RealNode Anti-Scalper

Stop scalper bots with hardware biometrics, zero friction

What it does

RealNode adds a hardware-backed security layer to websites using FIDO2/WebAuthn. It uses security features already available on a user's device, such as Touch ID, Face ID, or a device PIN, to help tell real users apart from automated sessions. Bots can imitate browser behavior, but they can't simply reproduce the cryptographic proof from a user's device authenticator. No biometric data is stored by RealNode.

Hardware-backed bot protection, anti-spam, and fraud prevention for WooCommerce. Stops scalper bots and fake orders at checkout with zero friction.

Every high-demand sale carries the same risk: automated scripts claim your inventory in seconds, real customers miss out, and your support team spends days handling frustrated buyers. RealNode eliminates that scenario at the source. Instead of analyzing traffic patterns and making guesses, RealNode asks a simple question that bots cannot answer: prove you are a human being, with a real device, right now. Automated scripts fail instantly. Real customers answer in a single tap. The result is a checkout experience that feels identical to your customers — and completely closed to bots.

    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.
