Lost Bitcoins Man is still trying

Yep, badly.

I noticed it first*- a chemical smell, vaguely ammonia, but not quite. The wife said I was going mad. About a week later other people started noticing it. They put some new conditions on the removal people at that point.

The new housing estate house owners have some sort of covenant that they're not supposed to grow vegetables, so I've been told.

I have many friends/colleagues who live next to Walley's Quarry which keeps making the News, it's horrid 24/7.
We even get the smell at the hospital about 3 miles away.

The annoying bit is. Even though his claim is probably baseless the council have to counter it. If he were to take them to court it could end up costing them millions and has already probably cost thousands.

I believe him, I've read his stories from the beginning.
I also don't get why people say he should sue his ex?
She was just doing the normal jobs of taking stuff to the tip etc and he doesn't blame her.

I doubt most people throw away old drives etc anyway? I've still got 10gb ones etc in the cupboard for no reason at all

I do, loads of them over the decades, I just got rid of quite a lot of HDDs, SSDs and phones but I said above, I hit them with a 14lb sledgehammer first.

He's assembled a team of landfill specialists, data recovery people, investors etc.. it's not like he's just proposing that he turns up with some mates and a bit of equipment and make a big mess, it does seem to have taken some serious planning:

Thanks for that, so there's people there who have done this before on a much larger scale.
 
Here's a couple of questions:

1) In my Coinbase I had £1.27 two months ago and it is now on £1.89 which is massive increase but if let's say we called it £189,000 how would I turn that into pounds in my normal bank?

2) If I go in my Coinbase on my APP or on my PC I can get my bitcoin from anywhere, how is this blokes Bitcoin on his drive or does he mean his passwords are on the drive?

The problem is that by now it could be under forty feet of rubbish, the size of several football pitches. Finding it would be impossible without pretty much emptying the landfill. No one is going to lend him the money to do that. And where is he going to put the rubbish he has processed before he can move it back?

Watch Dowie's video, all explained and stuff these people have done before.

Honestly this guy is just plain dumb! something worth that much just doesn't get, chucked about the house!
How about putting something that valuable in a safe? Unfortunately I've no sympathy for him what's so ever.

No common ******* sense seriously! People are skint right now and this guy is still going in about his lost money! due to him being plain ******* stupid!

Tell us you haven't read the full story :)

Clue, it was worth virtually nothing when he took it out of his laptop.
When it was worth something he went to look for it and realised what he had done.

I don't get his whole claim that AI is going to given them an area to dig - one would assume that the "AI" needs to be fed variables to make a suggestion; such as the date it was disposed of at a tip, the date it was taken to landfill, location etc etc etc - but surely, if the Council make a mistake with any of that data, his AI hopes are dead in the water.

The AI is the scanning software, they already know the area they want to dig up.
When the rubbish is put on the conveyor the AI scans it.

That sounds rather like a bit of pie in the sky, as you'll need to very carefully separate the stuff for any "AI" to have a hope of ID'ing it, you wouldn't be able to put a bag of rubbish on at random, you'll need people or equipment (and it'll almost certainly be humans) to prep the junk so that it can be placed in such a way that the "AI"* isn't looking ad a random clump of junk that is stuck together and likely not the colour it was trained to recognise.

It says in the video they have to separate it but the size can be put into the AI and help with viewing it when it goes past.

Even if they could find this HDD, after all this time there would be oodles of assorted liquids that would have dribbled onto it, it would be dead as the proverbial dodo.

If some of you could bother to watch the video you'll see that 'experts' are involved who have recovered data off drives in worst states.
He has got together a team of experts who have done similar things and the people who will fund it.
The only major problem I see for the public, and having massive experience of a site close to me that friends are having problems with, is the smell when they start removing the landfill, I would hate for any one to go through what my friends go through every day.

Even if the council said - yes - go for it....

He's claiming it's narrowed down to a section of the landfill with 100,000 tons in it.

How exactly is he going to search 100,000 tons of rubbish? On his hands and knees for the next 100 years?

Get a grip.... He "accidentally" threw it out, it's no ones fault but his own.... He's just wasting everyones time.

Go further back in this thread and there is a video of his sponsors showing how it will be done because they've done similar stuff before.
