I was looking at Swiss franc banknotes today and it reminded me of something: Pakistan’s State Bank was supposed to introduce a completely redesigned series of currency notes.
At first, we were told it would happen within a few months. Then the timeline became six months, then three months, then two months. Every time, there was another update and people were getting excited about finally seeing new notes with modern security features and new technology.
Then… nothing.
A year passed. Then another six or seven months. Still no new notes.
So what actually happened? Was the whole announcement just a massive case of “coming soon™”? 😂
I’m genuinely curious whether anyone knows what is happening behind the scenes. Was the project delayed, cancelled, stuck in approvals, or did they simply run into technical/financial problems?
Because at this point, it feels like the new currency notes arrived as a breeze, made everyone excited for a few months, and then completely disappeared.
Does anyone have a reliable update on the actual status of Pakistan’s new currency note series?

I’ve been using Hermes for quite a while now, and so far it hasn’t felt particularly useful for me. I want to start using it more seriously and actually automate parts of my work with it.
I’m looking for any good skills/plugins I can add that would let Hermes:
• Generate leads for me
• Write and automatically send emails
• Edit videos
Right now it can’t edit videos, can’t write + auto-send emails, and can’t generate leads.
I also need solid frontend + backend skills (or n8n community nodes / similar) so it can build websites for me with a proper, clean frontend. Currently the frontend it produces isn’t good enough.
Two more practical questions:

1. What’s the best browser I should give Hermes access to so it can browse the internet smoothly and see everything properly?
2. I’ve already given it full access to my computer. When it tries to use my computer (like Cursor does — websites, browser, etc.), the flow is not smooth. It keeps hitting problems and errors. What can I do so it can use everything on my machine cleanly and without constant issues, since it already has complete access?
   Any recommended skills, setups, browser suggestions, or workflow tips would be really helpful.

I’ve been running OpenClaw since the day it dropped (almost exactly 4 months now). The amount of hype around this thing was unreal. Influencers were dropping reels every minute acting like it was the second coming of AGI.
Reality check:
• It has zero self-awareness of its own WhatsApp bot. Doesn’t know who it replied to or what it even did.
• Memory is pure hallucination. Connect a new number and it still tries to use the old ones.
• You constantly have to babysit it guide it on one task, then go fix the memory yourself.
• Gateway setup is a nightmare. When it dies (and it does), getting it back up is painful.
• Out of 4 months, I easily spent 2 just debugging this thing.
• Needs separate APIs for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter just to browse. No native capability.
• Every session: keep browser open, message it, run gateway, run doctor checks, check this, check that…
• You still have to manually tell it to go search the internet. It doesn’t just do it.
Compare that to actual tools that have one-click setup, desktop apps, and can even use your local computer properly (Codex, Claude, Co-work style).
I know people who got sucked into the influencer hype, connected Claude API, burned $3k–$4k in api costs, and made exactly zero. The whole “I’ve made millions with this” narrative is pure cope.
At this point Claude-based bot setups like this feel dead. If you actually want something usable:
• Run personal Hermes
• Or just use Claude Co-work
• Or check the Gemini Spark that’s out
I already shared my setup publicly showing how much of a useless, fucked-up mess this agent is. Close to dog shit tier.
Anyone else still defending this after actually using it for months, or did the hype just cook everyone’s brain?
