Cryptokitties Improvement Ideas
If you don't play CK, this article won't make any sense to you, but feel free to read it anyway if you are interested. In a future article I will detail gameplay and strategy concepts. Yes, there is actual strategy that all the profitable players use. I've came back from my huge deficit back into the green (barely) again :)
Technically I'm up about .075 more ETH, but a hedge I did with a friend resulted in me gifting a few cats to his accounts for breeding purposes. He sold them and then just sent the ETH he owed me in a standard transaction.

Look at your own risk, haha
I've been playing Cryptokitties since December, but only recently (~1.5 months ago) started playing more seriously. There have been several things I've noticed which I believe would be improvements to the game. If you agree with me, like and share, and maybe we can get them to take notice!
I think the game is pretty fun as it, but the volume really limits your overall profitability. The game reminds me a lot of the stock market, so some of the below features reflect that.
- Add a limit buy function. It'd be nice to be able to buy a cat if it hits a certain price without having to wake up at 4AM to get the price you'd like to play.
- Add an advanced tab when creating a sale to offer additional levels. Ex: Level One 0.1 to 0.04 - 12 hours, Level 2 0.04 to 0.005 - 24 hours
- Show current online users
- Add views/watches (similar to eBay) on current auctions. Ebay's make offer function would also be nice.
- Add "friends" infrastructure. Searching for friends is currently a huge pain in the ass.
Feel free to add your improvement ideas to my comment section as well!
Those are definitely nice to have features. I would also like:
Considering the recent $12M in funding that CryptoKitties received, hopefully, we will see some of these features implemented 😎
I like both of your suggestions as well, especially the ability to sort by cattributes! I guess they never figured some of us would have as many cats as we do 😂
That’d be great to see them implement these features to improve user friendliness. They also need to do something about searching for family jewels!
