This is more or less a Golang port of [@warner](https://github.com/warner's) [*magic-wormhole*](https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole). I wrote this because I wanted to send my friend Jessie a file using *magic-wormhole*. However, Jessie doesn't like the idea of putting Python on her computer because it is a giant snake. So, nominally, this is a version of *magic-wormhole* without the dependencies that you can just double-click on your computer, even if you use Windows.

But, no we don't, because after review, [I found it was useful to make a new one](https://schollz.github.io/sending-a-file/).
