Hi, Everybody!

Well, it concerns me maybe getting money, so:

Eddie Khanna emailed me:

Hey Matt sending you the final version of the spreadsheet with the calculations for the Aug Diamond purchase order. Let me know if you have problems accessing it or formatting issues, understanding it, etc.

The 2 sheets I think Dave wants posted are
DIA 8-24 SOCIH? royals and DIA 8-24 GER royals

which show the breakdown for contributors share from this PO on AV books using a) 4% vs b) an equal split with AV. Dave probably faxed you the sheets already, but here they are in electronic format.

And here's my fax to Dave
---------------------------
08 SEP 2024

Hi Dave (and Matt Dow)

I’m sending the full spreadsheet to Matt Dow to post on AMOC (I take it as a sign that UPS sent a bill to Diamond for $113.82, which Dia will be charging back to AV, as part of the answer to your question about AV’s storage fees) (hopefully you got the info about this UPS bill when I sent it on Thurs, but I just heard that the AV fax was having glitches on PLEASE HOLD) .

So, Basically we have $11,400 cdn - $1361.82 cdn PT’s cost - $225 cdn (approx) Rolly’s cost - $153 cdn UPS scam charge to Dia = about $9,660 cdn (about $7100 USD)

Using the calculations with the gross DIA PO
Total SOCIH? 4% payout = $80.04 USD vs
Total SOCIH? equal split = $704.80 USD

Total Ger 4% payout = $216.72 USD vs
Total Ger equal split = $2,709.00 USD

I don’t think there’s any way to do the percentages of which trade is taking up how much space at how much cost/month. Just part of the AV overhead.

(It would be NICE if AV could clear at least $5000 USD on a $8400 DIA Po that only came once after God knows how many years) ( and who knows when it will again; I’m not holding my breath).

Any update on the HumbleBundle payout? Or did we need to, like prompt them or something?
-Eddie

 And Dave responds:

I mean, I DID send Dave a letter the LAST time this came up, stating that I'm waving my "cut" of any royalties. 

'course, that's when my share was under a hundred bucks...

(No, no. Stay strong Matt. It's taking cat food money out of Dave mouth.)

Which I'ma stickin' with. No royalties demanded. (If AV wants to send me a check, I'ma not THAT stupid...I'll take it.)

Anyway, Dave sent:

Okay. 

Ha! Classic.

Rigamarole:
