btw, the Senate pretty much botched crypto in the Infrastructure bill -- (link) - oblique Aug 10, 05:32 10
- (because of one vote.) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 10, 05:42 2
  - One senator’s objection, rather. Never actually came to a vote, looks like. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 10, 05:46 1
    - Right because they didn’t allow votes on any amendments because the delays were eating into their recess. -- nm - spamlet Aug 10, 05:56
- Nah, they’re just requiring reporting for crypto transactions like you do for stocks. If you’re paying taxes on your transactions this will help you. - spamlet Aug 10, 05:37 6
  - Unfortunately it isn't that simple. They have a vague definition of "broker" which has implications for miners, transaction validators, and other - oblique Aug 10, 05:45 3
    - It sounds like they have an amendment that will be attached to another bill. - spamlet Aug 10, 05:51 2
      - I don't believe anything is left to be done in the Senate. Sounds like the next step is fixing it in the House version -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 05:57 1
        
        And if that doesn’t work, simply buying off the people in charge of writing the actual regulations will fix the problem. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 10, 06:51
  - Right, they don't want any regulations or taxes on crypto at all. That's a fantasy that was never going to happen. -- nm - Inigo Aug 10, 05:41
  - looks like the correct answer -- nm - budice Aug 10, 05:40

- Uh, aren't those used for yard waste? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 10, 05:30 4
  - Not here. Black bags are regular garbage. Not a lot of yard waste in NYC. :-) Clear for recycling and black for regular waste. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 05:42
  - I think we have to use clear for yard waste. -- nm - sycor Aug 10, 05:31 2
    - we have bins or can use compostable bags. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 10, 05:43
    - Compost, boitches! -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 05:39
