CryptoKitties Give-A-Way~~~~Virgin Pair
If you don't know what the big deal about CryptoKitties is let me be the first one to tell you.
They are a game on the Ethereum network that helps users learn smart contracts, MetaMask and the Ethereum network as a whole.
Many people are having trouble purchasing CryptoKitties and there are all sorts of false rumors that they are messing up the Ethereum network but reality is they are a smart contract and that means they are different than just sending Ethereum back and forth to each other. They are also hosted on an auction site found at Cryptokitties.co and it allows users to understand how buying items with Ethereum is different than just pushing buy. There are different functions on the network that will allow buyer B to win the item even though buyer A made the purchase first.
Why does this matter? It does and it doesn't, when buying kitties that fact doesn't really matter but do you want to learn the Ethereum network when it is something really important that has life changing benefits or repercussions or messing around with a novelty game? Smart money would learn to use the network playing a game and not later when it is an important item trying to be purchased.
Here is your chance to learn, this is a single event and the winner will be gifted both of these virgin CryptoKitties from my personal collection.
Entry Rules. Upvote this post, Resteem and tell me what item you hope to see on a network like Ethereum in the future or the type of items you think Smart Contracts are most valuable for.
That's it.
There will only be one winner
Good Luck.
Oh goodness, I wish I was smart enough to have an appropriate & qualifying response to those questions, but I feel as if I'll not have an educated answer until I have one & learn more about the network! Total catch 22.
Maybe I'll get some learning in before the event ends. I have checked it out, but the "cat" that would make me invest is way beyond my means.
Grats to the winner! I'm already stoked for you & thanks for such a generous giveaway. 😻
What do I think will be the future, do you mean other than a token for every cyber club, group, and project? Well, I think there will be a crypto bank. Yes, a centralized bank not run government or power house, but some sort of witness like program. To facilitate exchange between various currencies
I think you're in luck my friend.

Worlds first decentralized bank. You can get into their ico here
An auto exchange between currencies and fiats would be cool now so many could sell at a single location for max benefit, nice answer.
Smart Contracts and the Insurance industry will be huge in my opinion.
A claim can typically take weeks to months to complete and the process is done with manual human interaction. The claims process in its current state is a factor in insurance premiums due to the cost associated with filing claims manually. Streamlining and automating the process with smart contracts would reduce insurance costs and the process time for claims. Triggering an automatic execution of the contract based on pre-agreed terms would reduce time and money involved in processing a claim.
@rawdawg What would they have to do in order to make the final process of insurance claims work better on Smart Contracts? Would it lead to higher premiums?
Smart Contracts would lead to lower premiums for the consumer as the cost of processing claims would be reduced. This has been tested on a small scale already, the company AXA is using smart contracts for flight delay insurance.

IMHO, if smart contracts are successful in smaller areas of insurance such as "flight delay" we will see wider adoption as firms begin to catch on to smart contract capability.
Good info, thanks for a real world example
I want to see crypto-Pokemon. An ICO for a rare Charizard. That would be neat.
crypto waifus are better, pokemon, sheesh, no originality...hahaha
Is a free world. I think someone somewhere has already married a Pokemon.
You have to Hope that Nintendo see some profit in doing this.
They would sue everyone they could. Good luck with that, Nintendo.
@ertwro get your mind out of the gutter.......
LOL. Ok. Want me to go serious. I want to see an inheritance contract. There are notary functions being tested like OpenStamps by Peter Todd. Nothing really good at the moment.
That would be outstanding, this could be really good if contracts end up border-less.
I think there might me an evolution of the cryptokitties. Maybe a mechanism to allow some sort of interaction with them, to increase their stats or something like that. Then a way for them to compete against each other in some sort of game.
That would be awesome, right now the only option is to pimp them.
I'd like to meet the maker of this CryptoKitties Game.

What Item I would like to see on the Ethereum Network:
Personally, I would like to see Photographs being exchanged or auctioned - wherein One can transfer the Copyright of a photograph. Would be good for auction as well.

@prakashghai That would be pretty amazing, I assume you mean digital rights?
I am saying transfer of copyright.. so some photographers can make it exclusive and sell high.. digital rights are worth pennies.. like shutterstock give $0.25 per download.. If I can see the origional for $50 base auction price or something
Alright, that clarifies it. Good idea, I think.
Cats transferred with an extra virgin for my not timing this game correctly, enjoy.
Thank You :)
With the way how things are going right now, I believe that crypto-banks are an inevitable future. With real a time market fluctuation follow up etc.
Keeping in mind that actions related with a cryptocurrency is a very time sensitive thing and people are still experiencing difficulties with transactions from the "ordinary" banks when trying to make a cryptocurrrency purchase and this is unacceptable.

@gretum That would be great but would you really want all money tied to an unregulated market? What laws would you suggest to make a crypto bank safe from shill bidders and pump and dumpers?
Not all but rather the amount you are willing to use for actions with a cryptocurrency. As they say - it is never safe to have all eggs in one basket ;)
Regarding laws, well that is the question a bit out of my expertise sadly. But I am sure that there are plenty of people who would have viable suggestions on the matter.
I suggest not even keeping all your eggs in the same country to be honest.
Good point is good.
Btw on the fun note, I really hope to see CryptoBunnies on the Steem one day ^.^
Bunnies sound like they would produce faster, lol
Lesser waiting times ;)
Yes, and steem network can handle it too
I would like to see all Government contracts and positions on a blockchain type system. Kind of like the witness program where people can be replaced on the fly with a huge list of waiting recipients to take their place. No more 4-5 years of screwing us, over 1 bad vote. But behavior and ability gaged on a daily basis under the watchful eye of concerned citizens.
That might keep things a little more honest, and the good people would stay till retirement.
Cheers
I've been trying to buy a Kitty for days with no luck, plus losing coin on failed transactions. What a frustrating system. It's like shooting in the dark. LOL

Happy Holidays 🎅 🐈🎄🐾 🍻
@steemkitties That would be good if there was a way to keep it so people only were able to make one vote per actual human and it was based on number of people and not weight of vote as is how it is here on steemit. A witness here can have 5,000 votes that don't equal 1 vote of a difference witness.
On a public voting system, there would have to be a way to identify a person through a process of some sort. and of course, no vote would have any more weight than another to work.
But new and exciting things are being created daily.
Cheers
cypto waifus! Make crypto waifus!
Omg omg, I wan't to have one of these heavenly cuddly little delights. Owning two will just blow my mind away to the farthest galaxy we haven't even discovered yet! Upvoted, resteemed and followed!
The possibilities of smart contracts are endless, and that is what makes the future of this world and its people so bright and glorious. Fiat is passe, as we've come to realize. As for what I'd love to see implemented on ETH and through smart contracts, there are a ton of options from influencing and managing social reputations of entities to having crypto banks, to insurance that could be possibly great to have on the blockchain. But one I'd closely want to see implemented is charities, where transparent donations are recorded on the network and executed through smart contracts, donors can be incentivized to donate more and the generation and distribution of wealth could support innumerable people across the globe.

@ igsamuel Amazing answer, I would also like to see charities on the transparency of the blockchain. Imagine if all political donations had to be done on the blockchain as well as their spending of said account.
