Hey @acidyo, why do you want a cryptokitteh? I just don't get the hype..
I mean, it's cool to have an active game on the blockchain, but it's just buying a pixel collection, right?

The pixel industry in gaming is huge. :)
It's not too long before virtual goods are a ginormous industry. You are correct, they're just pixels. Still, you don't want to be the guy that doesn't get it. Unless you do. In any case, time marches on. We don't have to agree with the parade of absurdities, but it sure doesn't hurt to at least understand it.
Star Citizen is setting out an adventurous virtual goods stall, and it’s not even out yet!
I could only imagine if that was funded by crypto...
yep! That's me. But I hope I still learn some things
Stuff like this can often become extremely popular. Looks at purely cosmetic gun skins in the game CS:GO for example; the rares ones can be worth thousands of dollars!
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I heard people would pay thousands of dollars for a particular skin, and I would be like:
does it do more damage? no. does it shoot faster? no. more accuracy? no. Then WHAT??
"Looks cool."
I believe it's more like showing off how much money they are able to spend type of thing. The same as buying expensive watches, expensive purses etc. Some people just like to spend money on expensive stuff, including strange, digital kittens :P
Well then @valth, let's begin a new coin, with a limited coin supply of 1000 units, no digits, and to purchase through ICO at one million USD per unit. Let's call it ELITIST.
What do you say?
edit- no whitepaper or use case necessary. only bragging rights
It's not important. It's fun. I watch my cat happy every day
