Explanation of Universe Splitting
I haven't written this yet.
Check out these explanations that our competitors have written:
How this website works
This website uses quantum random number generator (qrng) sources to split the universe.
We currently use qrandom.io as the source of the numbers, which is a (q)random website which we found (thanks to unaffiliated competitor android app UniverseSplitterUnofficial's github repo's readme)
This website formerly used
the ETH Zürich QRNG API
to split the universe, which in turn uses a
Quantis
device,
which is the same thing used by the OG universe splitter mobile app.
But it seems to have gone down
We also formerly used the ANU QRNG API, but the free version that we were using was deprecated / rate limited to 1 request per minute, and we have yet to implement caching large sets of numbers on our server (maybe we should).
If the splitter is not working, email me to report the outage and I will try to fix it!
