One thing I did notice that might be the cause of a problem. I sent an email to that crazy address of theirs and hotmail converted all the upper case chars to lowercase.

Email is not case sensitive.

It worked fine for me. Fast too. coffee4bitcoin.com was working within an hour or so.

I use them for my domains and I have not had a problem.

I did, however, have a slight problem getting my emails past their spam filter.

With BitDNS, I don't think you have to care much about customer service since registration of domain names is entirely automatic.

Usually when you posted on the bitcoin.org forum, you don't call them a fraud first. You ask for customer service on the forum...then if they did not reply, feel free to call them a scammer.

Beware, that others have good customer service with them. So this accusation can deflect back on you.

I signed up for a domain name with them about a month ago. A week later, sent an email requesting the domain to be DNS'd to a different IP. No response. Messaged their account here on the bitcoin forums, no response. Still no action. Cost me 99 BTC for the 1 month of a VPS I bought waiting for the DNS name to work. Plus the BTC I gave to these criminals for the domain name in the first place.

I am not the only one having problems with nobody home at privacy shark. There are other complaints on Privacy Shark, see this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6105

When someone posts on bitcoin.org with problems with their service, sometimes they suddenly wake up and deflect blame back on to the customer, the customer's email provider, anything except themselves.

Avoid privacy shark.
