~The birth of "cloud cats"
This cloud cat game called Crypto Kitties, it was also called "Encrypted cat" or "cloud cat." It is unique in that it can be traded through one of the most popular blockchain platforms.
According to the website, each cat has 256 genomes, and one pair of cats can randomly generate 4 billion gene combinations, so that each cat that is bred Have a unique appearance and attributes.
~Breeding of "cloud cats"
After the cat has been purchased only two kinds of features, that is, reproduction and rest. Encrypted cats need to be put on the blind date when they need to multiply.
Each "cloud cat" has a 256-bit genome, and has a different combination of gene sequences, and the two "cloud cat" pairing, it will produce a new cat, this new cat at the same time Have the characteristics of parents, but not exactly the same with their parents.
The "Creator Cat" on the site, the original "Cloud Cat", is said to be only 100, but at the moment a new "Cloud Cat" is born almost every 15 minutes.
In addition to being unable to be copied, stolen and destroyed, these "cloud cats" seem eternal.

The British "Sunday Times" reported that since the game was introduced 12 days ago, has completed the transaction of 70,000 encrypted cats, the transaction value of more than 11 million US dollars.
We usually play the game, once the game company closed the virtual cat disappeared. But once the "cloud cat" has it, it will always be there and no one can snatch it or make it disappear out of thin air.
So it has the same permanence as Bitcoin, and anyone in the world can buy, play, breed, and trade a cloud cat.
There are already hundreds of thousands of cats now.
Can imagine how long it will take millions of cats to appear.
