Bitcoin Forum

www.millionbitpage.com (http://www.millionbitpage.com)

I'm sure most of you heard about The Million Dollar Webpage, well this is the bitcoin take on the idea, you can purchase any number of pixels for a really small price, after going through a fully automatic process the image will appear seconds after your payment receives the needed confirmations, after that another person can "outbuy" your pixels if he pays 3 times the amount it cost you and so on.


As of the moment the average price is 0.000075BTC per pixel, so you can purchase pixels for your forum avatars using your change and et cetera.

I am also hear listening to suggestions as always!

I remember these things!

There are literally 12 of these for botcoin already and all of them are failures because they're completely unoriginal.

There is another one which I am aware of where they sell every pixel for the equivalent of 100$ in BTC manually which is just silly. this is an automatic process and you can outbid other players for pixels, the starting price is extremely low.

If I'm missing something throw me a link to a website which is similar to mine.

pixelco.in (http://pixelco.in)

Lol, login to buy pixels?

Oh not this tired old idea again :(   Someone put one of these up (again) just the other week, search for the thread on here.

this has been more than 18 months ago already in Bitcoinland.
keep moving and let the new ideas come.

Bitcoin museum.

Bitcoin museum is:
A) Bad design
B) Doesn't work
C) Isn't automatic
D) Isn't the same idea


I've seen the one you're talking about and it's not the same, I have wrote all the scripts for this website myself, it is impossible that a website with an identical script exists, it is also highly unlikely that a website with a similar idea exists.

If I'm wrong point me to a website which is like mine.

Are you saying that by simply having a login link their site isn't like yours?

From your FAQ....

"4. Have you done any Bitcoin projects in the past?
Yes I have but I will not elaborate further."



So you create a question to ask yourself, then you dance around answering the question that you created to ask yourself.  LOL!!  You are a funny man.

Tasteless design: Check
Bunch of nerdy wankers manually processing transactions: Check
No "pixels": Check
IMAO outdated concepts that have no use when using Bitcoins: Check



FAQ is called FAQ for a reason, it stands for Frequently Asked Questions, as someone who also owns other businesses that deal with BTC I have predicted that there will be a certain group of people that will want an answer to this question, so without turning a blind eye to this group of people I say yes, I have done projects on a much bigger scale before, dealt with DDoS, dealt with security, dealt with properly storing and handling coins, the website is being cached and delivered properly and is secure (better than Mt Cocks).

Of course I wouldn't want to tie my identity to my other previous projects because it's generally a bad practice and for my own personal reasons.

sorry to interrupt you, but... all this doesn't matter. taking us in comparison is missing the point.

happy that we woke up somebody, anyway... talent does what it wants, genius does what it can.

our is more of an anthropological research, rather than a rush to get some money.

Way to spam your website in official discussions about other websites, that'll surely get people to trust you!

Battle of the copycat business ideas. A true race to the bottom.

How is it a copycat business idea exactly? I have pretty much turned the idea 180 degrees while introducing cryptocurrencies and bitcoin gem like concepts, even though I have never even heard of the bitcoin gem before. It is about as much of a copycat of the original The Million Dollar Webpage as bitcoin is a copycat of fiat. Haters gonna hate  :-*

Haha seriously its safe to ignore MnW, all he does is rip people off and attempt to big note himself.

180 degrees would be a site that buys pixels from your visitors instead of the other way around  ;)

I think i came to your post because it was mentioning the bitcoin museum, and I noticed you spent some quick judgement and inaccurate words about it, probably because we come from different places and we are just here for different reasons. Useless to say that the museum is working perfectly and automatically, and we wouldn't be lack of programmers, if we'd see the need. that's why i pmd you asking if you would have liked to give us your whole script in exchange for a presence on the board.

The potential (and the duties) of The museum could turn out to be huge and we are here to document and observe, not to make easy money trying to find a reason for what we are doing. We just don't care if your site looks prettier (by the way the museum so far is fully working automatically and you said incorrectly to get some free trust discrediting what you didn't even try, that B.it doesn't work) or it "looks like a clone"..it is just another thing. maybe you cannot see it, we don't blame you for it. easy to understand that if you like bitcoin and maybe invest in it, you should hope that the museum will look healthy. we don't. we just want to observe, so far, the interaction with the 'ecosystem'.

