Example files do not work

Hi, I’m trying to run the example files:

• crypto_example.config
• crypto_example.ods

But upon running, get these errors

INFO: Country: us

No, you’re asking good questions and it’s good to discuss publicly so that others can read too. Also thanks for the link.

Thanks for all the good questions and feedback: this will be useful for others too.

Here’s my understanding on the topic of theft, displacement and rug pulls:

• crypto theft/displacement is not tax deductible (therefore it doesn’t need a new transaction type in RP2)
• rug pulls are treated as a normal loss (so again, no need for a new transaction type in RP2)

Here are articles that discuss this topic:

• https://www.blog.cointracking.info/do-you-pay-taxes-stolen-hacked-lost-crypto
• https://cryptotrader.tax/blog/reporting-stolen-or-lost-cryptocurrency-for-tax-purposes

From the perspective of RP2 the only question is: is a new transaction type required? I think the answer is no (existing ones are sufficient to capture these scenarios), but I’m happy to stand corrected if anybody has a better understanding.
