The website has been down for hours and no information were given to us yet. What is happening?  Sorry about that, just some server troubles.. back up now! And the cert should stop giving an error soon too! |

Heya!
Sorry about that.. we're using blockchain's "payment API" to receive the btc in, and since Tuesday they've been having intermittent lags on processing deposits! It looks like yours did go through now though.. it took them 27 confirmations to notice. :/
Thanks for using bitcoin builder!!
josh!

Over at bitcoinbuilder.com right now the highest bid is 80% and lowest ask is 87%!

Just updating I've now added a full history of trades (time, quantity, price) linked from the public order book over at https://www.bitcoinbuilder.com/ . The most recent market price is .72 now. |

Just letting people know you can now see the open order book right on the front page of https://www.bitcoinbuilder.com/ and the highest current bid is .73 BTC per Gox BTC! |

Just wanted to chime in and say that joshbb seems very trustworthy to me. I have been using his bitmadness site a lot and it is awesome. Will be depositing 5BTC to his exchange and hope we can get a market going over there.
Awesome, thanks for the vote of confidence! And I hope so too!  |

Hi Josh, this sounds a good idea! I signed up for your site and might buy some GoxBTC on it.
It would be great if we could see a history of trades that have been made on your site.
I see from your previous posts that you appear to be running Chunkhost and also doing a couple of other entrepreneurial things...it would be great if someone well known or with higher trust in the forum could vouch for you.
Great, thanks for checking it out! I'll add a history of trades... as soon as there are some! Ah yeah, when I first signed up I got verified by "maged" that I was josh@dreamhost.com.. I'm not sure if he or anybody else more well known in the forum could do that again? Or just post here....? I have been a bit of a lurker recently on bitcointalk! |

Heh, now that's the funniest kind of an exchange! :-)
No offense to you, all offense to MtGox!
I wish you good luck - and to everyone involved in this situation.
Thanks! I definitely was drawn to it a bit by the surrealism of it all, but also that nevertheless there clearly is a real need! |

Josh, This is a great idea but I'm not sure you're trustworthy enough as a counterparty. This is kinda a tricky problem to solve with current tech.
Yeah, that is the big question of course.. I'd figure maybe my reputation would be enough for some people but probably not for everybody! |

Hey guys! I know people are pretty sick of the Mt. Gox BTC withdrawal freeze, and are starting to take matters into their own hands... I saw https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=455243 and got to thinking.. what if somebody just made an actual BTC exchange between "Real" BTC and "Gox" BTC! So I did! Since my https://www.bitcoinbuilder.com/ site had fallen into a little bit of disuse (I made it two years ago... back then it was for using dwolla to automatically buy bitcoins on mtgox!), over the last two days I've re-purposed it to exactly this purpose. And now it's ready to launch! Advantages of this: 1. People who want to sell gox btc, you know any offers in the order book are legit and will execute immediately. No need for constant PMing and hoping the person willing to buy your gox btc is online right now and still willing to honor their post! 2. People who want to buy gox btc, you can now accept any size order without it being extra work for you. Just place your limit order and forget about it. 3. As the exchange, I am a trusted "escrow" service all in one.. no more sending small amounts piece-by-piece/skyping/etc. (I can be considered "trusted" as a long time member of bitcoin talk.. I'm Josh Jones, founder of DreamHost, the Los Angeles Bitcoin Meetup, ChunkHost.com, BitMadness.com, 310-570-COIN, and so on!) Note: there's a 2% transaction fee for all trades on bitcoinbuilder, and to be safe your withdrawal BTC addresses (one for "Real" BTC and one for your "Gox" BTC... must be a mtgox deposit address!) are permanently set and locked once you put them in. Also, all withdrawals are processed manually by me, once daily at (around) 11pm PST. That's because no coins are kept on the server at all, you know, just to be super safe! So, go check it out! I hope it makes sense and you find it useful! Thanks, josh! |

Hey guys! I saw this thread and got to thinking.. this could be a whole lot easier if somebody just made an actual exchange between "Real" BTC and "Gox" BTC! So I did! Since my https://www.bitcoinbuilder.com/ site had fallen into a little bit of disuse (I made it two years ago... back then it was for using dwolla to automatically buy bitcoins on mtgox!), over the last two days I've re-purposed it to exactly this purpose.

I hope it makes sense and you find it useful. It seems to me like it should be somewhat at least! Thanks, josh! |

Warning: SCAM. This is the guy who made cloudcrypter, and it is just a scrape of coingen.io except you get nothing, and he keeps your bitcoins. I learned the hard way. Coingen.io works though!
|
|
|
|
not much cheaper, and no rapport who is cloudcrypter?? I just learned the hard way.  Coingen.io is legit though. |
|

Cloudcrypter is a easy-peasy coin mint. Not sure how many types have been created already, but that's where you can look for updates, if you indeed want a "full list".
Warning: Cloudcrypter is a scam! It's a copy of coingen.io, except they just take your BTC and do nothing. I learned the hard way. |

Warning: CloudCrypter.net is a SCAM!
I just tried both and learned the hard way. Your coins are gone, you get nothing, no response to any attempt to contact. Sigh.
Coingen is legit though! Which is pretty cool.

Scam! Sucked up http://coingen.io/ source code, charges a little less to make you want to use them. Does not send anything, just takes your coins! I learned the hard way, sigh. |

Great, thanks!
I'm not sure exactly what you're saying with the 1/2 off the 4GB server with double credit? With the double credit you are essentially getting half off!
The double credit was planned to end at midnight tonight (in 23 minutes) but if you're a little late and it doesn't show up, just pm me! We're willing to extend it some for you guys, we love you so much!

Thanks! Go for it! And the double credit for bitcoin payments expires in 14 hours so sooner is better! Nice hosting site. I'll probably rent a VPS from you soon |
