Well I'm in the process of learning a new functional programming language called F#. One of the first things people tend to do when learning a new programming language is write little, often completely useless, programs to test and verify their knowledge of the language.

Same with me. Since F# is very good with processing raw data I decided to make a data to image transcoder. So the program would read data (a file) and generate an image out of that data in a way that makes it possible to reverse the process (data out of an image).

This is probably nothing really new or special but it became obvious that this could be potentially be used for turning image hosts into file hosts. For example:
- take a big ISO file
- generate images out of it
- upload images
- post links to images on a warez forum

People could then:
- download images
- use a program to extract the iso out of it

This sounds kinda like rapidshare and rars. The thing about this is is that it doesn't have waiting times and doesn't cost money. I just wanted to hear your opinions/ideas about this because I'm considering turning this little test program into a 'real' public program.
