My original post was to see what your thoughts on taxation as a miner and if you think the government will be able to cut into profits. If so are we talking short term capital gain type 40% crazy taxation.
Taxation and FinCEN guidance on money transmitter laws are two completely separate topics.
As a miner, you don't actually mine the coins. You are providing a hashing service and the mining pool is the party generating the bitcoin (it is the pool's address in the coinbase, not yours).
So how that will get fleshed out will be interesting.
I think there seems to be either ignorance of the guidance or perhaps a collective bit of civil disobedience occurring.
