Blayne's Collection of NFTs drops Feb. 9th at 6pm EST. Here are instructions for how to set up your wallet and buy the NFTs.

BUYING TEZOS, and an intro to Gas and Wallets

You’re going to need to buy Tezos so you have the currency in order to buy NFTs. 

You’re going to have to create an account on an exchange. 

Easiest to do this on Coinbase, both you and I will get $10 if you use this link.

Buy XTZ directly by finding Tezos on the list of cryptocurrencies and then clicking the “Buy” button and using your bank account/debit card to fund the transaction.

Every blockchain requires a transaction fee to go through and it’s called “gas,”

Gas fees for Tezos in general are super low..( part of why we chose tezos for the drop) so factor that in as well as any exchange fees you might be charged.

CREATING A Temple WALLET

Create a wallet - go directly to templewallet.com 

Click Install.  Choose your browser. Add extension.

Click the + icon to make a “New Wallet.”

Create Password. Click seed phrase.

Once you do, you’ll be prompted to write down your “Seed Phrase” 

This 12 word phrase is your password THAT YOU CANNOT LOSE.

I don’t care how you record it, but you need to keep this super secure. 

No one will ever get in, there is no customer support to “lost password” for this.

I made a choice, now what?

At this point, you should be at a screen that just has the word “Accounts” on the top, and a long alphanumeric string, starting with Tz. Similar to the one you got for your Coinbase wallet!

This is your wallet’s address.

CONNECTING YOUR WALLET TO OBJKT.COM

Okay, now, navigate over to objkt.com, and in the upper right hand corner, you’re gonna wanna click the letters “sync.”

You should see a pop-up that says Temple wallet.

Accept, and the pop-up should vanish.

Moving XTZ to your Temple Wallet

Alright, now you’ve got your Coinbase wallet, you’ve got your Temple Wallet, and now you’ve got everything hooked up to Objkt.com also.

Go to your Temple wallet tab, and click the little copy icon to copy the address of your wallet. 

Return to your exchange in a new tab and click “Send / Receive” at the top right of your screen on Coinbase.

Paste the Temple address we just copied into the ‘To’ recipient box.

Where the big “0.00” you enter the amount you wish to transfer, or you can hit “Send all” to just move all the XTZ you have in that wallet.

For the ‘Pay with’ field you want to make sure it’s set to ‘Tezos’ (XTZ).
