What are the reporting requirements? Will they lead to taxation? Overhead computing resource per block/transaction validated?

Is this reporting only, or will it result in additional taxes?

This seems light on details, and I really don't know what opinion to have on this without understanding what the requirements are. Nothing I've read succinctly explains this.

The same reporting requirements as banks. So the amendment is basically saying that anything that looks bank-ish in cryptocurrency terms will actually be treated as a bank for KYC/AML requirements. The consternation is that the "anything that looks bank-ish" is too broadly defined, but from my reading, it really isn't.
