That's amazing. We obviously can't copy him but we can use his unusual yet very successful line of thinking to create such a project. I'll be thinking about this... and would ask others to do so too. If you have any ideas at all please post them even if they don't seem brilliant. It's amazing how one persons average idea can be created into an instant success by others inputs.

I think the main reason why this was achieved is by the interest he caused along the way. I heard that a lot of people traded with him just for the pure enjoyment of being part of his website.

two other moneymaking geniuses would be: www.milliondollarhomepage.comslod every pixel for $1 each. www.pixelotto.comselling each pixel for $1 each, and users can register and click the ads, when all pixels are sold he chooses an ad at random and a person who clicked it at random and they win the $1,000,000. |

Ok the first problem we encounter is the restrictions for selling items on ebay. To create an ebay and paypal account the user must be at least 18. This is a problem as the age entered needs to match bank details. Maybe we should look to investing in a PO Box which costs roughly £1 per week. The PO BOX would allow postal payments and Donations. A huge step for the nation. I'll ask about it at my local post office on Monday.

It would tend to give it a way when I asked for them to give me the payment from their bank account
