Hello, I'm HMRC and what's this!

Happy meals for everybody!

ealised that the BTC one was using the wrong version (0.9.**, now on 0.12.0). So updated it and moved my wallet.dat file over

I suspect he changed the way btc is displayed in the options and in the new version it reverted back to the old way.

fooled me once too
Its set to mbtc instead of btc?

If he were to convert this to ££££ he would have to declare and pay tax?

Nope. Partly why China fought to shut it down and failed.

Yes, quite possibly - depends on the price when he received the transfer and the price he manages to sell at

as it happens it was at a similar price back then as it is now

I would too, then go and put the 14 Million on Leicester to win the title 5000/1 = RETURNS = 70,014,000,000.00 :cool:

Hope it works out for the OP !!!! Brown pants few days.

Wish I'd got in on this mining malarkey early on but it seemed like a waste of electricity to me at the time. Boat well and truly missed!

Good luck to OP if it's genuine. If it is, do you fancy buying me a new piano?

Malevolence · 1 May 2016 at 21:01

How much does it cost to set-up one of those small wind turbine? Can those things generate enough electricity to run a dedicated mining set-up?

Not sure I'd be able to get over the fact that I threw away millions of £

hlxbravo · 1 May 2016 at 21:06

Haha....some great replies on here guys. In all honesty, in the tradition of GD, I am surprised no one has threatened me with a certain "letterbox" routine, if I don't deal them in

.

I am resigned to the fact that nothing will happen with these apparent funds but I won't be deleting my wallet.dat file anytime soon

. I shall live my life knowing that I once almost owned £14 million, on digital paper anyway.

Ah well, back to work Tuesday after all.

But has anyone actually sold this sort of amount in this volume and made millions of pounds?

You couldn't sell it all at once, but you could sell $50,000 a day without too much trouble.
