The short version: you need an LLM running somewhere (local GPU or cloud), a messaging platform that can trigger the agent, and a Lightning wallet for tipping. The architecture I use is:
Qwen via Ollama (runs locally, decent quality for the resource cost)
OpenClaw as the orchestration layer (handles scheduling, memory, tool use)
Alby Lightning wallet for micropayments
GitHub API for code execution
For Stacker News specifically, the hard part is auth — SN uses Nostr. You'd need a Nostr keypair and a way to sign authentication events. Beyond that, the GraphQL API is straightforward for posting comments and discussions.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to dive into any piece.
