contains loads of valuable information and tools to get started https://cryptokitties411.com/

You can download a good extension here to see traits and rarity which you run as a script inside Tamper Monkey for chrome: https://github.com/HaJaeKyung/KittyExtension

Someone posted a question about getting starting with $20. Some of the answers they received might be helpful to you. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoKitties/comments/7xnkle/worth_starting_now/

As far as getting the ETH goes, you could make an account with Coinbase, for example, and buy ether with fiat. https://www.coinbase.com/

A quick google will show some guides on how to install Metamask, send ETH to your wallet and play. https://coinsutra.com/cryptokitties-cryptocollectibles/ https://mashable.com/2017/12/04/how-to-play-cryptokitties/#HcZygzbwFsqI

Have a good browse through /r/Cryptokitties as well if you haven't already. There have been plenty of people starting out like you with similar questions and you might some helpful tips there. The amount you put in is up to you. $20 - $30 will let you buy some cats and have a go at playing the game, ie breeding.

Great time to start, have fun and good luck ! :)))

Hi Newbie,

I am a Youtube Content Creator for this game and I have made some videos to help out with this game www.youtube.com/chuckfresco

1. I make videos for beginners on youtube this game this would be the video I would start with: https://youtu.be/FT3CKqBjAfc

2. ETH costs are relative but I would think about .2 ETH to buy some nice gen:1 adn breed them

3. Your ETH vendor depends where you live.

ChuckFresco , 19 February 2018 09:56

Best way to start is not to start at all unless you are willing to switch your money for a cat picture.

Sorry, but a Gen1 Violet is worth A LOT more than a Gen1 Nacho

Gen:1 Nacho's lowest are going for lowest 0.09 while the lowest Gen1 violet goes for 0.55 (fast) and I believe a snappy one was bought for 0.22 today (http://www.kittyexplorer.com/kitties/327762). Considering the R2R3 Violet recessive has also been discontinued Gen1 violets will continue to increase in price while nachocheez recessives are still being produced and will out supply the violet gen0 recessive cats.

From https://www.4byte.directory/

Function calls in the Ethereum Virtual Machine are specified by the first four bytes of data sent with a transaction. These 4-byte signatures are defined as the first four bytes of the Keccak hash (SHA3) of the canonical representation of the function signature. Since this is a one-way operation, it is not possible to derive the human readable representation of the function from the 4-byte signature. This database is meant to allow mapping those 4-byte signatures back to their human readable versions.

Out of these two cats I would suggest 87375 is more valuable, considering all factors such as Gen, Genes, Mewtations, Age etc.

CountChicoban , 18 February 2018 07:38

Try to look all the genes for each cat.

kryptofan , 17 February 2018 18:41

boom603 , 17 February 2018 14:52

Currently only 370 Gen 0 fast for sale. If this buyer was to purchase as many as in the last buying spree we could be out of Gen 0's soon.... Then the fight for the 1 Kitty every 15 minutes begins.

boom603 , 17 February 2018 15:30

Yep, same account from the last few days is buying up everything again. Just 10 hours ago you could easily buy a brand new gen 0 with several mewtations for 0.3 ETH.

They’re going to make a small fortune within the next couple of months when they flip them all.

syd430 , 17 February 2018 14:55

Down to 2

boom603 , 17 February 2018 15:13

Hello, I started with .8 Ethereum and have made around 10 eth with around 550 cats left to breed/sell.

I quit working full-time in september to dabble in the crypto markets and ride the US equity bull market without distractions. I'm also part of a team, Kittyhats that has built an application on top of CK that allows players to attach erc 20 accessory tokens(thinks hats, shoes, etc) to their Kitties!

I graduated from Yale, I'm 27, and host a stream for this game catered towards veterans and new players alike. Would love for people to hear my story, if possible.

You can email me at jeffrey.zirlin@aya.yale.edu if you'd like to set up a call!

KittyHats-Official , 17 February 2018 02:50

I got in this game really late, spent way to much eth on way to many shitcats and high transactions and now hold those shitcats as they are not worth anything. 10 out of 10 will definitely fomo again

cryptocoinmining , 17 February 2018 00:38

Hey Olga,

I read all the ost on the channel and just want to add a different perspective you are possibly missing. The notion of just "making money on CryptoKitties" (or any other digital token respectively) is inherently flawed, since it doesn´t take into account the value as a whole.

Only recently I decided to sell two of my older gen0 cats for 3 ETH, which is basically what I put into the game. I did this because I wanted to buy other tokens. In strongly believe that gen0 cats will sell for more than 1.5 ETH, I just needed liquidity.

So atm I didn´t "make money", but I still own cats at a current value of around 10-15 ETH.

Having said this, there are a lot of player who entered in December who believe to have "lost all their money", since they entered the game when gen0 costed around 6 ETH (I believe that was the spark price, I might be wrong). If you read older post from December you get the notion of anger of these people who believed that they were tricked into a Ponzi scheme. Being in crypto for quite some time, this happens all the time to newcomers who didn´t experience the hypecycles (i.e. Bitcoin running all to 20K USD and then down to 7K). If these people don´t panic sell, I believe, will have valuable Kitties in the future. At least more than they currently expect.

However, if all players would play just "to make money" out of CryptoKitties the prices would drop to 0 quickly. The game lives on players like me, who don´t seek to "cash out" even before the first quarter ended.

artiscience , 17 February 2018 09:32

Hello,

I am a full time gambler - since December I have made most of my money through Crypto Games moving away from the online gambling.

In the original December rush I made roughly 100 ETH, a lot of which I sold when ETH was about $1200ish.

Yesterday I sold about 40 Kittens for 1.5 ETH. CK is my most profitable game for sure.

jodiferous11 , 16 February 2018 22:28

Thanks for the tool Jodi! Love the mutation match-up sheet too :D I'm curious, how Low Gen is low, to you now? For example, given the difficulty (or near impossibility - I haven't calculated it) of a kitten inheriting a full set of diamond family jewels at say Gen 1 - 5, would Gen 20 - 30 still be considered low? I can't find the breeder profile now but I've seen at least that one person so far who appears to be chasing diamond sets and breeding cats with high jewel combos into the 70 - 150 Gen range. For me, atm the Gen would not really be an issue if they bred a full set of diamonds with mewtations as well, for example. Obviously if they did it at a lower Gen it would be a more impressive feat, but curious to see what other people's take is on this, and how low gen other jewel/mewtation chaser people are currently breeding at.

