OG Foxes NFT
To sum it up, let's just say that in the past 10 years I have built the best, most loyal community ever ("OGs"), who have been supporting me in every step to create this NFT project, and I will be always grateful for it.
It all started when I decided to educate my community about NFTs last year (2021). I've made several podcasts and Instagram posts about ETH NFTs that were well-received by the whole Maghreb region
But due to Ethereum's expensive cost and gas fees at that time, it was hard for many people to join the NFT space.
So I decided to make another podcast series about Solana Blockchain & NFTs with deep insights and case studies so anyone can easily understand and follow.
And oh boy! I am glad I did. Soon after that, many people start joining the NFT world for the first time and making money either as artists, traders, or developers. I have highlighted many screenshots from the community on my Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/kasmiyouness and some were posted on our Private Foxes Discord server, but more of that later.
I also noticed that after my Solana podcasts, most of the people moved from Ethereum to Solana, so the whole interest of my community at that time was on how someone can build his own project on the Solana blockchain.
I decided once again to take the initiative and create another video, and this time it was challenging. Firstly I am not a developer, second, the video had to be a Livestream in front of thousands of people so the younger audience will learn how to search for information and understand that anything can be done with hard work and dedication.
I didn't know how much the Livestream will last or how much money it will cost, I just know I had to turn on my webcams and start streaming.
The Livestream took 14 hours, you can watch the recording here
It was really magical! Even though I was tired and needed sleep, seeing the whole community supporting me during the whole process was really a blessing.
During the Livestream, the community was helping me with the attributes, picking the rarity percentage of each trait, the mint supply, and the mint price (0.8 SOL), and they even helped choose our brand name Private Foxes.
I mentioned several times at the start and also during the Livestream, that this whole video is just for educational purposes and I asked everyone not to mint in case we deploy to Mainnet.
But right after I finished the Livestream, I went to sleep, it was a long 14 hours of streaming, to wake up after a few hours that many NFTs got minted by some of the viewers as a thank-you gesture for the Livestream and also for what had been spent to deploy to Mainnet.
That same day I made some Instagram stories to thank my community for the incredible support, and to announce that I have to make this project official for those who already minted. And because of those Instagram stories, some of my community went to mint more to show more support, so I had to pause the mint until I finish the whole plan.
Private Foxes is the first NFT project created during a 14-hour Livestream with the community.
That's how the OG Foxes NFTs were born and adopted by the first community supporters.
The funny thing is just right after we paused the mint to decide on our plan, the SOL price went from 100$ to 28$.
So this was another challenge facing us which is making this educational NFT project with that small amount of funds into a well-established NFT project.
And that's why I decided to start by creating the Private Foxes Discord server.
