A lot of your suggestions are good, and getting me thinking. I misunderstood you at first, thinking the answer would need to be complex. I've been trying not to use images found online though, which would mean I'd need to make/create these images.
I agree about the rodents one, but disagree about the arcade one. You can play an arcade game on your phone, but the physical device here I would say is an "arcade cabinet" or "arcade machine." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_cabinet
I'm the creator. Thanks for the feedback! I want this to be anything but "scammy"!
It's hard because I have to be somewhat subjective in how I set up the correct answers, but I do feel bad when I see some of these guesses come in!
I made this game based off of an old game that I used to play called ApopheniaBTC. It worked similar to how I have it set up. Sometimes if you knew you were close a strategy was to guess multiple times around your idea.
I put this in the About page: "Some images may accept more than one correct answer, but not every reasonable description will count. Waiting for the image to clear can help, but you risk losing the pot to someone else. Sometimes making multiple guesses (around a certain idea) could win you the pot!"
They should use a few of the sats and do an api call to ppq.ai or routstr and ask if the guess is equivalent enough to the correct answer, and if so, pay out, if no, mark it as wrong.
I love this. I'd like to see this structure applied to more things.
I also wonder if it can be applied to things where the system doesn't know the answer; an answer that's hard to generate but easy to verify. That probably only makes sense if participants can't fully verify it themselves though.
I just realized that you created SN! I'm new here!
I was wondering if there is an API or something to post? I was trying to wire into my game a post creation at each new round, not only to notify others of the new round but also a place to discuss that specific round. Is this possible?
I'm the creator. Just got directed to SN. Just zapped you 5000. I agree "rodent" should have been included in correct answers! When I saw you guess that, I was hoping you would guess again because you were close!

I'm the creator. Yes, that was very close. I felt bad seeing that guess come in.

Hey Everyone! I'm the creator of satseer.com. @Scroogey just directed me here to SN. I'm glad to get your feedback, and thanks to those who have tried playing!
These results look scammy because one or more 'wrong guesses' were correct answers.
lol
I tried to implement some of your suggestions and have 3 rounds queued now. Hopefully they are a little harder!

I've got a new round up, and a couple others queued. Hopefully they are a little harder!
I'm the creator. Thanks for directing me here to SN! I was wanting a place to directly interact with some of the players and get feedback!

Yes, lol. BTW, I refunded their guess.

I'm the creator. Never heard of this. Will look into it!
I hope you guys don't mind the ping! Just wanted to let you know that I just queued up 5 new 12-hour rounds at https://satseer.com
I started a new post, with some new info.
I've also added a new game mechanic - "Intense Focus"
I hope you guys think it is fun!

No luck for me!

Hey, I guessed 'rodent' and 'sitting mice' and the answer was just 'mice'. I think that should count.

Cool!

A blur slider on the past photos to show what they looked like as they came into focus would be a fun feature.
Yes, I like this idea. I had plans to at least show blurry and then click to show clear.
It would also be interesting to see at what blur level the right answer was guessed!
looking at past rounds, the remote control image had a correct answer of remote controller, but claims it expired without a winner...?
I'm the creator. Yes, that was very close. I felt bad seeing that guess come in.

It has the feel of a kind of dutch auction. You could almost tell a story this way: readers make predictions about what happens next.
Get me a beer
