TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

[Shenanigan]

I present a new image hosting service, specially designed for BitcoinTalk

From a privacy point of view, this is unsafe. I recommend abstaining from this forum-related image hostings. Use independent 3rd party image hosting not associated with the forum

Your image hosting only enhances the centralization of the forum. If the feds come again, your IP's from that image hosting perhaps will be accidentally leaked

The service was designed especially with the needs of the forum in mind, but it has nothing to do with the forum. It is a completely independent and autonomous service. Furthermore, this type of danger that you speak of occurs in any type of image hosting service. Making this type of observation shows how unaware you are of how image hosting services work.

But, no one is forced to use this service, whoever wants to use it.

I think that if the feds need to trace someone from this forum, there's nothing stopping them from following a link to a picture posted on the forum to any independent third party image hosting service, not just TalkImg.com. In fact, they won't need to do that, because they can easily make a request to the forum administrator.

Or you can use VPS, to upload images. Or you might notice this shenanigan  dude is very much likely one of bsv's alts running around scaring people with privacy concerns.

Your service was created specifically to serve the forum. How it can be completely independent and autonomous service?

If the hosting servers are outside the jurisdiction of the feds, then the feds will not be able to do anything

Because I have nothing to do with forum administration. And if you want, I can change the site description, and be the same as any image hosting service: ImgBB, Postimage, ImageShack, etc.

In other words, I do what I want with my hosting service, regardless of what the forum does. If the forum closes, I can go on my way without any problems.

If the hosting servers are outside the jurisdiction of the feds, then the feds will not be able to do anything

I don't know what you mean by not being under the jurisdiction of the feds. But, if you ask if the servers are in the USA? No, they are not.
Although that doesn't mean anything, because my service is exactly the same as other image hosting services. There are zero differences.

[Shenanigan]

But, if you ask if the servers are in the USA? No, they are not.

It's very good.
Next question - are you collecting logs? How many years logs are stored at servers?

And if you worry about privacy so much, use VPN.

I'd like to congratulate you for this project of yours. They other day I wanted to attacht some pictures to post and I recalled this service, I have never used it on my phone so I decided to try it in the go.
It was a surprisingly seamless experience and the upload of the content was rather fast.  
Got this web saved as favorite and I will certainly turn it into my main tool when comes to attaching images.

I would like me to add a suggestion, though.
Not many newbies here in the forum are aware they can mess with the size of their pictures using the command width=, for example. It would be great if you added an option for people to pre-set the display size of the image before copy-pasting it here on the forum. It would save some people from posting giant images for no reason.

This functionality is now available. Just go to the embed codes droplist and choose the "BBCode full fix HxW" option.

Did it really have a significant impact? I was under the impression that not too many users cared a great deal about it, and that not much changed after my thread. But if you say otherwise, I am glad that it had an impact. But it's TryNinja that deserves the thanks for creating a simple copy-paste solution that anyone can work with.

To give you an idea, just the day after you created the topic, +2000 images entered. Where the daily average is 500 or less.
It may have been a coincidence, but something was noticed between the 14th and 15th of November.

Hello joker_josue!

After presenting TalkImg in our German local board and having my topic linked in your OP as well, I have suggested to cygan recently, that we can switch it because he's already maintaining the translation in our Polish local board. So, cygan is following your updates anyways and it's easier in terms of updates if cygan does our German version as well.
Today, cygan has finished his latest translation.

So, if you have some time, you can change the German translation topic link in your OP to cygan's translation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5477701.0
I'll lock my current topic and post a redirecion link to cygan's translation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5450665.0

Updated OP, thanks for your work Cygan. 




I would like to take this opportunity to ask the following:
I'm thinking about putting some TalkImg merchandising items on sale. Would you be interested in this idea?

Any feedback on this idea? It could be a different idea to support the project.

And yes, I have some ideas to preserve, keeping everyone's privacy as possible.

I prefer supporting the project through donations.
Talkimg merchandising is too niche OpSec risk.
I could never wear a Talkimg Shirt, let's say. It's more indicative than a fancy Bitcoin shirt, almost anyone could wear that. Wearing a Talkimg shirt would be an indication of sure hit for someone looking for a bitcoiner.

I agree, but what about, let’s say, a mug that you keep at home and no one else will see? I would love to make one or those for one of my projects if it ever became big enough (for me to completely live from it, for exemple).

Even if someone is a social phobe, someone of neighbors or couriers can see through the open door, through the window, etc. Yeap, I'm a bit paranoid. But on the other hand you can always say that you bought it on a flea market and don't know what does it mean.

[AirtelBuzz]

I don't know if this is a problem but I ran into this situation today when extracting the picture link from the first TalkImg.
I think it might be due to server problem or network problem.
