You want to obscure your own coins?

I've been into security for a long time. I don't use the dnms, but I browse this sub almost daily because I am a tor, encryption, infosec, and crypto currency enthusiast. Over my years I've written some CLI tools that I use for things like gpg, bitcoin management, etc. Most of them probably won't be too useful for people here as Tails has come a long way in usability. I have seen a lot of post about tumbling coins and obscuring the connection between bitcoin markets and dnm markets. Here are a couple from just today:

It's blatantly apparent that a lot of the people purchasing items around here have a very tenuous grasp of computering in general, but especially bitcoin/crypto. Which brings me to my point. Would anyone around here find it useful to have a CLI tool that works on tails for automating some bitcoin transfers and creating a plausible deniablility situation? I've been coding one for fun, but I'm a bit bored with it, and I wouldn't mind rewriting for use on tails os if there would be use for it.

If you are able and willing (Python), why not take a look and contribute to: https://github.com/chris-belcher/joinmarket/wiki
It's an actively developed P2P mixer (& tumbler) with built-in economic incentive for people to use it. (Those who provide liquidity get paid, not some central admin).
It's running the CoinJoin algorithm: trustless, decentralized, open source & secure (not one knows your input address & your output addresses, unlike the operator of a service who knows them exactly). View the orderbook http://joinmarket.io/

Isn't simply sending BTC to an intermediary wallet "plausible deniability"?

If I can be connected to Wallet A, all I have to do is send first to Wallet B, then to Wallet C. Voila, no one can prove I own Wallet C. Maybe Wallet B belonged to another person, or some bitcoin business.

Tumbling is the biggest ongoing scam perpetuated on newbies here. Listen to this guy, no one cares about your gram of MDMA order, or your 50 Xanax bars. If a buyer is actually caught, it will be by controlled delivery, and at that point all the tumbling in the world won't save them.

All scripts right?

What?

It would be a command line tool, and I would probably use pycoin for all bitcoin functions. It would need to rely on third party APIs to do blockchain lookups and pushtx, but routed over tor should be fine.

As I said, this would be specifically for use on TailsOS as that's what I'm assuming most are using here. I have my own that I use with bitcoind, but that isn't an option for most Tails users.

You can do most things with electrum from command line. If you are bored let's think about how to design a community-run marketplace that is based on multisig.

Gotta keep the project transparent as possible though. Not saying you would but I think it could be rather easy to write a script that bounces to user controlled wallets and then last minute sent to the dev to steal. At the moment the level of difficulty helps keep out those with little understanding that have no place in the dnms anyways. Even now some real tards are out in the DNM community. So clearly I have mixed feelings. I do move manually instead of using a traditional mixer, and would be your assumed target client base. I prefer the control I have in my methods, even if it takes longer.

I'm surprised their hasn't been a tumbler program or app created by anybody yet.

I was thinking:- probably the cheapest way to obscure your bitcoin would be to create a localbitcoins account, deposit, then withdraw it in two transactions. Each withdrawal will come from a different wallet in LBC's tumbler.

Not personally interested, but I think it would be great to make one
