[2021-07-08] The search for HDD worth $378 million at the landfill will continue - page 2.

Everyone already knows the story of the Briton James Howells who threw his laptop into the landfill with 7,500 BTC. After unsuccessfully trying to negotiate with the Newport City Council for 25% of the amount stored on the hard drive, "Even if we were able to agree to his request, the question arises as to who would cover the costs if the hard drive was not found or was damaged to such an extent that the data could not be restored" - the Newport City Council replied to him. James Howells claims that his ambitious plan has received financial support from a hedge fund that will claim part of the giant amount. Now he plans to start a 12 month search at a landfill containing 400,000 tons of garbage, for this purpose artificial intelligence-based scanners, X-ray scanners and other high-tech tools will be deployed.
