WWW.TALKIMG.COM

I present a new image hosting service, specially designed for BitcoinTalk and the entire community.
After a few years of noticing how many images do not appear correctly in the forum or are very slow to load, not to mention the images that stop appearing after a few months or years, the TalkImg project was born.


 Purpose  ____________________
Provide a hosting service dedicated to the BitcoinTalk forum that is useful and practical for everyone.
It is intended that the images remain available in the forum, and have a fast loading.


 Features ____________________
- All uploaded images can only be used in the forum (unless requested by a user; it can be done after an evaluation by joker_josue).
- It is only allowed to upload images in formats accepted by the forum (JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF).
- Images must have a maximum size of 2.5MB.
- Once uploaded, images cannot be deleted (unless you use the link generated at the time of upload, which is only accessible at that time).
- NSFW images are not allowed.
- No registration of user information is performed (only the IP is saved for spam control).
- All EXIF information is deleted by the system when uploading.
- Option in the code to embed the BBCode already with the actual height and width of the image (just choose "BBCode full fix HxW").
- new Automatic conversion of images larger than 2.5MB.
- new Accepts and converts images in formats not supported by the forum (WEBP, BMP, HEIC, HEIF, and AVIF).
- new Edit the images before uploading (crop, rotate, add text, underline, etc.)
- new It automatically generates tables when multiple images are uploaded at the same time.


 Long Term  __________________
I have several years of experience with online galleries, and based on that experience I hope to keep this project online for as long as possible. Of course, we cannot predict the future, but what depends on me, this project will be maintained for many, many years.


 Server  _____________________
Currently, the TalkImg dedicated server (VPS) is located in Michigan, US. It uses AlmaLinux 8, 64-bit OS, with 4 cores of CPU, 4 GB of RAM and a 120 GB hard disk. For security reasons, it also uses Cloudflare's protection system, in addition to the server's own DDoS protection system. It is prepared to scale at any time, as needed.


 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.


 Backups ___________________
- A ZIP is created weekly with all the new image uploads from the last week, which will be available for download for 15 days, here: talkimg.com/tempbackups/
- A ZIP is created monthly with all images that have been accessed at least once by the Bitcointalk image proxy, and that have not already been included in previous zips. They will be available for download for 60 days, here: talkimg.com/tempbackups/btctalk_bk/
An API is available for those who request it to facilitate the download of these backups. A weekly offline backup of all images uploaded to TalkImg is also made.

I find this curious. Have you reached an agreement to promote the casino? If so, the KYC issue should be clarified first and foremost.


Lol, there are a ton of casinos advertising like that lately.


Not me.


That case was about Jet Casino, this one is called jetLA. Are you sure they are the same?

Welcome to bitcointalk Jetla, another casino promoting itself to be a nokyc platform. First look at the TOS and we can find this: https://jetla.com/terms-conditions

Welcome to bitcointalk Jetla, another casino promoting itself to be a nokyc platform. First look at the TOS and we can find this: https://jetla.com/terms-conditions
9.5.1" Jetla is entitled, at its sole and absolute discretion, to use any additional procedures and means it may deem fit to verify the player’s identity, age, residence, and other circumstances (KYC), both before and after effecting deposits into player accounts and/or making a withdrawal. At any point after a player account is initially verified, Jetla reserves the right to request additional documents if circumstances impose such actions (e.g., use of a new payment method, suspicious account activity, changes in withdrawal patterns, or regulatory requirements)."

You might say that you will enforce kyc only in specific circumstances, but this also what kyc casino do.

You have done well to make a site with the retro/win98 style but honestly it doesnt hit it for me. Looks very basic and outdated by 2026 standards.

Anyone think this is attractive and fun to play on ?

Anyways, I found an unresolved case 2 years ago against the said casino on AskGamblers, in which the complainant is complaining, among other things, about their demand for KYC verification after requesting the first set, which includes live video.

You might say that you will enforce kyc only in specific circumstances, but this also what kyc casino do. You said that kyc is enforced even the user changes the payment method. According to this I have to use only payment method and never change what you call a withdraw pattern. I think I should consider finding some better alternatives. Many of them do already exist.

