RE: 😿 My CryptoKitties Experience ~ An In-Depth Look at the NOT SO FUNNY Side
Great post.
Getting a kitty was my first experience using ethereum and understanding how gas works. Honestly it was painful and most of that was from the network issues.
Also the cost for transactions! Having to guess the amount of GWEI and then the total you would pay and yada yada yada is difficult for someone that just wants to join in the fun. It is amazing that Steem is creating transactions on the blockchain with the push of a button just like I am about to do. 👍
🌟 EXACTLY! You hit the nail on the head right there!
Trying to figure out all those computations to get the best price but just high enough to let the transaction go through is beyond frustrating.
If we ever expect crypto-based applications to go mainstream and be "mom and dad" friendly where they are not calling every 2 minutes for help, chains like STEEM, BTS, and soon EOS are the only way to go.
Why in the world did they choose ETH, we may never know. But it was a missed opportunity for sure.
