During my study as a computer science student I made a bed with a fellow student to see who could write the best market trading AI, we both gave it 100 and agreed that the winner would receive the remaining money of the loser. Now my AI made about 200 in the next 3 months meaning that I won. Because I liked the results I decided to use the now 350 to have the AI invest some more and set up a set of rules that included that in certain situations it sent it's money to my personal bank account. I then made it fully autonomous and put it on it's own server, including the duty of paying for this server from it's own account. I then stored the server address and other data on a file on my desktop.
That's where the problem started you see I did not make a proper backup and my HD crashed. Now I'm fine with having this AI out there sending me money, in the past year it has send me about 5k, but I'm worried about the tax implication of this as I have no idea how much money is in the system right now and no real way to check. Anybody have experience with owning assets without knowing how many assets you actually own?
