Hi kotarius,

Any news or updates regarding adding alerts to ethos?

ethos is a great tool!

None of this addresses my question....which specifically asks about the tax implications for U.S. citizens who are trying to comply with tax laws. 

https://poloniex.com/support/aboutMarginTrading/

U.S. Based.

I've looked all over the net to try to find a discussion revolving around those who loan their bitcoins to other exchange members who then use them to margin trade.  (Poloniex, for example.)

I did find one guy who claims that all he does is report his bitcoin interest as income.  I think that's a recipe for disaster. 

When I look at the lending reports I get from Poloniex, I realize that there is no way to properly account for my lending activities.  Why?  Because in the U.S., bitcoin is property - which means - each loan is a swap.  Therefore, you have to keep track of bitcoin's price at loan origination and bitcoin's price at loan's end.  Poloniex only publishes the end of the lend information.  No idea when certain coins were lent and for how long.   How do you do account for this when you can generate 100's of loan transactions in one day on Poloniex?

Also!  The elephant in the room is this:  You can't possibly make any type of return if you are loaning out your coins when the price is rising.

Loan 10 bitcoins @ 400 per bitcoin.  Loan is out for 2 days.  2 days later you get your 10 bitcoins back plus .01 bitcoins in interest.  However, bitcoin could be at $430 at the end of your loan. You've just created a capital gains event of over $300 while making only $4.30 in interest!

Am I wrong?  Thoughts?  Let's discuss!

Same here.   Just did two Test Mastercoin transactions and one real Mastercoin transaction.  Received info that it was sent and was given a transaction number to check on blockchain.  All transactions come back as "transaction not found."

I'm thinking that since zackclark70 has been doing the heavy lifting on this (and spending his own funds) that he should be compensated via a premine allocation. 

I vote for that.  I have many, many ADT coins stuck in two transactions that have gotten 0 confirms. 

I deposited QRK about two hours ago.  QRK is not giving me confirmations...so my transaction is stuck.  Interesting....

When "wall street" finally gets into the bitcoin game, you will see Bitcoin over $50,000 in a blink of an eye. 

When the MSM begins acknowledging (in the future) that Bitcoin's daily transaction volume and currency volume is getting
close to major credit card companies, we should see $100,000 per bitcoin.

mBTC at $100 will be the norm.

Yes, Cryptsy withdrawals and deposits of ADT are happening *fast now.  Good news.

I don't think the Bitcoin naysayers understand the massive financial/currency/asset markets that exist *now. 

In real terms, Bitcoin has not even dipped its tiny toe into the global financial pool.  When it does, you'll be
kicking yourself at how cheap $600 per Bitcoin was.  Bitcoin will probably be trading as mBTC and one millibitcoin
will be worth $100.00.



   

In for order #557

I assume you will use the same sending address as our payout address?    Or, is/will there be a way to change our payouts to different wallets for different orders?

Thanks!

Good to know!  I will now cringe less while mining (WDC & DGC) on MultiPool!

I was thinking the same thing.  I always cringe when we start mining WDC or DGC - stales are so high - and most of the time mining any other coin will result in much better results.

Very nice pool!  Do you have plans to add a "stalled worker" notification?  I miss that greatly.

Coinbase.com may be a good option.
