the site is not down
but you cannot log in,

it redirects you to the FAQ page
where it explains the situation and asks to click
"I agree" for accepting the risk and continue to the site 

but then nothing...



Make sure you're already logged in, on the FAQ page, tick the box, remove 's' from 'https' in the URL for the 'agree, take me to bitcoinbuilder' and you'll be logged in.

thanks that worked

ok thx for this infos! ANy news on bitocinbuilder! Site is down for ma also!

Only i can seee the faq and then i should accept the terms to get to site! But iam redirected to the agree.php page and thsi is 404 page!
Its really annoying... any ideas!?

c

I managed to get past the form.
The site (or Cloudflare) apparently uses cookies and/or IP to keep us logged in. Removing cookies didn't solve the issue.
I used another PC (in my case via Teamviewer with a PC from someone else at a different IP) to login FOR THE FIRST TIME.
This worked for me...

After getting the "normal" home-screen again you can switch back to your own PC.


this worked for me ! Really thx for this tipp

Trade "Real" BTC and "Gox" BTC - [Follow @BTCBLDR for announcements!] - FAQ

    Update: 2014-02-26. Warning: mtgox is currently down and there are copious news articles reporting that they are insolvent.
    Although GOXBTC on bitcoinbuilder may still be traded, the chances that they will ever be made whole are likely slim to none.
    Trade for them at your own risk! (2% fee per trade.)

Why do you say it's down???

cause i can't login so for me its not possible to login! Its like site is off isn't it?

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Mark Karples owned that also!  Huh

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-automatic-mtgox-investing-with-bitcoinbuildercom-67835

lots of replies from users who have traded with them for so long yet this is their first post.....interesting

I think I will give it a miss, until I at least know about the directors background (which doesn't look like is going to happen any day soon), I sincerely think its the same people as OKPAY/Nikolay Rozhok/Mayzus Financial Services Ltd et. al

The problem is it looks like they are setting themselves up to do a runner, and the day I let myself get ripped off by russian mafia will never come which is certainly what the whole setup looks like. A fool and his money soon parts....

Too many bad reports, thousands in fact on this forum, unbelievable that they haven't been asked to show who they are. Watch the Troll Box on their website, every five or ten minutes someone's complaining about no replies to tickets and missing BTC/USD etc...

Add another one to your list.

Sad I lost 7 BTC but I don't regret my gamble.

Amazing that they managed to lose 750k coins. The mind boggles.

It's online and I just received some "real" Bitcoins I was able to trade before Mt.Gox died.

Too bad it didn't seem profitable and/or urgent enough to get everything out ASAP...  Undecided
