This treasure ,sometime have owners and sometime mysterious story tagged with it. But it was all the part of history.......... But wait In modern days it still happens.Before we start, we must know that thousands of bicoins went under missing either by system crash or hijacks. But in this post we are talking about a person who was damned unlucky and threw off 7,500 Bitcoins that he mined.
JAMES HOWELLS
Missing: hard drive containing Bitcoins worth £4m in Newport landfill site
It is a prime example of badluck but no one can do anything about this,apart from wait and watch. James Howels is a tech savvy and the interest in internet made him to learn about cryptos. After a beginner achievement he went to mine some bitcoin. He mined nearly 7,500 bitcoins in just a week which tells that how easily we can mine it in early phases but now its like more electricity,more space. His potato laptop gets overcooked sometimes and noisy sound of laptop's fan made James's Girl friend to slam James for such things. He stopped mining.
As the laptop gets old and lemonade spilled on it accidentally made James to dismantle it and throw it. However,he kept the hard drive for future use. In Mid 2013 ,he went on cleaning drawers where one more time he accidentally threw off his hard drive which finally rested in peace in Newport landfill site. After 4 months,he went to the landslide in a hope to find the hard drive. Permission was granted but its too hard for him to find a small hard drive in a football - sized pitch with just a shovel.
He requested the local bodies to find it out for him and around 15 mans with 2 diggers were needed,but with no guarantee of getting hard drive back ,local bodies refused to do. James finally signed that he will never find it again. This let other peoples to start gathering at landfill site to find that hard drive and get rich. Finally Newport landfill site staff restricted the search of hard drive and the story ends in no justice way. A foolish step of James Howell let him to think about that hard drive life long.
