Land Rights in Kenya: Land Rates and Taxes.

  in 2015 having been suspended in 1985. CGT is charged at the rate of 5% of the gain. There are various exemptions on CGT provided under the ITA. The tax on rental income is a tax arising from the gains and profits for occupation of property. The ITA provides for various ways of taxing rental income; Where the rent is payable to a non-resident, the tenant is required to withhold 30% of the rent and remit it to the Kenya Revenue Authority. The tax withheld is a final tax. Where the rent is payable to a resident, if the property is commercial, the tenant being an appointed agent, is required to withhold 10 % of the rent. The tax withheld is not a final tax and the landlord is required to file their income tax in the usual way. Where the rent is payable to a resident and the property is residential, the landlord may opt to either pay a monthly rental income tax, computed at 10 % of the gross rent a (final tax) or pay the instalment tax and final income tax in the usual way.

Networking design of a decentralized Internet

  Networking design of a decentralized Internet     Hey everyone, I've been thinking through mesh net concepts and how a new, more decentralized, the internet could be built. Or merged in, rather. This will probably consist of a few decent thoughts mixed in with some unbacked rants and statements, so please bear with me. I have little concept of wireless networking and effective mesh networking, so not all of my ideas may come together. Ideally, we'd have a mix of both. Run some CAT-5 to your neighbor, bury some fiber to your friend a km away, and connect to a mesh network. Wireless is extremely complex but lets us work without wires where impractical, too illegal, and where we're not ready for them. We should find a way to mix and blend our layer 1 friends without making the others suffer. Layer 3 thoughts: Scrap the notion of IPv4 altogether. We can do fancy things with IPv

two-stage bitcoin mixing

  Two-stage Bitcoin mixing "Mixing" is a term often used with Bitcoin, regarding the trading of coins for the sake of disconnecting your identity from one end of the trail. It can help anonymize your cryptocurrency exchange by working with new coins that have a different history, while yours move on to have new lives of their own. Of course, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and Ethereum also have mixers. Some also call this "tumbling" or better this way: . Bitcoin mixing or bitcoin tumbling is the procedure of using a third-party platform to break down the connection between the Bitcoin sender’s and receiver’s address by blending up several cryptocurrencies together in one place, thereby, ensuring anonymity.   If an individual knows even one of your account addresses, it becomes easy for him to trace down many intricate details about your transaction history like your crypto exchange unit, your trades & even your worth. You can be hacked with

Craig Wright Is Satoshi Nakamoto

  Craig Wright Is Satoshi Nakamoto 2021-09-29 Maybe later I'll cite some sources here and give some explanation. I've been around Bitcoin for a long time, most of you who know me will know that. I'm happy to tell my stories there if you are interested. I don't mean to say I'm magically qualified to make this claim, but I like to think I have a little bit of weight on the topic of Bitcoin than a complete outsider or someone who bought at $19k. Craig Wright is (probably) Satoshi Nakamoto. You may not like him or what he stands for, and that's fine. You may be taken off guard that he's not a super anarcho-capitalist, anti-statist (I was). But more than likely, he is. He openly claims it on video, in court cases, in copyrights, and is setting himself up for a ton of trouble if he's not. Maybe he knows Satoshi is dead and he can "take his place". Not a bad theory.

online vs offline software

  Online vs Offline Software 2021-09-29 "Always Online" software is an interesting paradigm. I haven't seen much written where the logical split of offline/online software should be, so thought it might make for a good topic. Dependencies, dependencies As a rule of thumb, if you have a hard dependency on some resource, you might as well go all the way with that dependency. Let's say you have a Bitcoin miner. The miner is worthless to you if it's not able to reach the mining pool. And reaching the mining pool requires Internet access, generally speaking. So let's define two possible models for the mining software. Miner design #1 Miner boots Ubuntu and has a service which launches xmrig to do the actual mining. While none of the boot process requires Internet access, the system is still useless to you if it's not mining. This also requires it has some kind of ha

Bitcoin, Idealism, and Frugality

  Only read if you don't mind being offended. Bitcoin, Idealism, and Frugality 2021-09-29 I guess I haven't talked much about my Bitcoin adventures. Nor idealism coming before common sense with finances. Maybe one of you out there is young and idealistic. Your views around money follow suit. You don't really care about losing money, you just care about doing the right thing. Is that so bad? Maybe it isn't the best idea. I hope I can talk some sense into you. First experience with Bitcoin I don't have the most consistent recollection of my journey with Bitcoin. But most likely, I heard about it at the second Slashdot posting. I fired up one machine and mined three blocks in a week. It might have been on a laptop.