Gen0 #539024 that came out this morning has 'totesbasic' cattribute that has been said to be 'retired' followed by #539079 & #539189. So totesbasic does not appear to be gone yet.

CountChicoban , 17 February 2018 05:22

The position in the json file of the youngest hotrods maybe is the key:

last one now is kitti 521553, position 418. .... ex:

https://api.cryptokitties.co/kitties/521553

but it seems you have to look many of them to find the max number, if the enhanced attribute has a -1 is no-jewel, if the id is the same of the cat and a positive position number is a mewtation, a new bloodline. I am not sure, but maybe is the right way.

Try to find, the youngest with the mewtation for hotrod

You need 2 kitties to start breeding, you need eth to breed (.008 eth per breeding, specifically), you need eth to pay for transaction fees to sell... you can't play this game with nothing but gifted cats.

ashkestar , 16 February 2018 22:39

Add eth to metamask. Buy two kitties. Breed them. Watch videos and read faq. Too much info to spoon feed you and doubtful anyone will gift you a cat as it costs eth to send them.

CryptoMustang , 16 February 2018 22:10

rabah127 , 16 February 2018 01:41

Well it seems like you are breeding 3/4 of the same traits (2 grims, 2 orangesoda, 2 birman). Where is the hotrod?

EDIT: You might want to link the cats so people can help you out better.

weareallfungi , 16 February 2018 01:57

try dominant tiger and recessive hotrod.

McDuff_71 , 15 February 2018 15:34

Which would you value higher - Gilded Mewtation or Diamond Catribute? It seems like the Gilded Mewtation could be worth slightly more because it has that 1 in 10 element to it, but the idea of coming from the source is also pretty cool.

ddddddjim , 15 February 2018 16:32

I wonder if at some stage another feature will come out which shows the cat's lineage in relation to founder cats. ie: 99 different stamps relating to each founder, which also appear on directly related kitties, with the style of stamp changing to reflect generations. Children and grandchildren would receive a much higher stamp, the next 5 generations a high stamp, and so on. This is originally what I took the 'Family jewels' to mean before it came out.

CountChicoban , 16 February 2018 00:13

Loving the new feature too. I started to put emoji in my kittens titles to identify them by their jewels until someone brings out an add-on. This makes breeding some really cool high gen cats worthwhile too. I pm'd you also.

CountChicoban , 15 February 2018 16:10

is there a way to search for jewels? I'm not finding it.

McDuff_71 , 15 February 2018 16:25

Diamond mewtation is the first 10 kitties to have a new trait, yeah? So 10x the number of traits (ie, super dang rare). If I did the math right, 2480 total.

ashkestar , 16 February 2018 22:42

there are so many cats with these mewtations, doesn't seem like it will add so much to the value right meow

smtpbay , 17 February 2018 00:07

kakbald , 15 February 2018 19:14

Mewtattions are the new rarity indicator officially , the cat is out of the bag the hacker did monitor those genes in cat for about 1 month thats all the breeding of new traits exploded. Now we have a new ranking in this area. Family gems! Means if your cat has a diamond mewtation it is one of a kind for ever.

BL4C_KN1GHT , 15 February 2018 05:59

Yes. With $20 you absolutely can.

In my experience you can profit from siring fees on good kittens, in order to buy more kittens or do what you like with the ETH. So what you should do is:

1) Buy the best possible kitty you can for ~$19

Such a kitty would be something like: Low Gen, some jewels and rare traits, one that visually appeals to you. If it has lots of jewels it is probably more valuable even at a higher Gen. See: @jodiferous Jewel explanation: https://cryptokitties411.com/2018/02/14/how-do-family-jewels-work/

Since you'll be siring your kitty in order to make a profit to buy more kitties, it will help you see quicker returns if you pick one with a cooldown speed of fast/swift/snappy, as it may be sired multiple times a day. With a slower cooldown, you just have to be more patient before you can sire it again, but it also means you might be able to afford a cat with better traits and therefore it will be more desirable to people wanting to breed from it. It's a trade off and up to you.

2) Look at the marketplace to see what price similar kitties to yours are being sired out for. Decide on a price for yours which is at the low end of that range, ie 1st page in the marketplace for similar traits, so that people will see your kitty easily. I find 0.003 - 0.005 works best for nice kittens with a couple of rares traits and low gen, but it is dependent on what kind of kitty you find and how urgently you're hoping to sire it.

3) When gas price safe low is at or below 1 or 2, list your kitty in a siring auction: make sure you change the GWEI to 1 (or whatever the safe low is at the time) in the Metamask dialogue that appears. Safe low gas price can be found here https://ethgasstation.info/

That way, listing in the siring auction should cost you no more than ~$0.20

4) Relax and wait ! Take a nap... Browse some kittens. Eye up your next purchase.... ;)

5) When you receive the funds from your first successful siring auction, list your kitten to sire again. Repeat this process, until you have enough ETH to buy another kitty, and sire that too. Or maybe you'll want to breed your two together? Just always make sure you leave enough ETH to list in the siring auction.

This works in my experience, and you'll be able to grow your empire :) Good Luck!! Hope you find some good kittens.

CountChicoban , 15 February 2018 08:14

you can buy a few cats for $20. cryptokitties is good for learning about Ethereum, ETH, smart contracts, using a cryptowallet (metamask in this case) and using gas on the network. all good lessons to learn if you don't already know and well worth $20. plus you'll get a couple cats you can show off to friends. Count Chicoban gives a good sumary of how to actually make money with the $20 in kitties though.

ddddddjim , 15 February 2018 08:57

Right now only Gen 0 kitties are going up like crazy. Nobody knows if or when the price will go down again.

$20 is probably not enough. You can buy kitties, but obviously no rare ones and breeding costs about $7 so you can guess how much you can do with $20.

