The Million Dollar Homepage as an Ethereum DApp: The Thousand Ether HomepagesteemCreated with Sketch.

in advertising •  7 years ago  (edited)

My friend and I have been doing some smart contract audits, and we wanted to build a fun contract ourselves. We remembered the Million Dollar Homepage from 12 years ago, and decided to reimagine what it would look like today on the blockchain.

We present, the Thousand Ether Homepage: https://thousandetherhomepage.com/

Launched last month, and sold 144 ETH worth so far. Not an ICO, but more of an experiment / art project. Perfect for promoting your fav ICO, though!

The smart contract itself: https://etherscan.io/address/0xb5fe93ccfec708145d6278b0c71ce60aa75ef925#code

What’s cool about it:

  • It’s immortalized on the Ethereum blockchain. As long Ethereum is around, your ad slot will be yours to do with it what you please. No need to rely on us to run the service indefinitely.
  • There’s no email signups, no passwords, no credit cards.
  • You buy ads by calling a method on the smart contract with the correct Ether value, and tada. All done from an Ethereum-enabled browser (like the MetaMask extension or Mist/Parity).
  • Once you buy an ad, the DApp knows who you are from the wallet integration and you can edit it without logging in explicitly.

The buying experience looks like this:

Super amazing post!! And project!!
This is sooooooo undervalued!
Maybe we can co-create together, contact us on here, @earthnation , or www.asc.ai ... www.asc.ai/homecenter - come to our Calendar, and join one of our meetings/shows, meet our people, plug in to our network/resources! Maybe there is a partnership where we help promote your post virally.. It would also benefit us to have our banner really big on the screen before we go viral, too. We can talk ideas/negotiate!
Who knows?!!!

It was a great idea the first time, and now with the crypto spin it's even better....i hope you sell it out!
