That project seems pretty much dead, running on fumes. A message from mid-2024 after a year of silence:
>At this point all of the areas we are working on could progress much faster with money for hiring people. That was not always the case…
>Also, we could disclose a lot more if we could file patents for what we still have as internal ideas, but that requires money as well.
And in 2020:
>In some ways the plague [COVID] is much less a problem for the Mill project than for other businesses. We have always been a distributed virtual company, so we already had work-from-home worked out. And as a sweat-equity organization with a burn rate of zero we have an infinite runway, while so many others are shut down and going bust.
At some point (now), you have to give up on the hope for a white knight to show up and fund you, and just go the H&P way and publish what you are working on. No one will steal your inventions.
