最新报道:James Howells, a UK computer engineer, has abandoned his 12-year legal battle to recover a hard drive containing 8,000 bitcoins (worth £620M) accidentally discarded in a Newport landfill in 2013. After failed court appeals—including an AI-assisted case—and a rejected £495M compensation claim, Newport Council now demands £117,000 in legal fees from Howells. The council plans to close the landfill by 2025-26 but refuses further negotiations until payment. Instead, Howells is launching Ceiniog Coin (INI), a new cryptocurrency backed by the inaccessible bitcoin wallet's value, with experts noting the blockchain's transparency validates the underlying asset.
