Hi,
Thank you for the questions.
1, I will have more info on that by next week. Hopefully within a couple of weeks, we don't want to rush things but we are working on it.
2, We are considering it, as I have understood it, it is a matter of tuning the software to P2Pool. The software we are using is early on, hopefully it will be improved over time. We are keeping P2Pool in mind and in the long term it is one of the solutions we are considering together with solo mining, and split pool mining.
3, We are currently actively negotiating with them regarding the delayed shipping, it is a process but we are making progress. Please be patient as soon as we have something solid and signed, we will tell you guys how it will affect the public share holder and the IceDrill project.
4, My personal opinion is that in terms of BTC it will be hard to break even short term due to the massive difficulty increase and the delays we have encountered, but that in the long term through hard work, reinvestment and innovation, I hope we should be able to break even in BTC terms. I am personally a public and private investor, I as much as anyone want to see this venture succeed.

Hi DeaDTerra, thanks again for taking the time to answer the groups questions. Could you do us another favour? The next time you talk to Willem (or whoever), could you kindly ask him WTF he/they have been doing for the last three months while we were all waiting for HF to deliver?
I understand that those running the show don't want to rush things, that software needs tuning, that an automated dividend payout system and a method for "real-time" monitoring of the stats is in the works but not completed. But really now, it's not as if the schedule was pushed ahead by 3 months causing a crunch of the projected timeline. It was extended three months, so really, what
is going on behind the scenes? I get the feeling that absolutely nothing was done in preparation. It's as if everyone sat around shrugging with this idea that there's nothing to do until a miner shows up.
