Show HN: Million Dollar Deeds – Own permanent digital land

1•coldsundaynight•1h ago

Hi HN,

I built Million Dollar Deeds as an experiment in digital ownership.

The idea is simple: anyone can purchase a permanent “lot” on a global visual map of digital real estate. Each purchase generates a unique AI-designed home and an official digital deed recorded in a public registry.

There are only 100,000 lots available, and once sold they cannot be recreated or resold.

I was curious about what true digital permanence might look like outside of domains or NFTs, and wanted to create something accessible and visual rather than speculative.

Would love feedback from the community — especially on the concept, implementation, and potential future directions.

Good luck with the grift.

That’s fair skepticism. It’s not meant as an investment or financial product, more an experiment around digital permanence and whether a simple, long-lived registry can acquire meaning over time if it remains consistent and scarce.

1M Pixel was at least art

Second Life - at least you can play around virtually in that 'real estate'

This? Just seems like you get a jpeg.

That’s a fair take.

The image itself isn’t really the point, it’s more a visual representation of a registry entry. The experiment is about whether a single persistent, scarce digital land registry could gain meaning over time, similar to how domains or social handles did.

Whether that ever happens is exactly the question I’m curious about.
