Right now, user uploaded images via paperclip are hosted on heroku's app.
Example:
http://ruby-monday-blog.herokuapp.com/system/posts/images/000/000/002/thumb/hacker.gif?1438966069
This will work for a short period of time (maybe 3-4 hours), but then heroku will wipe out the image. For details why, see this post here (ignore the carrierwave info there - that's a separate gem):
