FAQ

Is this the official OpenClaw documentation?
No. This is a practical survival guide written by someone who's seen users make expensive mistakes. The official docs are great for reference. This guide is for not destroying your setup.
Do I need to be technical?
You need to know how to run terminal commands and edit config files. If you installed OpenClaw, you have enough skills.
What if OpenClaw updates and breaks the guide?
You get lifetime updates. When things change, the guide gets updated. You get the new version free.
Is this just fear-mongering?
Every incident is real. Every dollar amount is real. Every fix is tested. I'm not making up problems to sell solutions—I'm documenting problems that already happened.
Why $9? That seems cheap.
This is the early access price. When I add the 3 appendices and professional formatting, it'll be $19. Early buyers get the upgrade free.
Can I get a refund?
Read the free chapter first (Chapter 1). If you find it valuable, buy the rest. If you buy and regret it within 7 days, email me and I'll refund you.
