I wish I had some time ago, I could get out before the crash that is imminent...

There is a good documentary of Bitcoin in Netflix, in the first crash during the early 2000, holders lost 90% of their holdings.  I worked with computers from 1968 until 2010 when I retired from IBM STG (the hardware division) and I am wary of trusting open source handling of the block chain ledgers, how can the system work with miner's machines, those who maintain the block chain ledgers, are in basements, garages, etc...as the documentary ended, "bitcoin" or digital currency will eventualy be common items within in house block chain systems controlled by banks or other authorities, the very   concept that bitcoin try to avoid.    (block chain is the key technology supporting the ledgers)

 

What would be the value of bitcoin if it cannot be used to launder money or to do transactions with anonymity like in the early days of buying drugs over the net. One area they hope to fulfil is remittances to people around the world  particularly those without bank accounts. Today the smartphone and "private" systems already allow transfer of moneys to the boodocks to people without the need for the banking system.  

 

Will bitcoin maintain such high value, maybe but if you are hoping to cash in make sure you are quick in getting out.

 

Note, the same concept with clouds, clouds exists but mostly within inhouse control or third party owning the systems as with AWS, Amazon.

 

I should have invested $100, in the early days and that amount would be worth $28 million today.

I have removed some of the problem for my self and re-become a premium member, But I still think that 500 is a bit yesterdayish.

To return to the original question, one method is to upload the photo to Flickr and then use the sharing options there to post a link to the photo in your message on this site. The photo will then appear here and not be subject to the size restrictions.

 

Sorry, Steve, if it gets imbedded in the post the same size restrictions apply and the moderators will remove it if it is too large. Only a real link is acceptable.

For the Original Poster, perhaps you might review your process/settings to maximise the quality of your images within the Forum guidelines. I recorded a very simple action for Photoshop to make conversions to do that. For online viewing on various devices I find that works well. I have just standardised that for my main on-line galleries too. I normally just post a copy directly although a link works.

Moderators... can we form a bitcoin thread from the comments here in general thread. Looks like it will be interesting discussion.

Hi Andy

On my drive it is almost 1000kb. BTW, I am using Affinity Photo, and maybe someone has some good ideas of how to optimize file size reduction using this software?

[jaapv]

The problem may be in the export module (called "Persona" I believe) as it defaults to some proprietary format -.afphoto- or a PSD file, which then has to be converted to JPG. The DPR review called it "frustrating".

You might  try out some more upmarket, but still affordable software like Luminar or ON1.