Earning ether is very hard with a low investment, especially now that nobody pays for siring anymore.

He bought more than 400 kitties Gen0 at one day.

feb 15/ 5:30 EST. youngest: 2.2442 / cheapest: 1.0053 // 1 eth = 913 usd

kryptofan , 15 February 2018 13:32

Yeah, it's up to 0.3273 eth (for cheapest gen-0 virgin) right now, when I remember it was dipping below 0.08 eth a week or so ago.

spigolt , 14 February 2018 06:39

what about gen1? It seems they remain about 0.02 and 0.03 eth, no change during the same period of time. So now gen0s are the real game.

kryptofan , 14 February 2018 12:20

right now: youngest gen0 = 0.5542 eth. cheapest = 0.2959 eth

I am also having this problem and it's been happening all day. I've been trying to sell my own kitties and breed one, but it tells me its an invalid transaction, or it does nothing all together.

warggg , 13 February 2018 23:28

it is kinda rare. mostly because the wuvme trait is fairly new. it looks like that trait will be fairly popular. it also has cerulian which isn't a very common color. that said, there is nothing particularly special or rare about it that would make it worth more than other cats with the same traits. it is just a normal cat with a couple cool traits. i'm no expert, but that's my take.

ddddddjim , 14 February 2018 00:01

being gen5 makes it less rare as others can also work from gen1 cats to make a similar cat. However, if that was gen2 it would be a tough cat to duplicate. And if it was gen1, really really tough cat to duplicate and would be extremely rare.

3) Gifting five dollar kitties to afk people who love crypto, but are too afraid to start somewhere - best feeling ever!~

tabsa , 13 February 2018 11:42

I have an ETH wallet on my phone. When I'm visiting friends, I like giving out $10 of ETH to people who've never used it before & have cryptokitties be their first ETH experience. Fun way to introduce ETH transactions, gas price/gas limit/ethgasstation.info/stuck transactions/etc.

I've personally put about 1ETH into this game. I mostly just check the gen0 market every few weeks. If the prices seem lower than usual, I might buy one. (I have 3 gen0s atm) I'm planning on reselling most of them closer to/after November once the last gen0 comes out.

I think a lot of people had their intro to ETH via cryptokitties. And a lot of these people will value their cryptokitties well into the future. Some who later become ether-rich will likely want a gen0 to remember how they started and there's a very finite supply of them.. We'll see whether or not I come out ahead here but idgaf because I've learned a lot and had a lot of fun!

bohendo , 13 February 2018 21:49

The new tier-2 trait has been discovered, and it's the same mouth the pink kitty on the CryptoKitties.co homepage has. I'm calling it "jawdrop" until it has an official name. Nobody has yet successfully mutated that with cheeky to discover the tier-3 as far as I can tell! Who will be the first?

rabah127 , 12 February 2018 22:51

Some people are breeding kitties together in hopes of getting a rare cat or a fancy cat, but get a cat that isn't valuable instead. They sell it off at a loss to get some of the ETH back. When they do breed a fancy cat, it will repay their losses.

madogvelkor , 12 February 2018 23:55

If all cat were sold >0.008 ETH then there will be no risk playing the game and 100% of people would be profitable. Fortunatelly this is not the case and when there is a 25% chance to have a cat worth a lot, there is also a 25% chance to have a cat worth minimum price.

No risk no gain, IMHO the minimum price will always be <0.008 ETH unless there is so many demand that offer can't sustain it

WeAllMagic , 12 February 2018 18:21

Don't want to say the amount, but definitely more that people who already posted. While my ETH is wrapped up in kitties, I have rare kitties and firmly believe I could sell my account for easily 100% profit of my total investment. I also know several larger players who would consider buying my account as well.

arthur5052018 , 12 February 2018 10:44

Now you realize you probably won’t be able to sell it for more than the cost to breed. Hopefully the market for fancies will improve but once the combination of traits is discovered it is pretty easy to create the fancy if you use the tools in the sidebar.

spareamatch , 13 February 2018 19:15

Hold it through this week at least. It’s not worth much right now, but CK is launching in China soon. No one knows how that will affect the fancy market, but if there’s a gold rush there like there was here, a lot of stuff may go up in value.

Hi, I attempted to "Adjust Sprite Price [Or List For Sale]" and got this error in the metamask popup:

"Transaction Error. Exception thrown in contract code. Gas limit set dangerously high. Approving this transaction is likely to fail."

I know about gas limit, but didn't want to adjust it due to the exception error, so I cancelled transaction. Gas was something like 750k

Using metamask firefox extension.

Cheers.

PS, good luck, good idea!

Bibo7 , 10 February 2018 21:53

Seems like only really expensive ones are buyable

EuSouAssimReddit , 10 February 2018 21:54

if you click on the button to buy a cat and it doesn't work, that means someone else has purchased it already but the database hasn't removed it from the cats available for sale. this is not unusual if you are sorting by cheapest and are trying to buy the least expensive cat. keep trying, you will find one you like at a good price.

ddddddjim , 11 February 2018 02:41

Is nothing at all happening when you press the button?

I've noticed in the last couple of days that metamask has gone glitchy on CK (in my browser anyway). Press the buy button a few times. I've found pressing it 5 or 6 times over a minute or so will eventually bring up metamask. (You won't be paying multiple times! You confirm the purchase in the metamask popup).

(I'm using Firefox extension).

If someone has beat you to it but it's still on the marketplace, there's usually a message along the lines of "are you sure you want to proceed, you may not receive the kitty you're purchasing".

kittytzki , 09 February 2018 18:08

Here is my opinion since I've been playing for two month :

Price have decreased all along December until it reached a bottom in the beginning of January.

Since then is has stabilized and consolidated :

• Major problem is being addressed (i.e scalabilty of ETH transaction)
• Game has proven it is alive : frequent new traits, new features, marketing, ...
• Strong community is being created : a lot of people are creating content : stream, web site, browser addin, ...

Recently we can feel that price is increasing : when you check the market there is hardly 30 cat <0.004 ETH while few weeks ago there was hundreds of 0.003 cats.

