RE: I'm Brad Vance, gay romance author, blockchain enthusiast, and I’m stoked about Steemit and its potential for creatives!

Fantastic to see you here, Brad! :D One thought I've been toying with re: publishing my books directly to the blockchain is the fact that you can't ever totally delete something from a blockchain, and whether or not that would end up being problematic if I do want to strategically use Kindle Unlimited with it's annoying exclusivity clause. I think it would be hard for their bots to find the book if you "delete it" from the blockchain. My understanding is you can make it so people can't see it, but it's still technically there. What are your thoughts?

Hmm that's true; I also know I never find all the typos until I narrate my book, and I'm always reposting titles with corrections and back matter updates, so that would be problematic too, having multiple versions forever out there. I'm still learning about smart contracts, which you could use to automate sales and delivery, and you could set to terminate every 90 days, replacing it with a link to a new contract or none / no link if you go into KU again. The book is still out there but termination of the smart contact leaves it on the chain but inaccessible... This is all theory of course. Thanks for making that point!
