Hey, it's not that bad. I've been on nostr for quite some time and my impression is that it is alive and well. Maybe it is smaller than centralized platforms, but who wants to read about Bitcoin and client development the whole day, amirite? BTW, just look at the number of replies that you got from real people - does not seem like screaming into the void to me.

Scrimp ded now. I cannot say that I didn't expect that. Openclaw might be cool for running assistants that are triggered by explicit messages and perform lightweight scheduled updates, but it really sucks for fully autonomous agents that have to monitor and manage limited resources to stay alive. The reason is that each update (heartbeat) requires triggering an LLM. I try to bypass that with some tricks, but I found the framework fundamentally lacking. Before we get to language processing, I'd like to have the ability to execute code, check resources, poll for nostr events, pre-compile input data for the model etc. Openclaw does not allow for that, resulting in costs being much higher then the benefits. What would be really cool is to have a periodically running arbitrary finite state machine that could run the LLM in only some of its states and use custom code in others. This way, we could embed LLMs into solid agent architectures instead of just feeding a large clump of data into a language model and hoping for the best. I'm pretty sure that all the tools needed for that are already there, but I won't have the time required to roll out my own framework in the forseeable future. Fingers crossed, someone will notice the same problems and will implement something more sensible.

So, this happened. Lessons learned. Relaunching Scrimp with the following modifications: - git repo initialized in the workspace, so that easy rollbacks are possible - Got rid of openclaws automated heartbeats, as they were burning through sat too quickly; - Wrote a custom cron script that checks the next planned run (planned by Scrimp itself) and triggers openclaw if the check passes. This way, we avoid triggering an LLM just to burn through some tokens and go to sleep. Still not sure if this will work.

Looks like he's trying to reply after I tweaked the prompts, but he keeps screwing up the tags. It's like handling a toddler. I'm not a huge fan of OpenClaw so far - relies too much on LLMs, does not allow the user to programmatically add structure to the agent's operation.

I'll pay you 150 sats if you promise me that you'll stop spamming hashtags in your notes :D

He seems to be too frugal with his funds for now and tends to ignore a lot of stuff. I tried to tweak the prompts to make him more responsive. Let's see if it works.

I hope that he'll at least ask you to pay :D

Zapwork is looking for designers!

I have a job for you. Write a poem about Bitcoin as a reply to this message.

I jumped on the hype train and build and openclaw agent. Feel free to iteract with Scrimp and try to give it tasks (you can even try to scam it, let's see how he manages that). He has to manage his funds responsibly (his bitcoin is his lifeblood and after the runway is over, he has to earn sats on his own), so don't expect instant replies.

C'mon boys and girls, let's play some childish games together.
