I am open to recommendations on a platform to make Broken Money easily buyable with sats, either print+ebook or just ebook (since I won’t be handling physical shipping).

Let me know some of the best ways to proceed and I’ll look into them.

This first round is print books on Amazon, which is done. Next in the queue is the kindle version which should be available within a week or so.

And then the audiobook will come out. It’s in development but it takes time.

In parallel with the audiobook, I will be working to have it available in print in Barnes and Noble and other bookstores.

And I will figure out a way to make it buyable in sats. As I said, I am open to suggestions on the best way to do that. Any books I happen to sell in person will of course be buyable with cash or sats.

And then depending on sales figures, I will be looking into translation options.

All of the profits from the first thousand copies sold (about $5 per book) will go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund.

And for those for whom the book price is a burden or distribution is an issue, perhaps because they live in countries where the money is most broken, I invite them to pirate it.

The simplest option would probably just be an LNbits instance with a plugin and put a direct download link behind their paywall link. Share that paywalled link and anyone can purchase the download for a certain amount of sats. Looking forward to it!

I think the opennode API is fantastic if you wanted to use that right with your website. Other thing with that though is who would then ship your books, etc, but if that was sorted then should integrate fine with like opennode + woocomerce for your website

Another option is to write a bot that sends DM to whoever zaps this note certain amount of sats. The DM will have a link to the ebook. Then we have to change the URL of the ebook time to time to avoid mass pirating. The bot should whitelist good lightning wallet providers to avoid fake zap notes t...

Nostr would be a cool option. On the WBD pod recently they were talking about such functionality, including a few names of some teams looking at just that. Digital only. How about in the printed version an option to send some sats which contributes to some fund which is used to gift the book other...

Well Lyn. I am interested in your book. I have read some of your articles. So I will wait for this one. I live in a country with a super broken currency xD (The hyperinflationary Venezuelan Bolivar). I will wait for an option to come out to be able to have the ebook and pay with Sats. Value for valu...

#LNbits has a #Nostr market you can use to sell your book directly on Nostr. https://yeghro.site/2023/08/12/the-nostr-market/

Call me a far right extremist, but I think information should be free and copyright laws should be a thing of the past. "Intellectual property" are, after all, mere ideas and no one can "own" ideas. Glad to hear you are at least inviting less fortunate people to pirate it. Also perhaps consider ...

"Invite them to pirate it" AWESOME! I can afford it so I would buy it but for those who really can't afford it I think this is an awesome thing.

Regarding your text “Any books I happen to sell in person will of course be buyable with cash or sats”, will you be signing and selling those books?

Maybe you can sell it by yourself and avoid to pay selling fees 😊 you can add a form to your page and use lnurlpay service to receive sats and the email in the comment field, so your can send the ebook there. Something like this as an example with my lightning address: 🔗 https://www.lnurlpay.c...
