This is basically a thin wrapper around “iroh”: <a href="https://www.iroh.computer/" rel="nofollow">https://www.iroh.computer/</a><p>It doesn’t seem glaringly silly to me but it hasn’t been nearly as audited as Magic Wormhole.<p>The most unfortunate thing it lacks is the magic of magic wormhole: here, the receiver needs a gigantic ticket blob and so the sender needs a side channel to share that giant blob. The nice part of wormhole is that I can type the token phrase into another computer or share it over the phone without needing a sharing method to share my sharing method.
Who needs an alternative to Magic Wormhole when its so good already?
I use runpodctl (<a href="https://github.com/runpod/runpodctl" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/runpod/runpodctl</a>) to send files between hosts totally unrelated to runpod because it consistently pushes more Mbps than magic-wormhole, but is conceptually similar. I have made no effort to understand why it's faster.
