when u make video about widgets? very interesting.

[@Wanderloots]

Is there a particular widget you're interested in learning more about? Would be happy to make a video on widgets 😊 I've just been spending some time building up the other aspects of my KZbin channel, but will start making more tutorials soon. If you have any other suggestions for videos you would find helpful, please let me know ✨

I have a collection of 99 pieces and airdropped 9 of them now I want to do a public mint with the remaining 90. They are all unique 1 of 1’s. Is there a way to make it so the public can’t see which one they will get and it is a random mint?

[@Wanderloots]

That's a great question! Yes, you can absolutely do that. It's a little more manual, but not that hard. You can create a claim page for the remaining 90 NFTs. The artwork you use is a placeholder image that will be the same across all 90 NFTs. You then run through the claim as you wish, each person mints the NFT (e.g., I got number 15). Then, you randomize the 90 images according to the token IDs, and upload the csv of image mapping to your Manifold and update the metadata of all 90 NFTs to "reveal" the random piece they minted. Hope that helps!

On "Who can claim" can you set a custom 30 collectors and if they don't buy all the 30 tokens you make the claim public? How does that work?

[@Wanderloots]

yes! Exactly. You can have it be an allowlist to start, where only a specific list of wallets are able to mint the claim page. You can then go in and edit the allow list to be open to the public after a set period of time. Hope that helps!

@@Wanderloots thank you! You helped really much! Thank you 🫂

My pleasure! So glad to hear it :)

[@MariaVittoriaSalvatori]

Hi, very useful thank you! So I can create a claim page only starting from a deployed contract. Is this right?

[@Wanderloots]

My pleasure! Happy to help. Yes that is correct. The claim page is an extension that gets minted onto your existing contract. You can think of it like plugging a new app into your contract so that your NFTs minted using the claim page can be traced back to your contract. I have a video that explains how to mint your contract in the description above 😊

[@MariaVittoriaSalvatori]

@@Wanderloots Thank you. I have other questions: when I deployed the contract the next step is to mint the nft linked to the contract or I create the claim page directly from the contract and then modify the NFT properties later? Do you know if it is possible to make the claim page link private, like only for those who received the link? Thank you :)

[@Wanderloots]

@@MariaVittoriaSalvatori once the contract is deployed to mainnet, you are able to mint NFTs from that contract. The claim page creates almost a template for an NFT, but does not actually mint anything to the blockchain. The "claimer" will be minting the NFT using the claim page. You can modify the properties of the NFT later, even once someone has minted the NFT. They would just need to refresh the metadata on, e.g., opensea, to see the changes. So the workflow is: deploy contract to mainnet, create claim page, publish claim page, give link to people to claim. You can make the claim page restricted to people who are on the allowlist, so you can select specific wallets that are only able to mint. I don't believe you can make the link private, but if you don't make the link publicly available, it would be hard for someone to stumble across it. So you can create the link and send it to a specific group of people and I think it should be fine. There is a chance that someone could come across the link, which is why the allowlist is more secure.

[@sayhellojordan2671]

Can you as contract owner mint tokens if it's before the start date that you set?

[@Wanderloots]

Yes! technically if it's open, anyone with the link would be able to mint the tokens. As long as you don't share the link, you can mint them yourself and then set the start date after that for when it will be opened to the public/to your allow list.

Good day, I want to place 10,000 nft. Is it possible to create a smart contract on manifold, and add to this contract with Opensea. I want erc-721, but there is no finance. I want free or minimal

[@Wanderloots]

I am not sure what you mean sorry. I think you are asking about lazy minting (where the buyer pays the mint price). This is something that can be added as an extension to the manifold contract. I recommend reaching out in the forum to get more details: forum.manifold.xyz/

[@TrampOfTheWorld]

And how to delete it? There is no such possibility in the Manifold

[@Wanderloots]

Hmm no I don't believe you can. Why would you want to? You can always end the claim date and make the page obsolete.
