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).
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?
