Are you saying that you'd like to do image hosting from command line? I think you might be opposite to the target audience of this site.

That would be cool, though.
Personally, I either want to upload stuff from Finder, or upload stuff from the command line.
What I hate doing is browsing to an image from a file picker.
Something like http://sprunge.us/ for images would be great!

You can use the built-in photo sharing on Dropbox, or use Dropbox integration with http://ourdoings.com/

Imgur has a nice API. I modified a ruby CLI for uploading images to imgur to fit my particular needs; you can find it at https://github.com/xiongchiamiov/limgur (or gem install limgur).
I believe you can also upload things pretty simply using curl, but I wanted to be able to generate bbCode thumbnails and such in one fell swoop.

You could use googlecl: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/

Nope, but it'd be simply very useful to have at least some option to show file selector when I can put file path in my filesystem, because quite often I have that much more readily available than some option to drag and drop the file.

The upload by folder option is already available in Opera/Internet explorer, we will add it for all browsers soon :)

Something like this would be nice:
curl -F @/path/to/image.jpg http://min.us/upload

This is Carl, cofounder of Minus. Thank you for the suggestion, Ryan. We've been designing and iterating on an API and have just about finalized it. We'll implement this in a week's time or so, after we fix a few bugs first that folks on this list pointed out to us.

Glad to see you so responsive - and thanks for an elegant image hosting service!
