Viewing minted NFTS

[silaslang]

Hi all, firstly thank you for all the hard work you put in on this. I have a question that I'm not sure if is appropriate for here but I cant find the answers anywhere else. Its not an issue with the software.

I minted an NFT on gochain network but I cant work out how to view it as an image. What wallet will show the image I linked to via ipfs pinning at pinata?

Thanks

Hi @silaslang

Here is an example of an NFT with an image from our block explorer: https://explorer.gochain.io/token/0x29af464A1099Ddf11C5770d8E05CBa18cAeF47d4/asset/458574755479668142737315416416

You can try viewing any GoChain NFT asset by plugging in you own token contract address and asset ID:
https://explorer.gochain.io/token/<CONTRACT>/asset/<ID>

[silaslang]

Hi Thank you ever so much for the reply. I followed this guide https://medium.com/gochain/how-to-create-and-deploy-an-nft-smart-contract-in-10-minutes-e0d7ef8e59fc    I can mint the token and view it on the Gochain explorer. https://explorer.gochain.io/addr/0x7A5c15B8df397EF5aeDe2ef971f72838F663Ea51?addr_tab=interact But I cannot see the test image I used in the uri base (below), I followed the guide above. https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmZQr6dYSNXdrLtCMzjAvipUFHT7QygsW5kAP1XFujY7W1 I really want to make art nfts on gochain network but cant figure what Im doing wrong. How do I create an NFT like the 'jmank88's robot' NFT? Thank you for your time and patience. Silas

Your token is here: https://explorer.gochain.io/token/0x7A5c15B8df397EF5aeDe2ef971f72838F663Ea51/asset/0

Which looks like your contract is returning a metadata URL here: https://i.ibb.co/bNDvqdM/Qm-ZQr6d-YSNXdr-Lt-CMzj-Avip-UFHT7-Qygs-W5k-AP1-XFuj-Y7-W1.png0

Which looks like a bad image URL, not a metadata URL.

You should read this so you understand how they work: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721

[cmatomic]

Look at this example: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYP4SZMWLQ5ZcrkwTVK1v3NUK6fxvVDEHtTCyUAupg3jt
2º example:
web3 generate contract erc721 --symbol yourNFTsymbol --name "NFTNAME" --base-uri https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json

*do not change this part ?filename=

[treeder]

I don't think that's right either, the base-uri should be https://ipfs.io/ipfs/ (or "ipfs://" if you expect your users to have something that can understand ipfs://).

To use IPFS, it makes it quite a bit more complicated. You'll have to modify the contract web3 generates to use ERC721URIStorage and you can read more about why and how here. This should also have a new function like:

function mint(address owner, string memory metadataURI)
    public
    returns (uint256)
    {
        _tokenIds.increment();

        uint256 id = _tokenIds.current();
        _safeMint(owner, id);
        _setTokenURI(id, metadataURI);

        return id;
    }

Then to actually mint a token you have to do the following:

• add image to ipfs and get image cid
• create metadata json with name, description and image and in the image field, put: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/IMAGE_CID
• add metadata json to ipfs and get metadata cid
• Now you'd mint the token and pass in the cid

[cmatomic]

@treeder
web3 generate contract erc721 --symbol yourNFTsymbol --name "NFTNAME" --base-uri https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json
using this method obtained the following result .(the image may take a time to load )
https://explorer.gochain.io/token/0x411Cc12dA82389a6d170A25e42212d1854fa4E4d/asset/0

What did you mean by this "and pass in the cid" ?

[treeder]

To the mint function. You'd pass in https://ipfs.io/ipfs/{CID} for metadataURI.

Anyways, looks like you got it working. Want to share what you did? Your contract code?

[cmatomic]

@treeder
I did not change anything in the contract code, I simply copied the link from the IPFS Desktop application, this after several attempts to mint an NFT.
But it is possible to use services such as pinata for that, just copy the CID and name of the .json file.
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/{CID}?filename=nft.json

[treeder]

Oh, I think I see what you're doing, but it won't work properly. Every token you mint will be the exact same, ie:

• https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json0
• https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json1
• https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json2
• https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json3
• https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmeP4vcyDQ9uzdRQNUcdfMgfvEGwbjixh2hSpkDNqBSHdZ?filename=nft.json4
• and so on...

So unless you want 1 contract per token (which you don't), you have to do it differently.

[silaslang]

Thanks everyone for all the input and help. It appears I am getting somewhat closer to grasping this. I am new to all this but I am enjoying the learning. I couldn't grasp https://ipfs.io/ so I created the .json and pinned it at pinata .

However, when viewed at Gochain Explorer I am getting this error:
JSON.parse: expected double-quoted property name at line 9 column 1 of the JSON data

I feel as if I am almost there , what do I need to fix? *

EDIT, its the comma isnt it in this

"name": "Never Liked This Banksy",

/ipfs/QmTqWkECDhFYL8mHXNkQvUjNzExouqMZLnpATaKMNYgEJV",

}

[treeder]

yes, it's the comma.

And again, you're doing it wrong. that base-uri won't allow you to have more than one NFT in your contract.

[silaslang]

I'm so happy , I finally got it to work. Thank you for all the help. I appreciate your patience and assistance. It has been fun experimenting.

To mint more than 1 of these would do the following

web3 contract call --wait --abi BANSKY.abi --gas-limit 2000000 --function mint 0x03f42d46a09b922FD3D98CaC46B5B52F7a3cB98C (INSERT THE AMOUNT TO MINT HERE?)

[treeder]

no, you can only mint 1 at a time.

[ranjithSts]

hi @treeder your right need to update the contract mint function which is getting pulled using docker

[treeder]

@ranjithSts not sure what you mean, can you explain?
