Guide to Minting Your House of Queens NFT
We realize that for many of our community members, the House of Queens mint will be the first NFT they ever mint! Minting can be confusing and we want to make the experience just a bit less stressful, so here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to mint on our House of Queens Website.
On February 16 at 8AM PST, an announcement will be posted in Discord announcing the start of our OG presale mint. If you are a confirmed presale participant, you will then be able to mint up to 5 House of Queens NFTs at any time between February 16 8AM PST through February 20 at 8:59 AM PT.
You have almost four full days to mint, and each person who has received a presale spot is guaranteed up to five NFTs minted. So, you can pick when you want to mint, depending on when the gas prices are lowest. However, our contract is optimized for low gas, so we expect the cost for gas fees to be low anyways!
On March 2nd at 9 AM PST, we will open up the public sale for House of Queens NFTs. This means that anyone can mint up to 5 House of Queens NFTs from our website, who did not already mint in the OG presale or presale period.
Step-by-step minting instructions for Presale:
1.Go to our website (https://www.houseofqueens.io/mint) and connect your wallet using the “Connect Wallet” button. After you click that button, you will see a pop-up from Metamask that will ask you to confirm connecting your wallet to the website. If you are minting in the OG Presale, please make sure you connect the wallet which you provided to us as your Presale wallet address.
2. If you are approved to mint in the presale, you will be able to then choose the quantity of House of Queens NFTs that you want to purchase, up to 5. After you choose the quantity, click “Mint” to initiate the transaction.
3. After you click mint, you will see another pop-up from Metamask where you will see the total cost of the transaction. Each NFT will cost 0.06 ETH + gas fees. The contract is optimized for lower gas fees than traditional mints. You can mint all 5 in one transaction, or you can do separate transactions, if you prefer. However, if you do separate transactions (i.e. one transaction for 2 NFT and one transaction for 3NFTs), you will need to pay gas fees twice and you are still limited to 5 total NFTs per wallet.
4. Click confirm in the MetaMask window to accept the transaction fees and process the mint. You will see a success notification if the mint is successful or an error message if the transaction fails.
5. If your transaction was successful, congrats! You are now the proud owner of a House of Queens NFT (or a few!). You will be able to see the pre-revealed video in your profile on Opensea.
Some FAQs we expect:
- Can I buy on Opensea if I am unable to mint?
Yes, but as soon as we launch the presale, we expect there to be scam collections popping up on Opensea. Please only use the official Opensea link that we share in Discord to buy any House of Queens NFTs on Opensea.
2. Can I use other wallets besides MetaMask?
The technology is built to support multiple wallets, but we recommend using MetaMask to be certain.
3. Why do all of the images look the same on Opensea?
When the mint first happens, all the image will show the same throughout the presale and for a short period after the public sale. We will have a super fun reveal party when we reveal all the artwork at the same time! That way, everyone can be surprised by who was lucky enough to mint the 1/1 rares (although, they’re all rare and unique!).
4. How many NFTs are being withheld from the mint for the team and giveaways?
There will be 200 reserved from the mint that will be distributed to the team, and to a few lucky community members who won free NFTs in the pre-launch period!
