[@ludwinghurtado5032]

Awesome video thanks Josh! Been waiting for your videos. Keep up the excellent job dude!

[@ShoxTest2711]

Hi Josh, thanks for all your videos so far. I'm excited to start writing applications next, highly reccomend watching all Josh's videos

[@typicalindiancoderwhowatch8458]

Thankyou very much these videos! I Really like content regarding solana/near/polkadot and rust as it is rare !

[@sriakhil]

Thanks for the time and effort. Really helped me, a complete web3 beginner understand the logic. Props to you!

[@EldorJ10]

Great video! Thank you very much and please keep making videos! :)

[@leetcodeforbeginners]

Thanks for this tutorials

Great content Josh, I believe you will be one of the most famous content creators about Solana in no time !
I wanted to know if it is possible to connect an external API (built in springboot) to a Solana smart contract and depending on the parameter we decide if we send SOL tokens or no ?
Thanks in advance !!

[@MarkPradhan]

Hey Josh, great content, have been wanting to learn these. Where do i start if i want to start from 0.
Are the older videos still relevant or do they still work it i stick to the versions you used in the vids.

[@haroldcastiaux959]

Hey Josh, amazing video, can you do a video on staking an nft by any chance? thanks

[@UniversbeCREATIONS]

buddy why you are so awesome :)

[@Gamma96]

Hey Josh love your lessons. Is it possible to do one on making a wallet application?

[@Solandy]

hey Josh! Nice video!
I didn't watch it to the end (yet) but here are two things:
1) You call the functions "transactions" - in my understanding those are "instructions" ;)
2) The from and to (both for mint and transfer) don't have to be ATAs. They usually are but it can be any token account ;)
Enjoy :)

[@JoshsDevBox]

Thanks for the comment Andy!
1) You are correct, those are instructions, I realized the mistake when I was editing the video, but was like: "Nahhhhhh, no one will ever notice", clearly I was wrong!
2) Awesome, learning something new every day!

[@Aster031]

Solandy do you know is the ATA automatically derived from token account in case 2)

[@danielbui12]

Great work! Moreover, how to transfer compressed NFT with Anchor?

[@dollartrails]

Hey Josh,
Could you please make video on nft staking, raffles and auctions in Solana using Anchor framework.

[@tusharsharma4472]

Where can I find Docs for solana/spl-token for web3 side???

[@sgrutman978]

How do you do this with a hardware wallet like ledger rather then the id.json?

[@sportingsharksfcnfts5211]

How do I deploy 3200 NFTs total but 32 cities of 100 NFTs of each ? Thanks

[@prashantsamant3973]

i am tetsing your code in solana playground and when i am filling the fields it is giving me error that arguments i ahve passed are wrong

[@dangelgeek]

I got this error when run the test Error: failed to send transaction: Transaction simulation failed: Error processing Instruction 0: Program failed to complete

[@jacqueschenet]

Hi man, how to build swap with jupiter please ? the tutorial will be helpful thanks

[@denja8166]

I can help you bro. What is your telegram?

[@kavanih3192]

Do you have any community

[@fernandogonzalezreigosa9456]

Hey Josh, is there any way to contact you? Got some questions about the smart contract of this video. Thanks and amazing videos!!

[@henryksarat]

Cool video. Concrete question:
In the code you have:
"const res = await anchor.AnchorProvider.env().sendAndConfirm(mint_tx, [mintKey]);"
Why is mintKet the signer when above the code the clear owner of everything seems to be "key" which is from the anchor wallet?

[@nashwaanalikhan]

Hey man do you have a Discord server? I got a few Questions about Anchor

[@hf1788]

Mate how I can contact u ?

[@helloworld2138]

You only send accounts from "program.methods.transferToken().accounts". How do i send custom instruction data from "program.methods" along with accounts?
