Entertain us all with how much invested when you “got in at $8600”. Everybody in here talks about investing money here n there and chirping up “riding it out” “dumping everything” and for some reason I just picture some dilberts on here spending $42 and thinking they’re the new wolf on wall street when they make an .08ct profit.

Im not really interested in the whole crypto coin deal but while im not using my two desktops ive got them mining. So far its looking like its pulling in $150 a month after considering the extra power consumption. ive got both cards down clocked a bit and since they are watercooled its not causing much extra wear on the cards. IIRC while mining the GPU is staying around 30-32c under full load which is not bad at all

jesus dude, what cards do you have? mine idle at that temp

My Main PC is an old Maxwell Titan X which mines like crap, Simracing PC is a 1080ti. Both Systems have a custom loop water cooling which is the biggest help.

 

Main Pc has a dedicated 560mm rad in push/pull configuration. Sim pc has two 240mm thin radiators which are shared between the GPU and CPU.

Sim setup, This is before it was filled with water but you get the point. This system was built for silent computing and GPU power to run 3x 1440P monitors at 144hz.

I got in before the jump got out at $11,200 with more than 2 coins to rub together, made a handsome profit that put me in the crosshairs as soon as the IRS said hey... wait a second!

 

Currently have the initial investment back where it was, some of the profit money is riding the waves while the rest is paying for my next engine build.

Curious about this, what makes you bring the IRS thing up??? Because more than 20k was made via coinbase???? And they auto report it???

 

I've been curious as far as how people are dealing with tax things when it comes to this stuff.....

Any cash transaction over 10k gets reported to the IRS. That's a generic banking rule that coinbase has to follow. Everyone technically needs to pay taxes on crypto gains but if you withdraw over 10k you can't forget.

Any transaction of $10,000 or more (cash/check deposit, transfer, withdrawal, currency exchange) will be reported to FinCEN by your bank with or without your knowledge. It is to track and prevent potential money laundering activity.

 

Any CASH deposit, as you said, is automatically reported to the IRS. From my understanding, a wire or electronic transfer of funds of $10k or more is not reported to the IRS. I assume Coinbase isn't mailing you or your bank $10k in cash so it is most likely not being automatically reported to the IRS.

Kinda hoping this craze dies down before I'm ready to build a new PC. Video card prices are just stupid right now.

FYI, If you build a PC at microcenter and buy a CPU and Motherboard they will drop the price of the GPU back to the original MSRP for you.

Limit one per person and the kid with the pony tail (who mines as well) is a total dick about it.

This is absolutely true, but as long as the money isn't repatrioted you can avoid that conversation with the IRS typically. However with things like..

Coming out right after the surge we saw to the first breaking of the $10,000 ceiling it's only a matter of time until they are going after the records from everyone who enjoyed that 2 month feeding frenzy.

So if I go deposit $1700 in cash into my checking account, the bank reports that to the IRS?

You've never deposited or taken 10k out of a bank?

 

They always make you fill out that form.

 

I know, it's such a pain. I'm always like, "Look, I need to buy this crate of magnum condoms to keep on my yacht for all the super models coming to my party this weekend, just give me my money."
