MEGARAND Extreme Overkill Random Seed Generator
https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/megarand
MEGARAND employs extreme overkill in the genration of a very large entropy pool. The output is extremely random as a result of several hashing, timestamping, shuffling, encrypting, and truncation techniques. MEGARAND is useful for generating large seed bases for key and passphrase material or for feeding to cryptographically secure PRNG software if high-speed outputs are required.

This sounds kind of bogus and there has already been some work on this topic. See for example the entropy distillation phase of Fortuna:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortuna_(PRNG)
The only bogus thing here is your baseless insinuation and false comparison.
You are insinuating that MEGARAND is built upon Fortuna or a copycat thereof. That insinuation is false. By calling my work, 'bogus' you are casting a baseless barb, or a slander against my work.
You are attempting to dissuade readers from examining the work by labeling it with a negative label. And you are also attempting to promote Fortuna instead, when Fortuna has nothing to do with my work. Anyone taking your false comment at face value would be dissuaded from reading my work.
