Actually my son did. FYI, he is 25 so it's not like he's a kid. But he got a loan (excellent credit and job) for $6k and "bought" the Leopard from Xtreme. Feb 17th was the advertised delivery date, and now it looks like Jan is delayed, so it stinks like a scam even more.

But the real reason I am here is to ask:

WHat are the fastest AVAILABLE BTC miners where I could get one right away (or minimal delay) ?

Butterfly is MArch delivery, which sets us back even further. But they are very well established.
Avalon? idk
KnC is a long wait, and pretty pricy. I am going to bankroll the purchase, but looking to keep it around $3k or less.

TIA!
