1. Reference: Atomicals-js code minting tutorial.
2. Node.js is already installed, and the current Node version is the latest LTS version.
PS C:\Users\Lenovo> node -v
v20.10.0
3. Git is already installed.
PS C:\Users\Lenovo> git -v
git version 2.37.0.windows.1
4. Go to the D drive, create a new folder named atomicals, and double-click to enter this folder. Type cmd in the address bar where the path is displayed and press Enter. This opens a terminal with the current directory as the default path. See Figure 1.
5. Enter git clone https://github.com/atomicals/atomicals-js.git in the terminal and press Enter to download the atomicals-js source code. See Figure 2.
D:\atomicals>git clone https://github.com/atomicals/atomicals-js.git

6. Execute the following commands in sequence. For the command: npm install -g yarn, I did not need to run it on my computer because yarn was already installed. See Figure 3.
D:\atomicals>cd atomicals-js
D:\atomicals\atomicals-js>yarn -v
1.22.15
D:\atomicals\atomicals-js>yarn install
yarn install v1.22.15

7. Open the .env file with EditPlus and modify the node settings. The main changes are updating ELECTRUMX_PROXY_BASE_URL and adding the line CONCURRENCY=16.

8. Note: 54 is the maximum number of threads. Modify this based on your computer’s CPU core count. If your CPU has more than 14 cores, you can set it to 54. If you are unsure, set it to 16 first and adjust the value later based on CPU usage. To check your CPU core count, go to Performance – CPU in Task Manager. As shown there, the core count is 2, so I decided to set it to 6 to avoid severely impacting computer performance. See Figure 4.
9. Enter yarn cli wallet-init in the terminal to create a wallet, and transfer BTC to the funding address to pay for the minting fees. primary.address is the wallet address for receiving inscriptions. funding.address is the wallet address for paying fees. See Figure 5.
10. You can view the file: D:\atomicals\atomicals-js\wallets\wallet.json. WIF is the private key (one private key corresponds to one address). phrase is the mnemonic phrase. In the OKX wallet, you can add a wallet – import existing wallet – private key – import private key. I added up to 2 accounts. See Figure 6.
11. The values of address are the Taproot format BTC addresses in the accounts. See Figure 7.
12. Then scan the receiving address of the funding.address account. Transfer some BTC; I plan to mint about 10 copies. The current cost per copy is about 30U. I decided to deposit BTC worth 300U. Confirm the arrival. See Figure 8.
13. Start minting the inscription. The mint command is: yarn cli mint-dft xxxx –satsbyte xx. xxxx is the name of the inscription and needs to be changed to the actual name. –satsbyte xx sets the gas, which is determined by on-chain conditions. I confirmed the average on-chain gas is: 124. See Figure 9.
14. This time I am minting quark. The on-chain gas is about 124, so the mint command is: yarn cli mint-dft quark –satsbyte 124. This starts the minting process. Once the mint is complete, you can repeat the mint command to continue minting. See Figure 10.
