khersonus: davout: interesting, thanks
jurov: yes i'm supposed to pay VAT once my company oversteps 49k EUR/365 days
davout: the answer is "technically, probably yes, but that's not bitcoin-central's problem"
davout: "should someone on one side of the trade technically pay vat?" <<< you're the first one to actually make this very good comment
davout: VAT applies on our fee, so on 0.59% charged there's a part that goes in the pocket of the motherland
davout: it's your money deposited in EUR, in your name, and you give us a mandate to move it around, the mandate is the trick
khersonus: davout: so if I sell/buy on bitcoin-central, should someone on one side of the trade technically pay vat?
Apocalyptic: they are just providing the service, in exchange for the fee, so the VAT is levied on that
davout: you're mandating us, and pay us to simply shuffle money around these accounts
davout: basically the way it works is that you have an account in BTC
Apocalyptic: on the fees
Apocalyptic: khersonus, it does apply I think
davout: we're simply not counterparty to trades
khersonus: davout: from bitcoin-central TOS "The PLATFORM allows the CUSTOMER to submit TRADE ORDERS for the purchase or sale of Bitcoins" << probably a stupid question, but how does VAT not apply to that?
davout: gotta love the "100% non illegal" thing
davout: kakobrekla: "sounds like some 80' computer company" <<< looks like we don't speak the same english
fluffypony: I'm so sad my S.LIMBS thread got deleted
kakobrekla: davout the only stock you are ipoing is S.LAUGHING !
jurov: kakobrekla: The tax authority distinguishes between bitcoin and Bitcoin. Wow! I'm so proud of there bureaucrats
fluffypony: such technology
fluffypony: "Fein Sender is a part of our mobile app that allows one to display a barcode on your phones screen that anyone can scan using their phone’s camera."
khersonus: davout: true :)
davout: khersonus: if you really want to nitpick you should also add "and not quickly multiply more numbers and broadcast it in such a way that the first broadcast never gets confirmed" :D
fluffypony: that's the kickstarter thing?
gribble: Error: Google says: Response Status 403: Please use Translate v2. See http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html.
kakobrekla: ;;translate slovak english Finančná správa rozlišuje medzi bitcoin a BItcoin. Wow! Som na tých byrokratov tak pyšný
davout: for those who missed feincoin, it's worth the five minutes of your time
khersonus: davout: multiplying some numbers, and broadcasting the tx to the network might be nice too
Apocalyptic: seems like they know a thing or two indeed
Apocalyptic: "Finančná správa rozlišuje medzi bitcoin a BItcoin. Wow! Som na tých byrokratov tak pyšný" heh
jurov: yes, i think too someone somewhere will certainly hell bent to categorize it somewhere
davout: jurov: wait until the tax administration realizes signing a transaction can perfectly be defined as a "service" :D
jurov: no, the statement he cited said that it is neither goods nor service, so the law does not apply
davout: jurov: interdasting, did the guy tell you the govt actually, and voluntarily simply said "oh ok, we'll waive the tax for you" ?
Apocalyptic: if you want to visit Dubai, you have to apply for a visa where retinal scan is in order
kakobrekla: >I found a way to generate Bitcoins even faster then every Miner, in a legal way. the Methode i use whas checked by local Lawyer and is 100% non illegal.
Apocalyptic: <fluffypony> I don't know if the Bitcoin ATMs being dropped into Dubai will have lal this AML crap // lol
jurov: but my tax advisor threw quite a fit upon seeing that
jurov: indeed, dude who owns bitcoin atm here got some official statement that VAT does not apply,
davout: god help them
fluffypony: I don't know if the Bitcoin ATMs being dropped into Dubai will have lal this AML crap
davout: fluffypony: the US has the advantage of not having VAT, that's why coinbase can work the way it does, and that bitcoin ATMs are actually safer to setup there than in europe
fluffypony: either way, most of the Bitcoin ATM reviews I've read have been US-centric
davout: fluffypony: bear in mind that i'm not really competent when it comes to regulation in the US, my field of expertise is regulation in europe
fluffypony: davout: that's why I said "eg"
davout: fluffypony: is bitcoin defined in the "precious Metals, Stones, or Jewels" category? i believe not
fluffypony: personally I think it's just a silly way of trying to promote adoption, it's more inconvenient to use than convenient
davout: khersonus: no i should absolutely not, because as far as I know european VAT applies on the full amount of sales unless stated otherwise
kakobrekla: imo i dont hink btc atm will catch on on the long run
fluffypony: in the US they apply the "everything is bad, here are some exceptions" policy
fluffypony: that insist on AML being applied if you're providing a cash dispensing business, with specific exemptions for things like registered pawnbrokers
davout: but that's usually very clearly laid out in the law
fluffypony: but in the nanny state there's a whole bunch of FinCEN crap around this (eg. http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/faq060305.html)
fluffypony: outside of the US, sure
davout: the fact that "it's ripe for ML" is in no way relevant, the machine is not "dispensing cash", it could be automatically buying apples from you
kakobrekla: btc atm could be considered as otc trading no?
