If you do not follow this posting procedure it will result in self-employment. You would also have to pay 15.3% in self-employment tax (Social Security & Medicare).
2nd Question. Yes, you will correct it on the 1099-B. On the input screen for each currency, there is a check block for My Cost Basis Is Incorrect. Use the cost basis as posted from the 1099-MISC.
3rd Question. No, not if you do it right. It is frequent that the cost basis has to be changed. Simply keep a note with your taxes explaining what you did. Keep it available if the IRS should question it. They probably won't
