There seem to be a lot of questions that aren't covered on the CryptoKitties website, so I'm making an additional list of FAQ's on my site, https://cryptokitties411.com/. If you can think of any other questions I can add (especially if you're a new player), I'd love to hear them. Thanks! BREEDING How much does breeding cost?
- 0.008 ETH.
If I breed two cats that are different generations, what will the offspring be?
- The offspring's generation will always be one more than the highest generation cat. Example: If you breed a Gen 3 and a Gen 6, the offspring will be a Gen 7.
If I breed a Snappy cat with a Slow cat, how long will it take to get the kitten?
- It depends on which cat is the mom. Each cat goes through cooldown individually, so if the dame was a 30-min Snappy, the kitten will be born in 30 minutes.
What will the offspring's cooldown be?
- It depends on its generation. See this chart to determine its cooldown exactly.
Does it matter which cat I use as the sire and which cat I use as the dame?
- Genetically, no. The probability of getting traits from the sire is the same as getting them from the dame. If you want your kitten quickly, however, pick the faster cat as the dame.
Is there any way to find my kitty's DNA and read its genetic code?
- Yes! Check out my post on How to Read Your Kitty's Genes.
Can a kitty be bred with its siblings?
- No, a kitty cannot be bred with siblings, half-siblings, or parents.
TRANSACTIONS It's saying my transaction fee is going to be over $100?! Is this right?!
- No, definitely not. Check the gas limit. If Metamask automatically set the gas limit to 6,000,000 or something crazy, there was a problem. Hit 'Reject' and try the transaction again. The gas limit should be roughly 100,000-250,000. See my post on Gas Limit and Gas Price to learn more.
The transaction in Etherscan says successful, but I don't see my kitty. Where is it?
- The good news is, if the blockchain says it's yours, it's yours. The blockchain doesn't lie. The CryptoKitty website might be lagging behind, though, so give it some time and you're kitty will show up soon.
I click on "Buy this kitty" and nothing happens. What gives?
- Metamask sometimes takes a minute to pop up.
MARKET VALUE What should I sell my kitty for?
- You can check recent sales history at KittyExplorer. Filter by a similar generation and one of your kitty's rarer traits.
Is my kitty a shit-kitty?
- NO. Despite popular belief, there is no such thing as a shit-kitty. They're all beautiful and valuable in their own way. If you no longer want your kitty, however, I would love to give it a good home. Please send it here: 0xaba935f589805095a892ecefdb6eb83eff45d679.
TIPS AND TRICKS If you decide not to proceed with a transaction, make sure to hit REJECT. Don't just close the Metamask window!! Otherwise, the next time you initiate a transaction, Metamask will open two transactions and you may accidentally accept the wrong one. The list is found here, where I will be continuously updating it. Cheers!
