Toshi’s Probably Wrong Advice
– Day 26
Begginers Guide to
@objktcom from a beginner
Hey my imaginary beasts ❤️
I’ve finally taken the plunge and started minting on
@objktcom It’s been a couple of weeks now, and I’m still very much a beginner figuring things out as I go. The low fees on Tezos, the welcoming vibe for generative and AI art, and the clean interface made it the right choice for me. If you’ve been thinking about getting into it but feel overwhelmed, here’s my beginner-to-beginner guide: what I’ve learned so far, step by step.
I’m not an expert (far from it, I’m still tweaking and learning), but this is what worked for me. Take it slow, start small, and let’s learn together.
▫️Understand why Objkt fits AI art
It’s built on Tezos (super low minting fees, often under $0.10), eco-friendly, and the community loves generative work. No gas wars, no insane costs.
▫️Set up a Tezos wallet
I use Temple Wallet (browser extension) it’s straightforward.
Download it, create an account, back up your seed phrase securely (write it down, never screenshot or share).
▫️Get some Tez (XTZ)
Buy on Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken.
Start with 50–100 Tez ($30–60) to cover mints and a buffer. Withdraw to your wallet address.
▫️Connect to Objkt
Go to objkt website, click “Connect” (top right), choose your wallet, and approve. Your profile appears automatically.
▫️Polish your profile
Add a name, bio (mention AI art, fantasy, storytelling), profile pic, and banner. It helps people find and remember you.
▫️Prepare your piece
High-res PNG/JPG (under 100MB), or GIF/MP4 for motion.
Write a meaningful title, description (tell the story behind it), and tags .
▫️Hit “Create” and choose your format
Start with a single edition or small collection.
1/1 for unique pieces, open editions for accessible ones.
▫️Upload and fill details
Drag your file, set royalty (10% is standard), editions, and price (I started low, 5–20 Tez, to test the waters).
▫️Mint it
Review everything, click mint, confirm in wallet. Fee is tiny. Done, you’re on chain!
▫️Promote it
Share the link on X with your story, tags, and why you made it. Reply to collectors, join Objkt Discord for feedback.
▫️Learn from each mint
Watch what gets views/sales. Adjust pricing, descriptions, tags. My first few taught me more than any tutorial.
▫️Stay safe and patient
Never share seed phrase. Only use official site. Sales might be slow at first, that’s normal. Build slowly.
I’m still early in this, my collection is small, I’m experimenting with editions and pricing, and I have a lot to learn about marketing and community.
But the feeling of seeing your AI dragon on chain, ownable by someone who loves it?
Worth it.
If you’re starting too, drop your first mint below or ask questions, I’m right here learning with you ❤️
More tomorrow.

Toshi’s Probably Wrong Advice
Day 25
Hey my imaginary beasts ❤️
That feeling, the constant doubt about what to post, the endless options (image? thread? GIF? video? quote? trend?), the fear of choosing wrong, the exhaustion when nothing lands, and the spark when something does.
I know it too well.
It’s the creator’s curse: we care so much that every decision feels heavy.
But here’s the quiet truth I’ve learned (and keep re-learning): the doubt never goes away completely…
but it doesn’t have to stop you.
Here are five things that help me when I’m lost in that loop:
◽️ There’s no “perfect” format, only what feels true today. Some days a simple dragon render speaks louder than a 10-tweet thread.
Other days a quick GIF or a heartfelt quote connects deeper. Trust the piece that excites you most in the moment. The audience that sticks around loves you, not a formula.
◽️Experiment without attachment.
Try everything, GIFs one week, threads the next, videos when the mood hits. Not every experiment will blow up, but each one teaches you what feels like your voice.
The ones that flop? They’re data, not failure.
The ones that land? They show the path.
◽️Post anyway, even when you’re unsure.
At the end you always choose something you think is best. That instinct is gold.
The algo rewards consistency more than perfection, and your audience learn to expect you.
A “meh” post today keeps the habit alive for the great one tomorrow.
◽️The highs and lows are the rhythm.
When it goes quiet, it’s normal to feel tired.
When it sparks, it’s easy to get illusioned.
Both are part of the ride. Celebrate the wins, rest after the lows, but don’t let either extreme decide if you keep going.
The middle ground, steady creating is where growth lives.
◽️You’re not lost, you’re exploring.
Feeling lost means you’re trying things, pushing edges, refusing to stagnate.
That’s the opposite of lost.
The creators who “make it” aren’t the ones who always knew what to post, they’re the ones who kept posting while figuring it out.
You’re already doing the hardest part: showing up, choosing, and shipping. The doubt just means you care.
Keep listening to that inner voice that says “this one feels right today.” It’s leading you somewhere good.
What’s one thing you posted lately that you were unsure about… but did anyway?
Drop it below.
I want to celebrate the courage with you ❤️
More tomorrow.
