    Hay @tyvain,

    Actually I needed something like this some time ago for a project and was searching for a solution.

    1. You can't upload images directly to the blockchain (Which is good because it would be god damn fcking huge now)
    2. I was thinking about writing an api for "steemimages.com" which is a service offered by Steem. Sadly, the result of a quick analysis is that it is limitted to "steemit.com" as a destination. I did not spend much time on this so this information may be wrong...
    3. I ended up using this Java-Lib to upload images to imgur.

    Hope that helps a bit :)

    yeah thanks.
    I ended up with the same solution: using cloudinary.com wich is very simple img hosting.
    A steemimages lib could be perfect, but 3rd party solutions works well also.

    Great to hear that :)

    True. I will try to check it again when I have more time, but as you said: Thirdparty libs are working too, so this idea has a quite low priority for me right now :)

    The steemit condenser script unfortunately does not leave the src='data:' urls intact, it prefixes them with the steemit images redirect and then the images show up as broken.

    I definitely see a use case where simple (well compressed) graphics would be useful to include inline, like for, basic subject oriented icons, bullets, or other simple graphical style-ups for a post.

    I see where a user has posted an issue on github in regards to this, maybe enough up-votes on the issue will have positive results?

    I also a little surprised that the user posts aren't in a secure iframe? Wouldn't that let them be more permissive as to allowed tags? I notice that even <span> tags are problematic, as well as the lack of inline styles of any kind (it seems a subset could be put into a whitelist of some sort).
