I am not the best at coding, developing applications etc. but every few weeks I try and make something out of logic I got in my head. So, Aegean is a tool which lets you send bitcoin in a way which is more OPSEC oriented. It allows the user to input a destination BTC address, amount and return address. Once the user clicks on “submit” it takes few seconds to generate a new deposit address and amount. User needs to send BTC to the deposit address in next 3 minutes to avoid timeout for this transaction and ultimately BTC reaches the destination address in few minutes.
In the background, BTC goes through shapeshift, XMR.TO and monero mixing makes this transaction anon compared to a normal bitcoin transaction.
I haven't made the setup executable file for the first version 0.1.0 however the code is shared on github, so you can always use Visual Studio to test things:

In future versions, I have planned to include few things from Whirlpool and Wasabi to add it in “Options” menu for making transactions better in terms of experimenting with the privacy and anonymity. I had also used Joinmarket plugin in electrum wallet which lets you mix BTC with other people for a small fees, will research about adding it in “Options” as well.
I have added an option which lets user configure tor or other proxy for this tool, please let me know if you experience any issues while using proxy. Application may throw some errors if there are connectivity issues while using proxy.
Since we are talking about “proxy” here, I would request you to read my next post which will be about some shower thoughts I had about Bitcoin and Proxy.
Any suggestions or other feedback about the tool, comment below or you can contact me on twitter: https://twitter.com/prayankgahlot
