I have to figure out how to post a batch of assets to Arweave once a year and it's always painful to sort out again. Here's how. If anyone has a better idea please share! 1. Make an Arweave wallet if you don't have one. I guess https://www.wander.app/ is the one. 2. You need $AR. I transfer Eth to Ar via https://simpleswap.io. There's a storage calculator you can use to figure out how much $AR you need at https://ar-fees.arweave.dev/. 3. Install the Arweave CLI: https://github.com/ardriveapp/ardrive-cli 4. You'll need to export that wallet from Wander, you can get a JSON from it. 5. Create a Drive: `ardrive create-drive --wallet-file your-wallet.json --public --drive-name "Lucky Ghouls"` 6. That's going to return a few values including its ID, you need that ID.

IPFS used to have a really nice native desktop drag and drop uploader. Be awesome to have something like that! It was from https://nft.storage/

cool, good to know! maybe put this stuff on the arweave site's homepage, it feels like a common use case that isn't really surfaced?

Unfortunately the arweave site is tragically under-maintained (its not ours) but I will certainly suggest this to that team! Thank you!
