I'm expecting some convincing solutions to the cat-issue. It's extremely relevant to push for much more resiliemce
There is
no solution to Ethereum scalability problems. Consider it to it's way to graveyard. If a singe blockchain game CryptoKitties can take up to 20% of transaction volume of whole network and
slow screw it down, just imagine what will happen after similar games will be launched? If the situation will not stabilize, all of us will switch to NEM, NXT Bitshares or Waves. Vitalik is just enjoying his millions and laughing hard.
Not sure if he's laughing hard or working to really find a solution. I'd love to know. Probably you're right that this is a good point to look for the development of these alternatives.
