I guess I don’t understand what the amendment actually does. If you’re a crypto miner, you already have to report your own income from that activity to the government; failure to do so is already a crime, namely tax evasion. And if you’re not a custodian, by definition your own activity is the only activity that you have data on, right? What new reporting does this actually mandate?

This mandates miners (and developers, and others who are not custodians) reporting data on others that they do not and cannot have.
Right, that's what the article says, but what specific data would they be required to report and in what context?
