One cautionary tale for you.

Justpaste.it is a page that offers exactly what you do - free, anonymous sharing of formatted pages, with images and all. Accessible at Tor, very lightweight.

Because it was so easy and anonymous, it started being used mostly by Islamic State to share their propaganda; so much that they needed to remove the "most popular" feature (as it was always either beheadings or other propaganda).

edit: ah, you have credit card info down. So it's not really as anonymous as justpaste.it, as the ISIS guys won't share their credit card. OK that can work.




Technology advocate: Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to -

The real world: PORN! BEHEADINGS! BOTNETS! STATE SECRETS! DOXXING! IDENTITY THEFT! FASCISM!

Technology advocate: /sobs/



That is one hell of a cautionary tale. Better than modern VICE.


> the ISIS guys won't share their credit card

They will share someone else's (who will then get swated), won't they?


Not really, if there is an easier way. Buying cards is risky; if there is a free service they will go for that instead


I'd also mention telegra.ph as a free, extremely simple and very fast alternative


Rentry and Txti.es have similar issues. Love those sites for giving me markdown-friendly alternatives to Pastebin for writing FAQs and guides and stuff, but man I cannot imagine what their spam/moderation is like.
