Wow. Bitcoin is almost $1,500

Dude... you gotta keep that Nimiq mining info under wraps for a few weeks until we earn a small horde of it. You're just going to drive up the difficulty for everyone

If this stuff becomes popular, so you know that someone will write a GPU miner for it, and we'll be competing with the Ethereum miners to make a pathetic $2 a day with our video cards again.

Wow- that's breathtaking!!!!

Gracias.

The Redditors would tell you that the reason you don't have a LAMBO in that picture is that you didn't HODL the crapcoin they were pumping like they told you to do

I do need some more LAMBO in my life.

Tell me more about the Nimiq stuff

seriously, you can't just drop that in here and then leave.

It doesn't come out for another three days, and I would surprised if the site didn't crash under the load on launch day.

Atotcoin is available now, though. You just need to ask for some!

Wow. Crypto had quite the night.

Wow. Crypto had quite the night.

I've been discouraged by the entire 2018 bearish market, I kinda stopped looking and just hodling.

I just looked it up. Meh.

Wake me up when btc reaches 13k at least and VET breaks 4.50.

Just when it breaks 4.50 that's when 'normal' just starts.

When it gets $6 I'll start to think about maybe getting excited.

...and ETH back < $500. The FOMO is hard to resist.

...and ETH back < $500. The FOMO is hard to resist.

For me, the FOGTZ (Fear Of Going To Zero) is bigger than the FOMO when it comes to Ethereum.

Oh... I tried mining some Nimiq on launch day, and look at that... the site isn't working. The account "safe" page doesn't work, and neither does the mining page. It doesn't seem that any of these cryptojokers know how to properly load test a web site before launching it.

This is why we should all get behind Atotcoin instead... no mining, no problems!

I would guess, even hope, that you meant this post as a joke, but begging is verboten here, and so, in an abundance of caution, I have edited out the most pointed parts of your "joke."

Yea otherwise it becomes a slippery slope, very dangerous for atot

I created an atot coin address that involved spelling out leet boobs... it was a joke, but I why we don't do begging (even as a joke) here.

Yeah, that wasn't a valid address. I didn't really got the joke, though.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

If the word leet boobs in an address isn't funny in and of itself, then I can't really help.

Note "LawlzIamStuckInTheBlockChainLawlz" is also legitimate address.

DixyCrat has never been funny on this forum. I doubt the post was a joke.

Finally finished doing tax for this crypto basically doing this.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7tdkln/bitcointax_and_turbotax/

What a pain. It imported all my crap nicely, but actual filing paperwork totally omits what exchange I used. It's just bunch of ETH & BTC values with dates & prices.

I guess IRS probably has their info to cross check this? But how?? They gonna run my checking account to see that I made deposits to Coinbase and check that with Coinbase database which IRS obtained from them few week ago in the news?

What a sh*tshow.


I owe nothing by end of 2017 from crypto capital gains. 2018 is where all the fun is though. Ugh.

it's basically not a problem until you get in an audit. I mean how could they possibly have info on miners? They don't.

I certainly gave my social security number to NO ONE for my crypto stuff.

Anyone mining Nimiq?

I've been using my GPUs to mine some PC games.

Nimiq is CPU only, no GPU impact.

I didn't bother with any tax stuff, but I avoided doing any trading back and forth, I think they watch that more closely than mining. I asked my tax person about crypto and she did not even know what it was. If it was important enough she would have been notified about rule changes etc as she gets notices from the government whenever there are new things.

If they're going to tax it they should make it simpler and fairer. Don't tax mining, don't tax trades, only tax when you deposit it to your bank. That way at least you would not end up losing money through taxes if you do a lot of small trades. Easiest bet would be to tax when it gets deposited to your actual bank account from the exchange. They should also automate this process.

From what I gather they only really go after big time miners so I think I'm ok. If they really started to give me trouble I'd just register as a business so I can write off my hardware as a loss. If they want to be crooks then I'll play the system too. It technically would not be wrong. My whole server room can technically be considered as being dedicated to mine even if I just have 2 GPUs.
