+## sendafriend
+
+quickly send files between machines by piping them on the command line, with bidirectional authentication and metadata resistance via tor (built on cwtch)
+
+includes a way to quickly exchange onion addresses using a low-entropy shared secret (using pairwise socialist millionaires' protocol on a bbs)
+
+note that we only support files up to 64k right now, sorry :(  (a fix for this is in the works)
+
+## installation
+
+requires you to have go installed and your gopath configured correctly (sorry)
+
+`go get openprivacy.ca/openprivacy/sendafriend`
+
+## usage
+
+one-time setup, on both machines:
+`sendafriend pair [make-up-a-name]`
+
+activate the receiver first:
+`sendafriend receive [made-up-name] > file.ext`
+
+then the sender:
+`sendafriend send [made-up-name] < file.ext`
+
+## <3
