37-year-old IT specialist James Howells from the British city of Newport, Wales, decided to use the help of robot dogs to find a lost disk with #bitcoins worth 340 million pound sterling. In 2013, Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive with bitcoins when transferring data from an old #computer to a new one. Soon he realized his mistake and decided to start searching. After studying aerial photographs of the local landfill, he was able to identify an area of 200 square meters and a depth of 15 meters, where the loss may be. The Briton also found an investor willing to cover the costs of expensive equipment for a long—term search - according to his estimate, the procedure could take from nine to twelve months. The man tried to get permission to search from the city council, but he was refused. However, the refusal did not stop Howells, and he sought advice from data recovery experts from #NASA, who assessed the possibility of extracting information from the hard drive. In their opinion, the data is very likely to be recovered. The Briton continues to improve his plan, despite the fall in the bitcoin #exchange rate and the unwavering position of the city council. Now he has decided to involve robot dogs in the operation, which will guard the territory during the excavation so that no one interferes with the process. Directly rummaging through the garbage, according to Howells' plan, should be a mechanical arm controlled by artificial intelligence. When she filters out items similar to the disk, people will start sorting them. The man expects that the search will take from 9 to 12 months. #CryptoCurrency #bitcoin #hardDrive
