I wish the government would just fucking rob me directly instead of forcing me to keep meticulous records of the size and associated fees and contemporaneous USD value of BTC for every fucking daily payout

Hmm. Evaluating "include the fair market value of the virtual currency, measured in U.S. dollars, as of the date that the virtual currency was received." Wonder if I can defend use of the daily low price.

Do I need to pay self-employment taxes if I already max out SS/Medicare tax at my day job? Does wiferobot's rental duplex fuck things up further? What about quarterly estimated taxes? Join me as I investigate these and other exciting issues and slip deeper into anarchocapitalism

My apartment is toasty, and I'm still miles above my shutdown threshold. Even so, o u c h. Waking up every morning and computing my past day's net take has been unpleasant. Love to everyone out there taking a more direct beating.

what's the easiest way to sell used GPUs? AMZN, EBAY? Still have all the original packaging and plastic bits and such as I'm still turning a profit but it's 70 Fahrenheit in Seattle and @tradwiferobot wants to be able to use the oven without logging in and killing my workers

Well, end of a fun era. I listed four of my GPUs on eBay and set another two up with some tweeps. If I hit the going eBay rate, even after they take their 10% cut I should be in the black on capital, so that's nice.

Have bids on 3 cards already, from a Russian. I panicked for a second at the thought of paying to ship across the Pacific, but fortunately eBay restricts to domestic addresses by default. Hmm. If I'd been more thoughtful + had higher n, could've run some experiments . . .

in other news, for the first time in months my apartment is REALLY CHILLY. Looks like a few weeks of sweaters indoors.pic.twitter.com/QmPrlX8dYP

All right. Six cards sold, roughly for what I paid for them (or at a slight profit adjusting for the fact that I sold my old 1080 and kept one of the 1080Ti FTW). Still mining Monero with my E5 2687W-v4 chips, but I might cut back on that once it really warms up. Full circle!

Overall, I think I made about $1500 net of electricity. Purely as a function of the hours I burned on this project, this was an economic loss given my marginal value of time. But factor in the value of learning, experimentation, heating, and entertainment, and I made a killing.

Thanks for following along, everyone. I'll be sure to document the next slightly-unhinged project I start out on. (This wasn't my first--ask my pal
@Lexirad about living with me sophomore year--and it sure won't be the last.) xoxoShow this thread

is the heating bill tax deductible?

I mean electricity bill. Definitely not the heating bill
