http://dirtyimg.com is a smart Steemit image hosting alternative to SteemIMG that holds uploaded images for 15 minutes (just long enough for you to create and publish a steemit post) and then clean them (deletes completely off my server). This method of temporary image hosting utilizes Steemit's img1.steemit.com cached image protocol by giving img1.steemit.com a location of a image to cache and then deleting the original. The original is completely unneeded for images within posts & comments to be viewed here on Steemit.com.
The Image above has already been cleaned... + Was able to edit the post without the cached image trying to update itself
Please Note! that any other website / app / anything for that matter looking at the blockchain will not be able to see your images.
http://dirtyimg.com is a tool to be used for images you only want / need to be viewed here on steemit.com. A good example would be posting a comment while using an image/gif that you have no need to store anywhere but inside that comment.
I developed this for... well for fun first off (after having the idea pop up in my head the other day) and in order to try and cut down image hosting needs here on Steemit and to reduce resources used on SteemIMG (to cut long term costs) + to use what seems to be limited image caching space here on steemit's server ;) :P
Any thoughts or questions don't hesitate to comment!
Hope you Enjoy!
