The Billboard - A decentralised billboard stored in Ethereum as a NFT

by•
In The Billboard a text is recorded in the blockchain forever and it's displayed in The Billboard NFT (at least until someone pays more than you). The metadata is generated on chain, so even if the website stops working the token will always survive.

Hello, PH! Today I'm presenting you The Billboard. It’s an ever changing 1/1 NFT and a #Web3 app that interacts with it. I think it’s uniquely going against a lot of trends in the NFT world. 1️⃣ Ever changing content. The Billboard is designed to be changed. You never know what the NFT will show, and that’s exciting. 2️⃣ A global collaborative experience. Anyone can be a part of it and choose its text even if they don’t own the NFT. What will the community want to display in it? Will The Billboard be political? Satirical? Rude? Funny? Will it be shilling projects like 99% of Discord messages? 3️⃣ History is written in the blockchain. What the NFT displays is always changing, but every text that The Billboard will ever show is stored forever, and no one can remove that. You can always find what others wrote before and how much they paid to do it. 4️⃣ NFT as a direct key to a balance If The Billboard were a IRL business we would say that the NFT is its only share. The NFT owner can’t change what it displays but can manage the contract balance withdrawing its funds directly using the contract. 5️⃣ Fully decentralized and on chain. I created an app to modify its text but everything can be done interacting with the contract https://etherscan.io/address/0x1... It’s also generated and stored on chain, so if the website dies the image can be checked and updated with the contract.
