Re:Show HN: Create Your Own Million Dollar Homepage on Ether... by takeshi_w on Thursday January 31, 2019 @08:29AM (#19044529)
Author here. This is a personal advertising platform. Whenever I write a post on the web, I put a link to this page. This way my advertisers get traffic, and I receive funding for my future projects (and charity).

I would like anybody to be able to do the same. Or maybe invent other use cases. Here is the source code: https://github.com/porobov/million-ether-homepage-2-contract.... It is well documented and can be used for education (smart contract upgradeability, oracles, ERC-721 token, web3).

The project is called The Million Ether Homepage. It is like the well-known Million Dollar Homepage but with some blockchain-powered cool features: - buy pixels and own them for life (or for as long as Ethereum is available) - sell or rent pixels out with no commission - put ads to the pixels you own and replace it anytime - trade pixels through 3rd party decentralized exchanges (ERC721 token standard implemented). - the price for a 10x10 pixels block starts with $1 and doubles every 10% sold.

The first version was launched back in 2016. It collected $11k for charity. This version also sends 80% of income to charity.

It is at Minimal Viable Product stage and a bit clumsy. You'll need Metamask extension for your browser and some ether.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
