Duffer1: i think if 113+ can be sustained for the next day or so we'll see bitstamp/campbx come up to 105ish
taub: but that has yet to happen
taub: yea but the discrepancy hasn't been this strong, especially if one ends up breaking out above and the other below
pankkake: nothing bizarre about it. it's the only way to get usd out of mtgox

ozbot: The theory behind the alternative EVE corporation pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
bobbabad_: but I find it interesting to know what other people are doing, and with the face to face market of selling and buying bitcoins seems to be increasing
bobbabad_: for sure.. I will, its not worth the gamble for me not to
matuszed: Just pay your taxes people its good for Bitcoin in the en
matuszed: At least in the US and I assume Canada the burden is on the taxpayer to report
matuszed: I mean if you sold youre computer for cash the irs or eq wouldnt find out either
bobbabad_: I mean sure, I wired money to the currency exchange so that transaction is recorded in my bank.. But other then that, if I were to sell bitcoins in cash (not saying I plan to) then how could the IRS or eq find out
bobbabad_: with bitcoin it just seems so easy to cheat the system.. it being an unregulated as it is
mircea_popescu: i mean if you suddenly felt ill you wouldn't be asking random people in the street what they thought you should take
bobbabad_: mircea_popescu, makes sense.. Im in Canada, but Im gonna start looking for something like that
bobbabad_: matuszed make sense.. would be nice if I can find a good accountant that understand a bit of in and out of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: bobbabad_ for simplicity sake the best move is to consult a tax specialist
matuszed: Also keep an eye on the legislature because they may change the reporting in the near future
matuszed: No worries. Like i said though its worth it to get an accountant
bobbabad_: thank you for clarifying that
bobbabad_: yeah for sure, Im thinking about doing that... I dont want to risk screwing it up since I never had to deal with it before
bobbabad_: so, is it correct that I dont need to worry too much about the inidivudal day trading Ive been doing and can just group it to one thing, i.e, bought 5k worth of bitcoins and then later sold 15k worth of bitcoin, capital gain is 10k
matuszed: IF you've made sizable amounts you're better off gettting an accountant to do the taxes for you for this
matuszed: you dont pay tax till you sell it
matuszed: if you buy a stock at 1$ and it goes to 5$
matuszed: You havent technically made anything
bobbabad_: so you dont have to pay tax until to convert it to fiat then
matuszed: you havent realized the gain
matuszed: You have to pay short term capital gains tax on the 10K if you now have 15K in cash
Duffer1: everytime you convert to fiat
bobbabad_: so for simplicity, lets say I wired 5k to mtgox, bought bitcoins, transfered that to btct, trippled my investment.. is it enough to play capital gain tax on that 10k I gained or do I need to do it on a per trade kind of thing?
bobbabad_: true true
Duffer1: pay your taxes, failing to do that will just make regulation even more invasive
matuszed: or you're gambling with the irs
matuszed: you best be paying tax
matuszed: You can say what you want but when you flip your btc to fiat
matuszed: You still gotta pay tax on it
bobbabad_: are you guys bothering/dealing with capital gain tax? it is risky try to not to? let's say I decide to sell my bitcoin face to face instead
Karsy: Activemining hitting 0.007 today
taub: is anyone trading on mpex anymore?
gecko_x2: it used to be 25 shares ask and bid
gecko_x2: 30 shares at a time
gecko_x2: just wanted to take it out on you huys :)
pankkake: btct provides the info. not sure about others
mircea_popescu: if that's it just go to camwhores.com
gecko_x2: just something fun to watch
gecko_x2: i didn't mean for the script to be the ultimate harbinger of global trade flows
mircea_popescu: not quite the same thing.
gecko_x2: well the same way you do [+] and [-]
mircea_popescu: gezuz the amount of spam coming out iof china
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: that's an execellent question, and I don't think there is an answer.
gecko_x2: and then thank me for the pleasure of pleasing me
gecko_x2: i wan YOU to do it for me
gecko_x2: i'm too fucking old for that shit, i'm busy drinking beer
thestringpuller: and I thought I was fucking lazy
pankkake: write it then
gecko_x2: i want a fucking script that does that for me
thestringpuller: just run grep on the logs
gecko_x2: both in individual transaction terms regardless of btc amount, and in btc amount
gecko_x2: how about a script that would keep tabs on the amount of sells vs. buys in a day
mircea_popescu: so perhaps you're speaking the future here.
gecko_x2: well they are shipping something
mircea_popescu: but anyway, by now they could easily list on teh scamexchange.
mircea_popescu: cause they're a scam ?
gecko_x2: didn't know that
mircea_popescu: gecko_x2 originally mpex wouldn't have them, meanwhile i have no idea why.
Diablo-D3: because they're not a public company
gecko_x2: why isn't BFF trading btc denominated shares
mircea_popescu: please donate to vessenes for seats on the board.
mircea_popescu: also bfl and mtgox are going to join forces and create the magnificent, representative, relevant and important
Diablo-D3: take it to a different channel
Diablo-D3: I dont want to hear about bfl in here anymore
mircea_popescu: i usually fail at that.
gecko_x2: forgot them
gecko_x2: knowing their history, i can't see how bfl would make this delivery date claim unless they were pretty fucking sure it's viable
mircea_popescu: or wait, was that avalon
Diablo-D3: the reason gpus are such a bitch to cool is because not enough surface area
mircea_popescu: im sure it's going to be all hotglued in place
Diablo-D3: a bunch of little chips all over the board
Diablo-D3: basically what BFL is not going to do because they're never going to make this is
Diablo-D3: its why I dont bother posting there outside of the dmc thread anymore
Diablo-D3: gecko_x2: never listen to the forum
Diablo-D3: gpus have all the heat coming out of one or two chips
gecko_x2: Diablo-D3 just a quote from the forum
Diablo-D3: 350w puts it in the realm of a dual gpu card
mircea_popescu: i read that to be "under 350"
Diablo-D3: wtf that card is 350w?
gecko_x2: " That cooling solution doesn't work for a 350W TDP card. Even a GTX Titan/780 has a great vapor chamber cooler and it's a 250W TDP GPU."
mircea_popescu: as they get really butthurt and break out the Idiot Interneteer Psychology Manual
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: Im just tired of hearing it to be honest
mircea_popescu: no time was saved, but who cares about wasting imaginary money.
mircea_popescu: chief among their "previous mistakes", the "mistake" of claiming to burn a batch that wasn't actually proofed to "Save time".
mircea_popescu: problem is, he's dead. so are they.
Diablo-D3: I would actually buy a card like that
frb: If they actually were mistakes, and not just a scam.
kakobrekla: thats what they argue
gecko_x2: one could argue that bfl has had the opportunity to garner alot of know-how due to their previous mistakes
mircea_popescu: like this is the 3rd or w/e.
mircea_popescu: they'll have yet another "update" to "upgrade" to.
