How to set up open sea account

  

 

So to get started you need to open your

web browser

and visit the open-sea website which is

openc.io

so openc is practical if not the

largest one of the largest um

nfts marketplace out there to get started

you go to the profile

tab then you will need to get a metamask

wallet

or the other different um wallet

available

for openc so for this purpose we'll be

using  the metamask wallet

so you hit the get a metal mask wallet

then you have the option to

if you're on your browser to get the

chrome browser

depending on the browser you're working

with if it's Mozilla I can also get the

Mozilla

the browsers so  you add the extension to your

browser

wait for that to download and

install the extension

so you get started after the extension

has been installed

so here you can import a wallet if you

already have a meta mask account

or create a new account so for this

 So you hit the create a

the wallet then you have to agree to the

terms here

so you generate a new password for your

account so

Your password

should be

a minimum of eight characters so

putting confirming the password again

then you check.

So here you have your secret words

which you can use to retrieve your

accounts if you

don't have access to the account

so this what should be kept somewhere safe

which you yeah should be kept somewhere

safe because you might need it

the day you need to get access to your

account so

you will need to enter this. What's

exactly the way they are you , 

in the next tab  

so you are going to arrange the words

the way it

appeared in the previous tab so all you

need is

to just click the what's below

according to you arrange the whole thing

so when once you did arranging you

would be able to continue so  just

select the word

and click-through

the last one. So if it's correct you

hit continue

then hold on so your wallet

is ready so you can just close this tab

and

so this is your Ethereum wallet here

so now after creating this we would have

to go back to the openc

tab then reload

the page then go to

my profile which should bring in the

sign in button so

you hit the sign-in button which will

automatically connect to your

meta mask wallet which we just created

so you connect that

then the page loads

and would sign you in okay so

you will have to put in

so setting up the account you have to

add covers to your

account rename the account since you

we have an unnamed account so uploading

an image to the cover here

which depending on the size of your

image can take a bit

I think it's taking a while

so you can okay  

sign in so let's just go ahead to the

settings

tab and fixing

so here where you have the unnamed 

account so you put in the username for

your account here

so this will replace the unnamed 

the tab we have we had recently

then you will need to put in a buy for

your account so this is

the about people see when they visit 

your

profile so let's just put the templates

content here for now

you can come back later to edit any of

the details here

so add my your address

then you hit the save button

so yeah you would get an email in your

inbox which you need to verify

so you hit the sign-in button so this

should

send an email to you which you need

to confirm in your email account

okay so after activating

just go back to your profile

so you should have your profile properly

named so

the name of the accounts

so now the account is set up next thing

to do is

we can start creating collections and

start uploading

our designs so go to collection

here you're going to create a new

collections so collections are like 

categories of  artworks so you can

create for example

collections for let's say

painting collections for 

game artworks collection so depending on

what kind of talk you have you can put them into

different categories so that's what your

collection is

for so we're going to create a new

the collection here you're going to add like

a logo for your collection

then the name of your collection then a

description

for your collection so just put in

something random here

So 

put an image here so

you click and just look for something

from your pc. Let's just use this

then you create hit the create button

so it creates that collection for you

yeah add item

so here you're going to add in your item

so you need to authenticate with your

the account you sign in

then this will be your first artwork

so

Just put in something random here

so you give your NFC a name

then a description

so the external link is if you have um

the image else elsewhere you can put a

link in here but

If you don't have the link

elsewhere so

you can leave that then for properties

properties are like what I call it tag

so you can say for example the yet was

created you put um 2021

as property then the kind of

design for example you can say design it

you can say painting or something else

then the unlockable content is so let's

say

you put up a vector design and you want

to give the person access to the

or the original design itself so maybe the ai file

for example the pdf

PSD file you can also put that here

so that's what the unlockable content

or any other information you want to

unlock .

create and sign into the account

so this should load and

prepare the first NFC

on the account this might be okay

Your artwork is uploaded so you can

this either visit the artwork

or sell so you are putting this off for

sale now

so it is a button

so here we have three different pr 

categories for  pricing you can set

the fixed price which is put in

let's say 0.05

eta means the

the user would have to pay this amount to

buy it

off outrightly that's what the set price

is for

then the bid option you can put your

minimum bid then that's will be the like

the minimum price the user can buy the

item so which can sometimes go

over the minimum price so people can

keep bidding until

you accept the bid depending on the

 amount you want so that's what the

bid part is then you can reserve prices also then also

put in the expiration date for your bid

if you want the bid for to last for a

week

you put that there then we have what

call bounces

so bounces are like reward you

give to users that get  a buyer for

you

so let's say another user called user b

for example

gets a thought party to buy the item

you can pay the better the persona

fee so that's what we'll call bounties

on open scene

so you have a minimum of um I think one

and a maximum of 2.5 so

let's leave this at two percent so you 'll

give the person two percent of

whatever the amount um the item is being

sold for that

bounces then we'll have to set our

item for listing

so upon setting your item for listing

for the first time on openc dot io

you will need to pay for what we call

gas so gas is like

an entrance fee

to put up your work for sale so it's

going to authenticate with your Ethereum

wallet

for the for just want and that over time

when people make sales payment

payments goes to your Ethereum wallet so

you would have to transfer I think for this gas fee it's about 112 um

dollars to your Ethereum wallet so if

you have

other wallets which is funded you can

transfer

to this Ethereum wallet

and once the um account is funded

you would be able to continue  t

so that's it
