Sat Seer 👁️ Look into the blur. Name it first, win sats.

it would be great just to have a LN address where every user could pay for their bets?

If I am not mistaken LN is already supported.

No, it's not provable fair.

For me personally the appeal is lost just here.
You have to find a way to make it provably fair. You can have fun with some friends and all but it is not scalable without provable fairness/third party audit.
BTW, can you make it like just for private groups? Lets say I want to play with my friends ONLY.

I find intriguing the idea by itself, game on chain leave something retro but why use bitcoin for this kind of guess?
Actually transaction on chain are cheap it would be great just to have a LN address where every user could pay for their bets?
As you may know, in the past similar services with onchain betting have being exploited if there are specific timeframe or betting options.
Focus boost would be for all users... and why not have a pool for it? Or only selected users could get this boost?

I can't quite make sense of everything you are saying. The game is built entirely on LN, but not addresses, it uses invoices. That way I can require certain amounts.

And focus boost is a clearer view for the payer only. Not everyone will see the clearer image. And pool? I don't know what you mean. 60% of each focus boost payment goes back into the pot if that is what you mean. Anyone can use the focus boosts, they just have to pay for them.

That's completely fine. I know it won't be for everyone. I just hope some find it fun. I don't plan to implement anyway to do private groups.

For the fact that you spend to participate in it makes it similar to gambling and i don't think this would be easy to guess considering how blurry the images are. But I have to say that this is a very interesting and creative concept. Those that participate in it also need to be very careful. since it is not a skilled based game I'm curious to know if this game supports provable fairness, cause from how it appears it doesn't seem to.

Yes, the images are blurry. That is the whole point! They get clearer as time passes. You can either take a chance and guess early when it is blurry, or wait until it clears to 100% clear!

But I have to say that this is a very interesting and creative concept.

Thank you, I appreciate it But the base concept is from an old game that was posted here a long time ago.

This was already answers just a few posts before. It is not provable fair. There must be a single trusted party (me) who picks the pictures and sets the keyword answers to the images. I don't see any way around that part. I know that everyone won't be interested in playing because of that, but this is meant to be a light/fun game, not a casino.

I feel like almost everyone posting here is just part of an ad campaign and you guys are just posting things in order to get your ad out there, lol!

The image is so blurry that it could easily be classified like as gambling, in my opinion.
Though, there is something which crosses my mind when i see this business model for this gambling service:
What would happen if someone created a group on Telegram so people who played this game started to share their guesses to others, eventually leading to the image getting revealed faster than expected.

in theory, it should not affect the economy of the casino or this website, but it could led to this website requiring the host to automatically refresh the guessing markets, so people can continue to gamble on those images.

As of right now, this is not at all profitable to me. I'm just giving sats away! I've added some "focus boosts" where players can pay to temporarily see the image a little clearer (for their view only). I'm hoping with more competition (more players) more people will guess early and use focus boosts. I also just added the ability for anyone to sponsor a round (pay the starting pot) and get to show a simple ad along with the round.

Do you have sample effect of the focus boost and other tools before user purchase it as way to help them guess the picture? Imho, it very hard to guess the name with the based image considering that it has 1000sats fee for the guess.

I agree to the suggestion of the demo feature which user can try the tools on the image and see if it’s worthy to gamble on those tools to help guessing the name.

This game will be very serious and interesting at the same time, but there is need for demo for anyone trying to understand it to have a clue of how the game works. Then sample of the effects will also help to know how to use it in a real life application on the game and be sure the results are accurate before purchasing it. People would want to give it a trial when they are convinced on how it works and if it is profitable to them. It's really going to be fun here.

This is a prediction market pattern and it is hard to predict since we are not familiar with them with their structures. In the blurred image. This is new to the industry. It is better to predict well seeing and physical games to be predicted than predicting on images that are abstract to the human existence. I will not try this because it is clear that will not win such game.
