2). Some users have been requesting payouts to invalid addresses.
Our service does of course check the address for looking valid, but not every string containing the right number of characters from the right character set and starting with "1" is a valid bitcoin address. These particular addresses were denied by the bitcoin client, and no payments were done. We have now manually reinserted the lost money into the system and routed it to the proper accounts, so your balance should be available for new payouts, but please note that we will not be checking for improper addresses in the future. It is your responsibility to provide us with proper addresses.
If you feel this is somehow our fault still, please contact us here or using the soon-to-be-done contact form in the tor service itself.

The last 4 or 5 bytes of every bitcoin address is a checksum, you should be able to check that an address is valid the same way that the client does. Anything less would mean you're lazy.
