Holy shit....this is the best ico i ever been involved in. life changing.

Yeah, this is perhaps one of the most successful ICO‘s I have ever seen (considering the time it‘s been public thus far.)

But the scary thing is going to be once S. korea has acces to it on its exchanges. Might want to not let this one go for a while.

Is there any way, by using our log in information, to get our Cryptsy trade history?
Thx in advance.

Bathrobe: Yeah - It's been a patient building for sure.  One that many of us have known is solid, and "markets" are now beginning to validate.

The amount of reach PIVX is setting up to have in 2018 is amazing.

I have a twitter wager going... I said around $80 by end of next year.  Another is saying $100+.  11 PIV is on the line.  Either way - whoever wins, we all win.

The rate we're expanding, I think $80 might be low...



I will include 2 main factors in my answer, crypto in 2018 and the tech.
1. 2018 is going to be huge for crypto. We see it unfolding and we have to include that here.
2. Pivx tech is on par with the two big top anon coins -  Monero and Zcash. But once we are fully anon, next year is my guess, we will be a better deal than either. Especially since we are the only POS anon coin with the zerocoin protocol.

We should be an easy 100 USD on tech alone, but 2018 is going to see a huge influx of money. I am calling, at a minimum, a $200 year end price. All top 50-100 coins plus are gonna fly and we are a top 3 anon coin.

Been in this a while and I know a undervalued coin when I see one and then throw some 2018 crypto magic on it. Gonna go boom....

ICO question - I have inputted about 4 ICO trades that were closed as losses (so as to offset some gains). So, I have the purchase (in ETH) input and I have sales at a loss a few months later input. When I look at the report, it is saying that the cost basis for every trade is zero and showing profitable trades for all. These were manually entered. Might it be related to trades prior in ETH? or ?

It looks like this:
I Bought X for $560
I Sold X for $151

Program says:
Cost basis $ 0
Profit $151

I experimented by buying ETH right before the above purchase, in the software, still says basis is 0. (Note - I did that as I have some warnings with no prior trades showing.)

Tech support was fast! I have yet to try the paper wallet solution, but here it is:

Quote
There are two ways to achieve this.

You can use our group feature in order to assign the same group to the transactions you would like to bundle for the Tax-Report.

Later you first calculate the taxes for these groups only and and exclude them from the total Tax-Report. This can easily be done with the filter on the Tax-Report page.

The second possibility is to link/use multiple accounts, as described in our FAQ and to completely separate exchange and Wallet data.

We always recommend to talk to a professional accountant in order to find the best solution for your tax declaration.

I hope it helps.
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CoinTracking - Profit/Loss Portfolio and Tax Reporting for Digital Currencies on: November 25, 2017, 03:27:42 PM
I think there needs to be a way to add the transaction (with cost) at just before the paper wallets creation?

Yes, since the wallet neither buys nor sells, it has no effect on the tax.

Perhaps you can simply have your paper wallet loaded with an income transaction on the paper wallet, which, I think, automatically values the coins at the time of the transaction as if you bought them.

I could not find definitions of what the transaction types actually do, so I still have to guess and test a little bit.

I figure since I am using FIFO, that even though I bought the BTC right before the paper wallet was opened, it still didn't use it. So, we need to do what you said. It just seems, there should have been this functionality in the software a while ago, it is around since 2013 I think. It appears like we are figuring out a work around.

I can probably find the original transaction for the purchase of those coins by using the blockchain, but how do we link that to the paper wallet? I would think the software should do this as part of the import, but clearly it hasn't (even after a recalculation) for as I said, my taxes went up.

Thanks for the help
I'm placing a support ticket and will report back next week or whenever they get back to me.

How do you integrate a paper wallet held more than 1 year (for long term capital gains benefits) into cointracking?
In the country I am filing in, they only except FIFO. So, I will do my taxes that way for my trading, but with my long term paper wallets (when I roll them into, e.g. Ethereum) I want to legally get the long term capital gains. (Note - I am importing exchange date for the most part.)

I'm not from CoinTracking and they might still reply, but I had the same problem with bitcoins and can say a few words.

The basic idea is that you include all your paper wallet information into your bookkeeping.

