        • Getting Started

          Start collecting Trapper's unique NFT poetry at Atomichub!

          Wait... What is an NFT?

          It stands for Non-Fungible-Token, which is a fancy way to say "digital collectible." The innovative thing about NFTs is that the technology takes digital works of art, which have previously been easy to copy and share, and turns them into one-of-a-kind, verifiable assets that are easy to trade on the blockchain.

           

          Trapper is publishing poetry on Medium, in literary journals, and now a special selection is uniquely available to collectors as an NFT.

          Step 1: Get a WAX Wallet

          Go to https://all-access.wax.io/ and sign up for a WAX Wallet in which to store your poetry collection. You can create a wallet in a couple of clicks by using your Google or Facebook ID.

           

          Why WAX? It an up-and-coming network with a great community, a creator-focused dev team, and low costs to mint new collectibles.

          Step 2: Add some WAX tokens to your wallet so you can buy more poems!  

          Unfortunately, this is more complicated than it should be out here on the bleeding edge of digital collectibles. If you are in the US, you'll need to convert Bitcoin or Ethereum from an existing wallet you might have (Like Coinbase) using their ChangeNow option. Or you can buy WAX on an exchange (like Bittrex) and then transfer it to your new WAX wallet.

           

          If you already have a WAX wallet, well that is just awesome. :)

          Step 3: YOU KNOW WHAT FORGET NEEDING MONEY. HOW ABOUT A FREE POEM??

          Maybe you can't figure out how to get WAX into your wallet. Fine! Scroll to the bottom of this page and get yourself a FREE HAIKU FROM TRAPPER! Go grab a free copy of 1 of only 2,500 free Welcome poems that will be given away for this poetry collection. You can see a version of this Welcome haiku poem on Atomichub.

           

          You can claim a free poem until they are all gone! So go get one!

          Step 4: Grab the currently available NFT poem dropping now: Instantly. (Poem #1 / 25)

          The Poem Instantly by Trapper Markelz is now dropping for Collected Words. Only 25 copies of this poem are available. Once they are gone, that's it!
