    The idea of this bot is to put the IPFS hash next to the post that contained the image .. until Steemit does IPFS automatically

    I just saved an imgur pic and uploaded it to ipfs and posted the link given back by ipfs.
    The pic doesn't appear automatically in place of the link like other pics.

      • The bot cannot change your posts
      • the bot merely uploads your pic into ipfs (currently via ipfs.pics) and gives you a hash and link It will not show the picture

      I understood that. What I meant to say was that Steem wasn't converting the link to a pic automatically like it converts the youtube link to a video at the post automatically. May be Steem is still working on it?

        I found that you have to load and right click on the ipfs pic and get its final location, and that https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/filename link will display here.

            The OP can change the image url in his post to the path the bot posted in its reply, but it won't happen automatically.

            Ok, Do I have to installed IPFS at my computer for the bot to work with my post?

              Nop. Nothing needs to be done from your side of things. Just post an image and it will give you an IPFS hash (and upload it to ipfs.pics)
