Not only that, but the US government is basically going to have to make the argument that gambling with fake money is somehow illegal, and if that's the case, well, they better go after all of those online MMORPG's that have ways players can gamble fake money.

This is a very good point; however I don't really want to be the one to test that in the courts Wink

The courts are not about justice, you already break enough laws every day to be put in jail for years.

My guess is that they would start looking at the income (my income) and having me justify it or seize that, saying that it was part of a criminal enterprise.

It would be foolish to convert too much of the Bitcoins to USD, I would keep them out of the US, and build things outside of their jurisdiction. Cash out enough to live off of and pay all applicable taxes on that.

But for everything else? Build out in a more sane country with the remaining resources.

You might want to add a disclaimer that these are your opinions.

I am quite certain that everyone already understands that posts on an internet board are mostly all, opinion. It would be redundant to have such a disclaimer.

I will add the disclaimer that this probably isn't very good advice.

I will also add that SatoshiDICE does not use the web for its gambling platform. I can play SatoshiDICE without ever touching their web site or connecting to their servers. Because of Bitcoin's architecture, it is not technically possible for SatoshiDICE to detect where I am wagering from.

Not if you're using a VPN, or logging into a dedicated server located in a remote country and wagering from there.

By the way, federal anti-gambling laws in the United States are unconstitutional, especially since its legal for some people, while illegal for others. Think of it this way, say lobbyists from Las Vegas lobbied the federal government to make certain kinds of gambling illegal, unless the states had laws legalizing it prior to the federal law.

Sounds like a protection racket to me, and you guessed it, unconstitutional. The federal government can't pass a law that bans states other than Florida from growing oranges.
