TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

[joker_josue]

I'll check it out, and believe me there will be news soon!  

Wouldn't downloading images directly from an URL cause you more copyright problems? You won't be able to claim a user uploaded it.

Not exactly. Because the upload system is exactly the same, whether using a file on your computer/mobile phone or using a link.
All parameters remain, following the same system as currently.

No.  The method of upload has no bearing whatsoever on copyrights.  What is important is that the owner of any copyrighted material has a way to remove it with a DMCA request.

I actually have to improve my information on this. Thanks for remember.

As far as I know, one shouldn't respond to DMCA. I mean, if someone receives email from them, you shouldn't reply to their email or send any other email. Just take any material like it's nothing. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong but I know one has to be careful with DMCA complains.

By the way, today I was digging into satoshi's posts and noticed this thread: Idea for file hosting and proxy services. If satoshi is alive, he must be proud of you for creating a TalkImg. Your product is different but still would make him happy, I bet.

You don't need to deal with them directly. Basically, the term DMCA refers to requests to remove content due to copyright infringement.
When a DMCA notification is received (from credible identities or the author himself), in order to avoid problems the content must be removed. This is, of course, if this retaliation is true and credible.

I'm sorry I didn't read this topic years ago. I certainly would have launched this project sooner!

I'm surprised that even the voting takes a month we only received minimal support or votes in that contest. You can count the number of votes on your fingers. In comparison with pie contest, the pie contest received a lot of attention because it was supported by the forum. You can see it in the announcement column on BitcoinTalk. I'm not sure if the TalkIMG contest was also visible there. Perhaps the pie contest had better prizes but when it comes to joining it was easier to participate in the TalkIMG contest compared to the Pie Contest. Anyway, still a successful contest.

Probably because it's not shown in the News, unlike with Pie Baking Contest that got there which lead to more clicks since people are likely to get into it than this one. There's going to be more of this contest anyway, it's the first one right? So I don't think that it's a bad thing, it's good that this finally started, it will only be up to the organizers and sponsors how they would handle the next one. Well duh, it's definitely easier to join this one because there's baking and some labor involved there wherein this contest, you only just need to take a picture or even take a picture on the Internet to join and that's it but that don't mean that this contest is any lesser than that of any other contest here.

I think I have found a bug in the image uploading tool.

When you upload an animated GIF to Talkimg, it is converted into a PNG file, so the GIFs get frozen into their first frame.

This never happened with Imgur, for example.

Any chance that this gets fixed? I don't think it's that hard actually - just use a library to check if the GIF has animated frames, and only if it doesn't, then convert it to a PNG.

You're talking about the zip tool, right? - https://zip.talkimg.com/
It really doesn't make sense for him to convert GIFs to another format. Thanks for the alert, I will look into this to try to improve.


EDIT:
If you are talking at the time of upload, it would look like this:


Don't worry, the image remains as a gif:

Talkimg is down here on my side for a few hours already...
Anyone noticied it?

I just checked it out, working perfectly normal here. And it was working normally earlier today (making the local board overview) with no issues whatsoever.

It worked perfectly fine for me whenever I uploaded gif images, and I didn't notice any bug with TalkImg website.
Here is one quick example with small gif image:

Anyone noticied it?

No issues on my side, and I just uploaded image above as confirmation for that.
This is probably some issue with your browser or network settings.

Still having the same problem?
According to the service driver, the last downtime was in February and lasted 2 minutes.

Maybe it could have been a momentary lapse in internet connection and now everything is normal.

Try clearing the cache and cookies files related to TalkImg. Try using another browser to see if the situation persists.

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to help much. But something, tell me.

Tried many browser, doesnt work. Even in other devices. Tried 2 laptops and on my phone. Somehow, it only works on my 4G connection.

Do you only feel this on TalkIng or other sites too? 

Try restarting the router, sometimes the router may have an error and cause this problem. Disconnect directly from the electrical current, and wait around 60-90 seconds until it is reconnected. Do not turn off the button, rather disconnect it directly from the electrical current. After disconnecting from the power supply, you can turn off the button.

Only in talkimg. Still down... I don`t know what is happening :/

Maybe your IP address has been banned for some reason, this happened to me before on other websites.
For testing purposes you can try to access TalkImg website using Tor browser (new identities) or with vpn like mullvad.

It may happen. Although I have looked at the server logs and I don't see any recent blocks. It could be a blockage on another level, one that goes beyond my powers.
But, as you certainly have a dynamic IP, restarting the router may help. Try checking.
