TechFlow reports that Ordinals protocol developer Leonidas shared several recommendations on X regarding Runes minting to help participants mitigate risks. Leonidas pointed out:
1. Due to Bitcoin's slow block times, when a particular Rune is nearing the end of its minting period, users should pay high transaction fees to ensure their transactions are confirmed quickly.
2. The Mempool should be viewed as an auction—transactions with higher fees are prioritized for inclusion in blocks.
3. If a Rune has a long minting window, it’s wiser to mint during periods of lower network congestion and transaction fees.
4. Users should understand the minting mechanism beforehand; for example, UNCOMMON•GOODS has a 4-year minting window, so participants must pay attention to current Bitcoin fees when minting.
Leonidas also warned to watch the Rune creator's pre-mine allocation—anything above 10% reflects greed, while around 5% is more reasonable. Finally, he suggested treating Rune minting as purchasing an asset and advised estimating its market cap in advance.
