Yes! It's back.

Thanks Tosaki. I really appreciate all the work you've put into this.
Thanks for keeping the prices low.

Hope you decide not sell it and continue to improve upon it with new vigor.
I've enjoyed watching the slowly-but-surely growth on your site over the months.

You do realize the original tosaki sold bitmit, and his forum account, months ago? The guy who currently runs bitmit and now acts under the tosaki name on this forum isn't the same guy who started bitmit.

That said, I still think bitmit is a very good bitmit service. Since you can buy a great deal of stuff there, it's really a loop-closer in the Bitcoin economy. I hope whoever ends up running it does it well.

By loop-closer I mean it closes the loop from BTC user to BTC user, so that there's no real need to go back from BTC to fiat currency.

huh?!?

When did that happen? Did the buyer get his Bitcointalk user account as well?

Read this thread. It all burns down to tosaki not speaking German anymore. He was quite active on the German forum before and then wasn't able to reply to German PMs anymore. He kind of acknowledged that the ownership of bitmit.net changed but isn't talkative at all. To the degree of information we get, I assume there is a language barrier or something. Obviously he's struggling to keep bitmit online but not so much to keep people here satisfied.

Well, I skimmed through the thread and had no luck of finding evidence of the site changing hands. There was an incidence Here where he thought he would have to shut it down or sell, but then says he worked everything out and all was OK:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41592.msg1286148#msg1286148

Did he admit it had changed hands in the German forums? I don't speak German so it would be nice if someone could investigates the specifics and put it here. I had communicated with the "original" Tosaki several times through email and he had referenced a "team" a few times. Could it be that he simply is no longer part of that team?
