The niche aspect is something everyone is overlooking. Combining this with the "auctioning" each pixel seems like it would be pretty slow moving.

Also, how would you protect against faked transactions? Certainly waiting for confirmations is out of the question.

The image is updated once every 10 minutes, mostly due to my slow server. It takes about 7 minutes to query the data and write it to disk.

This is not as dynamic as Reddit Place, the code is waiting for 1 confirmation before the pixel is colored.
