The value of the digital currency at the time was about $ 130,<br> but the value of the unit now exceeds $ 12.5 thousand dollars.\n\nThis means that the value of the configuration saved on the hard drive was about 975 thousand dollars while the disposal of the hard disk,<br> while currently worth about 93 million and 750 thousand dollars.\n\n\"After I stopped digging for my currency,<br> my laptop crashed and I sold on Ebay,<br> but I kept the hard drive in a drawer in the house because I know that it has keys in my configuration,<br> so if the decomposition is of value one day I'll still have it,<br>\" Hoyles told the Telegraph newspaper. Currencies that have been violated. \"\n\nHe adds that in mid-2013 during the removal from the house,<br> the hard disk was accidentally thrown and placed in the general waste container in the local landfill,<br> and then buried in the site under the rubble. Noting that he had forgotten the hard drive because he was \"distracted by family life and moving from home.\"\n\nHoyles says he began to \"explore\" his formation in 2009,<br> using his computer to solve complex mathematical dilemmas to win awards. But is currently thinking of digging into the landfill to find the missing hard drive.\n\nThe modern landfill is a complex engineering project,<br> and its exploration brings with it all kinds of environmental hazards such as dangerous gases and potential waste incinerators. Therefore,<br> the project of waste excavation is a big,<br> expensive and dangerous matter,<br> according to him.\n\nThe story of Hoyles is not unique,<br> as the editor of Gizmodo Australia,<br> Campbell Simpson,<br> said that in 2012 delivered a solid disk consisting of 1400 composition,<br> indicating that it cost A $ 25,<br> but the value today exceeds $ 17 million.\n\nSource:\nhttps:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/5060459\/it-workers-discarded-hard-drive-full-of-bitcoin-is-buried-in-landfill-and-could-be-worth-74million\/",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"bitcoin\",<br>\"cryptocurrency\",<br>\"steemit\",<br>\"crypto-news\",<br>\"crypto\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPn8LouwjwRdxygtXuLvGTTCSSgnQwkGHP1VstSVcC8EZ\/image.png\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/5060459\/it-workers-discarded-hard-drive-full-of-bitcoin-is-buried-in-landfill-and-could-be-worth-74million\/\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
