however it kept saying ''This voucher is invalid or already redeemed.''
If there is any error, ChipMixer never responds with "invalid or redeemed".
When I enter something random as voucher, I get the exact same message: "This voucher is invalid or already redeemed."
We have run out of chips again. New chips are being prepared. We need to find a better solution.
Our current ideas are:
a - kind-of traffic light that will show when chip level is too low - green ok, yellow under 50 BTC, red under 10 BTC
b - massive chip pool increase - that would require to open up for investing and that would require to set flat fee instead of donations
What do you think about both ideas?
Option a should be easy an fast to implement, so I'd say: do it now.
Option b might work for future growth, but it requires all chips to be stored in a hot wallet. ChipMixer already has quite a considerable amount of Bitcoins on a hot wallet, which means it can lose quite a considerable amount if it ever gets hacked.
If you're willing to risk many coins on a hot wallet anyway, may I suggestion option c:
c - automate chip creation, convert deposits into new chips instantly, and add them to the tail of the chip pool: first in first out.
