Can I use the entire cost of the rig ($3600) as a tax deduction in one single year?  

E.g. say I make $8000 income from mining .. does the taxable income then become $8000 - $3600 - electricity costs?

Or must I deprecate the cost of the rig over multiple years? 

I rather get the full tax deduction this year I'd think.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I would think you could do it either way, but I would consult with a CPA.

Ok, I want you to walk back in there and very calmly, very politely tell the risk assessors to fuck off! -Mark Baum

Seems either case would be fair since governments appear to now want a cut, i.e., to tax; definitely consult with a tax professional to see which option may be best for you.
