7 years ago I think that a cryptocurrency/blockchain backed place clone would be pretty damn cool.
There's a couple ways it could work..
- Token balance = Available 'Ink' per 24hrs
- Burn tokens against individual pixels, highest quantity of tokens burnt = the winning bid/pixel.
- Assigned Ink based on individual BOINC project magnitude (no team-req, no backing token)
- Assigned Ink based on total mag within GRC network.
HM: anyone following r/place on reddit.... bitcoin has their logo on it, GRC should also.
EY: HM looks like the 1mio pixel thinggy from a few years ago (see: The Million Dollar Homepage) EY: never understood why people would pay for that, since it's forgotten afterwards CM: Now.. If you were allocated ink based on your magnitude... CM: Balance | mag HM: that would be interesting CM, how place worked is that you got to place 1 tile every X minutes (where X ranged from 3 minutes to 20 minutes but ended up being 5 minutes for the past day or so) HM: Here is one of the time lapses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppwXdt6CTR4 M: HM: Interestin' concept community artform .. can we not do one for gridcoin? HM: Topped out at over 100K concurrent users but most of the time fluctuated between 40K and 80K users. HM: Well, M if place was still going that was what I was going to propose but it just ended (did not realize when I posted here)... it was still active 3 hours ago HM: The heatmap of the activity is really cool also: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/632bqp/rplace_activity_animated_heatmap_oc/ M: HM: We have to do something like that for gridcoin .. any idea how it could be done, beyond me .. heatmap would work for us using maybe crunching credits .. M: or Por .. HM: Interesting idea M but I have no idea how... some sort of visualization might be need... especially heatmaps showing the activity on the whitelist projects HM: may have to challenge the folk in r/dataisbeautiful to come up with something GN: If you had access to host ips you could use geolocation and overlay the visualization on an actual map... M: HM: It certainly would be a fascinating experiment we have the data so we should do something visual with it .. from netdata maybe I know some people are playing with that .. could be a heatmap of the world ..
