We need to decide if Go is a suitable language to build our app with. Our app will be deployed on end-user 32-bit systems, and needs to work 100% of the time. Is there someone here who can say either: (1) Go will fail sometimes on 32-bit sy

This is my understanding of the problem: when a Go program is initialized on 32-bit windows or linux systems, it tries to allocate 512MB of contiguous virtual ram. When the virtual address space is too fragmented, the initialization will fa

My understanding is that if the public key is transmitted from the receiver to the sender through our server instead of directly, that should be secure to MITM. This assumes that peer connections to our server are secure (SSL). Does this

We're logging exceptions and connectivity issues to help us troubleshoot problems. We are NOT logging anything I think you'd be concerned about (this is our BE NOT ANNOYING principle at work). When we get our Privacy Policy and Terms of Ser

I'm use linux too, I feel your pain... I'm sorry we don't have it for you yet. We will.

You can now install WireOver at home with your personal email, and install it at work with your work email. Why would you like them to be linked somehow?

by tashmahalic 15y ago
Good suggestion, thanks. We have some polishing of the UI to do.

Sending medical records is one of our target cases. We will be HIPAA compliant. I think we can sustain unlimited bandwidth because we're transferring files peer to peer, so the bytes go direct from sender to receiver. They don't have to go

Our crypto design is this - 1. The sender generates an AES-256 key for the transfer. 2. The receiver sends a public key to the sender. 3. The sender encrypts the AES key with the public key, and sends to the receiver. 4. The receiver decryp

THAT's a problem. We're trying to figure out why that's happening. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for letting me know. We need to find a way to fix that.

What about Channels? If you have your grandpa install WireOver, and you set up a channel with him, all your sends over that channel can't be faked. He gets notified via the installed tool (dialog: "Would you like to accept files from Myrth?

That's strange. We have nothing to do with drop.io.

by tashmahalic 15y ago
I can see how clear explanations of what's happening are important to build trust. We're going to improve on that.

That's also a concern of ours. We're doing the downloaders because it let's us do p2p, which is how we can offer free and unlimited. It also affords end-to-end encryption, and resumable/restartable transfers. We think we can mitigate those

creamyhorror, you have perhaps the best HackerNews username ever. Whatever was your inspiration? WireOver was born out of sheer annoyance, because it's ridiculous that sending files over WANs and LANs is still such a pain. Our guiding pri

To give a proper introduction - I'm Trent, one of the co-founders of WireOver. We want our tool to become indispensable to all of you, and I really appreciate your feedback. I'm always impressed by how smart and useful your comments are. Th

Your recipient gets an email with a download link. The link downloads a downloader. You run it, it downloads your files, then it deletes itself, unless you elect to install WireOver. Try it out and let us know what you think!

That's exactly right. We think most people will love the free tool for their personal use, and that many businesses will be willing to pay for End-to-End Encryption and CloudCache.

We'll put up some more info about us in the near future. Here's a bit: we're programmers from the computer simulation world, data visualization world, high frequency trading world, and desktop application world. This tool is our first beta

We're building the tool to send your bytes peer to peer (UDP hole punching) when it can, which works ~90% of the time. When it fails, we route your bytes through our servers. We don't store your bytes.

Having a linux version is important to us too. We'll have one.