Reasons ?

• Deployment of the game in China
• New features : familiy fewels, new fancy cats, ...
• Strong community growing litlle by little

So to conclude it is time to FOMO and especially FOMOMO

bibdieu , 09 February 2018 19:07

Demand exceeded the supply during the first few weeks so there was a gold rush which brought even more players into the game. Now there are many more kitties and much fewer players. Prices will continue to fall until demand exceeds supply. Some people theorize than a China rollout will cause this, but it's doubtful due to months of hoarding. As soon as prices rise people will begin cashing out. Theoretically once Gen 0s stop being born we might see a rise in value for very low-gen kitties, but I anticipate better versions of collectible token games will enter the market before Cryptokitties makes a turnaround.

mpbh , 09 February 2018 18:58

The game makes a lot more sense now. Like you, I got in during the gold rush when none of us knew what to do. I had a couple shitty, too-high gen cats at the end of it that weren’t worth anything (though being that they have decent traits and are sub 25,000, I still hope they may someday have value).

Now, you can buy cats sensibly and have some expectation of getting a return. Learn what traits sell, which ones mutate into rarer traits, and so on. Buy only low-gen kitties. There are strategies aside from ‘everyone wants cats just buy whatever!’

Low gas prices help a ton - yes, some of my kitties go for less than .008 eth, but as long as some go for more, I’m not taking a loss like I would have at 20+ gas price.

ashkestar , 09 February 2018 22:05

Actually those Kittyes who we bought right now at the beginning of this game will be the most expensive in the game in future if you keep the Kitty exactly like he is right now since there will never be something like them. There will be generations after generations but never again those generations and traits , the kittyes will have some mutations and to have a pure kitty like our kittyes we bought now will be to hard for they to have . So if you think smart you can think in time that any kitty from the beginning of this game will be more than 2-3 ETH each or may be more high and high price ( can be 10-100 ETH ) since they will seeking something to Breed/Sire with the first Kittyes . PS. The game is HYPE now ( is the beginning) i will keep mine exactly like they are. Enjoy! Give to Corleone a Like :) https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/498537

And if you use lower gas the transaction costs should never be more than like 29-60 cents

Slabmason710 , 09 February 2018 17:39

.008 to breed and then the fee your looking at would be the Sire fee which is ontop of the minimum breeding fee

Slabmason710 , 09 February 2018 17:39

I am curious as to how this works. Is buying Eth legal in China? If not, how do they play Cryptokitties?

Will the Chinese game be the same game we're playing? Or is it a separate entity due to the restrictions on virtual currency in China?

I am very excited about these new developments, but it would be great to understand how it will be implemented.

dont_hate_scienceguy , 08 February 2018 22:54

stone1519 , 08 February 2018 00:31

that's how the blockchain works. This is unlike any normal game, it is on the blockchain so all transactions need to be paid for.

weareallfungi , 08 February 2018 00:38

There is a breeding fee of 0.008 that you have to pay anytime you breed kitties, whether your own or a sire.

jodiferous11 , 08 February 2018 00:59

Yeah the game CK is not charging you it is the transaction fees from the Ethereum network which is completely separate entity

probably just lag on the website. How long has it been?

weareallfungi , 08 February 2018 00:26

When I look up the cat, in the place where it normally displays owner, it says, "sire contract processing". I'd just give it some time. It will likely sort itself out and return to you.

I think there are some updates that are being rolled out on the website right now. Weird stuff might happen for a bit and there might be a long lag, but things usually end up where they're supposed to.

jodiferous11 , 08 February 2018 00:26

Great news I just got my Kitty back. Wierd situation though.

Phillips_inc , 08 February 2018 00:31

That happens to me all the time, but it usually only lags for a minute or so. When you start an auction, you're actually transferring ownership of your kitty to the auction contract, and when you cancel the auction it transfers back to you. The CryptoKitties site has to keep track of this on the blockchain so it knows which kitties are actually "yours" even if they're in the auction contracts. It seems like sometimes their website database lags behind the blockchain a little bit and takes some time to catch up with these transfers.

It's the same thing that happens when one of your kitties is technically ready to breed (cooldown has run out and giveBirth has already been called on the contract if your kitty was pregnant) but still shows as "Resting" or "Bun in the oven" on the site for a few minutes.

agent42 , 08 February 2018 00:14

He should be able to use myetherwallet to call the gift kitty function outside of the CryptoKitties website itself to send the cats to a metamask wallet

MyTribeCalledQuest , 08 February 2018 00:47

Tell him to check the contracts/tokens

SpellsThatWrong , 08 February 2018 05:57

You can see whether the kitties are "associated" (for lack of a better term) with your friend's account by using the following site:

• http://catfol.io/

Here's an example URL that shows the cats "owned" by my Ethereum account that's stored in TrustWallet on my phone:

• http://catfol.io/index.html?owner=0x4f385f1ad28cd476b1601dd467fb6df9880cd765

See how you just change the owner string?

I wonder the same thing ( How can I quickly find out the value of a cat ? ) but not historical data . I want to know if there is something to calculate the actual price since one kitty can be sold with 0.16454286017013888900 ETH or 0.00500000000000000000 ETH Example : http://www.kittyexplorer.com/kitties/72463

peucoz , 07 February 2018 20:23

Phillips_inc , 07 February 2018 15:53

Thanks for the 411 shout-out! I'll write a how-to for the trait chart today for those who missed poopiecat's and jihoz's explanation.

Here's how I know where the new traits belong in the trait chart: Each kitty is created with a genome that maps to traits in a specific way. When "tiger" came out yesterday, I used my Gene Reader to identify what kai code was mapped to the "tiger". (The Gene Reader uses an API call directly to the smart contract rather than using kittydex. The spreadsheet converts the genetic code into kai.) So, basically, I put in the Kitty ID of a tiger cat and it told me the pattern gene was a "2". So then I went into the trait chart, found the intersection of pattern and 2, and typed in "tiger".

I then could instantly tell that there was no current trait that mutates with tiger.

