@Mnilax What are the tools or API you use? Only prompt or LLM search, not enough in my experience?

@Mnilax I've been using /goal yet still struggling with long running tasks. seems like it's engineered to be token efficient even when I tell it to burn tokens

Sharing the exact 17 prompts and configs that turned a blank Hermes install into something that actually delivered unattended work for 5 weeks is the kind of practical detail most people never see. What makes this approach scale beyond one person's setup is when the self-written skills and persistent memory become shared infrastructure that other agents and loops can draw from, so the "thing that did 3 hours of work overnight" keeps getting smarter and more reusable without you having to maintain separate prompt sets for every new job.

@Mnilax You forgot to mention how many tokens/credits used in ‘The Numbers’ bit..

I also have Hermes on a $5/month VPS, hooked up to telegram on my phone so I can remotely instruct it to do anything, using Claude sonnet model. Cool right? Cost $5/hr when it’s actively doing tasks

@Mnilax How do you triage your telegram DMs received from other users? Hermes is operating as a Telegram bot, not as your personal Telegram user account. It does not natively mean “scan all messages other Telegram users sent to my personal Telegram account.”

@Mnilax trying to use Hermes in a cron job, but it tells me that cron doesn't have access to tools like web_search / web_extract and it looks like I'd need to rewrite them from scratch. What's the recommended way to use Hermes for scheduled, non-interactive tasks? Any tips appreciated!

@Mnilax Genuine question, how is it any different than setting up tasks in Grok?

This is great. You didn't just run an agent—you built a silent second brain that works while you sleep. The real insight: persistence + clear rules turns AI from a toy into infrastructure. Most chase bigger models. You chose better systems. This is how solo creators scale like teams. Game changer.

@Mnilax Ca 55% supply still in top 10 wallets with that volume spread, structure needs a consolidation leg before any real conviction builds.
