   This post resonated with me and the inconsistencies certainly don’t add to the already bad discoverability of CLI arguments. Personally, I find using -h/—-help the most sane way (YMMV).

   I‘m wondering if they could avoid yet another breaking protocol change if SHA256 proves to be insecure (at some point in the future) if they made use of Multiformats [0]. At least IPFS went this way (Multiformats grew out of the IPFS develo

    While I’m also terribly sorry for what happens in Afghanistan and think the discussion on HN will be more thoughtful than in many other places on the internet, I believe these kind of submissions don’t belong here. https://news.y

    Could you elaborate why you don’t think it’s a good idea? I think the author made clear why he/she thinks it is. Exactly these kind of posts are what is needed for technologies like IPFS to gain traction. Tinkering, trying, sharing, on

    A couple of days ago I’ve released an IPFS DHT crawler and named it Nebula [0] if I knew that this was such a crowded place… [0] https://github.com/dennis-tra/nebula-crawler

    Magic wormhole isn’t strictly peer to peer nor uses WebRTC as the traffic is routed through a relay server. This was my motivation to build one of these hundreds file sharing tools [0]. My aim was to build a truly decentralised file sharing

    There is a server involved for mediating peer discovery but the file transfer itself is p2p. Regarding your second point: I’m actually not sure if the file is copied into memory or if the browser just keeps a reference. I haven’t tried it w

    I‘ve also built a file transfer tool (CLI) with emphasis on decentralization. It’s a fully decentralized p2p file transfer tool based on libp2p: https://github.com/dennis-tra/pcp I‘m currently trying to make it interop

    I really enjoyed learning about all the concepts [0] and it's amazing what libp2p is doing for you behind the scenes - I'm thinking especially of NAT handling and relaying. I think the APIs to have simple, sequential request/

    That's indeed correct and was exactly what I meant with > I haven’t covered edge cases So, thanks for your suggested solution! I think that's how I would implement it as well. The receiver looks for two windows and the sender b

    The Public-Key verification was intended as an additional sanity check and I considered it not secure enough to just rely on it alone - so I added the PAKE step as well. As lotharrr mentioned other flaws, you may want to check out his sugge

    Thanks for your feedback and the kind words as I have great respect for magic-wormhole as well! I watched your talk at PyCon 2016 several times as I was building pcp. > [...] it creates a libp2p keypair, uses the first 44 bits of the pub

    Thanks @wngr! I really appreciate that this project gets a little attention. Libp2p provides ways to establish a connection through NATs. For more information I recommend looking up the Identify [0] and Circuit Relay [1] protocols, as well

    Thanks @mapgrep, I fixed the typo based on your comment, but couldn’t reply timely due to the noprocrast setting of HN.
