I'm hesitant. On the deposit page for Bitcoin (XBT)  it says, "The deposit addresses can change from deposit to deposit. So each time you deposit, you'll need to visit this page to get your current deposit addresses." I have one address I have previously used, and it is labeled as 'Used Address'. Is it still safe to deposit to this address? (I generated a new deposit address anyway to be sure.)

Gratulations, hopefully you open up soon for Austria too! (didn't try yet, maybe you already are?)

What actually happened was an Intersango customer, me, having the nerve to ask to be let back into her account urgently when locked out of it without notice - and his Royal L33tness Patrick 'Sheldon Cooper' Strateman deciding the said customer hadn't been showing the required degree of deference for him to honor his actual social and legal obligations.

Wanting her bitcoins??? In a hurry?? Outrageous!

In his mind it looked like I was trying to tell him what to do, and he is showing me he will not be told what to do - by witholding access to bitcoins he knows I need to save my dog's life. He thinks killing a dog will prove what a big man he is. Plus he gets to keep my $10k and make a little girl cry.

Well, you wanted to know what happened. Just some freak on a power trip.

And meanwhile Kuthrapali Taaki there, someone you would think would have some kind of control over either the server, or his business partner, thinks he is in hiding.

Bless.

I found Taaki in minutes, and Norman in an evening. I don't need to find Strateman, they have him already, and killing my little girl's pet out of what I can prove is spite - will guarantee the punitive damages awarded against him in the Bitcoinica case will be sufficient that he will now spend the rest of his life, effectively, as a slave.

If it wasn't for the loss of my precious Buddy, I'd say $10,000 to see that happen is a bargain.

From what I have seen of the evidence filed, there wasn't much proving Strateman's malicious intent towards his customers - although it is being specifically pleaded and some amusing evidence was snuck in. Unless they have a lot more in reserve it was a bit iffy though. There was a good chance the hacker story would have held up in front of the jury.

Not a snowball's chance of that if they see Buddy's trusting little face, my support ticket screen shots, the vet records and a few leaked emails.

Now, can anyone tell me, via i c e m a i d e n 0 7 a t g m a i l how they think Strateman is funding his legal defense? I am also interested in Donald Elliot Norman's birthplace.

I'll probably still have to wait a week or so after that for them to work out the kinks and gain some reputation, though.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Why don't you post the fundraising address?

You found a bug that can be patched. Kudos. If there were an active development team, you would have alerted them privately first I presume rather than stir a panic. I do hope some developers will take this warning to heart and fix the problem, even if a bounty is necessary. Because like the OP, Namecoin is also the favorite alt-coin of many others.