You can manually import the paper wallet's bitcoin address into CoinTracking:

  • Click on "Enter Coins".
  • Scroll down to "Bitcoin Wallet Import" and click on it.
  • Copy the paper wallet's public bitcoin address into the field "Your BTC Address".
  • Fill in the rest of the form.
  • Click the "Import …" button.

CoinTracking will then automagically read all coin movements on the paper wallet directly from the blockchain. But, of course, it still cannot know where you got the bitcoins from originally and how much you paid for them.

If the laws of your country, like Germany, make the sale of coins held longer than the limit completely tax-free and if you have held those coins for longer, then it plays no role for how much you bought them for tax purposes. The tax would be zero anyway.

If the law allows a lower tax, but still more than zero, after a certain holding time, like the US, then you still have to provide information on how and for how much you bought the bitcoins, so CoinTracking can determine the gain and the tax.

Thanks for the answer. I thought there must be a way. The coins were in cold storage a couple of years and then I traded them for some alts earlier this year. So, I will see if the software puts them down as a long term capital gain. So many "missed" trades (see following) and I expect more problems. I might have to manually enter a whole lot of trades. Nice software, but I really wish it was a bit more intelligent (e.g. offering solutions, possibilities, etc.) For hundreds of Euros, if not thousands, it should do more. But, it is much better than bitcointax from my brief testing.

Has anyone had any experience with "There is no suitable purchase for XX sales. Please check your entered trades if all purchases are properly filed." I have all my trades from the 2 exchanges in question and not only is it not able to account for a few trades, but it also puts me in a losing position, tax wise. I'm using FIFO. I've tried manually editing things, but it is beyond complicated, not really doable.

And what about Shapeshift? Any way to easily track things and account for losses/profits using your wallet address.

Thanks for the help, wish I could help you with your question the page before.

EDIT - I tested 2 paper wallets, both held over a year. When I imported them it was successful (and the alert said the job was completed). But, it never asked me for a recalculation and when I ran a tax report, nothing changed as far as tax owed (it should have gone done). As you said, there is not a price basis, and I don't see how to do that. But, when I deleted the address, then it asked for a recalculation. I tried to reimport it again, to see if it would ask for a recalculation, but it said it was already imported, though the data was gone? I think there needs to be a way to add the transaction (with cost) at just before the paper wallets creation?
EDIT 2 - I added the purchase of the coins just prior to the paper wallets creation. Coins were held two years. It asked for a recalculation and my taxes went up. :-(   This is not making sense.

Bitcoin it's true that you have been facing challenging celestial circumstances. But let me say that you are now only a few weeks away from a tremendously positive, long-term change in the cosmic climate.

Before that however Bitcoin I suspect you may soon be invited or coaxed to engage in what amounts to some tainted behavior. Don't do it. Make an extra effort to be incorruptible.

Enjoy this weekend's new moon & the fresh perspectives that it gives.

Edit, same day:

I'm sure this will be quite stating the obvious to many, but I've been looking in depth at Bitcoin's short to medium term future & I can say quite categorically that there is going to be a lot of controversy surrounding it - much more so than now & that it will become widespread in ppls awareness in 5 years time, so it certainly survives these difficult early years & by 2017 it is going to have a critical mass I assume - this especially in the United States, what I got was America to be exact where it was going to become very widespread in popular knowledge & I so guess use/adaption with all that implies.

Summary, it's going to be a bumpy ride, there's no rush, look to be all in before 2017, it will never go to zero & won't fail in this time frame, American market is the key, expect interesting times.

"...look to be all in before 2017..."



Nice call...and funny how time flies.
I may have to pull up a chart...

Good coin, but not quite in Navcoin's league yet.

Hopefully wallet functions well. I am recommending a buy for sure with the recent price dip.  Cheesy

Solid Altcoin with bright futur like NAVcoin
Keep going the good job dev team..
Cheers..


Navcoin has som interesting anon features, like dapp's, but Pivx has Zercoin (or will), Nav is not even close in this regard.
Might want to research before you post false hoods.

Projecting the price up from the Fibbonacci retracement levels, via our first rise up, I'm looking for .001 to .0013 (Which equates to my price predictions above, $4.30-$5.59), looks like this:




34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: October 01, 2017, 10:18:15 AM
I'm aware of the new release but it still doesn't change the fact that so little Aeon is on Bittrex that can be bought. I'll wait to see what happens once deposits and withdrawals are re-enabled on Bittrex. If this holds, then yes this is a legit pump.

