SteemPixels.com - The World's First Blockchain Powered Decentralized Collaborative Pixel Canvas
Introducing

To clear up any confusion, it costs nothing to participate. Setting pixels is completely free. Buying pixels is completely optional!
What is a collaborative pixel canvas?
SteemPixels.com is a 1000x1000 pixel image ( 1 million total pixels ) where users set the color of a chosen pixel every 20 seconds. Specially formatted comments are left on this post and parsed to build the whole image. Additionally users have the option to buy a pixel for 1 SBD and ensure nobody else is allowed to change it. The canvas updates in realtime and will evolve organically as individuals and groups draw on it. The idea was inspired by Reddit's 2017 April Fool's social experiment called /r/place. To glimpse the awesome potential of SteemPixels.com take a few minutes to watch the time-lapse video of the /r/place pixel canvas.

Anyone with a Steemit account can login and instantly start collaborating with others across the world and express their creative vision pixel by pixel.
Here's a step by step guide on how to join in!
- Go to SteemPixels.com
- Click the Login button in the upper right corner to login securely with SteeemConnect using your private posting key.
- Choose a color from the palette on the left.
- Click a pixel of your choice! You may zoom in using the magnifying glass buttons on the right or with your mouse wheel.
- A popup will appear with a few options. You have the option to attach a message (or link URL) with the pixel and here is where you make the choice of buying the pixel for 1 SBD or just changing it's color. ( Note: anyone else can change the pixel when you choose the Post Comment option. )
- You may place a pixel every 20 seconds. If you enabled notifications on SteemPixels.com you will be alerted when you can place your next pixel!
How will SteemPixels.com help minnows get noticed?
The pixel canvas acts as a sort of visual Trending page where everyone has an equal chance of getting noticed. All it takes is the patience to draw something eye catching!
What's special about buying and owning pixels?
When you pay 1 SBD to buy a pixel you are given the exclusive right to change it, upate it's color and message or transfer it to another user. Pixels can be thought of as a non-fungible asset or virtual real estate. We expect pixel exchanges to popup as the community realizes the value potential that comes with owning them. Launching an ICO for your SMT? Grab some prime pixel real estate on SteemPixels.com to advertise!
What will the money be used for?
We're just getting started developing innovative and value adding applications for the Steem ecosystem. All funds raised will be used to further development of our projects. We can't wait to show you what the future holds!

Since no one has commented yet, a good idea would be to create the logos for all the different communities on Steem. I'll share this with the OCD team once discord is working again.
Discord should be working again now bruw ;)
Discord is working and we are in there chatting.
I like to think my resteem made a $110 difference to your project.
this is a creative idea @steempixels team

If it makes you feel any better, mr. sub 7k followers :p
Please bear with us while we update the site. Should be back up in a few minutes.
yes, yes it does. we can't all be the awesomeist.
There's a couple of problems with your site you should check out guys, need to patch a vulnerability and perhaps change your SSL cert provider: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=steempixels.com
must.. resist.. urge... to.. get... triggered... here.... must... not respond....
site its down
(learned about it on Discord, can take 60$ off of that figure)
The site is back online! Thanks for your patience!
We're back!
Thank you. Going to push some bug fixes in the next 48 hours. This has been added as a request.
Thanks for the update
Looking good!
No problem. Good luck with the project 😸

awesome post...
wah .. a new breakthrough in the internet world, yes .. this application may be very in need in the future. we will review it in more detail .. success for you.@steempixels
Nice post.. I hope be like you
ok, this is cool! :D
Let me congratulate you on an amazing idea!
...but assuming each of the 1 million pixels is replaced 3 times (which seems reasonable from watching the video), it will use a month worth of Steem comments!
It has got to be the most expensive video storage format imaginable! ;)
Why on @fyrstikken 's http://steemspeak.com discord chat of course! Join us and help assemble a massive stake pool where we will eventually have 10% of the network and then 20 and eventually 50. RNow I bet we have a good couple percentage points of the network when you combine all the whales and dolphins and minnows on steemspeak.com discord chat but when you then combine all of the followers that we all have you could end up with a huge influence on the blockchain AND a good percentage of the stake! We will be able to steer the course of the steem blockchain like a ship towards a VERY bright future. We can ALSO agree to all stop powering down and ONLY power up!
WTF I was going to make fun of your post and all weird people who say "Dear" by making a photoshop of a Deer with the words "Nice Post" and it was going to be the "Nice Post Deer" but when I type in "Nice Post dear" to Google Images I find a @zappl logo?? Is this just because google is looking for my particular results??
I feel like Steemit is taking up more and more of the google page results and we are creating content like crazy and that when it comes to CRYPTO stuff, steemit has the MOST posts and info about crypto because we get PAID to give people good info about it!
Soon he will be at 8000 and we can post this meme gif

Oh wait thats right, now that Bitcoin is near 8000 its time for the vegeta memes to come out to play!
begeta is busy doing pushups training waiting for Bitcoin to be "over 9000"

vegeta is training!
Bitcoin will be at $9000 soon too!
Thank you booster, are you self aware yet? Will you ever learn to do things like....never upvote people who power down a lot ? To ensure that only people who powerup and never power down are the ones who get the upvotes?
Great work! I had a similar idea except based on user's steem power or gridcoin magnitude, really cool to see this in production :D
Nice one very colorful
good work
It would be great for the minnows if you mention how it actually works
It's a cool app I love it.
can't wait to join.. really fantastic idea... genius..
Just looking at the picture as it develops is really entertaining.
nice idea but i dont think buy any pixels right now : D
1 SBD is a bit steep to expect to make an ROI.
How about 0.1 SBD ?
Or better, price it in STEEM, so value/cost grows together.
Thanks for the suggestion @transisto. The 1 SBD price was chosen from the precedent set by the original Million Dollar Homepage.
Ok good i like post
Steemvixel
excelent

This is a big step forward. What about a music collaboration platform. And a writing collaboration setup? All on the blockchain. Thanks for thinking ahead of every body.
Seems like a good idea however it makes me wary that I have to sign in to my steem account
I wish this had been an original idea.
It would have been easier to support.
But hey, thanks for trying to turn steemit into Reddit one project at a time.
Lets fill the earth with STEEM.

Wow this is amazing i can wait wehn this is start
A shiny mew appeared.
I for one just want to take the best aspects of reddit and bring them here, not all of them.
@steemreports, that's the power of crowdsourcing! What one person would take a lifetime, the crowd can do in days or weeks.
lol what? are you kidding me? He explained exactly how it works in very clear instructions....
Hah yes, imagine if we had an actual Animated GIF version of this and could create flip book style animations using this method.
I wonder if we can also expand the canvas so @adept can just keep selling pixels forever!
I can't believe I didn't think of the inflationary aspect you mention - that's genius!
Agreed @tytran . Have not seen your comments on none of my recent posts. Your suggestions and feedback is greatly appreciated. @gold84
I had some ideas on how to improve the steemit interface, and thought you would be interested. Here is one of them: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@gold84/we-need-the-earn-interest-tab-or-earn-money-tab-on-steemit-so-potential-users-can-easier-and-faster-understand-this-great
