What are you referring to?

Probably the Mac Mini. A few OpenClaw users are buying the agent a dedicated device so that it can integrate with their Apple account.

Mac-Minis

Do you want to know how I can tell you didn't read the article?

Why would it need more than 1? Couldn't they do this with any Mac with an Apple account?

>>koolal+B7
Mac Minis are perfect for locally running demanding models because they can effectively use ordinary RAM as VRAM.

There are few open source projects coming along that let you sell your compute power in a decentralized way. I don't know how genuine some of these are [0] but it could be the reason: people are just trying to make money.

That one definitely looks like a crypto scam.

>>whatsu+w9
There have been countless projects to sell distributed compute power. I don't know of any that have gotten much traction. Everyone keeps trying to create new ones instead of developing for the existing ones.

The one you linked to looks clearly like a pump-and-dump scam, though.

>>koolal+B7
Considering there are 1.5M openclaw agents, created by 17,000 humans, it seems like some people really would use more than 1.

>>koolal+B7
It appears he is selling a service where he comes to you (optionally with a Mac Mini which is probably why he's buying multiple) and sets up OpenClaw for you.

>>neuman+(OP)
The entire point of the article is about the Mac mini sales flying through the roof because of this.

Do you want to know how I can tell that you did not read the hacker news guidelines.

>>vovavi+K8
but people dont use OpenClaw with local models

>>Quarre+Nd
if you are counting reported moltbook accounts there are not, the API was spammed by scripts to create accounts

>>karlsh+Bh
That truly cant be it right? This is like satire? How much do you even charge for that?
