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?
I honestly think B is how it should have been since the beginning. I still do not see how you are even breaking even by providing your mixing services on a pay-what-you-want basis. Given, I do not know how much you are actually obtaining from it, but opening the doors would investing would definitely allow you to have a higher capital with which you could increase your chip pool which in turn would increase the privacy and attractiveness of using ChipMixer. Option A, on the other hand, would not actually fix the problem, but would just indicate
when the problem is happening, which would result in
less use of the mixer. All of this I say without actually knowing what kind of earnings you guys are actually making, but it is simply my opinion as an outsider.
