BitHashMiner was a textbook case of a vaporware scam. They offered a single product, also called a BitHashMiner, which was a preorder mining rig with supernatural specs at an unrealistically low price.

Hardware

The rig itself featured 10 Thash/s for $1,000, with 25 20nm 400 Ghash/s ASIC chips.[1] There is a screen on the miner depicting a CGMiner instance with two graphics cards Scrypt mining.[1][2] There are also two 750W power supplies, which weigh about 5 pounds each, meaning that the casing, fans, and chips must weigh less than 0 pounds, and would float away without the power supplies weighing them down.[1][3]

The rigs were offered with free shipping and a five year warranty, and were expected to ship in April.[1][4]