Here's another way you can use this information. Sometimes, Gen 0's are released with new recessive genes. No one can see the gene's visible cattribute, BUT you can immediately tell if it has a mutation partner. For example, let's say you found a Gen 0 with recessive gene "3" for body color. No one knows what that body color will be once it becomes a dominant gene, but you can immediately start breeding it with "orangesoda" because you know it'll have a small chance of mutating with that. If it does, you'd be the first with the body color mutation "i".

Cheers! Jodiferous

xxdreamkittenxx , 08 February 2018 20:12

tldrtldrtldr , 07 February 2018 00:36

A similar feature is planned as part of the "watch list" that is in the works.

DERPYBASTARD , 07 February 2018 01:12

Agreed. This would be a nice feature. I too have wanted it. But if I understand how this works, I see why this would be hard to do.

You would have to lock up your ETH to make the buy so that it would be guaranteed available in the event your bid went through. There also may be additional ETH required to check the price once it is met. And this doesn't even address the fact that if you did it that way (what seems to be the cheapest way) your cat could have been long sold by then.

And I think if you continually check the price, that takes gas and could make things very expensive.

I'd be interested in hearing an official explanation though - for those of us who love to know how this all works.

I have wondered if a compromise solution might work. Price alerts. This could happen all on the cryptokitties backend (not on the blockchain). Essentially, I set an alert for a cat to notify me if a price reaches a certain point. Then, I could go make the buy.

Of course, now that I say that, I wonder if you couldn't do a hybrid solution where the website backend does the price checking and executes the contract bid if the conditions are met. You would still need to lock up the ETH for the sale though.

jodiferous11 , 06 February 2018 02:19

New fancys ant low numbers under 5000. Keep value

niels056 , 05 February 2018 21:06

lower gens tbh. Looks too

_SHWEPP_ , 05 February 2018 22:27

Kitty combinations only matter if they lead to a fancy or if they particularly stand out because they obviously go well together aestetically. Having the only orangesoda royalblue thicccbrowz mainecoon spangled in the game doesn’t make it at all valuable. But grats on the mainecoon (that’s probably what will determine the value of your kitty).

Generation is super important when talking anout rarity because some traits and trait combos only ever have a low percent change to appear at certain generations. Try to find one of those trait charts that float around that tells you what tier mutation each trait is and go for traits at the lowest possible generation for those traits.

Good luck, have fun, don’t worry too much about rarity now IMO. Value is ephemeral: see what a kitty is worth on the market today and either sell it for that price or choose to collect it.

The way this game works, anything rare today might be bred 100 times over the next year and be as common as anything else. Things that aren’t subject to this include “first of their kind” kitties, “misprint” kitties where a trait appearance was changed quickly (old “pouty” doesn't count though maybe in 10 years it will be considered rare), and unique special ID numbers.

Just look at the market. What are similar kitties going for? If you don't know how to search the market, you should probably not be trying to make money with investments.

twinklehood , 04 February 2018 04:48

I wouldn't panic just yet. CryptoKitties is expanding into new countries soon which will hopefully increase demand. Your kitty may decrease in value for a few weeks and then increase to more than what you paid for it. Maybe. No one really knows.

You can try putting it on the market right now and see what happens, but don't get too scared if no one bites. This market will likely fluctuate a lot in the next few months.

In the meantime, learn as much as you can about these kitties so you can make informed decisions. Check out Kitty411 for resources and info. When in doubt, love and enjoy the kitties you own and never invest more than you're willing to lose. :)

jodiferous11 , 04 February 2018 07:40

A new GEN 0 now will costs you 0.082 so selling now you'll take a loss. In my opinion GEN 0's are for the long game.

I love what you guys are doing. The pie chart of trait possibilities is a super-solid design and infographic element. I also think this calculator does a really good job of helping users know what different traits mean by visually representing them.

My 2 cents (if it helps):

1. It would be great to see the cat's pictures when you put in the catID like on https://cattributes.org/. I can't ever remember which numbers are which so it gets confusing.

2. A 'switch' button for sire and matron, since the percentages can work out differently depending on which cat is the sire.

3. I really like the ability to add another pair on https://cattributes.org/. It is great for trying out different combos and checking them out at a glance.

4. It would be nice to compact the design. I like being able to see it all at a glance and not have to scroll back and forth.

With sire you don’t pay anything but transaction fee, with breeding you pay additional 0.008 with no guarantee you can sell the baby for at least 0.008

so breeding for rare kitties might be more profitable for a long run, but siring doesn’t require a lot of investment

NARW_Bombard , 03 February 2018 01:59

If you have patience and manage your gas price and minimum price you're willing to accept for siring, I think that's less risky. But depending on how you like to play and how much risk you're willing to take, maybe also less fun.

If you're breeding, let's just assume you're breeding two of your own kitties here just so we don't have to deal with siring fees. You're paying gas to create the transaction, let's assume you manage your gas costs and can get this transaction mined for 25 cents. You're also paying an autobirth fee that goes to whoever calls giveBirth on your kitty when your cooldown runs out, currently that's 0.008, let's call it 8 dollars just for the sake of keeping it simple. At this point you've spent at least $8.25 to breed two of your own kitties, with a small chance (if you're an advanced user running some kind of autobirth daemon) of recovering about $8 of it. If you know what you're doing (or just get lucky) there's a chance you could get a really valuable kitty for such a small investment, but there's also a chance you end up with a kitty worth a dollar or less.

Not the first -- the first couple Sapphires had a topaz background for a little while as well and then they were retroactively fixed. It's only the kitty graphics themselves (and the Bio, I imagine) that get locked in - the background color (and shadow) are just front end flavor.

The price gets determined when the transaction goes through. Using your example, the contract would send back 0.05 ether to your address upon purchase.

