He assumed the worst case, and still came up with 3 months earlier than your doom-and-gloom predictions. Please stop spreading FUD and go play somewhere else.

He didn't assume the worst case at all, he assumed the best case and that's just for the sample chips as clearly stated by Ken:

What are the current plans for chip development?
ActiveMining is in the process of gathering necessary funds for paying NRE costs on its 28nm chip. We hope these funds to be gathered soon, so that chip production can start as soon as possible. Estimated dates after NRE payment are:

Chip samples delivered in 9 weeks;
Low-volume chip production starting in 12 weeks, using an e-beam process;
Normal volume chip production starting in 16-18 weeks.

The funds were not gathered until the end of July / beginning of August, and it's unknown when the NRE costs were paid. In the best case scenario, NRE costs would have been paid at the beginning of August and normal volume shipping would be January. You can deny this as much as you want, but that's based on the info given to us directly by Ken.

nre costs were paid in full on 5/17

please stop posting misinformation

That's clearly the NDA, which is clearly not confirmation of the payment of the NRE costs. Try again when you actually have a clue about what is being discussed. Ken has not stated when the NRE costs were paid but it must have been some time in August.
