How do you claim your Bitcoin Pizza NFT?

Step 1: Setup your crypto-currency wallet.

The first question most of us had when we were introduced to the world of crypto was this- WHAT is a wallet?

Very simply- a wallet is a piece of software that allows you to ‘store’ and retrieve your cryptocurrency tokens/ assets. There are many options available on the internet.

We recommend the wallet called – Metamask. It is very easy to use and has a simple and clean interface.

A ‘Metamask’ wallet allows users to interact with the ‘Ethereum’ blockchain and store ethereum based assets. The wallet can either be accessed through a browser extension or through a mobile app. For our current purposes, we recommend that you use the browser extension version.

Here’s a video tutorial on how you can complete this step. Click here

After you set up, your wallet, ensure that the xDai network is listed in the Metamask wallet. Use these instructions (https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/wallets/metamask/metamask-setup) to set it up.

Why do you need to do this?- So that you can receive your NFT without any transaction charges. If you use any other network (like the Ethereum Mainnet), there will be a transaction fee which can go as high as US$ 50.

Step 2: Now that you have a wallet, let’s go collect your NFT!

You will have received an email with a link to ‘Claim your NFT’. This is a unique link assigned to only you. Once the NFT through this link has been claimed, it cannot be claimed again. So please do not share this link with anyone.

Click on the link or copy and paste the link in your browser. You will be redirected to our POAP microsite

 

If you are asked to select your wallet, select Metamask.

 

Click on the “Get my address” option. You will be redirected to your Metamask wallet. Select your xDai account and click “Next”.

You will be redirected to another window. Simply click on the blue icon that says “Connect”

Once connected, your address will automatically be pasted on the page. Simply click on the yellow icon that says “Claim POAP token”

And you’re all set! Congratulations on your very own NFT. Your Bitcoin Pizza badge is now in your wallet.

 

You can check your badge by clicking on the button. You can collect badges from other events that issue NFTs using this same wallet address. Don’t worry about this public wallet address. No one can access it without your secret pass-phrase.

Step 3: Paint something fun on the digital canvas

Your Bitcoin Pizza badge is the ‘key’ that will permit you to draw on the Bitcoin Pizza canvas- an interactive digital canvas which allows the artist in each one of us to collaborate with each other.

Together, we will create an original piece of pixel art which will be auctioned as an NFT on Bitcoin Pizza day, thus effectively cementing our digital art on the blockchain forever.

Here’s an easy tutorial that explains how to draw on the canvas. This tutorial was created for another project, but it will help you get started: https://ethstaker.cc/what-is-poap-art
