How to mint a token with cardano-cli for noobs (video)

Developers Native Tokens
1

It was suggested I post this here. It’s not the best, but I run through command by command until a token is created. My own noob-troubleshooting included.

  1. Cardano supports both Fungible and Non-Fungible tokens natively
  2. Creating NFTs is a matter of setting an appropriate policy restriction
  3. Minimum Ada is only the start, the transaction fees on top of the minimum ada that confused me initially (at [20:00]​). Go here for boring details: https://cardano-ledger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/explanations/min-utxo.html

Here’s the how to docs most of seen at this point:

Hey I don’t know for sure since this isn’t really a token issue. This is probably a setup issue with your relay node. I also don’t use launch pad so suggest going to a topic for that.

Here’s something I saw that says you may want to rebuild from scratch as something in configs could be messed up:
