I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get a mining rig. I've spoken directly with the company, and they've indicated that if I purchase now, I can expect delivery the first week of August. According to the profitability calculator, I should be able to repay the loan within 30-45 days in full.
I have, however, set the term of the loan to 365 days so as to allow for comfortable repayment of the loan should the device flat out not work. Assuming that the rig works as advertised, expect early repayment. If it doesn't, expect prompt payments on due dates.
https://btcjam.com/listings/5695About Me: I run SiliconANGLE, an enterprise tech network that was one of the first to report on Bitcoin, and continues to cover the space (you can find some of my reports here:

I'm an active investor on BTC Jam (I've invested well over 20 BTC in three months), and I have no desire to ruin my good name on the site (plus, like any active investor there, I know what it's like to be burned and don't want to inflict it on others).
