    Due to ETH ridiculous gas fees at the moment, you'd need to pay about $150 to mint a piece, for example at zora.gallery ( no signups required, just connect a wallet and off you go), so I think the whole Ethereum ecosystem is completely broken until this fees shitshow levels out. It's just stupid at this point. 1 year ago, the same action would have costed cents...

    So if you still want to throw some money out to play a bit, you first need a wallet. My recommendation is Metamask. It's a browser extension, and you use it to connect to websites and dApps. Then, you need to have some $ETH on that wallet, so you'll need to get to an exchange and trade Dollars for Ethereum. Transfer the $ETH from exchange to Metamask (might have another fee here, depends on exchange). Go to https://zora.gallery/ , click connect wallet. Click Create, upload media, write some poetic shit about it, and pay the fucking fees. Pray for the process to sucessfully complete because if it fails, the gas fee is gone and you have accomplished nothing besides giving your money to some fucking miner.
