do i need to have a verified account to send money on mtgox? I want to trade dwolla USD for a mt gox code but I want to make sure i'll be able to move the funds
It isn't clear what you are asking. Are you saying you have Dwolla USD and want to move funds to Mt. Gox? Mt. Gox will not credit your account for that until it is verified. If you instead can trade your Dwolla USD here with someone and obtain a Mt. Gox redeemable code, then you can redeem that code to your Mt. Gox account -- no verification step necessary (unless you were to do something "suspicious", like use Tor).
If you are even more sensitive to privacy, it might be best not to use an exchange at all. Just trade your Dwolla USDs for BTCs directly, here or on #bitcoin-otc marketplace, or LocalBitcoins.com, etc.
i think you answered my question - thanks!
