How to find, mint, and verify Natdogs?

Disclaimer: By choosing to mint Natdogs, you acknowledge and accept the risks involved, as well as the experimental nature and constraints of the project. Please note that Natdogs artworks are generated off-chain and will not be visible in your wallet.

Find

To identify a valid Natdogs block, you need to scan the header of each Dogecoin block and verify if the hexadecimal bits field contains the pattern "3b" and if the block hash contains "42". If you operate a full node, you can utilize CLI commands. Alternatively, if you do not have access to a full node, you can utilize any Dogecoin API service that provides block data.

For instance, you can use the following API endpoint: https://dogechain.info/api/v1/block/12722

Example: {

"block": { "hash": "36b10154eeb949642fe507fc329fd6f43e83e894a1c589aa9026a9d528318025", "height": 12722, ... "bits": "1c063d3b", ... } }

Mint

Use your own inscriber or an inscribe service for example from https://drc-20.org/service/inscribe or https://ordifind.com/inscribe and inscribe as TEXT the following json:

{"p":"tap","op":"dmt-mint","dep":"aa3a4e4ab12d4d90018746ae2afb0a5dfe4467cfb89510a091745f3b931264f0i0","tick":"natdogs","blk":"12724"}

Please replace the number in the "blk" field, which is currently set to 12724 in this example, with the height you have identified as valid for minting from the previous section.

Verify

Currently, there isn't a public Dogecoin ordinals page where you can search if a string already exists. The only Dogecoin ordinals explorer we're aware of is https://wonky-ord.dogeord.io/, but it doesn't support search functionality. We hope that a community member will initiate the indexing process and create a nice dashboard for it. Alternatively, we're optimistic that Geniidata might support Dogecoin soon. Additionally, we'll endeavor to offer something in the upcoming weeks. Until then, you'll have to rely on the hope that your number was first and hasn't been taken.
