if anyone is interested i'm cross posting this here:




Auctioning TWO physical silver Cryptonic MONERO coins.

Payment method accepted - Monero (XMR) Only

Starting Bid - 30XMR

Minimum Bid increments - 0.25 XMR

Auction will end on or around March 31st, 2016. There is no specific time the auction will end, so get your bids in early.

Shipping will be paid by the winner - You tell me how you want to ship the coins and cost will be paid in equivalent XMR.

This is the specifications on their website (cryptonic.net):

Update, all pending pools have either upgraded or found a block.

Pools that found a V2 block so far (and are thus safe to mine on):

https://moneropool.com/
http://monero.crypto-pool.fr/
http://dwarfpool.com/xmr
http://xmr.alimabi.cn/
https://minergate.com/pool-stats/mro

http://xmr.prohash.net/#pool_blocks
http://monero.miner.center/#pool_blocks
http://mro.poolto.be/#pool_blocks
http://monero.xminingpool.com/#pool_blocks

Pending (i.e. where on the right version before the fork, but haven't found a block yet):

https://monerohash.com/#pool_blocks
http://minexmr.com/#pool_blocks (found the fork block, but nothing after)
http://xmr.prohash.net/#pool_blocks
http://monero.miner.center/#pool_blocks
http://mro.poolto.be/#pool_blocks (seems offline currently)
http://monero.xminingpool.com/#pool_blocks


Wrong chain (i.e. where on the wrong version before the fork):

http://cryptmonero.com/#pool_blocks <= Botnet probably, see:

Seems to be mainly a botnet: http://fpaste.org/321343/14552121/. Also, reported number of miners seems fake if you compare it to the number of paid miners.

http://cryptonotepool.org.uk/#pool_blocks (indicated they would upgrade though)



If you are on a private pool, please check if your pool is finding blocks after 1009827. Pending pools probably got stuck due to their (custom) pool software. Issue reported by primer-:

What should be done to fix the error?!!!!!

Fix from osensei:

Quote
The error on cryptonote-universal-pool is because of an incompatibility in the node-cryptonote-util library it uses (https://github.com/fancoder/node-cryptonote-util). With some tweaks it can work with the original library by lucasjones (https://github.com/lucasjones/node-cryptonote-util).

On https://monerohash.com, although I'm using cryptonote-universal-pool I made the switch to lucasjones' node-cryptonote-util library some time ago, that's why https://monerohash.com is not affected by that bug.

Alternatively, use:

smooth -- have you tried?
It's not so simple or so easy as you say.
I've done thousands of trades using bots on finex, etc.  This is going back a couple of years.
I hired a professional accountant, who billed himself as conversant in bitcoin, and couldn't do my taxes even with his help.

Yes I've done exactly what I wrote. Download/export the logs, and process with a program or spreadsheet into realized gains/losses. In some cases you might not be able to do this (exchange out of business, etc.), so you do the best you can with the information available.

Quote
It's not a matter of what you started out with and how much you ended up with.

Agree.

btw, in the case of xmr/btc trading, there are no realized gains until you convert to USD, right?

You really need to consult with an expert or research it yourself and come to a conclusion you are comfortable with. This post (link below) suggests that there may not be, assuming you satisfy all the requirements. I'm sure there are others who disagree and different traders, especially in different countries, will likely have different rules.

Making a good luck post here on page 777.  Here's hoping we hit a jackpot on Monero price as more GPU miners turn their attentions towards the network (making us stronger) and more Bitcoin maximalists realize we are an opportunity not seen since the original Blockchain back in 2009, giving us social legitimacy. 
 
The future is bright here in Moonero land.




The boat should be closer to the moon, then you have a space yacht. And everyone should have the goal of a space yacht--what's the point of the moon if you can't cruise around in a space yacht?

I fear too many will lose their monero in terrible terrible space shuttle accidents!  Cry

And we ALL know boats and crypto don't play nice together.

...

In the US, at least, that is most likely incorrect.  Crypto doesn't have to convert to USD to be taxable.  For example, the rules are very clear that mining bitcoin counts as income when the coins are received.  And if you purchase something for crypto, that is also a taxable vent.

And interest on lending, whether margin or otherwise. is income.  So interest from margin lending crypto is most likely is income, you pay taxes on the value received as received, and your basis on the monero received is equal to that value.

It is also the same in Canada. Another example is let us say one sells Bitcoin for Monero, then this would trigger a capital gain or loss on the Bitcoin based on the fair market value of the Bitcoin in Canadian Dollars at the time of the sale.

Such a burdensome accounting regime assures noncompliance.  Which is probably the purpose.

I have made literally thousands of Monero and Bitcoin trades and transactions this year already.  I have no idea how I will go about filing taxes for 2016.  It is absurd that I want to be a legal and tax compliant citizen in this manner, but will be assuredly unable to without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on tax professionals to help me understand and calculate my tax burden.  If I were to try to tabulate it myself I am likely looking at hundreds of hours of work.  
  
This cannot go on like this - I will do my best but the days of crypto being three different forms of assets with unbearable associated tax rules have to end.  

It's not really that big a deal. You download the data and use a spreadsheet or small program to calculate gains and losses.

There is no reason to spend hours and hours manually going through every trade.

Also, consider https://www.tyracpa.com/like-kind-exchange-treatment-crypto-currencies/ though you probably do want to work with a professional on that.

Check out http://bitcoin.tax
It supports altcoins (just pay $19 or whatever for the full version).
Imports from exchanges, etc. Once you learn how to work with it, it's money well spent.