/// @dev Computes the price and transfers winnings. /// Does NOT transfer ownership of token. function _bid(uint256 _tokenId, uint256 _bidAmount)     internal     returns (uint256) {     // Get a reference to the auction struct     Auction storage auction = tokenIdToAuction[_tokenId];      // Explicitly check that this auction is currently live.     // (Because of how Ethereum mappings work, we can't just count     // on the lookup above failing. An invalid _tokenId will just     // return an auction object that is all zeros.)     require(_isOnAuction(auction));      // Check that the bid is greater than or equal to the current price     uint256 price = _currentPrice(auction);     require(_bidAmount >= price);      // Grab a reference to the seller before the auction struct     // gets deleted.     address seller = auction.seller;      // The bid is good! Remove the auction before sending the fees     // to the sender so we can't have a reentrancy attack.     _removeAuction(_tokenId);      // Transfer proceeds to seller (if there are any!)     if (price > 0) {         // Calculate the auctioneer's cut.         // (NOTE: _computeCut() is guaranteed to return a         // value <= price, so this subtraction can't go negative.)         uint256 auctioneerCut = _computeCut(price);         uint256 sellerProceeds = price - auctioneerCut;          // NOTE: Doing a transfer() in the middle of a complex         // method like this is generally discouraged because of         // reentrancy attacks and DoS attacks if the seller is         // a contract with an invalid fallback function. We explicitly         // guard against reentrancy attacks by removing the auction         // before calling transfer(), and the only thing the seller         // can DoS is the sale of their own asset! (And if it's an         // accident, they can call cancelAuction(). )         seller.transfer(sellerProceeds);     }      // Calculate any excess funds included with the bid. If the excess     // is anything worth worrying about, transfer it back to bidder.     // NOTE: We checked above that the bid amount is greater than or     // equal to the price so this cannot underflow.     uint256 bidExcess = _bidAmount - price;      // Return the funds. Similar to the previous transfer, this is     // not susceptible to a re-entry attack because the auction is     // removed before any transfers occur.     msg.sender.transfer(bidExcess);      // Tell the world!

PM-GOOGLE-PLAY-CODES , 01 February 2018 23:29

If you're paying more than 50 cents to list an auction on CryptoKitties, you're doing it wrong. Wait until there's less network congestion and get your transaction confirmed with 1 gwei gas prices in a few minutes to an hour. Just yesterday I had a transaction confirm with a gas price as low as 42 wei (it was just a test and it took 10 hours, I wouldn't try it again, but it cost me less than a thousandth of a cent in fees).

stevenh512 , 01 February 2018 23:57

Depends on the tx fees. Check the eth gas station link to determine costs to list for siring / selling. Breeding fees are currently set at .008 I believe (the fee is determined by the Axiom Zen Multi Level Marketing Masters and can be changed at their discretion.

Currently I'd say save your eth on breeding as the only ones profiting from those breeding are the ones who have knowledge of how genes work / mutations / probability of passing traits on.

You also have the people who are raking in the eth from buying up the gen 0s with rare traits, breeding new -artificially rare- genes, simply because they were just introduced and selling off anything over gen 2 with those "rare" traits to naive users thinking they are getting rare cats.

Some of the cats listed people are just trying to get rid of in hopes of breaking even on the game, while others are just so undesirable they don't care about the loss.

There are lots of factors that are in play so if you're looking to profit educate yourself or prepare to lose.

I have a royalblue manx, and I have a henna. I could breed them, there are no Royalblue-henna-manx's, but that doesn't mean someone is going to buy it...

If it looks great someone will probably pay more

Jensen2185 , 01 February 2018 07:27

Realistically, rarity is a combination of generation number and tier of the trait (see the handy chart here - https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoKitties/comments/7uefvk/all_known_body_traits_kittycalcco/ ) - The farther right a trait is, the more rare it will be, particularly at lower generations. In some cases it won't even be possible at the lowest generations. But value and rarity are not the same thing at all. A good looking kitty is worth more. A super rare trait like babypuke might not be valuable at all because ... babypuke. Rarity is just one part of value. Having unique combinations is really only valuable when you happen to stumble upon a previously undiscovered Fancy kitty. Having the world's only Alien Hintomint Beard Savannah ... well, nobody will really care unless that just happens to be a really stunning looking breed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so it is with value as well. But rarity? There are so many traits that even with nearly 500,000 kitties most every kitty can be considered rare in some way. Which means none of them really are, unless it's for solid reasons that involve scarcity and genetics (and unique combinations of traits at higher generations involves neither of those beyond a superficial level).

Overwatch_Falcon , 01 February 2018 10:37

Jensen2185 , 31 January 2018 23:15

We don't know if a specific trait has been discontinued, there are 32 possibilities for a gen, so maybe in the future a new wave of 'old' traits could be in gen0's again

who knows?

kryptofan , 31 January 2018 23:46

Also, I tried to tell a newer player that Gen10+ Ganado kitties aren't worth much. They sent me a screenshot from a breeding calculator showing 4 stars for Ganado.

You have to understand these calculator sites use the current supply to estimate value/rarity. If something is brand new, it seems like it is very rare. But it doesn't last long.

Jensen2185 , 31 January 2018 23:56

Unless I'm seeing things, I believe the traits are discontinued once a certain number of mutations occur. If you pay close attention to the unknown categories in the dex you'll start to notice a pattern. For example, one category seems to mirror mouth and another seems like the body types. Since these genes also mutate, potentially due to being released by the CK team, it looks like the associated Kai are then released into the general population as dominate or recessive traits. What do you think?

matteblackale , 01 February 2018 03:23

The breeding volume was much higher in the beginning then it is now.....

matteblackale , 01 February 2018 03:24

How are the traits 'discontinued' if you could still get them via breeding? I know more gen 0 cats w/these particular traits will not be released, but it's not as if someone couldn't breed more jaguar cats if they had the eth and the inclination. I don't think newbs should just go after gen - new traits either, because you can't tell how 'rare' a new trait actually is, but I don't think you should consider any trait to be discontinued because more cats with those traits can still be bred.

Well gen:0 were at 2 eth during the golden age, after that prices are going down and down. This week cheapest gen0 is about 0.050 eth.

Maybe in 1 month the value will be 0.01 eth, so just wait 2 or 3 weeks

Hi there!

The genetic algorithm is essentially completely discovered by the community thus far.

The only thing the devs have that we don't is the release schedule for traits.

However, regardless of that, the devs signed contracts that disallow them from playing the game or owning kitties, for the reasons above.

