Blockchain-based feline breeding game, CryptoKitties, is reportedly overwhelming the network used to process cryptocurrency Ethereum. The popularity of the game means it’s now responsible for 11% of the transactions over the Ethereum network, squeezing the blockchain, slowing down transactions of the digital cash. You can also use your GPUs to play games, and these are the best graphics cards around for that. CryptoKitties was created as a bit of an entry point to cryptocurrencies for the masses, using the twin pillars of cats and cash. It’s also one of the first games to be built using blockchain technology. "We wanted to make blockchain technology accessible to the everyday user, as we believe this is a key step in otherwise seeing the technology adopted," Axiom Zen told Bloomberg. "We wanted to explore blockchain applications outside of ICOs and cryptocurrencies." from https://www.pcgamesn.com/ethereum-cryptokitties-slow-network
