On: Show HN: I made a no-bullshit image host

I do like his "buy a key" approach. He's basically asking for an IMGZ giftcard he can buy without setting up an account.

(Not as the primary model of course, just as an additional payment option)

That's like a free child pornography host pass, I'd rather not.

So is btc... You will need to be much more proactive about that. I can easily get a burner phone i cash, register gmail with it, buy btc , buy vpn with btc and upload to your site. There are better ways to manage and police fraud and crime (ML can very easily detect age and human body -- require human review if ML flags it before hosting it). Or better yet ban all nsfw like tumblr

Yeah, if I get any illegal images from BTC payers I'll take BTC down. Hopefully I won't have to.

Are you going to shut down credit card payments when someone used a stolen card to upload illegal images?

[stavros → lawn]

Yes.

[aeorgnoieang → stavros]

I think the grandparent comment was asking if you'd disable credit card payments for everyone, i.e. for your entire site.

[stavros → aeorgnoieang]

Yes! Cash-in-alley only!
