CryptoKitties Beginners Guide, Useful Tools and Giveaway

CryptoKitties is an amazing game with the potential to introduce new people to the Blockchain space. However, I have realized that newcomers usually struggle with CryptoKitties. There have been many reports of people who have spent ridiculous amounts on useless kitties. The game's naming system doesn't help either. It allows false advertising and misleads people into buying "great starter" and "rare" kitties.

Don't get scammed! Do your research before buying your first kitty. Get used to the different cattributes and the way generations work.

In order to help new kitty breeders, I decided to put together a collection of useful tools and resources. Enjoy!

I Can Has Kitty

If you are looking for your first kitty you should make sure to get a decent deal. Do not just buy a random cat. "I Can Has Kitty" is a great tool which lets you search the marketplace for the best deal available at a specific price level of your choice.