Fair point but let's look further. HitBTC is at $2.26 right now and at $2.70 on Bittrex - Though I don't trust HitBTC that much though - I stay away and won't put too much into the price disparity (yet).

Looking further:
BTC is $4300 and LTC is $54. (80:1 ratio)
BTC Market Cap is 71.5 Billion and LTC is 2.9 Billion = 25:1 ratio
Dash is $323 and Pivx is $3. (108:1 ratio)
Dash Market Cap is 2.5 Billion and Pivx is 166 million = 15:1 ratio
Monero is $94 and Aeon is $2.70 (35:1 ratio)
Monero Markt Cap is 1.4 Billion and Aeon is 39 million = 36:1 ratio

Price is more psychological (albeit still meaningful) but Market Cap is more practical here when trying to determine true value (e.g. companies, cryptos, etc.) So, on the surface - Market Cap wise, I'd say Aeon is quite undervalued relative to some other Cryptos (ratio wise) BUT this is dependent on Aeon full-filling the promise of what it will do technically (e.g. running on a cell phone). Perhaps the price is fair all things considered - risk is priced in, but considering our developer Smooth, I like our chances. (BTW - I understand Dash is getting away from anonymity and focussing more on payments, but for the sake of comparison, I came up with these examples; add to them if you wish.)

Projecting the price out, using an average 20:1 ratio would put us at a $70 million dollar cap,  which equates to a price of $4.78 per Aeon.
So, we are looking at a double from here. But to be safe, we can say a range of maybe $3 to $7, as this isn't a science. Now, of course, we have to consider, how important will anonymity become? Will LTC implement Confidential Transactions and what would that effect be? (I say small as CT is not Ring Signatures good.)

Jump in here guys.

I love PIVX and my PIVX masternode. Unfortuanately it is very expensive to buy a masternode these day, you habe to invest 30.000 $ and get back 120 $  per month.
You can  get nearly the same payout if u invest in crave, but you need only 1200$ for a node, that pays 100$ per month.
you can buy crave on cryptopia and a good hoting service is nodeshare.in, you pay 8$  per month  (96 $ a year ) and get cahsback of 20% if you pay with byteballs!
Another interesting masternode coin is in my opinion Neutron, which u can also host @ nodeshare.in.
Of course, both coins do not have such good projects like PIVX, but there are not much coins that can compete with PIVX.
This information is for people, how like to have a cheap masternode with good ROI.


It sounds like you don't understand Pivx. You don't need a masternode to stake. As a matter of fact, you often can do better by just staking (with no masternode).
Check here for rewards, but they are generally almost identical. http://pivx.cryptonode.co/

Right now for example, rewards are as follows (from preceding link):
Monthly revenue for 10k Pivx   41.74 PIVX 132.15 USD (Masternode)      50.25 PIVX 159.07 USD (Staking)
Staking is more profitable, your problem is solved!  Grin

edit - ps, if you only have 5k Pivx, it is as follows: 25.12 PIVX 79.54 USD  (Notice, you are not penalized)  Wink



The masternode/staking rewards always fluctuate. When the number of masternodes go higher, the masternode rewards will go lower and when there are less number of masternodes the rewards for masternodes will be higher.

Didn't mean to sound like I didn't understand what was going on. I even said - "Right now for example..." and linked the calculator to show which one, at the moment, is more profitable.
The "fluctuating" is called the "see-saw mechanism" and is described here in the white paper if anyone is interested. https://pivx.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/PIVX-purple-paper-Technincal-Notes.pdf

There is a Mac Wallet, just look at the Github. https://github.com/aeonix/aeon I was going to install it, but now they released the update as binaries and I was using Homebrew (sort of does it for you.)

Chart update for Aeon in Bittrex, HitBTC chart is also the same with Aeon's price dancing on 30,000 satoshis with the sell wall broken yesterday. The activity in HitBTC is also increasing.

To all Aeon holders, what do you reckon will the support be? Will the price today hold or will we see another dump?

Looks like we broke that channel. Watch the next few days to see if we hold.

Fib support is as below, 38.2% around .00037
