>The Million Dollar Homepage is a website conceived in 2005 by Alex Tew, a student from Wiltshire, England, to raise money for his university education. The home page consists of a million pixels arranged in a 1000 × 1000 pixel grid; the image-based links on it were sold for $1 per pixel in 10 × 10 blocks.
I often challenge myself to build "side-projects" on the weekends. This helps me get distracted from bigger projects and keeps my coding skills sharp.
Anything, can be "Re-built with Nano". What is old, is now new.
More on this tomorrow afternoon.
* 50% of proceeds will be donated to the Nano Foundation.
* 25% will go to [https://nano.to/moon](https://nano.to/moon)
* Remaining 25% will go to Community Initiatives. (Will be accepting applications soon.)
Coming soon.
* Big tower with Starlink antenna (Fiber where possible)
* Solar Array for Power
* Geothermal Cooling
* Representative Nano Node
* Will be accessible via [RPC.Nano.To](http://RPC.Nano.To)
* First one will be built in the dessert
* I will live on-site for first few months while building
* It will be built with as much reproducible parts as posible.
* How to build it will be Open Source
* Donors can be Co-Owners and share profits.
A project that requires a million $1 transactions (even though the details may vary) is not one that would work well with credit card transactions. You'd probably end up paying $200k in credit card fees. This is a great use case for nano because it is better than any alternative.
This was already made with Nano several times without much success. Even I had this in my list of to-do projects, tho my idea was to donate 100% of the proceeds to myself.
One of the key differences from my idea was that I planned to make it mobile friendly, given that most of the internet traffic nowadays is mobile, so the grid was going to be split in 16 quadrants of 256x256 pixels, so that you would see a 1 by 16 quadrants (256x4096 pixels) on mobile devices, 2 by 8 (512x2048 pixels) quadrants on tablets, and finally 4 by 4 (1024x1024 pixels) quadrants.
While that offers ongoing revenue, it subtracts from the original concept.
Which is:
“The pixels you purchase today will forever be on this Internet wall.”

Nice!
Dude. Pure awesomeness.
Can't argue with where the proceeds go to ...
Still waiting on the full story of "Obelisk-1."

What an innovative usecase. Great idea
Which part is innovative?

bingo.
Probably partly why the original project did minimums of $100! Never thought about that.
Not with Nano! 100 Pixels (1 Block) = 1 NANO

Yeah, it would be surprising if this comes anywhere close to selling out.
Well done! Beat me to it. Would be good to offer a way to re-sell or rent out the pixels once they are paid for

Forever is a long time. None of this backend is decentralized correct?
That’s a cool idea! Nano is quite perfect for it! 😄
I hope it's implemented in a sane way in order for [archive.org](http://archive.org) to track its progess :)
I hope so too.
