Can you own a piece of Internet? Yes. We build a board to stay in the history. With a symbolic dollar, you get the spot forever, proudly standing next to other lucky folks. Hurry up! Pixels are selling out like hotcakes.

Hey everyone! I'm Constantin—founder of Buy a Pixel. It’s something different from complicated products we see every day. A space for creativity and fun. How does it work? You claim a pixel, we approve it as SFW, you get your spot. Upload an image, set up a URL, and own your property. Showcase a product, a social media profile, or a spicy meme. Whatever you want. About a hundred pixels are left. It’s 400 on the board. Don’t wait, share something with the world!

2023 version of the Million Dollar Homepage, it's a smart and well-executed move, the kind that people would despise on Hackernews because they're jealous they didn't do it themselves. Have fun with the launch guys!

@gael_de_mondragon Thanks! This is not meant to be a serious and complicated project. We hope that people have as much fun with it as we did building it. Btw, great to see you on the board! 😄

Wow, whoever got that middle pixel is a serious buyer 🧠 Congrats on the launch! 🚀

@esus Haha, thanks Esus! I wonder how many people clicked on that pixel already. 😄
Tobias Arweiler
This is so dumb. I like it. I hope we can change the image in the pixel later? Because I was furiously spending ma money before the square pieces are gone :D Need to swap out some images later.

Haha, this "million dollar homepage" idea gets reborn every couple years.
Esus 🛡️
Oh snap! Congrats on moving up ya'll! Had a few questions: - What does the traffic look like so far? - Are there any plans for future expansion/etc?
Constantin Ginga

@esus Thank you! We've been discussing that. We were thinking about giving the option to pixel owners to resell their property. How does that sound? 😄
Esus 🛡️
@constantout Wow, yeah I'd love to be 1st with my middle one lmao. Your choice if you wanna add graphics, but maybe like...$100 for the rick roll spot 😆

Is this paying homage to www.milliondollarhomepage.com? what a throwback, love this!
Constantin Ginga
Maker
@entreeden Yes! It's a big part of internet history and we wanted to bring it back with a fresh spin. 😀

My pixel already generated a ton of traffic! Highly recommend :)

@thomashalbritter Very happy to hear that! Was it with just one pixel or did you claim multiple ones?

Thaha
Bought mine. Can I change the URL/image later?
Constantin Ginga
Maker
@thehighsecond You can reach out to change mistakes or set up new domain, if the project moved to a new URL. But you should think on what to place there, as this is what will stay in the history. 😄
Thaha
@constantout Ha, I just selected black for now. I will think and get in touch to replace the pixel image.
Constantin Ginga
Maker
@thehighsecond Sure, no problem! :)
@thomasjamesio
