ARX

Clean self-custody with a separate privacy mode

What it does

ARX is an open-source, fully local Windows wallet built around two profiles. Simple keeps everyday self-custody clean across 25 networks, swaps, custom EVM networks and WalletConnect. Privacy keeps advanced tools separate with proxy-enforced connections, distinct identities, RAILGUN 0zk, Monero and shielded Zcash.

Open-source Windows self-custody wallet with a clean Simple mode and optional Privacy mode. - SeverianRoth/ARX

ARX is a Windows-first, self-custody Electron wallet under active development. It brings multi-chain balances, transfers, swaps, private assets, and EVM dApp connections into one desktop app while keeping recovery material and transaction signing on the user's device. Security status: Public beta. The wallet engine is functional, send/receive and every swap provider integration is tested with real funds. Download the current Windows installer from GitHub Releases . Release changes are recorded in CHANGELOG.md . Bitcoin supports Taproot, Native SegWit, Nested SegWit, and Legacy accounts. Custom EVM networks can be added with their public RPC and explorer details. Both setup modes are…from github.com

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
