hey Searing so you paid the initial 30% by Amex but it was via Paypal, so you didn't bother with Paypal because it was already pat 60 days so you went straight to Amex

is that correct?

yep ..amex did not care...paypal did not matter....no sh*t told them this and said jan 2013 and did not get an item by accident and she said she would have to step away to go that far back....(not sure where that woulda gone can they go back that far?) corrected to jan 2014...but man maybe they can go back that far? anyway

again with only getting 217 usd back out of 667 back from my 30% down on my vyper 50mh...using the alpha rules

figured wtf do I have to lose?

also I'm a legal usa miner (don't ask due to bank screwups had to file or woulda been in trouble..lucky i did so all is good)

but have to pay taxes on any coin i make mining...but can take off depreciation on equip (50% 1st year currently to stimulate economy)

assuming i can write off equip as per IRS current rules (sure to change for asic miners) wrote off my bfl loss of 8.5k last year (now got a refund that is income this year ouch) so know this works

I can depreciate about $225 out of the whole 667 loss if I remember right in 'real dollars' otherwise paid to IRS should I lose the 667 complete may take a couple years of tax loss on equip not delivered...so always that route round about thou it may be

so no real risk just going straight to amex (that and the fact i'm kinda p/o'd) whatever odd miner in usa that i am it is doable

on the other hand if alpha just wanted the 70 british pounds penalty i would have paid that ($120 bucks) that would be fair
for me getting out this late..but $450 gone out of $667 naw....I'd rather lose it all with an amex dispute and get the $$$ back
thru 'real' tax equip loss taxes otherwise to IRS in the next few years as an equip loss then take their 217 usd deal

we will see...the amex lady basically agreed w/o updates/the TOS/the timeline of july 15th with little info no prototype etc
had her following me around to the alpha pages etc

anyway i'll let you know...they are just.too greedy on stuff i never got
..again the 70 pounds is reasonable penalty...guilt for wasting their time would
let me pay that ...but man ...no paypal anymore ...no credit card option yet? Huh

their main PHONE OUT due to technical difficulties (maybe that is fixed now?)...who knows they say squat.

so boys i''m doing the below

"run away run away"

(heh side note I know some ww II vets who have medals...they basically say they had a medal cause it was a fubar..and the above running away was not an option...all their stories start with 'tactical retreats' on how they got their medals when that did not or could not work well heh)
