    I often see people buy Mac minis (or other hardware) just to keep a bot running 24/7. For many OpenClaw / Moltbot / Clawdbot setups, a small VPS is enough and removes the hardware ops burden.

    OpClaw.io is a simple option: $10/mo for 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 150GB SSD, with OpenClaw + dependencies preinstalled. You SSH in, configure, and it's running.

      How burdensome is hardware maintenance if it's a dedicated machine running a bot though? It should be pretty hands-off, especially if you're not doing anything overly funky with it.

      As an aside, the review carousel and the star button at the bottom feels a bit misleading: at a glance, you'd think it's about OpClaw, but it's not. Combined with the lack of policy information on the page, it doesn't exactly instill trust. Given that folks seem to provide the bot way too much access, it's important to know more about who you're dealing with and how they act as a intermediary.

      What's your pitch on why users should trust this?
