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/ 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.

Your 20 percent tax on charity collections seems steep, was this made clear to the people who made donations?

  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.

    My question was whether it was made clear that you took 20 percent of the donations.
    - takeshi_w 8y ago
      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?

        Thank you kindly for the excellent reply, it is certainly sufficient for my understanding.
