Would it not have been better, if you posted say...the first chapter as a teaser and people could decide if they want to read the rest of the book? It would eventually end up on a torrent, and everyone will read it for

free. I would have posted it online for free, and ask people to donate as they see fit. You would be amazed at how generous people could be, if they felt that they are being given something with value for FREE.

I would easily pay $1 for the book, but I would pay more as a donation... if it was a good read. Wink

I would read it if it was free, and if I enjoyed it and found it to be factual I'll send you $2.

And if I thought it was really good I'd send the full $10 and post a detailed review.

You really think such an endeavor would be more profitable if set to free? You think it a good idea to lean on donations?

Based on what I have seen thus far, human behaviour treats something they have paid for as more valuable = more people will actually read it if they have given something up for it.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups Wink

Hehe well then, I guess humanity is going down the drain, both science and religion would not exist without assumptions Grin

Given the context (nature of the offering, posted on a crypto forum), logic dictates, one of the most basic things the op should be clear about is whether BTC is an accepted method of payment. To expect people to find that out for themselves does not make sense because this is a promotion and you'd want people to already be in possession of that piece of knowledge before they make a decision.

One of the main reasons we are doing this promotion is to test our bitcoin payment integration.

So far so good!

I think you'd find a lot more people interested in buying your book for $1 if they could pay using Bitcoin, especially on here.

You can!

I'm not familiar with the website you're using, I imagine you have to use a card for the purchase?

Give it a try, you can pay with Bitcoin. I think it's even the default option (as it should be, it makes more sense than any other payment method).

Yeah, whats the point of making a Bitcoin book if you are going to sell it with the regular currency? To help Bitcoin usage if not exclusively sold on BTC I would at least accept BTC payments, just set an address, dont even need Bitpay.

The book is available for purchase with bitcoin.

If you are curious as to what the book entails. Read an excerpt here: Bitcoin Will End the Nation State

How can we know what we are getting? In physical libraries you can open the book and see what you are getting, with digital books you never know.

Because if you weren't a spammer looking to get paid for your paid signature, you would look that at the site you can take a look at a few pages.

Why it asks me to fill my name and family name and phone number when I try to checkout ? I'am using Bitcoin as payment method so logically it shouldn't ?

If you pay with Bitcoin, you can fill in a random bogus name, and perhaps even a random bogus email (or a temporary disposable address like [email protected]) as you're getting the book as a download link in the order process.
