Title: Storing pictures & video in this forum to show others. Post by: dishwara on September 09, 2012, 07:11:34 AM I don't know which category it comes to post this thread.
Mods if you find it in wrong thread please move it to proper thread. I use to upload tinypic.com to post my pics for any clarification, doubt, proof, errors......................... Also have seen other members using some other services to post pictures mostly & video some times. Why Bitcoin forum users don't have a storage place here(in this forum) or some other place which is owned/rented by Bitcoin members, to put their pictures & video to use in forums? Many times, free picture & video storing sites, don't work or delete pictures. Most people know the megaupload case & also imageshack not showing pictures in many part of this world. A storing place owned/rented by Bitcoin, will help greatly for forum members to store their pictures & videos & don't have to worry whether it will display or not to other members. Also, it will reduce the bandwidth it takes to use this Bitcoin forum, as pictures & videos don't have be downloaded from other site to view here. I am not sure about this bandwidth thing. Please share your thoughts if its wrong. If Bitcoin can generate money, then it also can generate space for members to store. Title: Re: Storing pictures & video in this forum to show others.

A pic and video hosting service for btc would be better on another domain. Title: Re: Storing pictures & video in this forum to show others.

It will also require a lot of storage, if everyone on bitcointalk.org uses it. Title: Re: Storing pictures & video in this forum to show others.

I don't want to depend on some other network or service to use Bitcoin related things, especially when using this forum. Title: Re: Storing pictures & video in this forum to show others.

Basically if you can get a descent amount of space, like terabytes, there are ways to reduce bandwidth and stuff like that. I think the problem would be finding a VPS that takes bitcoins and has a huge amount of space, I have yet to see one that is viable. |