Obviously an istitution doesn't need your trust as a self-referentiated individual, that probably sees life as a competition, and surely sounds like he hasn't been always on the winning side. We leave you to your "official" discussion about finding reasons to your actions.

what looked like spam, it was us trying to speak your pop language, so we repeat, and you should too, for coherence, if you believe in cryptocurrencies:

The point of a forum is that we may voice our personal opinions as I have voiced mine, if you are not happy about it go open an official thread for your little website and bitch there. I think anyone looking objectively will tell you your design sucks, it's not me as a "competitor" trying to gain an edge over you, I pity you if you think this way.

Maybe you should use some of the pixels yourself so it doesn't look so empty. Use it to demonstrate how it works, make your ads link to a page which explains the concept.

Also, the pixel map is too big, I think you want all the million pixels to be above the fold, meaning you don't want to scroll to see the lower pixels. Make the squares smaller for display and large for selecting to purchase.

It is a "standard" 100x100 size, at the moment it is very profitable to buy pixels when the cost is 0.000075BTC per pixel so I will leave the customers to do as they please, "faking" bought pixels would be unfair and give the wrong impression to potential buyers and I want to build the website on mutual trust, I want every customer to be certain that I got his back and I am not going to swindle people out of their money.

Your opinion has been incorrect, offensive and utterly stupid. like, i didn't want to say but your arrogance forces me, stupid is your idea, and complicated for NO reason. repeating those critics is just missing the point again. we officially think your IQ is too low to have a discussion.
don't worry, sounds like you can only get better. maybe if you want visibility you should buy a banner on the bitcoinmuseum.com. eheheh.

Why would you have to "fake" it? Can't you sell a few to yourself? Or to get the ball rolling, hold a raffle and give away some for free.

Yes, I don't do that, I want to create the image that I'm incorruptible, honest and will not back stab my customers. Holding a raffle and giving away ones for free would be unfair as well as "selling" a few to yourself.



In case someone actually follows you I will leave the messages you have sent me and let them decide who's the idiot:

"we are not scared to die cos we know who we are" huehuehuehue

yea, we asked for a copy but we don't want the pixels kicking and all this suicidal mechanism, useless at this stage.

regarding the 'we know who we are' that you laugh about, well.. it was a philosophical reference, probably too sophisticated, in hits simplicity, for you. sorry again. wasting my time apparently. you are self trolling, write it on your FAQs there.

I don't know what you're on about 95% of the time please leave, Google translate isn't working that great for Indian scammers. 50 years, pftt, register your domain first for 50 years, then buy a shared server for 50 years you fool.

I agree.  The guy is a presumptuous tool.

Shut up Meg.

EDIT: Sorry if I came off as rude I was just kidding  :D

The day I can't take a Family Guy joke is the day I change my avatar!  :)

Yeah, saw that you're online so though I'd kid a bit at your expense, wouldn't want to leave that post without your reply making me look like an a-hole  :P

Had quite a number of unique visitors on the 23rd, still surprised no one had the testicles to bite the bullet yet

I'm just sayin', I wouldn't trust a man who doesn't use his own product...

It's called seeding the jar. Learn to business.

I am in the creative mindset not the competitive one, I aim to create something new rather to compete for something that already exists, you people claim that business is praiseworthy when in reality its a godless fight for money, no honor in that.

Welcome back Atlas.

I'm "in the creative mindset" and the competitive one. I always aim to create something new rather than to compete for something that already exists. Competitive thinking helps protect your business though. If you're not interested in the business side of it (e.g. making money), then you must be in it for the feedback on your "art", and I think everyone gave their feedback already.

Funny, I do go by the nickname of Atlas sometimes, your ignore button is golden, you're a troll.

Trolls bother others for amusement. Albeit amusing that you refuse criticism, this discussion was never about you (until you wanted to make it about you). We were all talking about the endless "Million dollar homepage" clones cropping up monthly and how unoriginal the concept it.

My ignore button isn't golden, your is, thus the conclusion that you are a troll. One would even classify it as a fact rather than a personal opinion, the business is original, there is not a single one which is identical.

You make conclusions of other people's intentions based solely on a color? Where have we all seen that mentality before? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/KKK.svg/150px-KKK.svg.png

I get my "ignore color" first and foremost because I paid Theymos to make the forum do exactly that for everyone's amusement (You're welcome). Secondly, the specific color displayed reflects the actions of certain individuals who couldn't take what I dished out.

Now the real question is, would you still feel that I was a troll solely by my ignore color if you shared the same ignore color?

All I'm saying is that it's quite ironic to catch you trollin' with an untrustworthy title and a golden ignore button, even if I had one just like that you would never catch me trolling in other peoples threads so it wouldn't be as ironic.

