The recent payment was a current funds discharge to all verified shareholding addresses. It was requested by a major stakeholder and there were no objections.

The current state of affairs is as follows:
- The BTC mine is still running under the 10% guaranteed yield agreement. The funds stored in the BTC mining address are used to cover operating expenses. The remainder is the realized yield, which will eventually make its way into the payout. The cooling units provided with the HF units are continually failing. A request for RMA with CoolIT failed, quoting a "special agreement" with HashFast. We requested a copy of that agreement, but it was not provided and we were referred to HashFast. It must be assumed that CoolIT is not interested in providing a warranty service on their product. The mining operator is working on salvaging third party parts to create low cost solutions to revive some of the HashFast units, which according to the operator is a slow but successful process.
- The Cryptomex database was provided for inspection. The payouts to cryptomex accounts will have to be verified manually using the tracing information contained in the blockchain. Once that is done, we can determine which accounts got paid and we can also associate old accounts with new cryptomex accounts.
- Willem and DeaDTerra filed claims which are currently looked at. They were asked to provide information about the underlying value transaction to establish a proper trail.
- There were no further attempts to establish any other company activity. This is why one of the stakeholder inquired about liquidation and bankruptcy filings.
- Willem and the IceDrill sysadmin have filed expenses last year to account for all major expense items paid out of IceDrill accounts. The expense filings are consistent with normal business expenses.
- I, myself, have limited time left to inspect the materials of the company and nobody is getting paid for this anyway. The problem is some of the items contain sensitive information, so a public release cannot be provided. If we hire a professional to look into this issue, it's likely gonna consume all remaining assets. So we're stuck in a slow processing.

Was there a biggish payment today?

It's already 6th. Any sign of "dividends" ?

Cranking them up to 11 now, thank you!

And how do I chose an address to send money from in bitcoin-qt ?!

You're in the bucket "to be dealt with on a case by case basis". If you want faster processing please use the procedure outlined previously.

First ever (?) dividend was sent today:

Thanks 29750f0e1c2fbb3bb !

I need to see a connection between the bitfunder account and the claim - and the best way for me is to that is to ask you to actually use the address. I can start making exceptions if need be, but please understand that there are >200 potentially active shareholder accounts and I want to keep the accounts as consistent as possible. Please PM me with your bitfunder address and a bitfunder signed message of the new account address you were using for cryptomex. I will then swap your BTC address on file after I verify the signature.

I will check with CMX and check what the status of the payouts are and with Will to see if we can give you guys another update.

Isn't it sad that so much time has passed that I have already crossed these coins off my balance that this is just becoming funny now... I'll never see the 2.5 btc again.

They are paying themselves with your BTC as if they are working on all this bogus projects and in process milking whatever is left, so at the end it will look like as if the company ran out of funds wile performing its day to day operations. As far as investors go, here is a illustrations of where you currently stand.
