BuyMeBlocks

A wall anyone can paint, by the pixel

BuyMeBlocks is one shared wall of 1,000 × 1,000 pixels. Anyone can claim a spot and put their art on it, and anyone can paint over it later. Nothing stays forever, so the wall is never finished.

The wall right now.

How it works

  1. Upload your art. Every image is checked before it can go on the wall.

  2. Pick a spot and place it. One credit buys one pixel, so a 10 × 10 block costs 100 credits. A placement comes with 24 hours of protection.

  3. Keep it up, or let it go. Renew your protection, or let others protect your art for you. When protection runs out, anyone can paint over it at the base price.

The rules of the wall

  • Credits, not money. You load credits once and spend them on the wall. $1 buys 100 credits, and bigger bundles add bonus credits.
  • Painting over protected art costs more. A placement is replaced whole, so you cover all of it, and you pay the base price plus whatever protection is left. That refund goes to whoever paid for it. Nobody loses what they paid for.
  • Shields are earned by spending. One on your placement stops the next attempt to paint over it, and the challenger pays a challenge fee for trying.
  • Moving. You can move your own placement. Into empty space it's free once. Onto other art, you pay their refunds plus a 25% takeover fee.

Nothing is lost

Every change is kept. Replay the whole story of the wall, or open the Stacks to see where the paint is thickest and who painted each block, layer by layer.

A wall for everyone

The wall is public, so uploads are screened and anyone can report a placement. Read the terms and the privacy policy.
