Here's the deal. Team Gridcoin is paying people to do a job. The members are not mining directly, so it's not a pool. The members are crunching boinc projects for profit. That puts every single member under contractor status and should by law be required to fill out a 1099 before doing a thing. Advertising on most of the boinc sites makes it sound like free money. It's not free. They are doing a job and getting paid. Most of the members are not paying taxes on it I assure you. Comingt forward to ask boinc to fix the credit system to stop the cheating was the worst move any blunderhead could have made. According to the guidelines in the US, Team Gridcoin is a cheat, a fraud and a thief. I hope the "owner" and the admins have enough for a lawyer for their members. For when the servers start getting comp4nscated to find out who is doing the work and also the ones getting paid to crunch, it's nt going to s6op with the heads of gridcoin since4, nobody has bothered to file a 1099. Team Gridcoin is illegal that it's a non-profit organization hiring people and recruiting from other teams while playing to cruncher's greed. You can try to argue all you want and ju8stify why it's perfectly ok to do what it's been doing for over years. Sadly, tham Gridcoin has violated and skirted the laws for far too long. I'm surprised nobody has had the gumption to call them on this until now. So many of the reams talk about Gridcoin without a clue how to handle them Well I say, lets stop the cheats......it's time to call the team for what it really is a business that doesn't pay a cent in taxes. So, pucker up buttercup. The taxman is a coming.
