Topic: I talked with Amazon Live Support today... - page 2. (Read 19010 times)
oh i so much hope amazon will not get angry over people/plugins messing with their payment process. I was thinking about a plugin adding bitcoin as a payment option to all these pages but it was too obvious to me that this might get me into legal trouble.

Me: I saw on The Good Wife that Amazon accepts bitcoins, but I can't find your bitcoin address anywhere.
Roger:I'm sorry, I haven't heard about that. I will check with my supervisor.
Me: Great, thanks.
Roger: Hi, apparently the tv show made a mistake. They were meant to say "You can spend bitcoins on Amazon through spendbitcoins.com."
Me: Ah, but that page looks a bit difficult to navigate.
Roger: Let me check with my supervisor.
Me: Okay.
Roger: My supervisor says it's not as hard as it looks, but that they are bringing out a new design & browser extension in mid-February which will make it even easier than using a credit card on Amazon. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Me: nope not at the moment, thanks for your time!
Roger: Have a great day
Oh, the irony. That's killer. Roger:I'm sorry, I haven't heard about that. I will check with my supervisor.

Is the rumor of a new site design and browser extension true?
Haha. The above conversation was completely made up. And yes, the new site design and browser extension are coming very soon. With the browser extension you'll just go straight to Amazon et al and not need to go back and forth to spendbitcoins.com.

Bitcoin is not at all a competitor to paypal because it doesn't offer chargebacks. Paypal is all about buyer safety, same with credit cards. Bitcoin is maybe a competitor to Western Union/MoneyGram/Ukash/PSC
Most people who use paypal, or credit cards for that matter, don't need the consumer protection services. Bitcoin is, most certainly, a real threat to both these business models.
They might not always need to use it but it's still there should something go wrong and that's the reason they are the #1 online payment methods in the world. If it was so unimportant these companies would ditch buyer protection but of course they never will that would be suicide for them.
Paypal is growing (unfortunately) they just put out press releases on how huge their international traffic is getting. http://www.internetretailing.net/2012/01/paypals-international-business-overtakes-its-home-market-for-the-first-time/
That said bitcoins are perfect for countries like India/Pak where paypal is banned. If you want to promote bitcoin concentrate on those countries merchants there would love a decentralized money system their corrupt governments can't get at that has no rules
Paypal and CC's have consumer credit protection clauses because they are required by law. They have done so well primarily because there really hasn't been much choice in the matter. Not that CC's are simply going to go away, but bitcoin really is a threat to much of the business that the presently do receive.

Not because it's not in their own interests, but only because Amazon is an American corporation, and thus a creation of the state. The ire of government is likely the only thing that Amazon fears.
True indeed.
You might want to bet on this one8. So far bitcoin users don't look too convinced Amazon would embrace bitcoin any soon
Don't look too convinced? Amazon accepting Bitcoin by March is about as likely as Hollywood deciding to embrace piracy...

This guy just pulled out of E3 because he doesn't like the ESA supporting SOPA. He claims that Occupy Wall Street and things like that are really meaningful to him. This might actually be a good opportunity for bitcoin if we can communicate to them the philosophical reasons to accept and support the technology.

Everyone who uses Bitcoins should really try to send a few emails to companies they like
asking them when they will start using them.
When it comes to small-medium sized companies or websites 5 emails during a year
can really make a difference. Most of them actually got nothing to lose only to gain from it.
Sent email to:
http://www.pledgemusic.com/
Suggested bitcoin as a feature improvement.
Told them that I would rather give Bitcoins to the artists than to a payment service (I mean money.)
and that they would have zero risc of chargebacks.
"Hi there
Thanks for the suggestion, we will ask our transactions team about this.
Team Pledge"

I sent an email to these guys to see if they will accept Bitcoins: http://www.irs.gov/
I will let you know.
I dare someone to send a private key loaded with Bitcoins with instructions on how to redeem it to the IRS as their yearly tax payment.I will let you know.
That would be awesome. Casascius..?
