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

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.

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

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

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

Are you saying that software is THAT inefficient so that you can’t run a few hundred of them on a single Mac Mini? : D

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.

		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.

		That one definitely looks like a crypto scam.
