Show HN: Vincent – A delegation framework for wallet automation

glitch003 — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 18:31:44 +0000

Vincent lets users safely grant apps/agents limited, revocable permission to use their wallets. Think “OAuth for crypto actions”: you define scopes (e.g., “rebalance stables on Aave up to $1k/day”), users approve, and your app runs within on-chain guardrails. Non-custodial. Built with Lit Protocol's decentralized programmable signing.

How does this compare to libp2p?

fwiw, tesla, the biggest "no physical buttons" company, does not have this problem at all. it's always very responsive, window buttons always work, there's no "startup" delay at all.

so i guess the choice is between companies that do tech poorly (legacy automakers) and one that does it right but with a big touch screen.

it's still USDS, they just changed the "D" from digital to DOGE

we get the whole US AID budget back, aside from PEPFAR. it's a good example of a case where they cut too much and undid some cuts.

surprisingly, it works excellent in rain. i was on the highway in florida in a torrential downpour, the kind where everyone turns their flashers on and goes 25mph. many people pulled over to wait it out. FSD handled it perfectly even though i could barely see. it did show a warning that it might be degraded due to weather, but there was no change in performance.

i can't speak for snow tho.

same way you do it in the iphone simulator - you hold the option key and the mouse button, and move the mouse up or down to simulate pinch to zoom.

Hi HN - we’re building Payout.Team for freelancers, consultants, and contractors who work on projects together.

Here’s how it works: a users sends an invoice to their client, when the client pays, the funds are automatically routed to the members of the team / subcontractors. Payout.Team takes care of all the on-boarding and tax paper work for the subcontractors, including internationally.

With Google Fi you have to have a Google Pixel Phone, and it just works. Google is a MVNO so they can buy tower time from any carrier.

Edit: And yeah it's a single SIM.

Well, Google Apps accounts are for businesses, so it makes sense that they wouldn't work like a personal account.

They are Vegan. From mcd's website:

"Our World Famous Fries™ and hash browns are go-tos for our vegetarian and vegan guests. Since 2007, we’ve made them without any animal-sourced ingredients. We cook them in 100% vegetable oil, in a dedicated fryer separate from our meat items."

That's the whole point of the blockchain. Your money is sovereign. There is nobody to call when it gets stolen, but this also means that no government or bank or agency can take your money or prevent you from being paid (see Visa/Mastercard vs Wikileaks etc)

False. See cryptographic signing. A keyholder can sign a message with a private key, proving they possess the key, without exposing the key itself.

I say to Project Alias "Call my friend Chris".

Project Alias requires no network connection to do nefarious things.

>Instead of buying 19-month-old scooter company for $2B

Actually, Lyft has a scooter program that is the result of an acquisition.

"It wasn’t until July, when Lyft acquired Motivate, the nation’s largest bike-share operator, that the company began to send signals that it was considering joining the frenzy."
