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. And now it's ready to launch!

Advantages of this over using this thread:

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 any 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, and you know, just to be super safe!

So, go check it out! I hope it makes sense and you find it useful. It seems to me like it should be somewhat at least!

Thanks,
josh!

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.

Does anyone know if this will work for unverified accounts? (I am _not_ going to let them extort a pile of my personal info just to free my BTC!)

Well, before, you didn't need to be verified to transfer Bitcoins in and out. I didn't hear otherwise, and I guess they are busy with other things now instead of changing KYC games..
You should be all fine.
