malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /usr/share/shutter/resources/system/upload_plugins/upload/Minus.pm line 145.

Wintermute seems to be right, it's just broken (as of now). However, in the link he provided, there seems to be a patch.

What you need to do is download the "Imgur.patch" file, and put it next to "Imgur.pm" found in:

/usr/share/shutter/resources/system/upload_plugins/upload/

Then go to that directory in your terminal, then run

sudo patch Imgur.pm Imgur.patch

This should use the .patch file to patch Imgur.pm. If it goes over well, the console should just output "patching file Imgur.pm" and nothing else.
