TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

[xLays]

Good going mate. I think I should make habit of using your service. For now I have bookmarked the website and will slowly keep using your services only. I was wondering why there are no google ads? I think you want to keep your website clean or have you not thought about it.
The donation is really nice thing from people, but I hope you can also go ahead of it and apply for Google Adsense. You will be able to get good revenue for yourself and for the future development of website.
Hope so we will see your website search engine optimized soon! Next time I put upload image it should be TalkImg coming up in the search results. 
To the moon mate!

This is a project for the BitcoinTalk community. I trusted that the community will help me keep the project on the air, as it has done so far. I'm not going to use systems like Google Adsense, because that would just create "noise" on the site, and I don't want to. Not to mention the possible collection of information, which I don't want either.
But, I am available to have publicity coming from the forum, similar to what happens with subscription campaigns. By the way, this is already happening, this time with the sponsorship of Duelbits, which will soon have a new banner on the site.

Disregard community opinions; what matters most is you generating income. Just Kidding! Kudos to Duelbits for sponsoring your website. No third party service in that campaign right?
Anyway, Regardless of whether it is a project for the Bitcointalk Community knowing that it involves cryptocurrency audience will Google AdSense allow you to use their service and monetize your website?

If not, I would recommend Coinzilla instead of Google AdSense, since TalkImg.com's audience is more about cryptocurrency.

Thanks for the sugestion.

As I mentioned, I'm not trying to compete with other image hosting services. I want to present something different, and in this case with the aim of serving the users of this forum. In addition, I want to avoid having advertising systems that eventually collect information from visitors, as is the case with AdSense and similar ones. The minimum that I will accept as viable are reference links.

Between community donations and potential sponsorships, I believe I can keep the project running and still get a return for my work.

Fortunately, I have been receiving that support. Which I really appreciate!

I recently joined sinbad mixer campaign to be able to continue monthly donations to

talk-img.

I have been giving 0.001 btc a month to talk image and will now be able to do that until 2024 if not longer.

I post plenty of photos on bitcointalk . we as a forum post many photos so talk image needs support.

Not complaining.

Just for the record, just yesterday I sent a donation of that amount. It is the only one I have made to this site but I have also supported the other projects related to bitcointalk.

I see that the project has raised just over 0.04 so far.

I would recommend a section of sponsors, donations or something like that,  because maybe it will stimulate competition to see who donates the most, as happened to me with another project, and although some people don't care, others like to see themselves on the site if they have made a donation (see for example the donations section of loyce.club, where some donors are listed with their nickname but others were anonymous).

Thanks OP, this service has been really helpful, I would donate in the future if I get extra funds to spare.

[philipma1957]

Yeah I looked at my imgur account and I posted over 1000 photos here.

I will end up 🆙 with hundreds or more using talk img.

It is good that more people stepped up. Hoping this projects lasts over the next decade or more.

Personally, I don't see a problem with that. If donors want, I can create a dedicated page to gather this information.

Do you want me to create it?

Is there an auto log out to due X number of minutes/hours of inactivity?

Well, it's not that I want to or not but I recommend it. I think it's better for donors to decide whether they want to appear or not and I also think it can stimulate donations in some way. If you decide to do so, you have several options, for example, on loyce.club donors are listed (some anonymously) but not the amounts while on bpip.org the amounts are.

Some people prefer to be reflected even if it's a bit silly because we are just nicknames.

What I also believe is that whether you do or not, it will be more normal to have received more donations at the beginning than over time.

Personally I'd like to see it, and also think it could encourage some donors to donate. Not necessarily to get listed there, but simply by seeing that other prominent members have donated.

At a minimum, I'm curious, and I imagine others are too. Obviously only for those donors who wish to be listed, this goes without saying. Others could be listed as Anonymous.

By chance, the site does not have any system of this kind. However, you can configure your browser to automatically delete the generated standard cookie, which is only stored on your machine and is only identified by your browser. If this cookie is deleted from your machine, when you return to the site, you will have to log in again.

I remind you that TalkIng does not use tracking cookies. Only the cookie generated by the browser, based on the phpsessionid function. When it is deleted from the user's computer, a new login is required. EDIT: This cookie only has the function of maintaining login to the website, via the user's browser.

I will look into this possibility.

I use Tor browser and have found I don't "need" to logout as the browser doesn't retain any such information, but asked because I've sometimes had the browser open for multiple days have used the talkimg site early, closed the page, then much later on opened a new window to the talkimg site and found I am still logged in.

Ordinarily I don't have Tor open for multiple days and always close the browser completely after having logged out of the Forum.

Exactly. The session was open in your browser, which in turn automatically logs you in to the website when you open a new browser window. It's all done locally, not on the server.

For the server, each time you enter the website in the same browser session, you log in (if you have not logged out manually). When you restart a new browser session, as you no longer have login data on your computer, you need to log in again. In other words, it is your browser that controls your session on the website.

@joker_josue: It looks like you've fixed restricting talkimg.com to only Bitcointalk. However, that leads to the (undesired) side effect of images no longer working on text-only archive sites (I'm thinking of ninjastic.space and loyce.club).
Is this the intended behaviour? If not: can you fix it by whitelisting both sites?

I've already added ninjastic.space and loyce.club to the whitelist. Now the effect may not be immediate and may take a few hours or days.

Sometimes the "Hotlink Protection" function on the server has a delayed effect. So now it's time to wait.

New Tool
I am pleased to announce a new tool: Image Zip Tool

This tool aims to compress images larger than 2.5MB, so that they can be used on the forum.
Still in the beta phase, I hope for your feedback, to improve it and become a useful tool for everyone.

To access the tool, simply follow the link: https://zip.talkimg.com/

Please note that as it is still in beta, errors may arise and not all images can be converted.

I appreciate your feedback and your testing. Thanks.

I've waited a few days, but it's still not working. Can you check it?

I appreciate your feedback and your testing.

I tested it, but miss the option to delete the image.

[LoyceV]

The image "https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/26/PCjo3.jpeg" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Tor browser always shows that error on talkimg, unfortunately. But if you embed the URL, it works:

I already have everything configured, but even if I didn't, it should be working, since the image link is via the forum proxy. 
Does it only happen in this post or in others too?

I tested it, but miss the option to delete the image.

I hadn't thought about that (as the objective is not to delete it  ). Thanks for the suggestion, it will go to the list to add in the next updates. 

5. When i access that link, Tor browser show following error message

The image "https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/26/PCjo3.jpeg" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Unfortunately, as @LoyceV commented, the experience outside the forum, in the Tor browser, is not the best.

I've already tried to make some adjustments, but unfortunately due to server issues, at the moment I can't improve this situation. I haven't given up yet, I'm trying to improve the situation so that it can be resolved in the future. But without prediction.

Uploading the first image was no problem and when I did the next upload an error like this.


Is this because I did not reload the page?
because after uploading the first photo I left the page for a few minutes.
Then I selected NEW UPLOAD and a message appeared that there was no file, even though I selected the file correctly and the error occurred several times.

After I reload the page I can upload again.