Hope that helps!

-Foxxy

Kitttyverse , 31 January 2018 12:01

Because we know the algorithm.

I'm not sure if profit on people who don't spend a minute researching before investing money would be unfair, though.

Enter some kitty giveaways to get some kitties and then ... there is no step 2. You can't do anything in the game right now without some ETH to spend. If you do have a little bit of ETH then start reading everything at https://cryptokitties411.com so you learn what is what and what mistakes to avoid and how to stretch out your ETH. Good luck! It may not be cheap, but it is REALLY fun!

bstro1 , 31 January 2018 01:59

Here's a copypaste from a comment I wrote about the money flow:

• The gen 0 kitties are created by a smart contract owned by the creators of the game. The profile that holds these kitties is called "Kitty Clock". Any Ether used to purchase kitties from this clock goes to the developers.
  
• There is also a similar account called "CK COO" which owned the first 100 cats, called the Founder cats. Any purchases from this account also went to the developers.
• There is a 3.75% commission on every transaction that goes through the CryptoKitty smart contract. This commission also goes to the developers.

And things not for the developers:

• The flat breeding fee (currently 0.008 ether) goes towards the people who call the giveBirth function when a matron is ready to give birth. This system was created so people can get rewarded for helping the blockchain and CryptoKitties.
• Transaction fees used to process your transactions go to the Ethereum miners.

DERPYBASTARD , 31 January 2018 02:03

Every 15 minutes someone pays a couple hundred for new gen 0 kitties. All of that cash flow minus expenses I would bet they're doing great. It was built by 12 people. Not to mention someone paid 117k for the first cat

strawhats , 31 January 2018 02:04

I believe any exchange between users has a 3.75% commission fee

fgoldberg1 , 31 January 2018 21:10

niels056 , 30 January 2018 21:12

yes the game is new the user base is growing as the game gets more and more popular the low series will go up in Price and value 1 to 100 very valuable 100 to 500 valuable
1000 to 2000 also valuable 2000 to 10000 will also gain value

franckgant , 30 January 2018 23:25

Also.. think about this.. low gen kitties are selling for very low prices.. Ive often seen GEN:1's for under .01 . But as the year moves on I think people are going to start to realize that the GEN:0's will stop being created near the end of this year.. and along with them no more new gen:1's... gen:2's... etc.. I think it will be common after that for people to start working with gen:30.. gen:50.. maybe gen:100's and these low gens will be very very rare.

Start slow and learn to use cryptokittydex.com to understand the kitty DNA. There are other sites that give you an estimate of what the possible babies will be from two kitties, but it makes a big difference if you can read and understand the DNA yourself.

Find a trait you like, learn what traits need to be combined to create it, look for low generation kitties that can be used to make that trait. Start with something simple, try to create a Gen4 Onyx.

Buying Gen0's is a great investment when they are cheap (less than 0.08) and even when they reach the slowest level you can still breed them once per week.

Jensen2185 , 29 January 2018 21:59

balresch , 29 January 2018 19:42

Siblings cannot breed together, and children cannot breed with their parents. Your transaction failed because you tried breeding two siblings together. Keep it in mind in the future :)

PS the 0.008 wasn't taken off your balance if the transaction failed. Only the transaction fee is taken off. Actual Tx Cost/Fee: 0.000155225 Ether ($0.18)

DERPYBASTARD , 29 January 2018 20:08

adamogallomusic , 30 January 2018 08:09

just looked again to see if theres any point... nope... most kitties sell for like $5 maybe... if they do sell...

and the breeding fee is $8???!?!!!? what the heck is the point then? lol

I had high hopes for this game but its a bummer i cant even get half of my eth back from this lol oops.. lesson learned.

Interesting! So you've bred a lot of aliens.

I've been interested in the crypto kitties, but don't really partake as it seems a pretty expensive game.

Of all the aliens that you breed, are you able to sell them off? If so what are the returns as opposed to breeding fees?

Or are you sitting on all those cats for investment?

TrashIsland_DrMoreau , 29 January 2018 11:01

This is great, thank you

codenutz , 29 January 2018 16:51

Amazing man. This was illuminating.

If kittydex is to be believed you own 14% of all PhuZiqaats (aliens) in existence (55 of 384) and I am thinking that percentage is actually likely rise if you continue your breeding enterprise. I could imagine you owning such a significant portion of the PZ population that you could actually drive the market price up. Whatever you decide to do you are definitely blazing a trail for other fancy breeders. Thanks for sharing

(I actually stumbled on your profile yesterday and this post today totally separately. I was baffled by your army of aliens yesterday and now I get it)

I guess there are people still making profit, but one probably needs a pretty steep investment to get going. Also, those people are not likely to share their strategy with you and this sub (I am not one of them).

balresch , 29 January 2018 15:04

To be profitable you need to breed and be lucky ^{^}

bibdieu , 29 January 2018 19:34

cryptokitties is a new game.Blockchain a new tech right now the prices are still cheap but cryptokitties is launching in china in a few weeks some people are buying kitties with the number 8 a lucky number in china.If you want to invest you can buy gen 8 kitties they are still very cheap and if the game is a hit in china prices might go up in value

franckgant , 29 January 2018 20:23

When you become a pro, you can generally break even. If you get extremely lucky, discover a new fancy cat, you could potentially make some money. If you buy Gen0 kitties and they have traits that get discontinued in a couple months, you could potentially sell them for a profit also.

If you are new and start buying high-gen stuff that looks cool or traits that are brand new you'll probably lose money unfortunately

The best way to get new players is to reduce the barriers to entry. They can't do much about the natural barriers to using Ethereum but they can make them easier to buy (especially in "bulk" or at least pairs) and make really cheap entry-level kitties.

