I had some down time recently, as some may know from my earlier post, so I decided to create a new image hosting website that will be dedicated to STEEM Post images. It will have all the categories found on steemit (starting with the steemit category) and 100% uptime so no more spaceship blank images on your post ;) I will be running the site myself at the start but may need moderators and help as it grows, so anyone interested feel free to jump in and send me your contact info at [email protected].
I will be keeping it 100% AD free and hopefully if it grows I will continue to keep it free, even as upgrading is required, as a give back to this awesome community!
I just launched the site essentially in beta to get the kinks out & get feedback on what we want and need for our post images / gifs. I will be updating it today and upcoming days alongside posts with update information.
Happy Uploading!

EDIT 7/17 9:10 PM
Max image size has been bumped up from 2MB to 20MB!
Is the limit to low? is it too high? Let me know. Also let me know if you have any trouble with larger files.
EDIT 7/17 11:40 PM
Some have experienced small amount of lag while uploading multiple images via the mobile version of the site, if this happens to you please let me know, it may be nothing but it could also be something...
Also I want some awesome homepage backsplash images for the site and would love them to be by you steemit creative folks so... Go check out my other post - https://steemit.com/steemit/@blueorgy/steemimg-com-looking-for-an-awesome-homepage-image-get-featured-steem

While it is interesting for you, I am looking into how it would work for steemit in general to have other websites use the blockchain. There might be an incentive to keep from doing so if steemit.com is tailored into it. In that case it would pretty much castrate the blockchain.

Doesn't necessarily need to... outside apps and websites could simply reference the trusted steemit blockchain. Obviously needs to be done right, but doesn't always need to be on-chain.

I can re-word this to fit best with the community , it essentially is a default tos for image upload sites. I plan on working with a lawyer and making it as open as possible.

How hard would it be to add on Free Image functionality, so uploaders could potentially earn Steem dollars from their images over time? I thought about the idea when I first learned about Steemit, it just seems an ideal opportunity to combine two great services in one, and help users again earn directly from their hard work. Of course you could only do it with original content, but an image parser to make sure no theft?
