 | I was commenting on one post and this just came up to my mind. Have you ever heard of one of the most depressing stories in the crypto community? In his city he is known as "Bitcoin guy". Something that really bothers him for the last 10 years. A little over 10 years ago, James Howells, a software engineer, accidentally threw away his hard drive containing nearly 8,000 Bitcoins - currently worth around $233 million dollars. He says that he is probably on of the first people who mined Bitcoin, when the value was worth nothing. James stated that he had two identical laptop hard drives and the wrong drive ended up in the trash. For many years James hoped to be able to find the lost hard drive with Bitcoins on it, he even said that he was willing to donate 25% of the value of the bitcoins to his home city of Newport in south Wales in case they let him search the landfill with his team. The last I heard from him is that he hopes that with the help of AI, "robot dogs" and data recovery experts, he will be able to find the lost Bitcoins. The search, as he said, would last from 9 to 12 months. Of course, council consistently refused his requests to search the landfill and they weren't in the mood to entertain his ideas.
There is even a video-interview with Richard Hammond meeting him and talking about his story - the guy who lost a fortune. [link] [comments] |
