Topic: TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk - page 21. (Read 20849 times)

You don't have unlimited resources so I would be very careful in spreading TalkImg service to other forums, especially if there are no donations coming from other forums.
I don't think there are no imgur limitations in other forums, like there are in bitcointalk, so members can use imgur and other alternative instead.
On the other hand, there is a chance that spreading the word about TalkImg could bring you more income, and that means more resources.

That's not possible: I can't know when someone edits old posts and replaces a broken image link with TalkImg.

I think we've talked about this before. But, whatever service I'm using, I have a higher limit. Either way, for now the service is viable for our needs, and therefore, I don't need to change it. In the future, I have the possibility to improve this aspect.




The issue is not having a subdomain, the issue is that I will have two administration areas. In turn, I had to manually create locks on each domain, so this management really required itself. Because, hotlinking is not always efficient. Basically, it would be like creating two websites, even if the same hosting is used.




Going back a little.
I believe you automatically save the backup zip files. But, would you have the ability to check between the image links posted, and the images that are in the backup?




I have no problem putting a topic there. I just don't want to give support there - I don't have time to deal with two support topics (it doesn't even make sense).
I'll think about it.

Note for users: the service continues to have hotlinks configured to only work on bitcointalk. Use in other locations may not be guaranteed over time.

He can ask someone who is already active there to open an unofficial topic referencing this thread. 
I don't know what to expect from it, but it requires very little effort.

I meant in the future, when your image host goes viral.

The Linux default is about 58 million inodes per TB. How many did you have?

A sub-domain may work: whateversite.talkimg.com. If you can enforce it so each image only loads on a certain site, they'll have to respect it.

That was my concern indeed.

You can basically copy paste this ann there. I think it is worth the effort.

You will also have to teleport so you can post images 

I don't have issues with bandwidth, but I do have issues with Inode Limit. Which for now is under control.

To create another domain would be almost a new project, and it would complicate management. I can try to look at some alternatives, but it would always depend on whether users respected them or not.

I also don't want to scale without control and the priority is always bitcointalk. But, your tips gave me some ideas, which I'm going to look into.



I wasn't planning on doing that already. But maybe it's a good age to see what kind of support they'd be willing to give.

I'll try to make time to do that.

I used the same image link several times on both forums. Sounds like a good solution to me.


This thing will expand more and more over time, and it will go beyond the hobby. Also, if you are already registered there, and obviously, the use of talkimg on that forum will not be denied, why don't you at least open an ANN page with donation addresses?
If the service is already being used, why don't the others have the opportunity to become familiar with it and maybe also support?

Thanks. I shared your post there.


If you don't manually block other domains, people will use it
A lot of people are already using in altcoinstalks.com

However, if you block altcoinatalks, as many users use both forums, some peopl e will probably move to imgdb or any other service that will fit in both.

Eventually, you'll run out of bandwidth. If you limit yourself to Bitcointalk, you can be pretty sure you'll never have to create a server farm. If you go full scale image hosting, things can get very big very quickly. Going viral once would be enough to give you weeks of work

It would be nice if you can separate images per domain. I'm currently storing 30 GB of image backups. I like keeping a backup for Bitcointalk, but if other domains upload a lot of images, it's a waste of my disk space.

Thank you for bringing the matter to attention. Interestingly, or not, I also received a PM asking if they could use it on another forum (without specifying the forum).

In reality, it doesn't bother me that it is used in other forums, as long as they accept the rules that are imposed, based on Bitcointalk. It is true that the server is currently configured to be able to reject hotlinks from sites other than Bitcointalk. But, this never guarantees that it works 100%. It may work today and not tomorrow. But, according to the experience of several users, it has been used without problems in other places other than here on the forum.

If the Bitcointalk community doesn't oppose the idea, I won't oppose it either. And I will be able to reconfigure the server, to give greater freedom and guarantees in operating in other locations. What is your opinion?

You just have to keep in mind that regular backups are made, and there are users who make a copy of all images. The rules are those in this topic. And support will always be provided only here, and with priority for Bitcointalk. Furthermore, if you want to use it, donations are welcome to support the project so that it can continue.

One thing you can rest assured, I will not delete images that do not violate the rules, no matter where they are displayed.



@bitmover I have an account there, but for now I prefer not to go there and talk about the topic. You can share this post, as the subject will be discussed.

hello joker_josue.

In altcoinstalks forum, a global moderator is asking if you allow users to post images to be used there in your service (he even has the same first name as yours, joker)



What do you think?

I can quote your answer there, or feel free to answer by yourself.  

I have been using lol

 TalkImg  Feature Info____________________
I'm sorry to inform you, but I had to suspend this feature temporarily, as despite the tests carried out, the functionality is not working as intended. In this sense, the upload feature via link is currently inactive, until all issues involving its operation can be resolved.

I apologize for the situation. 

i still can't find the new feature on the TalkImg.com site...
is it not yet implemented or what could be the reason?

Thank you for implementing this feature and kudos for doing it rather quickly as well.  It's pretty cool when you can talk with developers directly here to make suggestions that actually turn into features on their products.  That vibe is what originally made me fall in love with this forum.  I'm glad that you're here and trying to improve things.  I hope that your experience continues to be a positive one here with this project and that you continue to be active in this community.  Maybe even inspiring others along the way.

Its working again now, without me doing anything. Too bad I forgot to check "report error" but I'll make sure to do it next time (if it happens again).


It was happening with all images that I tried to upload

When you try to upload and the error occurs again, click on "report error" to check the message that appears. Then post it here so I can analyze the case.

Does this only happen with a specific image, or with all your other images?

I uploaded 4-5 images like half an hour earlier and everything was working normally and then suddenly it just stopped working. And yeah, like ~10 minutes ago forum was loading slowly for me too  but it passed in a minute or two while I still can't upload images via talkimg.

Anyway, thnx.
