I run Torchat and Onioncat. For at least an hour last night, my Torchat showed that I was not online, but someone else was, implying that he could see me online. I have a laptop which also has Tor, but it's just a client. I verified with Onioncat that two hidden services on the same box could not contact each other, but the laptop could contact both of them. The relay is running 0.2.2.34; the laptop is running 0.2.1.30. My Torchat now sees that I'm online, without having restarted Tor. What could cause this?

This has happened many times to me but it always fixes itself after a while. I suppose that your tor client uses a different hidden service directory node than that other guy that could see you. Perhaps different hidden service directories are not always in sync so some people see a service while others don't and it's possible that you are in the second group (untill the directories get synced).
