Please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361930.msg7133625#msg7133625 for latest information.

ActiveMining is currently under investigation from Missouri Securities Division.

Until the investigation concludes; 99% of trading and all dividends are suspended.

Please do not be offended if I delete your post!!! Most of the deleted posts are simply me consolidating information to make the thread have a higher signal:noise ratio!

This thread is not a replacement for any other ActiveMining thread, but rather a gathering of information. Feel free to post information or even ask questions.

Questions that have no answer will be considered information because a negative can still tell a story.

Because I want the thread to be very high density in information, I may delete valid posts and consolidate the information on the front page. I will leave long discussions alone as long as they are making decent progress in developing an idea and it would be difficult for me to take that discussion and summarize the facts.

See my "Notes" post below to see opinions on the information.

Please note that some information is speculation and other information is confirmed by Ken. If it's confirmed by Ken I will quote the appropriate post.

What is the expected timeline for chips?
Based on Ken's responses in the thread, the current estimate is around January.

Quote from: kslaughter

I want the whole month of December and January.

When can we expect trading to begin on CryptoTrade?
This estimate was made on the 8/9th December 2013:
The security is ready but the time consuming part is Ken setting up the process where we can claim shares and this being loaded into accounts on the CryptoTrade platform. My own estimate is within the next 10 days.

When can we expect dividend payouts to resume?
This estimate was made on the 8/9th December 2013:
Once all the shares are allocated on CryptoTrade dividend payments should resume.
One unknown is what happens if there are lots of unallocated shares for a long time? I assume Ken will hold back the dividend for those shares until the shareholders go through the process, and this should not affect us. Therefore we might get the dividend in the first week once we trade.

What 'product' was sent out to the customer?
This estimate was made on the 8/9th December 2013:
Due to the fact that the large manual payments have stopped being added into the mining address we can assume the shipped product was infact a miner using the eASIC chips. However nothing can be confirmed until a customer receives this product and posts a tear down analysis on the forum.
Another possibility:

Just going to make a little prediction here - the products which shipped were probably Fast-Hash-80's which are the avalon clones.

Has Ken got a solution to the funds being held/lost by Ukyo?
We believe Ken will seize Ukyo's shares in ActiveMining as an exchange for the lost funds.

The fact that he can seize Ukyo's shares is actually good news.

Bitfunder/WeExchange Problems:

We have ~106 BTC in the Bitfunder/WeExchange system which we can not obtain. We have sent Bitfunder's/WeExchange's Ukyo a Legal Demand For Payment within 72 hours. We expect this problem to result in the loss of the 106 BTC. We are meeting with our Lawyers to determine what our next steps will be. This 106 BTC has been deducted from our liquid cash position above.

Please note that if the shares are sold off too low or too fast we may never get that 106 Bitcoin back.

What is intellihash?

IntelliHash

I can't see how intellihash could possibly work... the only thing it possibly could be is an over-clocking utility. It cannot change a chip (Ken said it would work on avalons too), it cannot fake proof-of-work (and if it can, bitcoin is broken), so the only option is an over-clocking utility. Which would be coherent with the 20% increase quoted, as that would be about the max you could reliably overclock.

TLDR; IntelliHash is, in my judgement, an overclocking utility.

Perhaps this is on the right track?

3rd August [source] - Ken returns from his trip to eASIC and the Engineering firm
4th August [source] - Ken posts to say he is busy working on eASIC deal
(sometime before August 28th) [used for guesstimates below] - NRE Funds paid
28th August [source] - Ken confirms NRE funds were converted 'some time ago'
4th September [source] - eASIC issue press release
12th September [source] - Avalon refund confirmed as having been received
1st November [original guesstimate] - Chip samples delivered in 9 weeks;
30th October [source] - Ken announces gradual hashrate increase including 'other resources' [source]
25th November [original guesstimate] - Low-volume chip production starting in 12 weeks, using an e-beam process;
30th November [source] - Ken announces delays due to further R&D and upcoming Intellihash(tm) technology
12th December [source] - Weekly announcement states "we are continuing to bring in all the parts for mass production of our miners"
18th December [source] - Weekly announcement states "working with eASIC and our engineers to get our chip and boards in full production"
25th December [source] - Weekly announcement states "working on assembling [for] when our boards and chips arrive"
24th December - 9th January [original guesstimate] - Normal volume chip production starting in 16-18 weeks.
1st January [source] - Weekly announcement states "The new year looks bright ... as we continue to assemble our miners for quick delivery"
9th January [source] - Weekly announcement states "engineers are still designing our board ... hired ... competent RTL design team to make sure ... Low-Power and ... most speed from the chip"
15th January [source] - Weekly announcement states "in San Jose working with our partners ... The RTL problem has been solved ..."
27th February - 10th March - assuming an 8 week delay (from Jan 9) or 12 week delay (from Nov 30), chips may be forthcoming at this point in time

* Note: As of 30th November, probable delays have been introduced into the timeline.

(I will be trying to keep this updated as more facts are revealed. In an effort to keep this thread tidy, please PM me with any suggestions.)
