i just had a thought, do i have to pay tax when i mine monero?
01:03:56
frogmindset:matrix.org:
im not sure how crypto mining is taxed
01:24:08
moneroni:matrix.org:
@frogmindset:matrix.org: if you dont get caught
01:24:14
DataHoarder:
In my country you tax mining as hobby income (after the limit it taxes as same rate as income)
01:24:35
DataHoarder:
You however don't have to charge VAT for the transactions
01:25:04
DataHoarder:
For most non business levels it's set at something like $300 a year tax free
01:25:20
DataHoarder:
Fun part, power usage is a deductible on that income
01:46:17
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)
01:46:37
DataHoarder:
Well. If you are making a profit lol
01:46:48
DataHoarder:
Hardware depreciation also counts on that
01:47:10
DataHoarder:
If not doing profit, well, at least you can deduct most of it :)
01:54:42
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.

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:
15:10:39
gan:skhron.org:
> The sender used report@github.mail.xiaokesoso.com to impersonate GitHub infrastructure and the contact email sz2994025@gmail.com listed "Laplas Hao" as the developer.
15:10:39
gan:skhron.org:
implying impersonation is a bit strong to be honest
15:12:07
BlueyHealer:
I got the impression that absolutely anyone might fall for a scam, depends on under what conditions...
15:14:58
gan:skhron.org:
I reckon, that'd require prior injection of fentanyl before considering it as legit
15:17:12
plowsof:matrix.org:
Laplas' email landed my spam folder, nov20th and 25th
15:17:48
stnby:kernal.eu:
Based on the numbers of extension installs. My guess is your average Twitter crypto bro would fall for this.
15:18:12
basses:matrix.org:
would fall for anything

also https://www.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
15:22:56
gan:skhron.org:
Never got scammed in my life, despite having plenty of stress
15:23:51
gan:skhron.org:
anyway, anyone seriously using email for communication should use PGP, and a proper email client with trust features
15:24:48
gan:skhron.org:
a reminder that either rspamd or spamassassin could be ran locally

@basses:matrix.org: Thanks, the site is still very much a WIP. Need to improve hover colors especially
15:49:34
BlueyHealer:
My point was that one should not have the "I am too smart to be scammed ever" mindset.
15:50:53
gan:skhron.org:
Works fine for me so far
15:52:14
gan:skhron.org:
Good luck scamming me over email when I use only PGP and set priority for service mail addresses
15:57:56
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Good luck scamming me over email when i dont read emails
15:58:22

What to say, based?

Why would anyone install some random browser extension from a spam e-mail?
16:22:09

16:23:07
BlueyHealer:
Yeah, this is full of red flags - I just took issue in the apparent mindset.
16:25:25
plowsof:
they should just upload a closed source binary and tell people it will tripple their hashes like everyone else
16:29:39

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

Users of Roundcube should be struck from the orbit in my view 🧌

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

True education begins the moment you unlearn everything they taught you.
