Hey, I'd like to write an article about Magic Wormhole [1] - a tool to send files form one computer to another safely.
Outline:
- the problem it solves - how to install it (dnf install) - how to send message/file and how to receive it - where does the file go trough and why is it safe

It still requires a server (magic-wormhole-transit-relay), but the pronounceable key is a nice touch. It is really yet another work around for people stuck with IP4, as with IP6, existing tools already do the job (except for the nice pronounceable key feature).
Maybe I should write another article in my "decentralized" series, referencing this one for comparison, and showing several peer to peer methods. My favorite is simply to use 'nc' (nmap-ncat) to send a file directly to a cjdns (authenticated, p2p encrypted) IP, but e.g. p2p email has it's own advantages. It doesn't take *that* long to relay an IPv6 over a voice channel once you learn Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot.

Magic wormhole only really requires a rendevouz server. It attempts a direct connection after attempting (STUN resolved) ips and ports, and only resorts to the transfer relay when that fails. So there could be a synergy between magic wormhole and more p2p approaches.
Love the idea Miro! I for one say go for it!

OK! I'll mark it in my TODO. Don't expect it sooner than in 2 weeks, I will be busy around the Czech PyCon in the meantime.
I am completely swamped with other things, sorry for promising something I failed to deliver. This is still on my long term TODO list, but so is thousand other things, so it has no ETA :(
Let me know if you actually want this prioritized.

No worries Miro, just let us know when you have something ready to be edited :-)
