As many of you will know the Ethereum network is having trouble processing transaction because of the increased volume created by CryptoKitties.
If you have had a transaction that processed recently please post how long it took to complete and how much GAS was used.

This CryptoKitties is really a headache in Ethereum network. We use 50 gwei to make sure the transaction won't miss. It's a headache just like bitcoin network specially when you send small amount of ethereum.

Please what is this Cryptokitties stuff that's really causing trouble for us? Is there nothing Ethereum blockchain can do about it. Sudden increase in transaction gas for the benefit of who? We need to understand something.

As far as I know CryptoKitties a cat trading game that runs on Ehereum network. It went viral that's why the ETH network is so clogged that its really hard to transaction now without increasing the GAS. You can compare the slowness and huge transaction fees to the bitcoin network now. Short term solution is to really increase the GAS. Long term? Because its not really practically to used high GAS. But I'm sure this kind of games would last, and it will die down naturally. We just have to wait though till it subsides and see the network back to normal again.
