burnside: So yes, I will be reporting any profit on any crypto that I convert to USD.
burnside: For me personally, I have to approach taxes from the US gov't.
burnside: you have to keep in mind that for BTC Trading Co, I have to approach taxes from the perspective of the Belize gov't.
Ukto: you can get that value easily, by taking the amounts held back and converted to currency
Ukto: that with your businesses taxes, as an expense of sorts
Ukto: and you are supposed to declare
Ukto: when you give out a commodity to people
Ukto: i think you may have covered in the tax stuff with gigamining you said

burnside: well, there's right now. there's tomorrow. there's next month. next year. and 4.5 years from now. which do you want?
Ukto: So I was confused by that
Ukto: "Further, we are not exchanging virtual goods for real currency. So there is no exposure there either. The company does not profit in currency. "
Ukto: you said the company does not profit in currency
burnside: We will have to show a profit in 5 years, but that becomes an exercise to tackle in year 4.5.
burnside: Since the company itself will only be converting enough commodities to cover costs, I'm not super worried about it.
Ukto: most countries require that a company has to show actual profits (Sometimes of amounts) within X years, or they shut down the corp and deem it as a hobby
burnside: not sure what the tax rate is.
burnside: I do have to file annual tax returns
Ukto: Although, wont Belize shut the corporation down eventually? Or is it a non profit?

nanotube: mircea_popescu: yea the signed message bit could use some foolproofing.
mircea_popescu: nanotube but yes it's why i've never used that method, only ;;eauth
mircea_popescu: this way a merchant would be pretty boneheaded to allow it. in conjunction with a "To be used exclusively on Y" it should do the trick.
mircea_popescu: the simplest solution would maybe adding text reading : This not valid past X date, where X is maybe 24 hoursi n the future
mircea_popescu: o i c what you did there.
kakobrekla: noone can do a serious dent in the book

kakobrekla: he is here i think
mircea_popescu: i don't think his legal advice is very good.
mircea_popescu: Berlin (Germany) - A German man became so frustrated at his computer that he threw it out of his window, and the police reaction was essentially "we understand".

Ukto: when you compare their behaviours and actions side by side
mircea_popescu: “Tubes are going to destroy our industry,” says Sunny Leone, 29, an Indian-American knockout who is celebrating eight nominations this evening. “Fans don’t understand that if they don’t pay for porn, we can’t make a living. They’ll have to watch crazy European porn.”
Ukto: and I was just pointing out they are very different animals
Ukto: i think he was trying to justify his sites as the same as wow and secondlife
Ukto: I try to though
Ukto: alright lets go with that then :P
mircea_popescu: i'm just trying to see what you're sasying.
mircea_popescu: im not sure that you are
Ukto: i think that is where my confusion is comming from. :)
mircea_popescu: okay. well then...
mircea_popescu: you seen the this http://trilema.com/2012/the-reasons-why-bitcoin-securities-cant-be-regulated-by-the-sec/ ?
Ukto: burnside can not claim BTC has no value (which is being traded for virtually realistic shares of his real corporation)
mircea_popescu: the reason wow makes the claim it doesn't is because by not making it they'd claim the opposite
Ukto: at that. :)
mircea_popescu: Ukto nobody has the authority to make such claims in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: whaty wouyld the devs matter
midnightmagic: .. thinking about it, it would be the quickest way to convince me to exit bitcoin.
midnightmagic: HAH "Even more, he was paying himself for the time that was required to pay himself"
Ukto: and contridicting the whole thing
Ukto: the biggest issue is just that hes trading actual corporate stock on his 'fake' site
Ukto: mircea_popescu: except that the games claims to have no monetary value, wheras his site does not claim bitcoins have no monetary value.
mircea_popescu: omg wtf is tumblr gone from the tubes ?!
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: "II.2. The Rota supersedes the jurisdiction of any other court, institution, group, organisation, corporation, reigning monarch, city fool etc." :-)
mircea_popescu: Ukto i don't think your arguments carry any water.
midnightmagic: Rota? I don't think so.
midnightmagic: Something about the nature of small-time thieves bothers me more than the pirate scam thing does.
mircea_popescu: you seen that midnightmagic ?
