* How long does it take before the image is changed?

* Can we view previous images?

* Can you put a timer up that says image has been up for X minutes?

* If I want to change the picture and pay you and some does the same thing at the same time, but they clicked the submit button a few seconds after I did, then I'm gonna be a little pissed as I never saw my picture up there

* Counter that says Image viewed X times?

* Is there a minimum amount of time that the image stays up? (5 or 10 minutes?)

This comment is proof that any idea, no matter how simple, can always be feature-creeped.

Not that that stuff wouldn't be useful. But it would have been really easy to say that any one of these things was a 'must have' for a first implementation, and by the looks of it, is clearly not.

At first I thought this was a stupid idea, but then I keep checking to see if anyone had changed the image. Then I was curious and wanted to know the answers to the questions I posted. Maybe in the future =)
It's only a matter of time before someone puts up a dickerdoodle.
People will pay for anything apparently. This idea is not even original. Try again here http://www.lastpicstanding.com/
NB: NSFW as of this writing.
This site is free and you don't have to pay to change the image.
Therefore it will always be as NSFW as humanly possible.
I lurk there here and there for a few months and I can assure you that you are wrong. Unless you classify puppies, jokes and lolcats as such.
Cool! I'm delighted to hear whenever the internet is not being overwhelmed by the other side of the "anonymity plus audience" equation.
