Could be the "Rendezvous relay server" a bit limitation to the transaction performance? How many servers around the world? What about the speed?

Nice project

So the comms is centralized on the rendezvous server. What happens when this serves is offline?

it could probably be decentralized to a DHT of volunteer tracker servers or something if people really wanted to do that

is this where croc came from?

What is send from host (sender) to wormhole server? I presume at least your IP adresses. Is wormhole server able to read those (I didn't uderstood cryptography part of this video)? If they are ableto read your private IP adress, that's privacy violation. Please explain it to me.

at 15:10 he explains it - the message that contains the ip addresses and ports is encrypted with the session key, so only the recipient would be able to read it, not the intermediary server.

Nice project. I would host the rendezvous server for my own business. There is no Dockerfile in the server repo so the regular human being can deploy it. The server is written in python using a framework called twisted(never heard of it). I tried to run the server by following "the documentation" (20 lines dropped in a readme file). I gave up. I am open to put some time in re-writing this in a decent programming language like Rust and deliver the server as docker container.

idk why my reply gets removed every time but it's just a matter of 3 lines of code to get it working in docker.

Um, none of what you said should be difficult for you - a regular human being trying to self host services. I kid. And anyway looks like he beat you to it anyway github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs/commit/d5588ee0e8b26a7b53f9e0e20491449585d7656f

​@@shantanunair never said that is difficult or that I am not capable (thanks for the insult btw). I just said that the project is nice the author(s) should have added a dockerfile in the repo, pretty much all services are delivered in containers these days. This will make it available to a broader audience, not only to software engineers.

Why is there no demo here? It's a nice concept, but you need to SHOW and tell.

I fail to see how this is better than symmetrically encrypting a file with PGP or something and then uploading it to one of those file hosting services he mentioned.

if it takes 10 seconds from person A to upload a file upload to file server = 10 seconds (to upload to server) + 5 seconds (person B to download from server) direct transfer = 10 seconds (to upload directly to person B) so it's just faster to directly transfer than use an intermediate server
