A minter and protocol for inscriptions on Bells.
Use this wallet for inscribing only! Always inscribe from this wallet to a different address, e.g. one you created with Ordinals Wallet. This wallet is not meant for storing funds or inscriptions.
This guide requires a bit of coding knowledge and running Ubuntu on your local machine or a rented one. To use this, you'll need to use your terminal to setup a Bellscoin node, clone this repo and install Node.js on your computer.
On your Terminal, type the following commands:
cd
wget https://github.com/Nintondo/bellscoin/releases/download/2.0.0/bells-2.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -xvzf bells-2.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
cd bells-2.0.0
cd bin
./bellsd -daemon
Create a bells.conf
file with your node information:
cd
cd ~/.bells
touch bells.conf
vi bells.conf
Copy and Paste the following into the bells.conf
file
rpcuser=z4ch
rpcpassword=zord
rpcport=19918
server=1
listen=1
Wait for the node to fully sync.
Check the status by typing the command bells-cli getinfo
on the same directory.
Please head over to (https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#using-ubuntu) and follow the installation instructions.
Check if they are installed by running the following commands:
node -v
and npm -v
On your Terminal, type the following commands:
cd
git clone https://github.com/ordinals-wallet/bellscriptions.git
Install dependencies:
cd bellscriptions
npm install
Create a .env
file with your node information:
On your Terminal, type the following commands:
touch .env
vi .env
Copy and Paste the following into the .env
file
NODE_RPC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:19918
NODE_RPC_USER=z4ch
NODE_RPC_PASS=zord
TESTNET=false
FEE_PER_KB=3300030
Generate a new .wallet.json
file:
node . wallet new
Then send BELLS to the address displayed. Once sent, sync your wallet:
node . wallet sync
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>
From file:
node . mint <address> <path>
Repeating:
node . mint <address> <path> <repeat>
Examples:
node . mint BQQcsCCBiQn1aJsrrNzTg4Lm7MMd1PzZHq dog.jpeg
node . mint BQQcsCCBiQn1aJsrrNzTg4Lm7MMd1PzZHq mint.json 100
You may bulk mint bellmap by specifying an address to receive and a start and end bellmap number
node . mint-bellmap <address> <start> <end>
Examples:
node . mint-bellmap BQQcsCCBiQn1aJsrrNzTg4Lm7MMd1PzZHq 0 100
Start the server:
node . server
And open your browser to:

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.
There's a problem with the node connection. Your bellscoin.conf
file should look something like:
rpcuser=z4ch
rpcpassword=zord
rpcport=19918
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://127.0.0.1:19918
NODE_RPC_USER=ape
NODE_RPC_PASS=zord
TESTNET=false
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.
