Quoted from Erik:Are mined currencies taxable as ordinary income?
Looks like mined currencies are taxable at your ordinary rate, then STCG or LTCG applies when selling or exchanging for another asset (including other crypto currencies)
I also found discussion of self employment tax being applicable...
