1. How to create a Solana Wallet
Why Solana?
Because it's super early (we are making history!) and we don't like gas fees! Solana is cheaper and faster than alternatives. Money should go to the Astro-Cyber-Punks, not be wasted on market inefficiencies!
Getting some SOL
There are two methods for getting SOL. One requires an exchange account, another doesn't. Please use method one if you have an exchange account and method two if you don't.
Method 1 - buying at an exchange
1. Buy some SOL at Coinbase or another exchange
2. Go to https://phantom.app/ and download the browser extension to create a Solana wallet. Here's a good Phantom tutorial! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYRPwFruteI
3. Get your Solana address and send funds from exchange to wallet
Method 2- converting without exchange
1. Download the Exodus app (https://www.exodus.com/) and link it to your current BTC/ETH wallet.
2. Once Exodus is linked to your current wallet, you can use the "Exchange" function in the app to convert ETH/BTC to SOL.
3. Go to https://phantom.app/ and download the browser extension to create a Solana wallet.
4. Once your Solana wallet is created, you can send Solana from your Exodus wallet to your Phantom wallet. This will allow you to mint Solana NFTs and purchase Solana NFTs on all major secondary marketplaces.
Using secondary marketplaces
You can browse through existing collections on the most popular Solana marketplaces: https://digitaleyes.market/, https://magiceden.io/, https://solanart/, and https://solsea.io/ (ordered alphabetically) Minting NFTs is often cheaper and yields higher returns, but it's also riskier since you don't know how well the project is going to do! Here, we'll do our best to go to the Moon!
