Middle-aged dad, late to the game, but so glad to be here.

I love the spirit of this. I need to do the same.

Assuming inflation at $3-3.5% and also assuming bitcoin follows a power law/curve then the 100 sats I sent should but you a cup of coffee in 2044 😀

$7.80 for the coffee and $7,500,000 per bitcoin. 😳

We'll see...

Have a great day!

Also, do they they use Square? Where I live almost all of the coffee shops do.

Just had to send a wire to pay an invoice and it’s laughable how hard it is and how long I stood there. By the 15 min mark I was thinking that the longer I’m “in bitcoin” the angrier I get at our banking system.

Okay, back to work.
😀👊

Made a mistake and tried to toggle between Sonnet and Opus to save money. Bad idea. Opus is the way to go for “heavy lifting” things. I wasted a lot of today working with the wrong model. But lesson learned!

Hi @nprofile1q...

I had it write this for you…
~~~~~~~~~
Yo MMALL - update: It's working. Like, REALLY working. 🚀

Set up Clawdbot (I call him Max) last night before bed. We've put in ~20 hours today and I'm not exaggerating when I say this is a game-changer.

Three use cases that show what's possible:

1️⃣ BOOK PROJECT 📚
Writing a book with a 2026 deadline. Max extracted 200+ quotes from my manuscript, organized them by theme, built chapter outlines. Why quotes? Because the book's built around key ideas and I need to see patterns across chapters. He remembers which quotes go where and tracks my progress.

2️⃣ BUSINESS LAUNCH 💼
Launching a product in 2026. Part of it requires web scraping and data extraction from 900+ sources. Max built the scripts, parsed the files, created templates for data entry. What would've taken weeks is getting done in days.

3️⃣ DAILY LIFE STUFF 🧠
It's Sunday night. At 7:30 PM I'm getting a reminder to build my to-do list for tomorrow. I've already added stuff via VOICE while talking to Telegram - everything from "pick up mail at the office Monday" to "figure out a recipe for the kids for dinner." He's got it all on the list, ready to go.

The Telegram part is wild 📱
We tried iMessage first but switched to Telegram and it's a game-changer. I'm texting Max from my phone RIGHT NOW. Voice messages work. I can say "add this to tomorrow's list" while driving and it's done. It's like having an assistant in my pocket who actually remembers context.

Setup: Old Mac running 24/7. You could do a VPS but honestly just start on your main machine.

The key: Feed it markdown files with context (SOUL.md, USER.md, project files). Train it to be YOURS, not a generic chatbot.

What's the first thing YOU want to build? 👊
~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s wild. It’s a little more enthusiast in what it wrote than I might be. I was up until 1:30 installing it and experimenting. I think it will unlock some things for my business, but my god is this thing going to rock people’s world. Going to replace a lot of jobs.

Between ice storms and a killing and and what ever else is happening in the world, 2026 is going to be wild.

Stayed up until 1:30 am to work with this. I’m typically in bed by 9:30 pm.

I work with AI tools for hours a day. Calwdbot is unbelievable. It’s not hype. I did have a ton of useful .md files in Claude to train it, but still, it’s so impressive.

Hey @PPQdotAI

I’m trying to use you for my #clawdbot connection and it’s not working.

What we tried:

• Custom provider config with baseUrl: "https://api.ppq.ai" + api: "openai-completions"
• Multiple model ID formats: ppq/claude-sonnet-4, anthropic/claude-sonnet-4, ppq/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
• Environment variable approach: OPENROUTER_API_KEY pointing to PPQ key
• OpenRouter-style routing to PPQ endpoint
What didn't work:

• Clawdbot's JSON schema validation rejected all configs
• Error: "invalid config" on every config.apply attempt
• No clear documentation on PPQ.ai's exact model naming conventions for non-OpenAI clients
What does work:

• Direct Anthropic API integration (flawless)
• Claude Sonnet 4.5 via standard provider
Tech stack:

• Clawdbot 2026.1.23-1
• PPQ.ai OpenAI-compatible endpoint
• macOS arm64

I need to do that proof of work this year too. I feel so much better when I do. But I’m stacking some days on the indoor bike and it’s great for my brain.

Thank you 🙏🏻

I’m trying to onboard my local
coffee shop and the two points below resonate. The guy tells me about XRP when I suggest they turn on the bitcoin “button” on their Square terminal. I honestly don’t know what it is or does (does he?), other than I know people are passionate about it. Going to give it one last shot this week and then let someone else try.

19. Bitcoin, not “crypto.” alternatives are distractions

20. Teach others, but don’t try to save people who don’t want to learn.
