TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

[virasog]

Hello,

 just tried this service and it worked.  I am used to using imgur and it would not work.  I just want to know how to register for this service.

Cheers,
Waya

Why would you like to create an account on TalkImg when you can just upload pictures without needing any account? Or maybe you want to keep a record of all the images you uploaded there? (if that is the purpose of having an account).

@joker_josue, I would also like to know the benefits of creating an account at TalkImg ?

I think the first benefit of creating account is there will be all data of yours uploaded images you don't need to store the uploaded images link anywhere if you have the account to see the images you need to just log in .

And obviously for the API key you have to an account on website, As I needed an api to use Talkimg as an image host on ShareX, I created my account by personally PMing joker_josue.

As already mentioned, the biggest advantage is being able to better manage the images you send. In addition to access to your own API key, if useful.

You can manage the images you upload into categories, check the uploaded images and such.

I only use to upload images to be pasted on bitcointalk so in that case, having a account isn't a necessity.

But wait, you are offering a proper image/photo manager just like we have google photos to store our photos. Since that (google) is limited in space, could we use it in that context ? Also how much space an individual user gets on an talkimg account ?

No, it is not to be used in this context. The images are for use on Bitcointalk.
Any abuse in this regard may lead to the deletion of photos.



But would you be interested in a service like this? Even if there was a small cost in BTC?

Does your uploader support WebP images, by the way?

I might have known before, but since I have not attempted to upload any WebP to TalkImg, I'm not so sure anymore.

It's a very useful format, and allows me to copy and paste images directly from places like Reddit into other sites without having to save them first.

There was another site I was using that was having problem with WebP image uploading, so that's why I asked.

(Everyone should be supporting this format in 2024, anyway.)

[joker_josue]

Does your uploader support WebP images, by the way?

Via the main website, it is not yet possible. But you can use the zip tool that supports: https://zip.talkimg.com/

Take a test and then tell me if it's working.

The images you upload aren't private, and include regular backups made by others (including myself).

Just a note, it is not possible to upload WebP, because the forum does not support it.
Or am I wrong?

Wait so what you're saying is that I should delete my underwear pics I've been storing over there?

I'm not really into those
More like: you shouldn't upload your wallet seed.

Well, I already had to make this warning.

Thank you for continuing to use and support TalkImg!

I don't know if the images made it into the backup that LoyceV usually makes. But, I've already had to delete some things.

I got the opposite vibe. Sounds like they’re already saved to the spank bank so you’re too late anyway.

The forum does seem to support the format

Code:

https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_300,f_auto,q_auto/sample.webp

Code:

Nope, that's just a JPEG with the wrong extension:

Code:

identify sample.webp
sample.webp JPEG 300x200 300x200+0+0 8-bit sRGB 17.6KB 0.000u 0:00.009

No, it doesn't support it:

Thanks, I stand corrected.

From time to time I experience problems like this:



Of course the image is right on my phone.
In the past republishing fixes the problem, but not this time.
On other occasion, the preview is tilted, but the full image is correct.
What am I doing wrong?

Well, it's hard to explain a specific reason. Sometimes the image is truly inverted, although it doesn't seem like it on a smartphone.
I've seen this happen in several scenarios, sent by email, sent to the cloud.

This is linked to the phone's camera software. It's the only explanation I can come up with.

From time to time I experience problems like this:

I was just thinking: look at this FWP, there's sand on his beach towel

Well, it's hard to explain a specific reason.

Can you add a "rotate left" and "rotate right" arrow after uploading?