Another casino with Nokyc misleading information: they should just make it known that they are a KYC casino and stop beating around the bush. Their terms basically scream full KYC. You can’t tell me someone will start gambling using BTC, for example, and never use another currency to deposit unless they want to be asked for KYC verification, and that’s the least.

Right and Ledger is actually not the one been criticized with recent hacking, but rather their resellers.

Now what Mr CZ? Should we just forget the incident and move on? And also keep buying Ledger devices? Same logic should apply with cryptobilis and we should keep buying stuff from that store because things like this happen.

Thanks once more for the heads-up, joker_josue

I just updated the Romanian translation. And, as usual, I also mentioned your update inside AOBT, for more visibility.

هذه نقطة مهمة مهمة في ما يخص المستخدمين في المنطقة العربية و الطرق المتاحة لهم لشراء محفظات هاردوير. شخصيا كل الذين اعرفهم في بلدي يمتلكون هذه المحفظات كانوا قد اشتروها من متاجر معتمدة قبل ان يصبح بامكان الجمارك التعرف عليها كما اليوم، او طلبوا من احد اقاربهم بالخارج اقتناءها من أجلهم. يمكن اعتبار الطريقتين آمنتين الى حد ما و لكن اليوم بعد ان اصبحت تلك الاجهزة معروفة لدى اجهزة الجمارك فقد اصبحت الطرق محدودة جدا. و على هذا الاساس فان اي طريقة اليوم لشراء هذه الاجهزة سواء عبر الانترنت او عبر وسطاء موثوقين من العائلة تعتبر مخاطرة جسيمة و لا يمكن ابدا التنبأ بعواقبها. يؤسفني فعلا ان هذا هو واقع الحال اليوم في البلدان العربية بما في ذلك اكثر الدول الصديقة للكريبتو. استغل هذه الفرصة للسؤال ما اذا كان احدنا هنا في المجموعة العربية لديه طريقة موثوقة فعلا لاقتناء محفظة هاردوير عبر الانترنت او عبر اي وسيلة اخرى تمكن المنتج من الدخول للمنطقة العربية بأمان. كل هذا و لم نناقش بعد مدى موثوقية الشركات المصنعة بعد.

This doesn't deny the fact that Donald Trump is using the crypto to show some interest to one of the major topics in debate just like he is supporting community. While he is in fact making big profit out of it in his shitcoins projects after using it in his electoral campaign.

Today the debate in the USA is about midterm elections, which the time for Trump to re-use the crypto debate again while try to deviate the attention from the big lose in Iran war.

في خضم موجة تهكير المنصات التي نشهدها منذ فترة، أعتقد أن هذا ما كان ينقصما بالضبط لفقدان الثقة تماما بجميع الخدمات المركزية في فضاء Web3. للأسف فان الثمن قد يكون غاليا جدا للبعض لتعلم درس عدم الوثوق بالخدمات المركزية عموما و بخدمات الطرف الثالث خصوصا. و هذه الواقعة تؤكد الحالتين. ما حصل فعلا هو عملية اختراق تقني أدت الى تهكير كلمات البذرة لمجموعة من مستخدمي Ledger.

محفظة Ledger التي تعتبر من أكثر المحفظات الفيزيائية أمانا هي محفظة مغلقة المصدر بالكامل و لا أحد يعرف كيف تتم عملية توليد كلمات البذرة، أي أن المستخدم عليه أن يثق بالشركة المصنعة 1000% لكي يشعر بالأمان مطمئنا على أصوله محفوظة بشكل سليم تماما و الا فانه لا يملك الا خيار التخلي عنها. هذا يتيح فرضية أن تكون العملية تمت بيد مصنّع المحفظة ليستغل الثغرة لاحقا و طبعا لا يمكنه نفي ذلك بما أنه ينتج محفظة مغلقة المصدر. هذا طبعا يؤكد انه لا يجب ابدا الوثوق بالخدمات المركزية التي تقدم منتجات مغلقة المصدر حتى لو كانت تتمتع بتقييم Audit موثوق.

