Några trådar skapades idag på bitcointalk.org samt forum.bitcoin.se som försökte lura folk att logga in med sin Kapiton-inloggning på en extern sida. Gör inte det!
Trådarna skapades av en helt ny användare (trots att Sebastian redan har en användare) och använde en Gmail-adress istället för en Kapiton-adress. Inläggen länkade till en sajt som ej ligger på kapiton.se-domänen så det råder inget tvivel om att det var ett phishing-försök.
Jag har mejlat Sebastian på Kapiton.

Do you know what exactly are they appealing for?
It is to be able to tax commissions earned by exchanges as if it was a taxable service, or is it because they want bitcoins units themselves to be subject to VAT like a consumption good?
The former would be bad, but well, it's just the same think for every kind of service. But the latter is much more catastrophic.
Sorry for the slow response. I received the appeal in the mail today and I have just skimmed through it but it seems to be about the commission. Skatteverket writes that they would like the Supreme Administrative Court to get a decision from the EU court to clarify this. So I guess that it will take a while but if we get a decision from the EU then that's a good thing, not only for Swedes. |

The ruling is now available on the homepage of Skatterättsnämnden (in Swedish only, sorry). Apparently Skatteverket ("the tax authorities", "IRS") has appealed the decision which means that it will be tried in Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen ("Supreme Administrative Court"). My contact said that she doesn't know how long this will take and it might even be brought up to the EU court in which case it will be a long time until I have a final decision. |

In Germany, you can't simply buy and sell bitcoins as sort of a business, you would need to get a (money transmitter? "banking"?) licence for this.
[...]
I didn't follow this for other countries, how about exchanging bitcoins on a professional scale in Sweden and Finland? Would you need a licence? In Sweden you need to register with "Finansinspektionen" but it's not that expensive. 24 000 SEK (~2700 EUR) to register if you are a company, 11 000 SEK if you're an individual. You then pay 10 000 or 2 000 SEK each year. And you need to follow AML/KYC rules. |

This is related to the thread Bitcoin and VAT in the EU but I think that it deserves its own thread. About a year ago I requested an advance ruling from Skatterättsnämnden (“the tax board”?) in Sweden regarding Bitcoin and VAT. An advance ruling in this case means that their decision is legally binding for the tax agency in Sweden (“Skatteverket”) and a general administrative court (“allmän förvaltningsdomstol”) if the applicant wants to use it. The case that I presented was that I would be buying bitcoins from an exchange (e.g. Mt.Gox) and then sell them on to Swedish customers. Last week I finally received their decision and it was good news! First of all, they state that exchanging between regular currency and Bitcoin does not imply consumtion, i.e. Bitcoin is not treated as a good or a service, so there is no VAT on bitcoins themselves. With regards to VAT it is treated as any other currency. Second of all, they reach the decision that the service that I provide is also excempt from VAT, i.e. there should be no VAT added to the commission that I would take. I have written about this in Swedish on bitcoin.se with some quotes from the ruling but it is hard for me to translate the legal stuff to english. I only have it on paper right now but the ruling will be public on the homepage of Skatträttsnämnden, hopefully later this week. |

Quote from StackExchange: The checkpoints are hard coded into the standard client. The concept is, that the standard client will accept all transactions up to the checkpoint as valid and irreversible. If anyone tries to fork the blockchain starting from a block before the checkpoint, the client will not accept the fork. This makes those blocks "set in stone".

The reason that the price is currently higher on Mt.Gox is because there have been big delays when withdrawing, see for example this thread: MtGox withdrawal delays. So, lots of people want to buy bitcoins on Mt.Gox to get their money out that way. |

Under insättning finns följande text: Konsumentrådgivning- FYB PTE. LTD., innehavaren av FYB-SE inlåning lagrade värdeanläggning, kräver inte godkännande av Finansinspektionen. Konsumenterna (användarna) uppmanas att läsa vilkoren noga.
För det första är det väldigt konstig svenska ("inlåning lagrade värdeanläggning") men bortsett från det, anser ni alltså att ni inte behöver registrera er hos Finansinspektionen för att driva er verksamhet? Undrar också var villkoren jag uppmanas läsa finns. |

Vore intressant att veta lite mer om företaget. Vilka är FYB PTE. LTD.? I vilket land är ni registrerade?

Sorry om det gränsar till off topic...
Nädå, det tycker jag inte att det är. Var bara nyfiken på vad jag har att vänta mig innan jag sätter igång med en timmes dokumentär. |

I received my SEPA today. According to my account history I requested it on May 14th, so 3 weeks ago.
If you don't mind me asking what was the amount? Sorry for my slow response, but it was for 1000 euro. |

What I like about this is that if we start talking in terms of "million satoshis" we also have an alternative name for that: bitcent. I have always thought that bitcents (or just cents) would be easier for people to adopt than mBTC/mb/millibit.

Om det är någon av er svenskar som är på plats som är sugen på att skriva en liten rapport som ett gästinlägg på bitcoin.se så säg till!

Hey guys,
We don't have any written rules for this but my suggestion is that we keep this forum in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish or in some cases English. It's not that I don't want people from Finland here but I don't see a point in having posts in completely different languages in the same forum. The point of the local forums is to build local communities and there won't be any community building if we can't understand each other.
That's my opinion, feel free to add yours.

Chefsstrategen på den svenska storbanken SEB har skrivit en artikel om Bitcoin och jag har också kommenterat den på bitcoin.se. Det är en saklig och i stort sett korrekt artikel, betydligt bättre skriven än annat man sett i svensk press på sista tiden. Intressant att läsa hur han ser på framtiden: Argumentet att bitcoin skulle utgöra ett hot mot och konkurrera ut vanliga banker stämmer dock inte. Det finns inga teoretiska hinder för vanliga banker att öppna filialer på internet och där erbjuda konton, lån och andra banktjänster i bitcoin på precis samma sätt som man redan gör i alla andra valutor. Faktum är att en sådan utveckling är högst trolig om bitcion växer till att bli kommersiellt intressant samtidigt som eventuella legala frågetecken rätas ut.