I'll make a deal with you. I'll deal with the irony just fine if you can deal with other people's criticisms with integrity. I've been here 2 years. You're going to see me around. I'm going to be criticizing other things you do too. Eventually, you'll understand why and maybe even thank me. Until then, feel free to click "ignore" like many other have. It's easier, of course.

I do deal with any reasonable criticisms with complete integrity, on the contrary, I encourage everyone to comment on the design and so on. What I don't like is utter fools looking to troll in various threads, genuine criticism is based on love and caring, the aim is to make the subject better and work more efficiently, trolls however simply write collections of tasteless insults that aim to lower the subject and ultimately destroy it/him/her.

Well, there you go, that's most definitely not me. Everyone here knows me as being a supporter in fact. I co-founded the Bitcoin Magazine, and founded the DCAO (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/DCAO) 2 years ago for the same reason I'm criticizing "The Million Bitcoin Page"-- to raise standards and quality in the community.

Do not confuse aggression aimed at a project as being meant for their creator. That's a sign of an emotional attachment to project, which usually ends badly.

Basically you suggest I buy some of my own pixels - thanks for your suggestion. Any other suggestions?

Yes, make a site that hasn't been done a dozen times before (in some offshoot version). Someone who made a SatoshiDice clone can change it all the want, it's still a clone that adds no major value to the previous one. There are some pretty high standards to follow here if you're honestly asking for criticisms.

Instead of a pixel site selling space, which in my opinion is pointless on a site that isn't already popular (e.g. MtGox selling space would be a HUGE hit now wouldn't it?), why not try an original project? I have to go pick up dinner for my girlfriend and dogs. If you'll be around in a bit, I'd be happy to go over ideas with you. Creating is fun-- creating successful things is better though.

Meh I believe there is some potential to this if (and a pretty big if) you can give it enough of a push marketing wise. Both S. Dice and MtGox are ideas that suck and have been executed by inexperienced teenagers that are made to look like total fools with the constant DDoS attacks.

I will evolve this idea and take it to a different location, perhaps modernize it a bit for 2013.

Also because they're made by clueless children with no idea of business.

Implying S. Dice and MtGox aren't also made by clueless children with no idea of business.

How much money have you made from this? How much money has MtGox made? That doesn't sound like they have "no idea of business" to me, maybe an immature one though.

If you evaluate how good of a person someone is, how much he contributed or even his ability in business by how much he has made then I really do pity you.

Question.  Why are you ruining your official support thread arguing with a known troll?

Here we can see you are complaining about a lack of customers buying pixels. I responded with a suggestion to improve business:


You responded by changing the subject into one where you are now talking about yourself and instead of the site, then telling me that I "praise" a certain business (which I never did and I'm still confused as to what you were referring to):


In case you had confused my intentions to be attacking your idea instead of the business side, I clarified:


Instead of responding, you call me a "troll" (again, changing the subject);


After explaining that I'm not intending to troll, but just criticizing the idea itself, you made some rather bizarre statements, one of them being an outright lie:


I then explained how ridiculous you sounded, to which you responded what I believed to be honestly and I figured we were done bickering:


You even went further to ask again for some advice and I at this point am believing that whatever bad impression was given before is now rectified and I might have a chance of actually communicating with you on the same topic.


But then you take the offensive and attack SDice and MtGox (troll?), something you so emphatically preached against just hours earlier, all while bringing up business once again like it was somehow suddenly important to you:


(remember, you don't care about business, only the creativity, right?)


I then ask you to clarify your attack against MtGox and SDice, you having not having produced a successful project yet whereas they have both produced insanely successful businesses (despite both having their flaws of course).


Now you change the subject again:


I am now convinced you're an idiot and I'll leave your thread.

Dunno, any press is good press I guess  ;)


One love bro  :P

If you don't then you're exactly the sort of idiot that has no business here.


Yeah. Child bereft of any idea of how to do business. Implying you're an idiot.

MPOE-PR, stop playing hard to get, let me take you out for dinner, watch a cheap zombie flick together, I'll let you caress my abs while I gently whisper "you mirin" in your ear.

That's so 1990's ... boring.

You buy something, someone buys from you and you make profit, someone buys from them and they make profit...reminiscent of a Ponzi scheme

This thread went from "meh" to "hilarious" with almost no trolling required whatsoever. Huzzah for an amusing read!




But it's still a dumb site idea.

I never noticed the different levels of coloring on the ignore button until all the trolls showed up in this thread. There are multiple levels of troll happening in here. I am out.

Cool story bro, tell it again

Okay. I never noticed the different levels of coloring on the ignore button until all the trolls showed up in this thread. There are multiple levels of troll happening in here. I am out.

Still not satisfied and a month late.
