A Deep-dive on How to Mint Runes with RuniGun on Telegram
May 6th, 2024

Minting tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain via RuniGun in Telegram is a straightforward process that combines the convenience of Telegram with the power of blockchain technology. Here’s how you can mint your own tokens, such as the DOPE•ASS•TICKER, directly from Telegram:

Step 1: Fund Your Wallet

Before you start minting, make sure your RuniGun wallet is funded with Bitcoin. This wallet uses a Segwit (bech32) address, typically starting with 'bc1'. Ensure you have enough BTC to cover the minting transaction fees.

Step 2: Navigate the Menu

Access the full menu by going to /home on your RuniGun bot. Here, you can see the 'Mint' button among other functions. Click 'Mint' to start the process.

Step 3: Start the Minting Process

  • Initiate Minting: Type the Rune Name you want to mint, such as "dopeassticker", and send it to the bot.

  • Confirmation: RuniGun will respond with details of the token you are about to mint, including supply, creation block, start and end blocks, and mints per transaction.

Step 4: Confirm and Execute the Minting Transaction

  • Transaction Initiation: After confirming the token details, RuniGun will initiate the transaction and provide a Bitcoin transaction hash. This hash allows you to track the transaction on the blockchain.

  • Wait for Confirmation: The transaction will require confirmation from the Bitcoin network, typically within the next block (about every 10 minutes). Note that during high network congestion, fees may be higher and confirmation may take longer.

Step 5: Check Transaction Status

  • Use blockchain explorers like mempool.space to enter the transaction hash provided by RuniGun and check the status of your transaction.

  • Once confirmed, your new tokens will be minted and added to your wallet balance.

Step 6: Monitor Your Wallet

  • RuniGun will update your wallet balance and provide information on the transaction cost and your remaining balance.

Additional Tips

  • Multiple Transactions: You can broadcast several minting transactions simultaneously if you are looking to mint multiple tokens.

  • Transaction Costs: Keep an eye on the transaction fees, which can vary depending on the Bitcoin network's current congestion.

Conclusion

Minting via RuniGun on Telegram combines the ease of use of messaging apps with the robustness of the Bitcoin blockchain. This method allows users to engage in cryptocurrency transactions without leaving the comfort of their favorite messaging platform, making it an efficient way to participate in the crypto ecosystem.
