At 12 minute mark, the New Image Server, is this something only Hive.blog related or will other front ends be using it also? Is this to move away from the Amazon Web Service stuff, and will it provide a longer term image storage, or still drop images after a certain amount of time?
Thanks again for the post, very much appreciate how you are all trying to keep us informed.
Most (all? unsure) front ends are using the same image server provided by blocktrades. AFAIK the infrastructure is not on AWS and the images are not dropped after a certain amount of time but I could be wrong.
Okay, I seem to recall, (may be wrong), that over on Steem images were only stored for two years and they used amazon to store the images. It would be nice if the pictures got the same treatment as the words and lasted forever, but they do take a heck of a lot more space than words.
We don't discard images on the imageserver.
Thank you for the confirmation, and I really appreciate that you are willing to store some pretty big files like images.
