I'm batch 4. No word on when they'll be issued other than 'soon'. I live in Washington state so I'm going to go on a tour there scheduled for Dec 6th. If anyone has any questions you'd like me to ask them I'll do my best (no guarantees)

to get them answered.
You should ask them what they are required to report to the IRS (if anything) for tax purposes about our mining payouts. For US citizens obviously.