davout: when you buy and sell X, you buy and sell X, as long as X is not defined as a financial instrument, (or a precious metal in some countries) there is no reason for KYC/AML to apply
davout: fluffypony: nah, that's when you store fiat on behalf of third parties
fluffypony: the compliance is wrt the fiat being padi
fluffypony: if it pays out in fiat the legal definition of Bitcoin is irrelevant, no?
davout: in other words a bitcoin ATM is by no means different than any other vending machine
jurov: and shown in the btc account history
davout: khersonus: my point is that the legal requirements are imaginary since bitcoin is nowhere legally defined as money
jurov: <peterl> jurov: how do coinbr refferals get paid? << it is added monthly, usually just after the monthly fee
khersonus: it's normally AML/KYC stuff that causes problems for bitcoin<->cash machines
davout: pankkake: "Given the various legal requirements, the new model will be equipped with a fingerprint scanner and a security camera." <<< wonder what legal requirements they're referring to
fluffypony: where they try dox you
fluffypony: the thread he links to is hilarious
pankkake: and yet I've only commented on a few of his offerings, only to provide a link to a scam accusation or something
fluffypony: so it looks like BitcoinBourse think that you've been paid to troll them
ozbot: BitcoinBourse: the biggest scam in Bitcoin securities today
Apocalyptic: nvm then
pankkake: "Given the various legal requirements, the new model will be equipped with a fingerprint scanner and a security camera."
mircea_popescu: so basically collins-rector has a harem too, except of [ex]little boys, among which brock pierce, whom he keeps pushing into bitcoin nonsense.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic lol i gotta love phins' footwork. ask him to come over will you ?
ozbot: Gold-farming empire linked to dot-com child abuse scandal - Boing Boing
mircea_popescu: http://boingboing.net/2007/11/15/goldfarming-empire-l.html seems to be the better source actually.
mircea_popescu: Digital Entertainment Network happens to be the bankrupt venture of the brock pierce guy who is the purported owner that was going to buy the techno music brand some kid was pitching earlier in chan
mircea_popescu: "There is a convergence between WeHo pedos; some might recall the 1998 web series Chad's World which was essentially a bunch of 30-something pedos creating a project to lure boys to Hollywood with promises of becoming stars in exchange for "work" they would do while living with various members of this group of 30-something pedos. "
Apocalyptic: no idea, I got a link to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=590970.0
pigeons: whats this about gox to reopen in pattaya with new ownership?
pigeons: just explosives in the mail
pigeons: don't think so
Apocalyptic: is Ver notorious for doing that nao ?
Apocalyptic: re that accusation
pigeons: apparently there was some sort of recording that got an indictment, and "too many little boys for everything to be right", but not enough evidence to move forward after that
pigeons: yeah thats what i was trying to correct
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.72386476 BTC to 8`667 shares, 31428 satoshi per share

Apocalyptic: <Kelticfox> The Foundation really doesnt give a fuck about BTC does it?
Apocalyptic: Kelticfox> interesting... the person trying to buy Gox (and just added to the Foundation) is a convicted child molester
mircea_popescu: kinda why poor people are so universally despised : they say that which they figure may best serve.
mircea_popescu: the lower class CLAIMS my arrogance is the problem. but this is merely what they imagine would make a convincing scapegoat.
mircea_popescu: benkay notice that the overall effect was exactly the same.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> skinnkavaj on the strength of that answer i humbly submit // well that's a first
