When trying to create new accounts on the Solana blockchain, users have reported encountering an error when attempting to enable token minting. Specifically, the following message has been seen:

Symptoms and Steps to Take
The symptoms of this issue are as follows:
- Trying to create a new account on the Solana blockchain

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Disable Minting – First, disable minting of your token by running the following command:
