Bellscriptions

A minter and protocol for inscriptions on Bells.

Setup

Install dependencies:

npm install

Create a .env file with your node information:

NODE_RPC_URL=http://<ip>:<port>
NODE_RPC_USER=<username>
NODE_RPC_PASS=<password>
TESTNET=false

Funding

Generate a new .wallet.json file:

node . wallet new

Then send BELLS to the address displayed. Once sent, sync your wallet:

node . wallet sync
node . wallet sync2

Use sync2 if not on linux

If you are minting a lot, you can split up your UTXOs:

node . wallet split <count>

When you are done minting, send the funds back:

node . wallet send <address> <optional amount>

Minting

From file:

node . mint <address> <path>

Repeating:

node . mint <address> <path> <repeat>

Examples:

node . mint BQQcsCCBiQn1aJsrrNzTg4Lm7MMd1PzZHq dog.jpeg

node . mint BQQcsCCBiQn1aJsrrNzTg4Lm7MMd1PzZHq mint.json 100

Bellmap

You may bulk mint luckymap by specifying an address to receive and a start and end luckymap number

node . mint-luckymap <address> <start> <end>

Examples:

node . mint-luckymap BQQcsCCBiQn1aJsrrNzTg4Lm7MMd1PzZHq 0 100

Viewing

Start the server:

node . server

And open your browser to:

http://localhost:3000/tx/15f3b73df7e5c072becb1d84191843ba080734805addfccb650929719080f62e

Protocol

The bellscriptions protocol allows any size data to be inscribed onto subwoofers.

An inscription is defined as a series of push datas:

"ord"
OP_1
"text/plain; charset=utf8"
OP_0
"Woof!"

For bellscriptions, we introduce a couple extensions. First, content may spread across multiple parts:

"ord"
OP_2
"text/plain; charset=utf8"
OP_1
"Woof and "
OP_0
"woof woof!"

This content here would be concatenated as "Woof and woof woof!". This allows up to ~1500 bytes of data per transaction.

Second, P2SH is used to encode inscriptions.

There are no restrictions on what P2SH scripts may do as long as the redeem scripts start with inscription push datas.

And third, inscriptions are allowed to chain across transactions:

Transaction 1:

"ord"
OP_2
"text/plain; charset=utf8"
OP_1
"Woof and "

Transaction 2

OP_0
"woof woof!"

With the restriction that each inscription part after the first must start with a number separator, and number separators must count down to 0.

This allows indexers to know how much data remains.

FAQ

I'm getting ECONNREFUSED errors when minting

There's a problem with the node connection. Your dogecoin.conf file should look something like:

rpcuser=ape
rpcpassword=zord
rpcport=22555
server=1

Make sure port is not set to the same number as rpcport. Also make sure rpcauth is not set.

Your .env file should look like:

NODE_RPC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:22555
NODE_RPC_USER=ape
NODE_RPC_PASS=zord
TESTNET=false

I'm getting "insufficient priority" errors when minting

The miner fee is too low. You can increase it up by putting FEE_PER_KB=300000000 in your .env file or just wait it out. The default is 100000000 but spikes up when demand is high.
