There's no good incentive to deposit money.

If every guess cost 0.01 BTC, and you started out with a somewhat clearer picture, that might be a different story…

The incentive to deposit money is being able to actually guess the picture and claim the prize.   Wink

It looks like that photo of a dog's butt that looks like the outline of Jesus.

Naw, depositing money gives everyone an equal chance to guess it. If you want people to deposit money, it should be a strong personal incentive. Like in bitcoinduit, depositing ฿0.1 for a chance at ฿5.

Consider changing to this setup:
Start out with a picture with ~฿0.20 already deposited
Accept guesses only for a donation of ฿0.05
This way, every guess makes the picture easier, but it is the only way to guess.

If 80% of pot is given out to winner and 20% is started by the person operating the game... Then for a pot starting off with .2 btc (donated by operator), it would require another .8 btc donated for the operator to make his/her money back.

I suppose this set up could work if the pixels added were based off of total amount in pot, that way the operator stands a greater chance to make a profit.  The ideal scenario would be that the image could only be guessed correctly after the pot reached a size where the 20% brought the operator a profit (1 btc total pot in this case)

I'm the only person who has donated toward this image so far... Perhaps we will implement a "pay-per-guess" system on the website we're developing for this to weed out the freeloaders, but I'd hoped to keep it free.

It's the same thing, isn't it? Each person who guesses pays to guess what it is, thus causing the image to increase in size. It makes more sense than just randomly sending money to an address to make it bigger.

YOU

"We are just fools. We insanely believe that we can replace one politician with another and something will really change. The ONLY possible way to achieve change is to change the very system of how government functions. Until we are prepared to do that, suck it up for your future belongs to the madness and corruption of politicians."

I'm getting lots of PMs but the donation amount never changes...  You should make a donation prior to guessing in order to enlarge the picture so you actually have a chance of guessing it correctly.

No winning guesses yet...  If nobody wants to play the game and donate a bitcent to enlarge the picture soon, I may have to stop doing these.

Instead of increasing the size, I've changed it to increasing the quality of the photo.  This should make it a little easier...
