Title: Is it possible do create a P2P Book? Post by: yelllowsin on July 27, 2014, 02:12:31 PM I was wondering, is it possible to create a book using the ideas of cryptocurrencies? I have been reading about Bitcoin and i know it is possible to send messages in transactions. More recently i have found out that with NXT you cand send around 1000 bytes of any data, which would be stored in the blockchain and could work like a message chat or something else.
It just came to me that knowledge has been destroyed along the eras and mostly modified to fit the ideas of the current era. Also the knowledge that is not digitally stored can be lost forever and everything on internet changes along the time, so information is not really kept forever in its original form. I imagined a voting system for this book so only relevant information would be stored in it (common sense). It could not increase dramatically of course. Could a searching system scale on blockchain?

Most books have very few sales, and the sales of books are driven by the author, who stands from profiting when sales are higher.
If a book were to be published in this fashion then no one would be able to take credit for the book, nor would one person reap the rewards from the success of the book, therefore no one would try to promote the book. Hence the book would be a failure no matter how "good it is. |
