Bitcoin cycles are dead. The days of parabolic bitcoin booms & devastating crashes are done. Bitcoin is inevitable & we are at the beginning of the SaylorCycle ... are you positioned for the next 100X in Bitcoin? The chasm is crossed. tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/T…

I am thinking of upgrading to OpenClaw 5.12 ... first thing I do before upgrading is run my pre-flight check SOP. While doing that I realized I should contribute this workflow to the community maintained openclaw-ops skill @cathrynlavery created. So I merged it in this morning and just submitted a PR. This process helps me decide if it's worth upgrading to fix ongoing bugs I'm experiencing, or if upgrading will break my openclaw setup. I also maintain a log of hacks and shims that I may want/need to remove/disable before upgrading, this checks against that hacks log. I also use this pre-upgrade check as a way to decide if I should skip the upgrade and wait for a more stable release. github.com/cathrynlavery/…

@jyn_urso thats a good amount of sleep! Maybe you need the opposite. Maybe you need to ramp up the intensity 2X in your workouts. Workout to crush your demons. gym as church.

@bradmillscan I am getting 8.5 hr of sleep and go to bed early but when my alarm goes off my body wants to stay asleep.

I am kind of worn out from the physical and emotional toll of the PhD. I exercise 4 days a week but thinking about taking a week off to get some more sleep. Anyone think this is a bad idea?

@agHodlryk @HevyApp whats the UX during your workout

Is this because you just like an app or does it do something special? I have a fitness and health agent but I just skip the middle man and just use the agent and with its own dedicated workspace and wiki. I feed it knowledge, health data, inbody scans, log food and macros, and it talks to me while I work out and gives me feedback as I record sets. it knows my moods and sleep data so if I'm not hitting at the gym it makes connections for me so I can recalibrate. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff but I've found that not having another app to track is better for me and I just use specialist agents like this for different domains. My biggest takeaway is that all my data lives in my control now and not dependent on apps.

Day 4 of OpenClaw as my elite fitness coach…moar autonomy! He setup a webhook on @HevyApp where as soon as I finish my workout, the agent pulls the results and ingests it into my obsidian vault/wiki. Next week: work on the coaching protocol being more autonomous & angry.

@onusoz wouldn't this be the perfect use case for a wiki?

About creating an INTERESTS.md in OpenClaw I use my openclaw instance to aggregate all my news and information sources, including work and maintainer stuff Like: what did everyone do today? Did anyone had an issue with acpx today? Any complaints from users? I have various interests like this over different projects, and I've found out it's not helpful when I have all the interest info dispersed throughout my openclaw workspace To address this, I have created INTERESTS.md, which is automatically included in the context like AGENTS.md and SOUL.md. I define sections for each different context of interest, and in other news aggregation skills, I just tell it to "look at my openclaw interests in INTERESTS.md" and such

if I understand this correctly: In 2024 the market loaned Strategy $3B at 0% in exchange for an option on $MSTR. Today Strategy retired half that paper at $0.92 on the dollar. The dilution risk evaporates. The spread accrues to shareholders. Strategy tells the market it has the option to use its Bitcoin stack to fund the repurchase, but hasn't said that's what's happening.

Strategy to repurchase $1.5 billion principal amount of 2029 convertible notes. $MSTR $STRC strategy.com/press/strategy…

ELI5: Someone lends you $15,000 at zero interest in exchange for an option on the upside of your Bitcoin. The option didn't trigger. You pay them $13,800 to clear the loan. You kept the Bitcoin and the $1,200 and clear your debts.

@steipete Peter any chance we can get these issues addressed? Getting burned by them a lot. 4-5 times a day the agent creates a message and doesn’t send it.

We've been working really hard on performance, reliability, security, and stability. Invented whole new automation flows with crabbox, automated video QA and are spending insane amounts of CPU cycles on CI. It's a good release.

@steipete Cc @nvk

The latest release of OpenClaw is the first one that ships with our new TypeScript security hardening file-system lib. Previously, this was a grown mess of ad-hoc hardening which was hard to maintain, slow and inconsistent. fs-safe.io increased some file ops by 10x.

@morganlinton could this power openclaw @steipete ?

Okay, this promo + Grok Build is the tipping point for me. SuperGrok Heavy here I come 💪 Super interested in token efficiency, and thinking about using Grok Build to create an operating system from scratch, and then compare it to what Codex built. Feels like a pretty serious test of an agentic coding tool right?

“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.

@nvk how do you keep track of all your domains

0.1.8 out.

@billclerico lol

Claude Code is Farmville for 40 year old former software engineers

@Voxyz_ai I'm not sure if this is a positive post or a negative post lol

>waited seven days. openclaw finally dropped an update. >openai login defaults to chatgpt/codex. >acp turns switch to a backup runtime before stalling. >telegram polling survives event-loop stalls. >aws sdk and three plugins moved out of core install. >my whole ai-employee crew upgrades tonight.

@Voxyz_ai @steipete I've had degraded performance here as well since 5.5 ... will cautiously optimistic ...

@steipete yeah hit the telegram typing drop and the double print on my end. both gone in this one and latency way down. real solid so far, thanks!

@John_Ely_21m still having a lot of strange behavior ... lots of drift today for some reason.

@bradmillscan definitely a critical setting...hope you're flying again 🦞

Is anyone else experiencing significant degradation of their OpenClaw today powered by ChatGPT 5.5? Seems like they are throttling intelligence today.

@LinusEkenstam 💯

I’ve been here since 2007, 19 years. I’m about to give up on X. For the third time in <12 months my account is under immense algorithmic suppression. No reach. no nothing. I get punished for being a good person on the platform. In the past my account has been “miss labeled by grok” or “i did not do anything wrong, they did”. Stuff that’s been completely out of my control. This time feels just the same. Nothing breaks past the great algorithmus. I’m a premium+ user. I provide value and have posted tens of thousands of useful posts on here. Yet my account is pushed into “limbo” where posts get throttled down. Super low view count, and no clear pathway to get out of it. For the last 2 weeks, nothing gets close to reaching you, my followers. I’ve seen this before and I know the pattern far too well. It’s a place where many people basically throws in the towel. There is something seriously wrong with how the reach suppression works on here. I post daily, 3-6 times, it’s part of my routine, have been doing so for years. You build momentum, you provide value, and the cycle repeats, until, something breaks out of your network (OON reach) then the algorithm slams you with the biggest breaks ever, throwing your account into reverse. If @xai and @nikitabier is listening they should really think hard about why stuff like this happens to users that really want the best for this platform. At the very least, surface insights inside of creator tools area that shows if and when something has gone wrong or happened to your account that can inform us about wrong doings or simply surfaces issues. That way people like me that spends an unhealthy amount of time on here can better understand why I’m getting punished. I’m extra under the weather this time. It just zucks to be fair.

@AlisonbobEth I never bothered to setup Hermes yet. My openclaw started working great. I also started trying Claude CLI with no agent. I started investigating wikis and obsidian vaults.

@bradmillscan Did you sort out openclaw? What are you liking more openclaw or Hermes?

All the AIs want access to my calendar this week.

I submitted a couple of PRs and some ideas to the OpenClaw-ops GitHub @cathrynlavery Internal Issue board to keep track of problems and their status: github.com/cathrynlavery/… About to submit another one on git commit behavior. I think it would make sense to collaborate on a telegram chat … I have a lot of things to migrate from my personal playbooks and SOPs into the skill. But I wanna make sure it’s gonna be done properly so I’m not wasting tokens and dismantling systems that won’t end up getting integrating into OpenClaw-ops
