Who needs an alternative to Magic Wormhole when its so good already?
I use runpodctl (https://github.com/runpod/runpodctl) 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.
Magic wormhole craps out semi-regularly for me, and its a pita to script.
It doesn’t seem glaringly silly to me but it hasn’t been nearly as audited as Magic Wormhole.
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.
