Since they are under the same company, their liability to you and to other BTC-central customer should be same and treated equally. Hope this calms you a little bit.

I doubt that would fly.  As I recollect things, ~davout just picked Instawallet up from ~jav when he lost interest as a side project 'because it was so cool', and mostly just let it run.

I used it because I liked the simplicity and not having to provide an e-mail addy.  I also liked that they were straight-up about their warnings vis-a-vis security.

Up until a few days ago, I had around 40 BTC there.  Back when that was around $100 bucks it didn't bother me much, but at $4000 it became a bigger source of concern to me.  So I sent half to my fossilized Mt. Gox account and put them up for sale at around $150, then gave a few more away.  So, if they've gone tit's up or flat out stolen my money (which is the same net effect to me) all I can say is that it could have been worse.  Losing all the value I had with them is certainly not something I thought unlikely.