من جهة أخرى فقد اتجهت الانظار الى احد البائعين في شرق آسيا باعتبار أن جميع الأجهزة المخترقة قد تم شراؤها من خلاله كخدمات طرف ثالث. هي شركة تسمى Cryptobilis و هي متجر يوفر عديد المنتجات في فضاء العملات المشفرة. اللافت للنظر في هذه الشركة انها ايست بائعا معتمدا من طرف شركة Ledger، و لكن هناك شواهد أن الشركة توصي بعض المستخدمين من شرق آسيا ممن تتعذر عليهم الشراءات منها مباشرة أن يستعملوا Cryptobilis باعتبارها متجرا أقرب اليهم يوفر منتجاتهم بالرغم من أنهم غير معتمدين رسميا أي أنهم متجر عادي يبيع منتجات بهامش ربح معين. مؤسسوا المتجر أصدروا بيانا يوضحون فيه أنه تم نقل ملكية المتجر الى مالك جديد اشترى جميع المساهمات فيها بنسبة 100%، و مفروض أنه تم ابلاغ جميع الأطراف بذلك بما فيهم شركة Ledger نفسها طبعا.
هذا يفتح الباب لاحتمالات جديدة بأن المالك الجديد قد قام بتغييرات على الجهاز (تم فعلا الكشف عن وجود شرائح sim مضافة داخل الاجهزة المخترقة) لاختراق الاجهزة التي سيبيعها بعد اتمام صفقة التمليك للمتجر. أو أن المالك القديم قد باع الشركة بعد ان قام بتهكير المحفظات ليخلي ذمته من المسؤولية اليوم بعد اتمام عملية نقل الأموال.

في جميع الأحوال فانه تبقى شركة ليدجر هي الذي يتحمل المسؤولية الكبيرة في هذا الذي حصل، ان لم تكن متورطة مباشرة فيه. و تبقى الغلطة الأكبر هي غلطة المستخدم الذي لم يثق فقط في جهاز مغلق المصدر صنعته شركة ربحية، بل انه أيضا اقتناه من متجر غير معتمد سواء بتوصية من الشركة او بدونها. تصوروا هناك مستخدم فقد $5٫8 مليون في هذه العملية.

من المهم الاشارة الى انه لا يبدو ان سعر البيتكوين قد تأثر بهذا الحدث الى حد الآن. من المتوقع ان تتراجع ثقة المستثمرين باسواق الكريبتو بعد تراجع الثقة باكثر المحفظات أمانا التي هي محفظات الهاردوير.

للتوضيح فقط في ما يحص مزضوع ضرب ايران فانه ليس هناك اي قوة ستقوم باستفتاء قبل ان تضرب عسكريا دولة اخرى او تدخل في حرب. ترامب يتمتع حزبه باغلبية برلمانية فيها نواب يمثلون الناخلين الامريكيين و بالتالي يمكن القول نعم فالشعب الامريكي موافق و هذا كان ظهر فعلا في استطلاعات الرأي عند بداية الحرب. المسألة بالنسبة للقوى الكبرى ليست عنتريات كما يتصورها رئيس السلفادور.

I will say you both are right, since, with or without a job, I am addicted to gamblers always source for means to fuel their gambling, even more than some of them source for food. They might not have property to sell or where to work and make money, but some of them can go as low as begging on the street as if they are hungry, but when given the money, they divert it into gambling, until they realize how lost they are and try to pull themselves out. There is never a stop for them.

I don't agree with the idea that an addicted gambler will always find ways to get money to gamble, especially if he is a jobless person. Maybe he will shelter to stealing or selling house stuffs but all of those are temporary solution that will end as soon as he lose his next bet. I prefer saying that an addicted to gambling will always use all the money he can get from whatever resources in whatever method, in gambling. He might stop gambling for a period because he has money to play, but the first opportunity he can get some freaks, he will run happily to the nearest casino.

