Losing money in GAS WARS sucks. 😤

Here's a tutorial on HOW TO STOP. ⬇️
Once you hit 'MINT' via the project website, Metamask pops up with the DEFAULT transaction settings loaded.

STEP #1: Immediately hit 'EDIT'.
STEP #2: Hit the 'FAST' gas option.

🚨 Note: For heavily hyped drops, this will NOT be fast enough. It just sets up the gas for the next step - read on.
STEP #3: Then hit 'ADVANCED'
STEP 4: Adjust the 'GAS PRICE'. What you select here depends on the degree of hype surrounding the drop.

You will learn through experimentation, but ⬆️ by 50-80 GWEI is usually safe.

🚨 NEVER TOUCH GAS LIMIT 🚨
STEP #5: Hit 'ACTIVITY' to see your pending transaction.

If it doesn't go through SOON, proceed ⬇️.

STEP #6: Hit 'SPEED UP' which takes you back to STEP 4. Increase the gas price even further.
If you transaction still doesn't confirm quickly, you need to increase the gas again.

Unfortunately the 'SPEED UP' button is gone.☹️

STEP #7: CLICK ON the transaction top open up a dialog box. At the bottom you'll find another 'SPEED UP' button.

Repeat as above.
HOORAY - you should have successfully minted your NFT. 🥳🎉

• Retweet so that your friends don't lose money.

P.S. 10k laughing Chihuahuas dropping soon. 🤣

Some thoughts on making the best of an NFT Bear Market:
With the recent slew of rugs, fake hype, WL olympics and tired derivatives there seems to be a collective fatigue in the space

It’s a great time to do a lot, but mindlessly minting new projects for a flip sadly isn’t one of them!

So what could we do?
Make high-conviction plays:

With floor prices down across the board, it’s a great time to move into projects that you're bullish on

These should be ones with:
✅ consistent growth and value to support their price
✅ a strong team and passionate community

❌ NOT the latest PnD

Total Fee for a Tx is now a combination of
• BASE FEE - set by NETWORK itself

➡️ Total Fee = Base fee + Priority fee

Project launches can FAIL in MANY WAYS. It helps to be prepared! 🦾

Thread: How to LEVEL UP your contract WRITE skills
Reasons TO DO this:

1. Sometimes websites crash/ stall at launch - this lets you bypass them.

2. It's technically faster (takes 1 less step).

3. Feel like a boss (BAD REASON - would not advise!).

NOTE: 🚨This is an advanced skill, don't use unnecessarily 🚨
Reasons to NOT do this:

1. Almost all mint functions DON'T protect you from overpaying for an NFT.

2. If all else goes well, you generally don't need to.
