Good project! Can't wait to see how it will evolve in the (near) future!
Hi everyone!
I'm not sure if this is the right category, if it's not please let me know! We recently released http://pixelmap.io, which is our first Dapp (developed on Ethereum). If anyone remembers the MillionDollarHomepage from back in the day, PixelMap.io is very similar, except written entirely in a Solidity contract and stored on the blockchain. This gives it the following benefits

I've been gone from here for a few years (last time I was here I was setting up the first insurance company to accept Bitcoin), I hope all has been well! Let me know what everyone thinks, have a good weekend!

I'm not sure if this is the right category, if it's not please let me know! We recently released http://pixelmap.io, which is our first Dapp (developed on Ethereum). If anyone remembers the MillionDollarHomepage from back in the day, PixelMap.io is very similar, except written entirely in a Solidity contract and stored on the blockchain. This gives it the following benefits
- Each tile is truly owned by the entity that purchases it. Because the data is stored on the Blockchain, nothing short of every single Ethereum node shutting down can eliminate the data.
- The contract is designed so that in the event that a tile owner would like to update the image, change the URL the tile points to, or sell the tile for any amount they'd like, they can, without any central authority facilitating or controlling any part of the process.
- In the event that PixelMap.io itself were to ever go down, the data, owner, and URLs for every single pixel remains on the Blockchain, and any site could easily replicate and display the overall image. Essentially, the backend and database of the PixelMap.io is invincible as long as the Blockchain exists. Additionally, we are looking into using Golem and/or IPFS to fully distribute the frontend as well.
- The project is completely Open Source, which means anyone can view the code, audit the Solidity contract, or even set up more frontends if they'd like. For instance, if someone wanted to set up an easier-to-use tile editor for PixelMap.io, they could, as all of the data is stored safely on the Ethereum blockchain.
