Why are there two unsolved puzzles now? Is this a glitch? Or a new feature? And why does the second one have a really long expiry date? 1373 / 24 hours is 57 days!
And one more: 
This newest picture is really hard. The picture is almost crystal clear, and no one has made a single guess. I have noooo idea what that could be.
Smile. I haven't checked the site out yet but I am going to check it out later on tonight. This thread has got me seriously curious because it looks like so much fun. Extremely novel idea...great work!
And one more:
Here's the latest one.
Surprised nobody has solved this pic... 26 hrs left and a pot of 0.01... Such a good time to bet 
. I'll take this one if one-one guesses it in 16 hours.

Yeah of course. Just go on the website, click on the solved picture's thumbnail and then click again on the full size picture. It'll show you the clear version.
I feel dumb now. If I would have just read it, it clearly says to click it again to see the clear picture. Thanks.

Just click on the picture and you have the original one.
It looks like a head. Since it can be a person, it is most likely some Superhero from Comics or video games.
Yeap, almost found that. :-)
Here's the new picture btw:
Have fun!

Good job on the last one btw. I didn't expect someone to hit the bath salts solution before the letters were visible... "Slipper" was also a possible answer btw. :-)

Here's the newest picture:
Looks like a tube of glue to me. Nearly 60 hours left, and with a pot of 8.5mBTC it's definitely a good time to bet.

You should automate the process of adding new puzzles, instead of manually adding them everytime.
Why not code up a queue (and put a set of puzzles in it) so that once someone has solved the picture, or the picture has expired, it automatically publishes the next puzzle for you?

Yeap I want to do that too actually.
Here's something different:
No hint this time! Could be item/person/title or even anything else.

Wow, you were right! It was some anime character. I never heard of it before. My "bull terrier" guess was WAY off. I guess that's apophenia for you.

Don't overthink the new hint. I hadn't done a "no hint" picture for some time, so I thought I'd help new players by mentioning a couple more of other categories to help them understand that it could really be anything. :-)
Haha, so the hint is just saying that there's no real hint, only that the picture could be of anything?
Hehe that helps narrow to down

Wow, no clue on this one. Maybe a screw or something? I could convince myself I see threads...
Btw, where are you pulling these images from? Your own personal collection or from around the web?
Either my own photos or screenshots from movies TV series etc. Generally it's not stuff that you can google image search. :-)
Would it be unfair if I put a hint on this one now? Given that some people have already answered I mean. I would say that it wouldn't, since all people would be helped by it but at the same time, people who saw the "No hint!!!" are less likely to look at the hint box again so they might miss it. But I'd really like to help a bit more... :-( Maybe I can put it an add an alert to notify all players of the new hint.
[EDIT] OK I did that. So everyone will be aware of the hint now.
Thanks for the new hint, but I don't get it? It seems like it still could be anything?
[EDIT] I'm really confused about your new hint. It seems that you changed it from "Hint: No hint!" to "Hint: No hint! item/title/name/etc"
Yeah, I was wondering about the new hint too. Are you saying it could be an item, title, or name? Why does the first part of the hint still say "No hint!"? Maybe it's just a really subtle hint that I'm too obtuse to pick up on
