SATS WORLDS - Own a piece of bitcoin history

Who

In the spirit of Satoshi, and publicly owning Bitcoin being a physical risk where I live, just call me Anon.

Why

I dreamed of owning a piece of the world, not for power, but to show that anyone, even a kid from a small town in a country where he is fortunate to have a computer and internet access, could participate in a global community. Bitcoin represented freedom and potential to me. I want to spread the message about this freedom and show that through technology, we could all own a piece of our dreams. I want to prove that wealth isn't just about money, but about the dreams we share across borders.

As much as I can benefit from selling the satohis I get from this site, I hope to never have to and someday pass it on to my future children. Being that all the country addresses are public, you can track if I move any coins.

What

A simple website that allows you to "buy" a country with Bitcoin and own a piece of internet history. Owner gets to display a 250 character message, an image file to be used as country's background, and a website link. This website will be hosted forever, starting with GitHub and when GitHub goes belly up, I'll find another host.

How

What you will need:

Bitcoin
GitHub Account

Three easy steps:

Click a country on the map (or from the COUNTRY LIST)
Click on Buy Now button and send satoshi with your GitHub username as OP_RETURN value
Create a pull request modifying countries.sats.json to include your message, link url, and upload photo in the comments of pull request.

For more detailed steps, click on any available country.

PS: Please try not to buy a lot of countries - give others an opportunity to contribute.

Click the "Buy Now" button (or send 1234 sats to "bc1234") and using a wallet that supports OP_RETURN, add your github username. Double check that your username matches exactly - this will be used to verify ownership claim!

Once the transaction is confirmed, following the below steps to add your image and personal message link:

Create pull request

Navigate to the countries.sats.json file and fork & commit changes to the country you purchased as follows:

Compare & pull request

Click on "Compare & Pull Request" option and in the "Description" field paste/drag and drop/upload your map picture - your image will be formatted to a web friendly format/size when it goes live. OR If you would like to see what it looks like, you can upload image file (name of the file should be {countryID.jpg}) to the 'country-images' folder and run it locally on your computer.
It's alive!

Once your pull request is reviewed and merged, your ownership information will appear on the site for the world to see forever!