Same point I was trying to make that even when a gambler that is addicted keeps losing, he cannot just stop gambling, since he doesn’t know his limit, instead he would go as far as borrowing money to keep gambling. The only thing that might stop him is maybe after borrowing from people and he still does not make any profit or win to pay back his debt and has no means of borrowing again, then since there is no option where to get money to gamble he can decide to pause gambling then but does not necessarily mean his stopping gambling.

It's crazy but yes it's true you end up some times not being able to control yourself to be able to know when to stop but this happens mostly with people who are addicted to gambling in this case this person's do not necessarily need to have all the money they need because most times if they really cannot get the money they need to gamble at a time some of them go as far as borrowing to gamble and it's that bad for them so even at the point of borrowing they still do not know when to stop gambling.

A gambler with no source of income will not chase losses because he won't have more money to spend, it isn't easy to lose and let go unless the gambler has the discipline to stop when he is losing. The spirit of gambling is what makes losers to keep looking for a way to win but those who knows the disadvantages of chasing after losses they will stop when they are not winning. The mindset controls what we do if your mindset could not stop you not even the money you lack will stop you until you are not having anything to pay again.

Many always think when gamblers chase after losses it is because they are jobless and have no source of income, but this is not true. Anybody can chase losses, even those who have a source of income. Some gamblers can't just bear the pain of loss, and they haven't understood gambling that it is a game of loss and win. If you don't know this and build your mind well, loss will look like a big thing that you can't easily let go. Chasing losses is not a matter of not having a source of income; it is a mindset, and it can be changed with an understanding of what gambling is all about.

If I well understood your post, does this mean that chasing after their loss is a sign that they are making gambling a source of income?
Something contradictive in your post. You said they are jobless people and then you said it is why they spend full time gambling. If they don't keep winning, they can't continue gambling since their jobless, they don't have a source of income.

Overall, good to see the website finally shut down.

If they don't keep winning, they can't continue gambling since they’re jobless, they don't have a source of income.

بالأمس تم نشر خبر تورط منظمة صينية في تبييض الأموال لصلح لازاروس و الأكيد ان هناك شبهات شبه مؤكدة من توطئ النظام الصيني في ذلك

Sorry but what do you mean by saying "exchanges do not monthly require for kyc"? CEX are kyc services who ask for it only one time or when required for activity review. Nothing is in monthly or weekly basis if i am not missing something in the context you used.
Kyc exchanges can also be described as instant exchanges if they instantly proceed orders as the user is exchanging with the platform itself, while regular exchanges can take longer time because users are exchanging between each other.

Op is asking a simple question but has a complicated answer(s). There are many reasons why an exchange that is promoted itself as "Instant" to delay prcessing orders. The frequent reason is that they flag the deposit and ask for kyc verification before processing the order, if they are not scammers.

الفكرة نفسها نشأت في دولة أخرى لا تقل فقرا هي افريقيا الوسطى و لكن الفرق انها سريعا ما تخلت عن طموحات الكريبتو بعد ان أدركت عجزها عن مجاراته

هل سبب فشل هذه التجربة هو الوضع الاقتصادي المتدهور، ام السبب هو عدم وجود رؤية و برنامج واضح

هذا كان انتصار معنوي كبير جدا لمجتمع بيتكوين... وهذا بحد ذاته إنجاز كبير

لا نسمع شيئا عنها لاحقا و تتحول مباشرة الى قضية باردة Cold-case

I still don't believe that anyone will try to make gambling his source of income when he doesn't have the power to decide the outcome of any game.

You are right about this point. Almost all casinos can detect the multi-accounting without the user makes mistake by depositing from the same source. There exist what is called device fingerprint by which the system can detect accounts using the same devices. Unless the multi accounting user is old school who doesn't change his IP each time he changes the account.

Well, we can't tell if the casino would act directly once catched or not. But I guess many of them wait until the person uses his accounts and makes deposits, then once willing to withdraw some winnings he will get hos account suspended for review. Then we know the result.

Not all other regions. Users from Germany don't see the Cloudflare error either.
If you visit the website with a German IP address, you will see a message saying "Sorry, this website has been blocked at request of the German government authorities."

For other users from other regions, it shows a host error from cloudflare. Lucky are those residing in countries where everything online should be locally regulated.
