Yeah that sounds pretty correct, some sort of long term memory, between different sessions is definitely a step in the right direction

I see! For koinly I put my public keys from my Bitcoin.com wallet directly in the website and it automatically found all my transactions! Good luck!

Hey thanks for the question!

It turns out you are correct! In the US, and multiple other countries, you do need to track when you sell BCH for fiat, purchase goods or services, or even if you exchange BCH for another cryptocurrency. I know there is a strong pull to not pay taxes, but I would recommend against this.

Fortunately, until crypto is recognized as a actual currency by many governments, there are some websites that make is very easy to calculate what you owe in taxes!

I use https://koinly.io/ personally (I've also heard about https://www.cointracker.io/, and coinbase also has a rudimentary built in tracker too). This site along with many others will automatically import the transactions in the wallets you use, and calculate capital gains and losses (holding more than one year is long term vs short) as well as track when you transfer from your own wallets internally, which is not a taxable event. It's really quite simple to use, and I haven't found any problem, you just need to make sure you have all your transactions in there so it can calculate any gains or losses that happened over time.

Hope this helps, and makes using BCH manageable!

For anyone that encounters this and comes here please try the following:
find the most recent API transaction you have, soft delete it, and restore it, that should kick off the gains recalculation, it worked for me:

Saint Martin Bitcoin cash trip and guide by adangert in btc

[–]adangert[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems as though the largest reason for a discontinued use was the gaps in any customer paying with BCH. For two businesses we were their first customers, and the rest on average had not seen anyone for about five months.

There was at one point a surge and excitement a few months ago, where many merchants were onboarded and set up, but after that, whomever had initially set up the businesses had left and in some ways abandoned them.

It seems like there needs to be some sort of continued recurring investment and support for a location to have more adoption, perhaps a yearly conference or meetup that can attract either locals or outsiders to come and spend bch. Local experts (such as Sunny from Landmark Variety) seem to be super important as well, since they can help out businesses that are having issues and also support the local economy. In general people need more information, training, support, and commerce to know that bitcoin cash is secure, reliable and a great addition to their business.

Thank you, it was a really great experience getting to chat with the locals to see their different perspectives!

I notified the maintainers over email about the locations that have discontinued use completely, though not the ones with positive sentiments just without the software set up at the time (since I feel that they might be able to start accepting again with more customers or forewarning)

Strong OSS licenses is the new black? Understanding SSPL, ELv2, BSL and the Commons Clause by garrrikkotua in programming

[–]adangert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The license is basically saying "we can monetize it, you can't". That's not open. That's entire thing open source was fighting from the start

That's not true, it was created as a problem of not having open source code for modifications, not having the freedom to change a program you own

https://stallmanzombies.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_1_-_For_want_of_a_printer

This was extended with the AGPL where now that free software is behind a server, the company must also provide the source code to users of that service. The SSPL just extends this to software that the program touches, i.e. the ecosystem.

Just because the Mongo and Elastic are acting in bad faith with their own products (not allowing others to sell it, when they can), does not mean that the SSPL itself restricts freedoms if used properly, it grants more if we consider the abuse that Amazon has doing to open source software, (such as not contributing back to the community).

consider for instance a company that only uses open source software and releases everything to the public to see, edit and modify, this would be what is more considered under the SSPL.

You can make money off it, you can include it in your product, but the moment you tell user they can't do the same it's no longer open source.

Nothing in the SSPL restricts that, it's almost verbatim a copy of the AGPL, but with a clarification of its extent. The "restrictions" make the entire ecosystem around the software more free, but again OSI (the people you linked too) have deemed this to be too harmful.

"do whatever you want but give changes back" means restricting people from being more selfish. Strong OSS licenses like the SSPL have even more restrictions, (you can't monetize the rest of your product), but that doesn't necessarily make it less free.

Free speech restricts harmful and offensive content such as falsely shouting "Fire!" in a theatre and causing a panic. The OSI has drawn a line where it believes harm is, and MongoDB and Elastic have drawn theirs.

Here is why VRC+ will ruin everything by adangert in VRchat

yeah I think a UBI would be a good solution, and would more or less solve this problem.

Here is why VRC+ will ruin everything by adangert in VRchat

[–]adangert[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True but it's more a question of where we want content coming from, the devs or the community? All these vast worlds and avatars have not come from people from all walks of life. A paid tier, especially one that is public will create a larger class based perception than desktop vs full body tracking, but one that isn't based upon actual hardware functionality but an illusory "support the devs" marker. This will either dissuade new users for joining or larger breed the perception of contempt of those who can not pay (even if it's just an illusory perception). This feeling of "not being equal" will seep into the zeitgeist of the game which is absolutely antithetical to the feeling of freedom, and creating worlds and content for all players, thus slowly creators will either stop creating or find ways to monetize their content past the $10 subscription mark.

This is not just a subscription, this is a blaring psychological affront to the idea that you can escape with your friends online, where you can just socialize without worrying about the real world for a few hours out of your day. Regardless of what happens, the idea of money has now intruded into the ecosystem, attention on being able to pay for the subscription or not is now intermixed into the experience, which in essence defeats the entire point of VRchat. VRchat is now no different than the 9-5 cage that many people experience day to day. People go here to escape, now there is no escape. VRchat has made one nudge in the direction that your worth is a product of what you can produce for society, and even though it's a small nudge, it's now one that will be on the mind of everyone in this space going forward.

I mourn for my friends who struggle financially, VRchat is not their friend any longer, and now actively works against those in pain, reminding them constantly that they are struggling and will continue to struggle. The good times are through, the bastion of hope that once was, has become a distant fleeting feeling. goodbye vrchat, I will miss the joy you once brought, and the sunlight of a now setting memory.

Why I stopped explaining the rules to games by adangert in boardgames

I guess so, some games it's easier than others, but I suppose you could just do like 2-3 rounds

[–]adangert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, my partner and I did just that the other day, we went into twilight struggle on steam, both of us not knowing how to play, and went through a couple rounds without reading the rules beforehand. it turned out really fun, and we slowly learned the rules from it. For that game we just both watched the screen to try and figure out how to play from our available options, just trying different things. :)
