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 consisted 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. The purchasers of these pixel blocks provided tiny images to be displayed on them, a URL to which the images were linked, and a slogan to be displayed when hovering a cursor over the link. The aim of the website was to sell all of the pixels in the image, thus generating a million dollars of income for the creator. The Wall Street Journal has commented that the site inspired other websites that sell pixels.

Launched on 26 August 2005, the website became an Internet phenomenon, with copycat websites emerging in response. The Alexa ranking of web traffic peaked at around 127; as of 9 May 2009, it was 40,044.[3] On 1 January 2006, the final 1,000 pixels were put up for auction on eBay. The auction closed on 11 January with a winning bid of $38,100 that brought the final tally to $1,037,100 in gross.

During the January 2006 auction, the website was subject to a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) and ransom demand, which left it inaccessible to visitors for a week while its security system was upgraded. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Wiltshire Constabulary investigated the attack and extortion attempt.

Tew dropped out of the business degree the site was set up to fund after one term. The Million Dollar Homepage was still receiving thousands of daily viewers in 2019, although by 2017, many of the website’s links suffered from link rot, which has caused the URLs to no longer function as originally intended.

Many other sites sold advertising by pixels. Tew said of the sites, “[they] popped up almost immediately; now there are hundreds of Web sites selling pixels. The copycats are all competing with each other. ”they have very little ads, therefore I guess it’s not going too well for them. The idea only works once and relies on novelty … any copy-cat sites will only have pure comedy value, whereas mine possibly has a bit of comedy PLUS some actual pull in advertising dollars … so I say good luck to the imitators!”

Reddit’s “Place”-

Place was a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on the social networking site Reddit that began on April Fools’ Day in 2017. The experiment involved an online canvas located at a subreddit called r/place, which registered users could edit by changing the color of a single pixel from a 16-colour palette. After each pixel was placed, a timer prevented the user from placing any pixels for a period of time varying from 5 to 20 minutes.

The experiment was ended by Reddit administrators about 72 hours after its creation, on April 3, 2017. Over 1 million users edited the canvas, placing a total of approximately 16 million tiles, and, at the time the experiment was ended, over 90,000 users were actively viewing or editing. The experiment was commended for its representation of the culture of Reddit’s online communities, and of Internet culture as a whole.

1 Million NFTs -

1MlnNFTs.com

1MlnNFTs.com is a smart-contract based web3 platform on Ethereum blockchain with 1000x1000 pixels grid. Each pixel is an ERC-721 NFT token with its location. Users will have an opportunity to buy, sell, rent and paint them to create any picture with any link inside. But to paint pixels you need another ERC-20 tokens.

IDO’s of 1MlnNFTs was taka place on the following platform:

  • Poolz
  • YellowRoad
  • A2DAO

Key points

  • There will be NO PUBLIC SALE except for IDOs on Poolz, YellowRoad and A2DAO
  • 400'000 1MLN tokens arranged for public round will be transferred to Farming
  • So the initial market cap reduced from $1'000'000 to only $600'000!

1MIL Contracts

So if you were not whitelisted to any of three IDOs, the only way to grab your 1MIL tokens — get them on Uniswap or PancakeSwap. And here are the correct contracts for you, so please USE ONLY THESE ADDRESSES:

  • ERC-20: 0xa4eF4b0B23C1fc81d3f9ecF93510e64f58A4A016 (contract)
  • BSC: 0xa4eF4b0B23C1fc81d3f9ecF93510e64f58A4A016 (contract)

My Vision about 1MIL project:

This project have huge potential in it because its from other NFT platform that is inspired by big NFT trend 1milliondollarhomepage.New partnerships and new contest of NFT create can take 1MIL to top level in NFT’s world

Hope’s you like my review positive feedback appreciated !
