What are the hardware specs of the Blurt image server? I would also be curious to know how much space the storage of the images takes?
That'd be interesting to know.
Is IPFS used on the image server as well?

Personally I would prefer Arweave for immutable or Filecoin if we need GDPR compliance to take down images.

We use S3-compatible storage bucket, the same as what they use for Steem and Hive.
We had plans to switch over to uploading on IPFS as some point, but we never went through with it.
As @tekraze said in his comment, IPFS is slow and unreliable. We would have to run IPFS nodes as well, which would cost a lot more than using an S3-compatible storage bucket.
No, it's a storage bucket
A lot of blockchain tech uses IPFS, is there any reason for not doing so with Blurt?
IPFS is slow as well not reliable, it was used at start but then was removed.
Don't 3speak/dtube use IPFS for storing their videos? 3speak seems pretty fast and has been reliable on everything but upload.
Dtube storage is not working yet(under maintenance and some work is going on for IPFS) and 3speak use self-hosted IPFS that is a little performant but costly over what current solution we have.
