W1099 -- the money the Bitcoin was worth at the time of transfer -- for tax purposes it's a barter commodity.
There is no fraud. The sponsor pays to the Bitcoin wallet number the affiliate supplies -- it's a peer to peer transaction. The sender's wallet records the wallet ID the payment was sent to --right?
Bitcoin is a payment currency not an investment. Payment amounts as based on a real currency -- dollars or euros. You just buy Bitcoin as you need them as far as I am concerned as a payor. My customers rarely buy with Bitcoin.

Yes, But I am saying that if an affiliate generated some fake sales with other forms of payment (ie paypal, credit card) and you paid out with bitcoin before the chargeback, you as the sponsor would be fucked.
Maybe a wallet that the sponsor controls could be on hold for 1 month before bitcoin payments are made.

We would have to consider adjusting our holdback period for bitcoin payments to new affiliates.

I would not. If you paid me yesterday and I didn't want to spend it until today I just lost a quarter of my payment.

The response to this thread has been very light -- some affiliates are at Internext that may be part of the reason but the pump-and-dump nature of Bitcoin payout values is a real issue.
More hypothetically; to do with the new Trump administration's threat to start needless harassment of people in the adult industry.
Bitcoin offers anonymity. Still remembering the porn mini-pogrom of GW Bush and AG Gonzo against the Adult Industry -- this might be a good way to tell AG Sessions where not to go.
It's not money laundering if you pay the taxes on the income and any gain or loss.

That's why some sponsors use a NET30 system, with delayed payouts. It's enough time to do fraud checks.
This is a concern for other forms of payments too really, not just Bitcoin.
