TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

[Bitcoin_Arena]

How are you trying to access the site?

I tried visiting and image link and also visiting the default domain. It would load endlessly until a timeout error would appear. But I realized the problem might be from my ISP after all. For some reason, it's probably blocking the site, something it wasn't doing yesterday or a few days back. When I used the VPN, it now loads without any issues. Thanks.

The site is working just fine and I used it couple of hours ago. Guess what; I am now using talk image to publish the images on micro tasking site where I am working as part time maker. They require us to post the images on their site as proof of task.

Previously most of the users used imguru only but as we know it failed badly most of us turned towards other site. So just thought why not publish our fellow members Website. :-)

You would be happy to know that most of the users are slowly switching to your site as I am chatting with them about it. Thanks a lot.

While I understand that you liked so much of the product that you want to spread awareness about it you should already have read on the OP the following entry:

 Account ____________________
This service is intended for exclusive use on BitcoinTalk, in this sense only forum users can have an account on TalkImg, for this reason the account creation option is not active for the general public. Users who want to have an account should contact joker_josue by PM to request it. The request will be evaluated and if approved the account will be created.

Load from external sources is an expense on joker_josue end that isn't feasible at all (considering the effort that it takes running the service for the forum alone).

I tried to search the Register button on the site but could only find the Sign In Option. Does this mean that the registration on the site is already private and only available for the bitcointalk members.

If that is the case, then it is good that the site is exclusively built for bitcointalk members but anyone can upload the images on talkimg as sign in is not required to upload any image. Do we need restrictions on that part too?

Thanks joker_josue, TalkImg very easy to use and fast. I was using it

Are all the services at TalkImg is free?

[joker_josue]

Yes, the site was designed to be used on BitcoinTalk only. Although anyone can upload images, it turns out not to be very useful, since the images should only be visible in the forum. If someone tries to put the images somewhere other than BitcoinTalk, they won't be able to see them. Or if eventually "today" you see them, it doesn't mean that "tomorrow" will continue. Because the service is set up so that the images only work on Bitcointalk, and if it occasionally works elsewhere, it may only be temporary - I don't guarantee that they will work in the future.

Services are free, but donations are welcome to help defray maintenance costs.

Yes, I know that websites for images need cost a lot. Especially hosting costs. Hopefully you get support from other members. I can't help yet, maybe in the future...

I really like TalkImg, Very simple and easy to use. Moreover, there are no pop up ads like most image web hosts

There's no option to register directly trough the website. You need to send a message over to joker_josue if you're interested in signing up for it[1].

Per joker_josue reply before, images that are posted outside the forum will eventually stop working because the service wasn't made to be used outside bitcointalk (thus avoiding unecessary burdon on the bandwidth and disk space). By registering you will be getting a private API which you can use, for example, to automatically upload images using programs such as ShareX (more information for that specific program here[2]).

I apologize for this. I see people having problems with imgur as it can make the image corrupted.
I've never used imgur and I've used freeimagehost. I'm a little curious because when I compared the both, I saw that talkimg is very similar to freeimage.host.






Did most people here not know about freeimage.host before ? Maybe there are one or two things that are different but I see both websites as if they were built by people who have the same concept. 
Although I see talkimg is more trying to be a place to share images to Bitcointalk. Like having a feature to adjust the image size according to the forum.

And if you dig deeper, you'd find many other sites that function similarly, as they probably use the same software.  

But what changes is the concept. In the case of TalkImg, what changes is that it was designed and configured with BitcoinTalk in mind.

I could even make graphic adjustments, for the site to stop being similar to others. But do you think it's worth changing a model that is efficient and practical? That would be reinventing the wheel.

But that doesn't mean I won't make graphic changes if I find a model that remains simple, practical and effective. This is not a priority right now.

Thank you for your attention! Sorry before I didn't say that I really appreciate your hard work. I'm really sorry, bro.  

Of course I know that. There's nothing wrong with similarities between one website and another, either in terms of functionality or graphics. Because it is not plagiarism and does not violate copyright. heheh,

As I said, Talkimg focuses on its configuration and features for Bitcointalk. Thank you for your hard work for the forum and pardon my previous words.
It's been a pleasure talking with you. I see you are a good person who is not easily offended. Sometimes it's hard to talk to someone who is easily offended but you can completely understand what I mean without feeling offended.

@joker_josue You need to set TalkImg.com as your avatar and signature! Seems crazy to not use those spaces and your reputation to promote TalkImg all around the forum.

I doubt it is needed as of now as TalkImg has grown organically through discussion and a lack of support from Imgur. At the moment TalkImg does not have any monetary support and if the owner wants to get some revenue through a signature campaign then I do not think that should be an issue. I do feel after a certain period of time TalkImg should introduce an advertisement revenue model. When it is done then that would be the right time to utilize the signature space for promoting TalkImg.

Thank you for your support in creating an avatar and using it for the project.
It's true that I could do that, but using a subscription to a campaign right now is a way to help fund part of the project.

In addition, the project has been well publicized throughout the forum. And I thank you in advance for all your support.

I used the TalkImg.com website and in my view, it is perfect. Thank you Legendary Member joker_josue for coming up with this great service. I always got exactly the service I needed and I wish I will be able to donate to this project in the nearest future. One day the business will grow and you will benefit from it. Keep up the good work.

Many of the old members are aware of the talkimg website and service but some new members might not be aware of the service. New members join the forum every day and many of them may not know about this great product. The product still needs publicity in and outside the forum.

I guess TalkImg is already popular on this forum and there is no need for further promotion. However, the next step should be to make TalkImg for everyone (the Public) and not just for the bitcointalk users. Of course for that purpose, the sources would be required but the site can generate a lot of revenue once its starts to give other image-uploading sites competition.

If anyone spends some time on the forum, especially in the Meta section, he or she will soon come to know about this service.
Signature campaigns are more suited to those projects which generate revenue otherwise it will be more burden on the project owner. Does TalkImg generate revenue?

The whole forum, thank you for creating this amazing project.
The best thing is we upload the code and get the BBCode. This is something now available in other image hosting websites.
I am using TalkImg.com very often now and with time it's use will go up..

It's still not generating revenue.
Maybe when I get some kind of publicity, I'll start getting some money to support the project. And if it continues, then income arises.

But, I'm a patient type and that's why I hope one day to reach that level.

[CYBER_COWBOY]

I haven't seen this thread until now, but I been using TalkImg.com a lot.
So I need to thank you joker_josue a lot for this project/website you have doing for the forum and all members to use. Well done & Thank you!

[tainted_love]

Thanks for the service.

I like the service's simple privacy policy, but wen tor link?
