There is already a official documentation existing in the Metaplex docs. Nevertheless I want to extend them a little bit to show you my experiences and elaborate a bit. What is Gumdrop? Gumdrop can be used to create a candy machine whitelist, do airdrops of prints, distribute tokens... and for sure much more as soon as we get creative! Big thanks to Larry Wu for creating it! Initially I was focusing on the candy machine whitelist here but already extended the document for token and edition drops. :::success Follow me on Twitter :bird:@MarkSackerberg if you like my work.

V2? V2! There are different reasons for a new Version. The one that triggered our man Jordan was probably bots sniping on mints. :::success Follow me on Twitter :bird:@MarkSackerberg if you like my work.

This is how to create a whitelist with candymachine v2. The metaplex guides are already quite extensive, but here is a step by step guide. With candy machine v2 you do not add wallets to a whitelist. Instead a token is used to verify that a minting wallet is whitelisted. You will need to create one and send it to your users (or have them mint it with gumdrop). Let's go!

Am I the only one right now hearing rumours that the candy machine has failed? Bullshit! Jordan had a great idea with it. And sniping was not an issue for months, even though many people might have been aware that it is possible. But... Now that we know that someone is abusing it we cannot just proceed with it as it is. I think that's right and everyone who plans a mint should consider other solutions. Which ones? Let me tell you!
