Probably just not interested in bad publicity.
+1.We're getting an office space ASAP. The Wyoming incorporation service was mainly for tax reasons and to get the site off the ground. I apologize if you got the wrong idea because of it. We're working to provide as trustworthy and secure of a service as possible.
Edit: The phone number is up on the main page. We changed it so international callers could reach us as well.
Bad publicity from what? Why was the WhoIs changed at the same time?
As for the WhoIs, I assumed it was private the entire time, but we recently switched over our nameservers to an anti-ddos system. That might have done it? We're still using the address for any emails we send out (per CAN-SPAM regulations.)What is the point of this thread? It's interesting that it follows a major ddos attack wave. Is there an implied accusation?
I guess at this point the thread is pretty long, to long to read in a short period of time, so I guess it's time for a synopsis.
A member of this forum, who has a vested interested in Bitcoin, desires to know why a Bitcoin related company uses an address in Wyoming known for "shell companies"--businesses that exist almost exclusively on paper. As a tax haven, any other address would have worked in Wyoming, but this one was specifically chosen. Why?

Hope that bought you up to speed. Sorry for the long description, but I had to hash out this explanation from this mighty long thread.
