OpenClaw Founder: Project Exploded in Popularity, Hit by Crypto Speculation Bombardment On February 12, OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger shared during an interview with Lex Fridman that after the project went viral, it attracted intense attention from crypto speculators. He emphasized that any project name changes must be synchronized; otherwise, there’s a risk of accounts and resources being hijacked. During this period, a large number of crypto users flooded Discord and Twitter, spamming and continuously sending hash values in an attempt to push him to 'claim transaction fees.' The notification stream spiraled out of control. He stressed that he has no interest in any transaction fees and does not wish to support such behavior, calling it one of the worst instances of online harassment he has ever experienced.
