Who said there were problems? Last time I checked we were on schedule.
Might want to fix your watch/calender
I'd like to see your "functioning" watch/calender.
Just like the rest of the lazy ass shareholders on here I have to do the work for you.
NRE Stated as Funded - July 20th, 2013
The NRE, which I believe is the most important and most critical, to the success of the project has been funded. This is a great time for the company and all of its shareholders.
+ 9 Weeks (Chip Samples)- 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.
You base your "functioning" calendar off of the assumption that the copy/pasted eASIC timeline starts when Ken posts? Ken has not specified when that "9 weeks" starts.
Examples of laziness below:
Speaking of business plan...
You stated this:
What are the current plans for chip development?ActiveMining is developing a 28nm Bitcoin mining chip using
eASIC.
- 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.
Does this timeline start at the completion of the NRE payment?
No
Does this timeline start at the time of the post?
No
Everyone understands that obviously the "Timeline" didn't start at this point. eASIC doesn't just bullshit it's customers with their timelines (Hell their whole business model revolves around guaranteed/short timelines). However this is all we have to go on so it is where it will start unless Ken directly says that they started 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc... afterwards.
If the prototype actually does come at the end of this month (week 3) it would mean that eASIC started around September 23, 2013 or just about 9 weeks AFTER the NRE was paid.
If Ken said this was true then yes we would be on perfect timing with eASIC however I believe I heard Ken wanted to get prototypes in October if I do recall.
Fast-Hash-One shipping is October/November 2013
Good try though!
This whole thing started here:
What problems could they really be having? eASIC knows how to make ASICs... the only thing that would make this not work is if the hash generating logic was wrong.

Might want to fix your watch/calender
I was just being clear that your watch/calender doesn't have any magical indicator that we're NOT on track. Devices CAN be shipping inside November still (low production, of course), and they can certainly be mining - given that in all likely hood we will be mining on a prototype by the end of next week.
If you assert to know something that the rest of us don't you'll be called to account. In this case, you do not. Also, there isn't any need for the childish hostilities. I'm no mindless fanboy. Ken could very well be behind, but we just don't know that yet.
I'd like to apologize if I came off as rude or hostile. I'd like to contribute to an honest flow of information here, not the incessant trolling we're used to.
Cheers.
