We are aiming to bring mass adoption to, life but we need the help of cryptocurrency users outside of our standard Telegram group, we would like fresh eyes on the project and its possible flaws. I'm here to ask you to add any idea that can help us improve further. We already delivered a part of our product - our e-book store, and it's functioning great. With this in mind, I would like to explain what we plan to do.
The primary vision of the Project Book is a network of writers and their books, their DApp and their audience that functions flawlessly on a blockchain system, a fully decentralized, transparent publishing that will result in many satisfied writers, but also customers.
Some of the short-term goals (up to one year) of the Project Book are making sure that the Beta Book Network is stable. Later, creating the mainet Book Network, followed by the Book Network DApp that will make sort of a honeycomb of writers and customers who will use DApp to sell and buy published works.
Mid-term goals (one to five years) are successfully running the Network with as little lags as possible, providing assistance to exchanges that want to list our token, separating from TRON blockchain and building our own, helping writers manage around our DApp, raising awareness of our product — the Book Network, and being present in the vast market of cryptocurrencies.
Our long-term goals (longer than five years) are the complete adoption of Book ART, massive usage of ART token, the fully functional Network with thousands of writers and buyers and a place right next to some of the biggest online publishers, such as Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, Lulu, etc. But maybe the most important long-term goal is to help people realize what a true decentralization in publishing means.
Having the power in your own hands as a writer might just be the one needed step to being truly free to create.
That being said, we will accept all manuscripts and publish it for free. Writers can set their own price and they earn 100% of royalties in cryptocurrency. What does it mean for authors?
It's free to publish ALL literature. Including AUDIO books.
Fiction and nonfiction, in all genres. We will not ban any form or genre of literature — that’s what a real decentralization means. All censored authors are encouraged to join us and tell their story.
Project Book is also taking brave steps in bringing our vision to both the users of cryptocurrency and those beyond. In the steps we took to bring Project Book outside of the cryptocurrency realm, we contacted Gutenberg.
Project Gutenberg offers over 58,000 free eBooks. Users can choose among free epub and Kindle eBooks, download them or read them online. Some of the world’s great literature can be found here, with focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. Thousands of volunteers digitized and diligently proofread the books, for users’ enjoyment and education. Everything from Project Gutenberg is free and completely without cost to readers.
They are willing to allow Project Book to open a portal to their website, connect with the Book Network through Gutenberg’s API and bring it to another level — by rewarding readers in ART token.
This is not all, but for now I would like to know what anyone thinks we can improve. If this is not the place for me to post, please direct me to one.
Thank you!
