A little over a decade ago, a website called MillionDollarHomePage.com was created by Alex Tew. The page consisted (and still consists) of a 1000x1000 pixel grid, with a total of 1,000,000 pixels being sold for $1 each. Because the pixels themselves were too small to be seen individually, they were sold in 10x10 pixel tiles for $100 each. The purchasers of each tile then provided a 10x10 pixel image to be used, as well as optionally a URL for the tile to link to. Once an image had been configured for a given tile however, it could never be changed (nor could the ownership of the tile). In many ways, PixelMap.io is similar to the MillionDollarHomepage. There are a total of 1,016,064 pixels for sale (on a 1,296 x 784 grid). This grid is broken up into 3,969 16x16 tiles, each at an initial price of 2 Ethereum. However, unlike the MillionDollarHomepage.com, every single tile is controlled by a single contract on the Ethereum Blockchain. This lends itself to 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.
