Aegean for Android will have different options to mix bitcoins:
In this first release there is only one option and it asks the user for BTC amount, refund address and destination BTC address for doing an anonymous bitcoin transaction
The user will submit the details and receive a response:
BTC amount to be deposited and address to which BTC has to be sent
In the background XMR.TO and Coinswitch APIs are involved. There is nothing complex but simple exchange of BTC and XMR takes place in the background similar to Aegean application I had made for Windows in past. I wanted to use morphtoken APIs because they are also used on localmonero p2p exchange. However, they have implemented the exchange in such a way that it’s not possible to get the deposit amount, exchange rate, exchange amount locked for some time for a trade and that’s why it was difficult to use it with XMR.TO
Changelly disabled XMR while creating this app so had to drop it.
It will be open source and code will be shared soon with the first release information.
Plans in next 6 months:
Add at least 10 different ways to mix bitcoins or send BTC anonymously
Plans in next 2 months:
- Contact HodlHodl at escrow-api@hodlhodl.com to discuss how we can use peer to peer non custodial system to achieve the same thing as it’s done right now using Coinswitch and XMR.TO APIs so that we don’t need to trust any third party.
- Integrate Samourai Whirlpool APIs in the app so that users can do coinjoin as implemented by Samourai.
- Add another option to mix bitcoins using CPFP, bitcoind ZMQ and Multisig
Ideas and research about the different ways to improve privacy in Bitcoin transactions will be done by me and the Android app development is done by my younger brother Prashant
