Using the Imgur API would be a good way to anonymously host and post encoded images, and could be an improvement to the existing Text to Bitmap API.
The problem is, the Imgur API converts bitmaps into PNG files, which makes the hidden messages impossible to retrieve.
Options around this include:
1) Tricking the Imgur API into thinking the image is already a PNG (perhaps by putting PNG header bytes at the beginning of the bitmap file and discarding them upon retrieval from the Imgur API?)
2) Encoding messages in PNGs instead of bitmaps
3) Asking them to support bitmaps
