Rob Dixon commented on NooSpace

It’s official: NooSpace has become the first science fiction novel with its own cryptocurrency!

In the book, the virtual world is powered by a Bitcoin-like currency called NooCash that’s used to buy and sell goods, services, and real estate in VR.

Now, NooCash is “real.” I have created it as a token on the Ethereum platform. That means that if you have an online wallet that supports Ethereum, you can collect and send NooCash.

Now, everyone who pre-orders NooSpace on Inkshares will get free NooCash as a reward! It’s a fun thank you gift for all you existing supporters too. Look for an email with more details in a day or two.

What is NooCash good for? Not much. Yet.

Frankly, it has no cash value today, and there’s a chance that it never will.

But it’s still worth your while, for many reasons:

  • If you’ve never used cryptocurrency before, this is an easy way to start. A pre-order gets you free NooCash! It’s not as scary as Bitcoin or Ether. :)
  • In the future, you might be able to cash in your NooCash for real stuff, like NooSpace-themed goods, new ebooks, digital downloads, or product discounts.
  • There are grander plans afoot to provide even more uses for NooCash. It might even help fund a real VR game based on NooSpace. More news soon!

In one sense, NooCash is like a reward points system. When you order the book you get points (NooCash) that you could use to select gifts in the future.

More details about this giveaway are here on my blog site. Here’s my official Twitter announcement too -- please like or retweet it if you can.

I’m still giving away free real estate in VR to a lucky reader too.  

The world of NooSpace is becoming real, one step at a time. Thanks again for your support!

Rob

P.S. Here’s the reward structure:

  • Virtual Reader (1 eBook) =>; 50 NooCash
  • Real World Reader (1 paperback) =>; 100 NooCash
  • Super Awesome Reader (3 paperbacks) =>; 300 NooCash

    Rob Dixon liked an update for Rune of the Apprentice

    RUNE’s Two Year Crowdfunding Anniversary and a New Crowdfunding Campaign is Live!

    Hello fellow Apprentices and Masters! I just got back from Baltimore Comic Con where we celebrated the 2 year anniversary of our first RUNE Booth! It was also Freya’s very first Comic Con this weekend, and yes, she is sporting a “Straight Outta Asgard” shirt! #WinningAtParenting ?

    So wild, just over two years ago we started this whole crowd funding thing, and you all have been with us every step of the way! What a trip it has been! Even as I type these words, I can hear Becca and Freya laughing in the other room! From the bottom of my heart I thank you! The picture below (my first booth ever!) makes be both smile and cringe, but I have learned a lot, and look forward to many more books, booths—and maybe—babies :) But I digress...

    I wish to thank all of you for making Rune of the Apprentice possible. If reading it gave you even a fraction of the joy I had writing it, then I consider it a wild success! In that vein, I also would like to humbly request that you leave RUNE a quick review on Amazon by clicking here or by going to www.RuneOfTheApprentice.com It will only take you a moment and will ensure that I can publish many more books in the future—both sequels AND prequels! 

    Which leads me to my next crowdfunding project called The Last Amazon and it just went LIVE! Yes, you heard right, on the 2 year anniversary of starting my crowdfunding campaign for Rune of the Apprentice I launched the crowdfunding campaign for The Last Amazon, an Epic Graphic Art Novel on Kickstarter! Yay! Go check it out by clicking here!


    Fear not, fans of RUNE, for The Last Amazon is a prequel to RUNE and The Rune Chronicles. This story arc not only shows how a desperate human race got from a broken earth to the technologically majestic world of Terra, but also chronicles the birth of Terra’s creator, Numen Consciousness! I am excited beyond words for this book and so proud to be partnered up with David Granjo, illustrator extraordinaire! He is a truly magnificent artist, and now, dear friend! 

    David and I have so many awesome things planned for this 96 page, 9 x 12 Landscape "Graphic Novel!" Art of this caliber deserves nothing less than the highest quality of inks, printing, hardcover, and care, something which Inkshares is unable to do. To learn more about this epic project click here or go to www.TheLastAmazon.com. If you want to bring this epic near-future sci-fi graphic novel to life, please back it now!

    Again, our Kickstarter is now LIVE and taking pledges! How awesome! We are so excited to share more info about The Last Amazon with you in the coming days, so stay tuned. For now I will leave you with these awesome action illustrations below and give you this warning—the fall of liberty is upon us! Beware! To learn more go to www.TheLastAmazon.com

    Please support my new book today at www.TheLastAmazon.com THANK YOU!
