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.
Yes, the price is $1 for 10x10 pixels block. It is very clear for users. They need to query the price in ETH. They pay only $1. It is me who gets only 20 cents out of it.
I never asked for donations. I sell pixels and then forward part of my income to charity. I think I described it quite clearly. Is there a place in the docs or at the page which you think may be understood in a wrong way?

Would love to hear your thoughts.
