<frogmindset:matrix.org> i just had a thought, do i have to pay tax when i mine monero?

<frogmindset:matrix.org> im not sure how crypto mining is taxed

<moneroni:matrix.org> @frogmindset:matrix.org: if you dont get caught

In my country you tax mining as hobby income (after the limit it taxes as same rate as income)

You however don't have to charge VAT for the transactions

For most non business levels it's set at something like $300 a year tax free

Fun part, power usage is a deductible on that income

<octagonsupreme:matrix.org> So there is no reason not to mine if power usage is deductible and can thereby lower my tax. > <DataHoarder> In my country you tax mining as hobby income (after the limit it taxes as same rate as income)

Well. If you are making a profit lol

Hardware depreciation also counts on that

If not doing profit, well, at least you can deduct most of it :)

<octagonsupreme:matrix.org> If I start a sole proprietorship (DBA) or if it has a different name in another country. It can lower my personal taxes.

<stnby:kernal.eu> Another crypto stealer targeting XMR devs including us.

<stnby:kernal.eu> news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46148305

<gan:skhron.org> I'd expect a dev to be better than to fall to the scam that requests installation of external software personally, to not mention this:

<gan:skhron.org> > The sender used report⊙gmxc to impersonate GitHub infrastructure and the contact email sz2994025⊙gc listed "Laplas Hao" as the developer.

<gan:skhron.org> implying impersonation is a bit strong to be honest

I got the impression that absolutely anyone might fall for a scam, depends on under what conditions...

<gan:skhron.org> I reckon, that'd require prior injection of fentanyl before considering it as legit

<plowsof:matrix.org> Laplas' email landed my spam folder, nov20th and 25th

<stnby:kernal.eu> Based on the numbers of extension installs. My guess is your average Twitter crypto bro would fall for this.

<basses:matrix.org> would fall for anything

<basses:matrix.org> @stnby:kernal.eu btw, contact us button banner at end of article doesn't change cursor to pointer, also has no effect when hover

<gan:skhron.org> "Fools and their money are soon parted"

<basses:matrix.org> same with engage us in homepage

<basses:matrix.org> also rastersec.com/_nuxt/band2.BXAxRKY8.png is useless when page is dark theme, contrast very bad

Like, your bar of "obvious scam" is different when you're under extreme stress

<gan:skhron.org> Never got scammed in my life, despite having plenty of stress

<gan:skhron.org> anyway, anyone seriously using email for communication should use PGP, and a proper email client with trust features

<gan:skhron.org> a reminder that either rspamd or spamassassin could be ran locally

<stnby:kernal.eu> @basses:matrix.org: Thanks, the site is still very much a WIP. Need to improve hover colors especially

My point was that one should not have the "I am too smart to be scammed ever" mindset.

<gan:skhron.org> Works fine for me so far

<gan:skhron.org> Good luck scamming me over email when I use only PGP and set priority for service mail addresses

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Good luck scamming me over email when i dont read emails

<gan:skhron.org> What to say, based?

Why would anyone install some random browser extension from a spam e-mail?

<basses:matrix.org> promised me 9999999xmr

Yeah, this is full of red flags - I just took issue in the apparent mindset.

they should just upload a closed source binary and tell people it will tripple their hashes like everyone else

<gan:skhron.org> BlueyHealer: There's a huge different between just the mindset and doing nothing or actively caring enough to protect one's self

Education I feel like is lacking too

<gan:skhron.org> Users of Roundcube should be struck from the orbit in my view 🧌

<gan:skhron.org> BlueyHealer: Education's not gonna solve anything if the subject doesn't want to be educated to begin with. personally I've learned most the stuff that I know in a completely self-taught manner

<norvegan:nope.chat> True education begins the moment you unlearn everything they taught you.

<321bob321> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Auto mark as read ?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Nope!
