Bug#833090: ITP: magic-wormhole -- Securely and simply transfer data between computers

[<roman_calin@mail.md>]

Hi Jamie

I-m agree that: This is an extremely cool piece of software, but to
make it more cooler
leave the option of an complicated shared passphrase also, do not limit
your self to 
simplicity because of main knowledge of computers and Informatics in
society let it be
simple for simple users but with hided complex encoding options for a
few! and i think
it will be awesome if there in time will appear possibility of VOIP in
magic-wormhole
