Not sure what Ordinals and Inscriptions are? start here.

If you are an artist who wants to explore Bitcoin mining, you need to do a few things. WARNING this is complicated and we are not responsible for any mistakes you make.

Create a new BTC wallet

First, you should start with a BTC wallet. The consensus seems to revolve around the sparrow wallet. For the following reasons.

To ensure proper display and handling of ordinary inscriptions, it is recommended to use a new and unused address to receive the inscription. This helps ensure that the address only contains ordinary and no other associated bitcoins. Using a new address also makes the wallet “forward compatible” with future developments in ordinal inscription handling.

To create a new and unused address, you can use a Bitcoin wallet like Sparrow and follow the quick setup guide provided. It is important to note that this wallet should not be used to send bitcoins unless manual coin selection is performed to avoid sending verbatim as a payment or fee. To fully utilize the benefits of ordinary inscriptions, the wallet should also be set up with Taproot-based addresses, which can still receive bitcoins from traditional Segwit addresses.

Gamma seems to be the easiest way to make NFTs at this point. The steps are seamless.

This is not a sponsored post, but Gamma makes it easy for you to create Bitcoin NFTs Ordinal Inscriptions.

Gamma introduces no-code ordinal inscriptions for anyone with a Bitcoin (BTC) address. The company aims to make the process of creating inscriptions simple and user-friendly.

To achieve this goal, Gamma handles four key aspects of the inscription creation process:

Image optimization: Gamma accepts all image formats and optimizes it for better quality and faster processing.
Creation of inscriptions: Customers can provide any image or text to be inscribed, and Gamma takes care of the rest. There is no need for complex software or running a node. Gamma also provides direct charge rate information to help customers make an informed decision about the cost of their inscription.
Inscription delivery: Inscriptions are sent directly to the customer’s Bitcoin taproot or ordinals-compatible address. After receipt, the endorsement cannot be taken back, and the customer retains 100% ownership.
Ordinary Tracking and Viewing: Gamma offers tracking and viewing tools to keep customers informed of the status of their inscriptions, from payment to delivery. Customers can also view and share their regulars on the Gamma website.
