WELCOME G2

MINT!

Hey folks, Today we'll launch our first paid memberships for Pixelmind.ai for members of the community who snagged a spot on the whitelist (the WL). If there are any memberships unsold after the WL mint concludes, those will become available for open minting. For those of you new to the project, Membership passes are limited to 5500 in total, they are lifetime memberships that grant you access

product in a variety of powerful ways. The passes are offered during this whitelisted mint at .1ETH, the next will cost .2ETH and so on until

Memberships are sold at .5ETH each. So today's mint represents an 80% discount on the final retail price. But what, you might ask, does membership mean?

THE PIXELMIND PASS ACCORDING ARCHITECT:

TO

Here's what OG community member Architect has to say: Community, do you understand the benefits of minting your pass tomorrow?

1) The minor one: Discord bot will only be usable to Pass Holders, save for one limited open GPU. 2) The important one: Holding a pass will let you tokenize the images you produce in the Pixelmind's web tool, meaning you will hold [commercial exploitation] IP rights over the images, and will be able to transfer ownership of the rights to any third party by selling them (minting or not minting).

3) The essential one: You will gain access to Pixelmind's web tool for free (others will have to pay for the use of the tool in the future).

Meaning: 3.1 - You will be able to participate in curated collections. You will be able to run several creations and choose your favourite ones for minting an item in the NFT collection (first one will be free, next ones will be paid) 3.2 - You will be able to run custom queries, a.k.a The Imaginarium (what you are doing with the bots here) with a much simpler interface and better results (the models are more updated and the resolution is much higher). You will have sliders, etc. to define your parameters, no need to write strange commands.

3.3 - You will be able to propose your own collections to the team, as a community artist.

4) The meh one: You will be able to sell your Pass in secondary for profit, when everybody else (except you), notices the potentials of this project. Of course, not financial advice.

Good Night and DYOR!

MINTING YOUR MEMBERSHIP A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

STEP 1 - QUALIFICATIONS To participate in the G2 mint, you must have completed two steps already.

A. You must have acquired the “WAGMI.G2” role in the Pixelmind discord B. You must have already added your ETH address to the #WHITELIST_G2_ETH_ADDRESS channel If you completed both of those steps, congratulations! You can now claim your PX Collector's Pass at an 80% discount, and be among the earliest users of Pixelmind.

STEP 2 - MINTING PREP On top of the 0.1 ETH cost of the membership, you will need enough ETH to pay for your minting transaction on the ethereum blockchain. You also need to ensure you’re minting from the same ETH address you provided during Step 1.B (above) A. Ensure you’re using the same ETH address you provided during step 1.B. Note that you MUST CONTROL this address. You can’t use a Coinbase address successfully, for example. If you're using a ledger, please let us know in the #minting-support channel.

B. Ensure you have at least .03ETH and preferably .05ETH available for use in that address for gas fees.

Note: This cost can vary widely depending on how busy the ethereum blockchain is. As a general rule, you shouldn’t need to pay more than .05ETH. Note: If you’re seeing costs that seem too expensive, take a screenshot and post it to #minting-support in Pixelmind discord.

Important: Do not manually adjust the cost of your transaction fee down unless you understand exactly what you’re doing. Minting transactions are more complex (and thus more expensive) than simply sending a token and if you lower the transaction fee it is likely that your fee will be consumed without your token being successfully minted.

STEP 3 - MINTING YOUR MEMBERSHIP With the preliminaries out of the way, it’s time to create your own Pixelmind Collectors Pass (G1).

Note: our first mint is described as G0 in the contract, and yours will be G1. Once this mint is completed, we will create a simplified role in Discord for pass holders, including To do so: A. Visit https://claim.pixelmind.ai/ B. Click “Connect my wallet”

C. Unlock and follow the instructions within Metamask to connect your WHITELISTED address for minting. If its stuck for a while on the part that says "Connecting..." try a different browser.

D. Once connected, you’ll see the “Please connect wallet” button become a “Claim Collector’s Pass” button.

E. Click “Claim Collector’s Pass” This will cause your Metamask wallet to load the minting transaction.

F. Review and approve the transaction within Metamask. i. Note - If fees are very expensive (above .05ETH) you may want to wait until a time when the Ethereum network is less busy.

You will have until January 24th, 2022 to claim your pass. However, we have oversubscribed our wagmi.g2 whitelist so get to minting as soon as you can. Anyone who misses this mint will be automatically whitelisted for the next mint, at 0.2 ETH. g. You did it! Once it’s been approved by the Ethereum network, you’ll be able to visit Opensea.io/account and find your “PX Collector’s Pass”. Each pass is individually numbered, determined by minting order. ii. If you need any additional assistance, please see #minting-support, or tag Adam B. Levine, Bot Ross Blue or Bot Ross Red.

THE NEXT GENERATIONS

CO-CREATING WITH US

In the next few months, we’ll release more opportunities to purchase Collector memberships, though we are not in any rush to do so as we want to focus on the early users of the product and continue to heighten the quality of user experience and art-creation.

While the beta web app is already populated with series to create in, the series model allows those who are best with these new technologies to create specific series which members can then participate in as "co-creator". If you'd like to create a Pixelmind series, please contact us via this form:

Each iteration of whitelist will increase by 0.1 ETH, with the final group of memberships sold for the full price at 0.5 ETH.
