RE: Man who ‘threw away’ bitcoin haul now worth over $80m wants to dig up landfill site 'It’s a big, expensive and risky project,' says James Howells, from Newport

in #bitcoin7 years ago

How exactly would he recover them? The coins don't live on the hard drive. They live on the blockchain. So he had them in a wallet that he knows the password to? Maybe? I dunno.

Assuming the hard drive isn't damaged beyond repair they could be exported?
