no news on bitcoinbuilder.com - still legit ?

[4tan]

hello,
first of all  i am fairly new to bitcoin. I do understand the debate between btc and bu, if when why(not) there will be a (hard) fork etc etc.

My question tho: I got a few mBTC through, gained through some gaming stored in my bitcoinbuilder.com wallet. Before I am able to sell/buy/transfer any of it I need to be verified - which as I understand is the law (and probably makes sense). Now when i try to find any information about bitcoinbuilder.com and if it is legit i only see it associated to news about MTGox and that Josh was/is buying bitcoins held at mtgox. Most posts are 1-3 years old. I cant find any never infos about bitcoinbuilder.com not here nor anywhere else.


I found this posts here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67835.0 but not much more.


Is anyone using it/ got verified and trust them to not misuse your (personal) data? I appreciate any answer and help even in case that this question is to "newbie-ish" for some of you.

anyway thx


p.s. hope that the right forum to post this question

Thanks @ mocacinno

I have searched and found those topics but the key point is: all answers are fairly old ... 2012-2015 ish ... This is why i am asking (again)

thx

I am not familiar with them and never heard a single word about them before. I will suggest you to use quite well known web wallets like coinbase, blockchain.info etc if you want to quickly buy/sell/store your bitcoin. But perfect way to store your bitcoin is to use either hardware wallet or paper wallet.

thanks for your answer. Yeah i got most of my coins stored in a hardware(offline) wallet and a bit in electrum
The thing is that i got some mBTC for free in the early days, which have been send/stored at bitcoinbuilder.com BUT in order to send them to another wallet I have to get verified. I cant get them out without getting verified .... but do I want to give my details to a page i dont know ? That is the question I hope someone reads it/ can help who is/was using bitcoinbuilder

cheers
