We take a cut of all auctions facilitated by our smart contract, but we put no restrictions on owners' ability to transfer or sell their Kitties outside our site. In fact, CryptoKitties is the first smart contract to…
When we started the project, we expected to use a standard, eBay-style, rising auction with successive bids, but that resulted in way too many on-chain transactions. So, we had to find a kind of auction that required…
There's no way to prove it, but all the members of our team have pledged not to trade in cats in any way. We are definitely not manipulating the price. I can assure you that we're as surprised as anyone at the speed…
I understand this position, but when the money involved is crypto -- which is inherently highly "launderable" -- I'm not so sure. Why run your money through a cat when you could run it through a mixer?
The first release will be Ether only, but we hope to enable non-crypto payments soon after. (Behind the scenes everything happens in Ether, on the Ethereum blockchain.)
I believe Twic was paraphrasing me, and then asking if my statement (and thus his paraphrase) were satirical. It was a joke, and I intended it to work regardless of your opinion of Perl and Larry Wall himself. With that…
Well, you can consider it mentioned to the author... that would be me! I shouldn't have tweaked Java so mercilessly since I did love the language for so long (lo, these many years ago). However, I do think you really…
Semantic Databases can easily encode that kind of statement, adding any new kind of relationship is quite straightforward. That particular relationship is outside the goals of DBpedia, which is primarily intended to…
