How to raise a cat in the block chain to make money!

Recently, block chain technology was fired hot in addition to the price of a bit of money, a block-chain-cat game suddenly fire all over the ether square, just a week to let the Ethernet network almost paralyzed.

The Ethernet network "attack" the paralysis of the game is cryptokitties, commonly known as block chain masturbate cat. Many cats sell for up to hundreds of to thousands of ETH, equivalent to more than tens of thousands of dollars. Spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a cat, think about, this is what tyrants.

In the end what is the block chain of the cat, the block chain of the cat and the cloud masturbate cat, single-masturbate cat, masturbate solid cat what difference.

Let's take a look at the cat cryptokitties on sale:

According to $400~500 one of the ETH conversion, can be in the block chain of the cat is still true tyrants.

What are the rules for cryptokitties? Exactly how to play.

Don't worry, want to masturbate on the block chain, but also need a certain technical threshold:

First of all, cryptokitties use ETH as a "currency" to buy and sell cats, ETH is the digital currency of the ether square, so players need to have ETH first. You must then install Metamask this ETH wallet, which provides a Chrome browser plug-in, creates an account in the Metamask wallet, or imports an existing Ethernet account to see ETH address and ETH balances:

The ETH address is Cryptokitties's unique account, which needs to be pasted ETH address and an additional email address. Email is only used to send notifications, and the cat itself has little to do with it. All cats are registered on the block chain and confirmed by the address of the cat owner. Because the block chain using asymmetric encryption, as long as to ensure that their private key is not stolen, no one can take away through the address of the registered cat, developers do not, not immortal.

If you want to masturbate happily on the block chain, you have to go to the market to buy a cat. First pick a cheap buy:

Buy two for one-time:

To buy a cat is not easy, because the Ethernet block chain congestion, have to constantly improve the handling fee, the cost of buying a cat to spend a fee.

Once you've bought it, you can make it two cubs:

Each cat has a Gen logo, Gen 0 means this is the creation of the cat, Gen 1 is the first generation, Gen 2 is the second generation, and so on.

The cub is a technical work. Each cat has 256 attributes, which control the hair color, pattern, beard, teeth and so on, can be understood as 256 different kinds of genes. When two cats reproduce, the genes are inherited in a certain probability.

Genes can also mutate, and if they encounter mutations, they will produce bizarre kittens. For example, a cat with wings:

Navy Cat:

Blood-sucking cat:

Bug Cat:

These kittens can often sell high prices because of mutations in their genes.

Each time after the birth of the kitten, the parents will enter the cooldown mode, must "restore" a period of time to continue to reproduce the kitten. Each cat has a long and short recovery time, and the longer it gets, the more time it is to recover. The length of recovery time is also a factor affecting the price of cats.

If only a cat, want to breed with other people's cat, also can go to the market to see. Player 1 can be labeled a "breeding price", the Player 2 if you want to breed, you need to pay the Player 1 this price, the born cat to the player 2. Genetically good cats can mark a high price in the breeding market.

After a successful mating, childbirth also takes a while (several hours). After the kitten is born, you can see the new born kitten on my kitties page.

Cryptokitties officially launched on November 28, due to the enthusiasm of users, a short period of time, the cumulative breeding of about 100,000 cats, turnover of more than 5 million U.S. dollars, occupy the entire Ethernet square about 25% of the transaction, resulting in the Ethernet network almost paralyzed.

Cryptokitties How to make money for himself.

Cryptokitties a smart contract on the ether, and the site itself is used only to showcase and provide users with a more convenient trading platform. Every approximately 15 minutes, will produce a gen 0 of the creation of the cat, and through the contract automatic auction, auction proceeds into the developer's wallet.

In addition, the user breeds the cat through the Intelligent contract realization, the developer collects each transaction amount 3.75% as the handling fee.

What is the difference between a block chain and a cloud-masturbating cat? The biggest difference is that after the rules of the game are established, your cat is always your cat and the developer has no right to deprive anyone of the cat. And cloud-Cat is a central game, all cats are registered in the developer's database, developers can tamper with, deprive anyone of the cat, developers can also arbitrarily to create their own high-priced cats. Think of it, the props in online games are the digital assets that developers create and sell themselves, and there's no way to keep developers from cheating.

After talking about the advantages of the block chain masturbating cat, we look at the current block chain of cat's shortcomings.

Since users buy and sell cats, including breeding kittens, they are all implemented through smart contracts, which require a block chain to be packaged for a single transaction, ranging from 1 minutes to more than 10 minutes. Because the cryptokitties caused by the Ethernet network congestion, waiting for a few hours is common, so real-time is very poor. After you submit a deal, you can get some sleep and see if the deal is successful the next morning. In addition, the handling charges for the Ethernet trade increased sharply as congestion intensified, and if the fees were set too low, the transaction would not succeed at all. The fee for a transaction has risen from $0.1 trillion to 1~3 dollars, which is clearly not cost-effective for users. Note that this fee is a handling fee for miners, not a charge from a developer.

Therefore, it is not enough to support the large number of block chain applications in the future because of the serious shortage of the Ethernet network.

In addition, users want to participate in the block chain of the cat, the need for a higher technical threshold, that is, the private key, address, Ethernet, Ethernet, wallet, mining, packaging and other more familiar. A user who is not familiar with a block chain may not be able to create a successful transaction or understand why a transaction can take several minutes or even hours to complete.

At present, the block chain related technologies, especially wallets, for ordinary users is very poor ease of use. If you solve usability problems, you can say that there are several levels of growth in the user.

In any case, cryptokitties the concept of block chains to the public through games. Although the application of block chain is still in a very early stage, the potential of the future is immeasurable.
