The most common way to mint a piece of generative art from fxhash is to use its . Generative art that is currently minting shows up on the front page and also in the explore section of the site. Only in some circumstances - popular mints - will you sometimes need to use a different site to mint.
Once you have found the collection you want to mint, you will see the mint icon. If it says it is locked, you may unlock it at your own discretion. See the safety section below, for more details. The process is shown in the images below.
If the top right corner of the site shows a green dot, your minting will work. If it is red, minting on the site is closed. If you try to mint, you will get a ‘Warning! Transaction is likely to fail’ alert in your wallet, like in the image above, highlighted with a green ellipse.
During a mint, not everything is legitimate, with people pretending to be someone else. This can work when you see an artist’s name you want to collect and rush in, hoping to buy before they sell out, which is what the scammer preys upon.
If a generative token has just been uploaded to fxhash, it will show a lock next to the minting button and last for one hour. You can click it to unlock - it doesn’t prevent you from minting. The idea is to warn you that the community hasn’t had time to review and, if needed, flag it. In a coming update, this will be permanently locked (for one hour) for accounts new to fxhash and not yet verified. This should significantly reduce scammers.
Community tools to reduce scamming focus on flagging. In the image below you can see where to flag, plus you can also see that it has been flagged and the associated warning. It is highly recommended to not buy in this case! If a gentk is flagged 10 times within an hour, it will be removed for verification by fxhash.
