Writers
ReadCoin for authors: mint the book as an NFT, keep pricing, and earn on every resale instead of a one-time advance.
Introduction
ReadCoin turns writers into independent micro-publishers. Traditional publishing takes pricing power and pays fractional royalties. There is no claim on the secondary life of the work. Here the book is minted as an NFT, royalties run on a contract, and community sits on ownership.
Four revenue streams: primary sales, resale royalties, tips and unlocks, and community. Gatekeepers drop to zero. Ownership of the work stays with the writer.

The problem
Write once, get paid once,
watch the work live somewhere else.
Publishing is gatekept. Writers surrender pricing and take a fraction. There is no claim on resale, and no direct reader relationship. The work cannot be tokenized, so there is no perpetual royalty stream.
Onboarding
Verification before the mint, in plain language
Onboarding and verification explain minting, royalties, and community before anyone publishes a first edition.
Mint
The book as an owned NFT, not a file on a platform
Writers publish directly with full pricing control. Smart-contract royalties run on every resale. The edition is an asset, not a listing that expires.

Community is tied to book ownership. Marketplace visibility, controlled rewards, and NFT-gated clubs keep the reader economy next to the writer dashboard.

The same clarity on the writer side as the reader side

I priced the book, minted it, and I still get paid when it sells again. That is a different job than hoping for a reprint.
