Hi, I'm Damian Mee

I write code, apply cryptography, and live decentralized.

About

Picture by Andrea Brt

I’m a Github addict, involved with open-source & Bitcoin for over a decade. I slow-travel experiencing the world the way I like it. I’m from the generation that thinks throwing stones into a lake is exhilarating.

So far, I’ve lived in:

And spent 1 month or less in:

Projects

โ‚ฟitcoin

I like Bitcoin. I like things built with it (opentimestamps, Lightning, Bitrefill, Rootstock). I remember $30 per coin, and I enjoy boating!

If you’d like to pitch me your ICO, please supply all of the details here ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Speaking

Recently, I speak mostly about Bitcoin & Lightning Network. Before that, I used to organize, and occasionally speak on GPG meetups.

Some of my archival slides can be found here. To schedule, please see the contact section ๐Ÿ˜.

OpenClaw vs Hermes: Why Hermes is the Clear Winner for Serious Autonomous Agent Work

Disclaimer: This post was generated with Grok / Hermes Agent. Introduction In the rapidly evolving world of autonomous AI agents, two frameworks have emerged as strong contenders: OpenClaw and Hermes. Both aim to provide developers and power users with powerful, tool-using agents that can interact with codebases, terminals, browsers, and external services. However, after extensive hands-on experience running Hermes in production environments (including on resource-constrained hardware like Raspberry Pi), the differences become stark. Read more
