Blockchain writer? Possibilities of NFT Fiction

After reading two "Fiction and Poetry Collection" NFT versions, and talking about NFT and NFT publications , how can I sell a poem collection at NT$6,300? After a very enlightening article, I was thinking about the possibility of listing novels with NFTs. Think of a few advantages,

1. A lot of people : It is a good option to go to a place with a lot of people for self-published anonymously.

2. Platform features : Although digital graphic art is the mainstream according to OpenSea's top rankings in the past 30 days, NFT has always had new ways to play, and there are various art forms on the shelves, including music, card (game), sports stars Cards, manuscripts, 3D, videos, and more.

3. There are precedents to follow : According to this article , writer Blake Butler completed the novel Decade in 2008. Due to the complex structure and concise language of the novel, and the lack of marketability, it has not been published. Until February this year, NFTs were discussed from Twitter to the New York Times. Bulter had an idea. He made a picture of quickly browsing the novel document. The GIF was put on the shelves, and that night, the work was sold for 5 ETH, and now it is almost 115,000 Taiwan dollars . See the NFT link for details.

Once you have the motivation, think about how to act. When it comes to NFT, not only OpenSea platform , Taiwan also has Oursong , you can also use the one-stop platform Mirror.xyz ( this article has a detailed introduction), and finally use OpenSea for several reasons,

• At present, Oursong can only be put on the shelves with mobile phones. When he is old, he wants to use computers.
• Mirror.xyz requires ether to make NFTs.
• There is no fee for listing on OpenSea.

After choosing a platform, the next step is to overcome the biggest problem of OpenSea: the display is mainly pictures, which is not easy to read.

Referring to the idea of the person who cooks snow, I want to put the content in the "Reveal unlockable content" section (see this article for the operation method), as long as you buy and sell it, you can see the whole work. But novels with thousands or tens of thousands of words are inconvenient to read in this section, so what should we do?

Finally, I decided to upload the novel as a PDF to IPFS (a decentralized storage method), and put the link in the "Reveal unlockable content" section. In fact, all of us who upload articles on Matters are using IPFS. You can go to any of your public articles to find the public node and open the link to see it.

• Step 1 : Click on the distributed entry

• Step 2 : Select any public node and open the link.

You can see this type of layout.

If you are a bit lazy, you can upload Matters and put IPFS nodes in the "Reveal unlockable content" block, or you can download IPFS software and upload files like me.

• Step 1 : Go to the official website to download the software.
• Step 2 : Click "File" > "Import".

• Step 3 : Select "Share Link"

Do you feel that Matters is a lot more convenient to upload articles, and also do a good job of typesetting. After completing the node, you can make a picture and put it on the shelf! My finished product is as follows:

• OpenSea link: click me .
• Full text of Matters' novel: click me .

So happy that the three NFT novels on the shelves sold out over the weekend ! They are all friends of Matters, the little queen Ding Wang bows 90 degrees to thank you🥰🥰🥰

postscript:

Originally, I wanted to upload the novel on Arweave. I heard that Arweave is safer to save, but I was judged as a robot because I didn’t have an active Twitter account. I was unhappy, so I wrote to Arweave, and I didn't expect to receive an immediate reply.

If you get certified, you can get an AR coin and start uploading. I think it may be that the AR coin is soaring now, so the official is more strict, and I am still convincing Sophie that I am a real person, but it is understandable if it fails.

The point! ! ! A quick way to upload Arweave to IPFS in one go is ISCN. It can be seen in this article DePub Classroom: Demonstration of blockchain publishing , with detailed teaching, it is really simple, just run the Kelpr wallet, and then go to the ISCN interface, just click to complete.

• My ISCN: Click me .
• For less than a few cents of LikeCoin, you will have a beautiful QR code.

• The best part is that Arweave+IPFS super-secure two-point storage is just a click away.