They could also create some sort of free minigame that uses the kitties and isn't used to generate sellable/profitable things. Maybe a tamagotchi game without death?

extracat , 28 January 2018 20:11

Yeah, Axiom Zen really did an amazing job going from idea to KITTIES! in just a couple of months, and then managing to handle the world's largest explosion of unexpected fleeting popularity without losing their heads. I'm super excited about the new features that are coming, and I feel like we're getting a great stream of new players every day. Sure we're not where the game was at its peak, but most of those were just trying to make a quick buck anyway and frankly the game doesn't need them. So kudos to the devs! And to everyone who has stuck around and enjoyed the game for what it's supposed to be.

koolkidkorey , 28 January 2018 21:03

It's a great question and everyone new should be asking this. You can check the gas price trends here https://ethgasstation.info/

So currently (as of this writing) 4Gwei will confirm in < 1m and 1Gwei in < 5 minutes. I would use a value in this range depending on case

You can also look at Pending Transactions at https://etherscan.io/txsPending. To further finetune this number

The light blue gene pairs can mutate into the darker blue genes (Tier 2). Then darkest blue genes (Tier 3, not unlocked yet).

Generally T2 genes and gene combos are rarer than T1 genes.

For example “gen:0 jaguar” is rare due to how dev releases them (only 99 of them).

So low generation Henna is rare (requires a mutation of Jaguar + Amur) . And therefore low generation Hotrod is even rarer (requires a mutation of Henna + Tigerpunk).

Then you also have fancy cats, which require a combo of 2-4 specific genes to make. https://cryptokittydex.com/fancies

Happy breeding :)

noob-breeder , 29 January 2018 04:59

I only breed traits required for fancy, but definitely check the current market price before you start.

Sometimes a high gen fancy could cost less than 2 kitties + the 0.008 eth breeding cost + fees. (Eg the cheapest santaclaws is below 0.02)

My personal aim is to breed a pure-bred pair for each fancy types, so that I have a 100% chance to produce the next one (albeit weekly).

Eg, see the children of this cat: https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/434698

Agree. There are many people I would like to buy a cat from, but there is no way to contact them.

artiscience , 28 January 2018 13:55

Or "Sticky Wicket"? "CozyKitty"? "Petri Louw"?

jodiferous11 , 28 January 2018 01:11

What kind of cats/genes are you looking for ?

There is a flat fee for any breeding action done by you (read: any action that leads to one of your cats getting a baby). This fee is currently 0.008 ether. This gets included when you breed two of your own cats together or when you use someone's sire.

Nice buy!

poopiecryptocats , 27 January 2018 23:20

Do you have any good starter cats you recommend for me? Im trying to get started in the game but idk what cat is worth to buy first.

david55721 , 27 January 2018 19:52

chanfle , 27 January 2018 21:18

Did that unfortunately. Can I get my money back? Wasted $100 on them damn things

kingp43x , 27 January 2018 23:00

Trust me, she loves cats but was more mad about me spending money on "a picture of a cat."

OptimisticOnanist , 29 January 2018 01:07

WIMelissa , 28 January 2018 00:53

It started almost a hr late. But it did start. I don't know where they lag came from. But I hope it's fixed if there is a problem. It was a very expensive sire & time is everything in this game sometimes.

WIMelissa , 28 January 2018 01:21

david55721 , 27 January 2018 19:39

I guess go for a fancy cat, Draculas are nice and I also like to stock up on smaller cats that look kinda cool lol.

Very cool, i was litterally just thinking about a blog for ck that like a weekly round up of traits and recessives

In my opinion it will not sell at that price

OSU_OSU , 27 January 2018 17:28

Thanks for the feedback! I like the concept of this, but it's proving to be more difficult than I anticipated.

StoicNucks , 27 January 2018 18:35

jodiferous11 , 26 January 2018 20:39

Some cattributes contain errors when they are discovered. The developers want to fix these errors, but they don't want to change the appearance of the cats that already have the error. So the misprints stay as they are, but all future cats with the changed cattribute will look different.

DERPYBASTARD , 27 January 2018 00:16

am I gonna be rich if I have gen1 original serpent original pouty (not onyx though:( ) ?

NARW_Bombard , 26 January 2018 20:45

btw, thanks for the description of the changes, wouldn't notice white whiskers : D

NARW_Bombard , 26 January 2018 20:47

it,s cool that the devs changed the art work you get the vintage versions of the kitties and the new versions great idea

Yeah, you've got to use kittycalc.co or kitty.appx.hk. The machine learning estimator doesn't make any sense when we have accurate calculators now.

let people give any names and any prices to there kitties it,s part of the fun of the game anyway prices are so low it,s not a problem let,s wait for the launch in china prices and players could increase to the next level

franckgant , 27 January 2018 01:05

" don't spend more than 0.12 on a Gen0"

but the cheapest is around .7 ..

CryptoKittehs , 26 January 2018 23:49

You're assuming the person you used as an example got screwed over.

Maybe they considered it money well spent on the cutest picture of a kitty they've ever seen?

Or bought eth when it was 10c a coin?

Who knows everyone's motivations for playing this game?

And that gen:0 at 0.0688 is catatonic. Is it good advice to buy that?

pnrrr , 27 January 2018 03:39

I feel like I know a lot about CryptoKitties, and I nearly bought the cat in your example (Nut) because I thought she was beautiful and I personally value her traits. After she was sold, I was pretty bummed I didn't buy her first. We all value things differently. It's not always about generation.

I see what you're saying, though, and I think it's important to help new players avoid costly mistakes. I appreciate your sentiment even though I strongly disagree with the particular example you chose.

jodiferous11 , 27 January 2018 04:48

We try to sell the cats at the best price possible. If any player would like to sell a very common cat at a high price, is totally Ok. That's the game main idea!!

kryptofan , 26 January 2018 23:34

kryptofan , 27 January 2018 05:04

eventually only gen0 cat will be of use as people will struggel to create new traits because only 50.000 exist and they ALL will be catatonic

ReavonGO , 27 January 2018 20:26

pnrrr , 26 January 2018 14:47

Nice trait, next wild mutation will be a Cyclops!!

There is a 9th cattribute category called "Wild", which was discovered when Elk popped up. Elk and Trioculus are the only two known cattributes in the Wild category so far.

DERPYBASTARD , 26 January 2018 17:38

What you talk about kitty with 16 cattributes? https://www.cryptokitties.co/kitty/14615
