#NFT これは小説だ。この冒頭部は十年前に書かれ競売にかけられた。落札者が決まるとその人物が小説の続きに登場し、話は先に進んだ。そしてまた売りに出されると次の落札者が登場し、さらにそのまた次の落札者が登場し…そうやって小説は成長し、今遂に完結に至った。話を戻そう。最初の落札者の名は
2021-04-17 00:25:37#NFT This is a novel. The first part was written ten years ago and was auctioned off. When the winning bidder was chosen, that person appeared in the rest of the novel, and the story moved on. And when it was put up for sale again, the next bidder appeared, and the next, and the next, and so on... The novel grew, and now it is finally complete. Let's go back to the story. The first bidder's name was

@CryptoKoala555氏だった。そして雪玉は転がり始めた。だが「並行世界」の人々は考えた。この第一落札者は果たして購入したツイートをすぐにまた競売に出品してくれるだろうかと。その判断は@CryptoKoala555氏一人に委ねられていた。つまりこの人次第でこのプロジェクトは絶命することになるわけだが
2021-04-24 00:20:21@CryptoKoala555. And the snowball started rolling. But the people of the "parallel world" had an idea. Would this first bidder be willing to auction off his tweet again soon? That decision was up to one person, @CryptoKoala555. So, depending on this person, the project was doomed,

@w_cat氏のもとへとツイートは無事に手渡され、物語はさらに進んだ。そして進むにつれ、裏側に秘められた仕掛けも明らかになっていくのだった。そうこれは購入者の全てが登場人物になる「本」なのだ。当然、登場人物の全ては実在の人間であった…と同時に、もう一つの世界にも、彼らは存在していた。
2021-05-01 21:37:44but the tweet was safely handed over to @w_cat and the story went on. As the story progressed, the hidden mechanism behind the project was revealed. Yes, this is a "book" in which every purchaser becomes a character. Naturally, all of the characters are real people... but at the same time, they exist in another world as well.

この宇宙とは別のとある並行世界に、分身たちは存在していた。たとえばこちら側に存在する@ENN氏と同じ@ENN氏が、あちら側にも存在していたのだ。彼らの目的とは、量子通信を使ってこちら側にアクセスすることだった。その方法が一つだけあった。電子メディア上の、変異し続ける「小説」への干渉だ。
2021-05-12 13:02:36The alter egos existed in a parallel world other than this one. For example, @ENN, the same @ENN who exists on this side existed on the other side. Their goal was to use quantum communication to access our side. There was only one way to do that. It's an interference with the ever-mutating "novel" on electronic media.

Tweet Sales Page
This is an auction style sale. However, since the bids have become high, it is rarely auctioned off by more than one person. It has simply become a situation where the owner decides whether to accept or not based on the bid amount.

#NFT ツイッターとNFTを使って長編小説を作り上げようという試みです。このツイートは2031年4月17日に完成「した」小説の冒頭部分です。これをオークションに出します。もし誰か落札してくれたら実験はスタート。小説は当該ツイートへのリプライの形で伸長していきます。 v.cent.co/tweet/13830791… twitter.com/kozysan/status…
2021-04-17 00:35:33#NFT This is an attempt to create a full-length novel using Twitter and NFT. This tweet is the first part of a novel that will be "finished" on April 17, 2031. I'm putting it up for auction. If someone wins the auction, the experiment will start. The novel will grow in the form of replies to the tweet.

I think the NFT resale trail itself is very literary. I realize there I can create a whole new style of STORY. #NFT #NFTnovel twitter.com/w_cat/status/1…

A more detailed explanation
1. a novel linking NFT and Twitter
There was a news story once about a tweet being sold for a high price.
The first-ever tweet sold as an NFT for $2.9 million
In the same way, using the NFT system, the first tweet of the "Body text" summarized at the beginning was sold.
The person who wins the bid for this tweet can resell this tweet through the regular function of the selling website. To be precise, the author, Kozy Watanabe, says he wants you to resell it.
The text of the novel will be added by the reply function of Twitter each time this tweet is resold. Imagine a book where the pages are turned one by one each time it is resold.
You can check the resale history on the sales page. Since blockchain technology is used, these cannot be forged or tampered with.
...
2. the novel will be completed in 10 years
Another major point is that the completion date of the story is fixed.
As mentioned in the tweet above, to borrow the author's words, this novel will be "finished" on April 17, 2031. The author, Kozy Watanabe, has declared that he will continue this project for 10 years as long as resale is confirmed.
How many additions (resale of tweets) will be made in 10 years?
If the first bidder stops there, there will be three complete tweets: "the first tweet," "the first successful sale tweet," and "the concluding tweet (which will be written regardless of the transfer, right?) The first tweet, the second tweet, and the concluding tweet (isn't this what you write regardless of the transfer?) will be the complete novel.
If there are 1,000 tweets, it will be a full-length novel with a maximum of 140 characters per tweet x 1,000 tweets = 14,000 characters.
Let's see where this novel is going with everyone's help!
