used magic wormhole for the first time to transfer files between 2 computers in my house and it's great

computer 1:
$ wormhole send myfile.pdf
Wormhole code is: 7-crossover-clockwork

computer 2:

$ wormhole receive 7-crossover-clockwork
Receiving file (7924 bytes) into: myfile.pdf

@b0rk Oh wow. I'm as excited for this as I was when I dropbox first appeared!

@b0rk

Wow, this project has extremely well documented and easy to understand documentation that discusses cryptographic messaging problems and challenges without getting distracted by the math

It's actually a pleasure to read

@b0rk yeah. I use wormhole-william. it's compatible with magic-wormhole, and written in golang. (slightly easier to install than the python version.)

also note, there's a wormhole.app that is *not* magic wormhole. wormhole.app stores your files (encrypted) on their server.

@b0rk How does this work? Looks like it starts Tor servers on the sending and receiving machine and then uses Tor's protocol to let them auto-handshake and pass the data if the wormhole codes match?

@b0rk (mailbox server is a single point of failure; unfortunately all of the similar systems have this problem; you basically use an external server as a meeting point)

@b0rk yeah very handy tool. We enroll it to everyone during our onboarding in our company.
