詹姆斯·豪威尔（James Howell）试图在垃圾填埋场中错误地找到他的8,000美元的BTC，旨在在遵守法律和环境法规的同时取回硬盘。

A UK man who accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoin in 2013 is now considering purchasing the landfill where it was dumped, the BBC reported.

英国广播公司报道，一名英国男子不小心在2013年扔掉了一个装有8,000比特币的硬盘驱动器，现在正在考虑购买被抛弃的垃圾填埋场。

James Howells' decade-long search for the lost cryptocurrency has taken a new turn after his legal battle to gain access to the site failed. But he isn't giving up on recovering his fortune, now valued at $784 million.

詹姆斯·豪威尔斯（James Howells）长达十年的搜索失落的加密货币在他的法律斗争中获得了新的转折，以获取该网站的机会失败。但是他并没有放弃恢复自己的财富，现在价值7.84亿美元。

According to Howells, his ex-girlfriend mistook the hard drive for rubbish and discarded it, leading it to end up in Newport's Docks Way landfill.

据豪威尔斯说，他的前女友误以为垃圾并丢弃了垃圾，导致它最终进入了纽波特的码头之路垃圾填埋场。

Over the years, he has repeatedly approached Newport Council to ask for permission to conduct a search but was largely ignored. However, with Bitcoin's value continuing to surge, his determination to retrieve the lost crypto has only grown stronger.

多年来，他多次与纽波特委员会（Newport Council）寻求允许进行搜查，但在很大程度上被忽略了。但是，随着比特币的价值不断增长，他对丢失的加密货币的决心只越来越强。

Earlier this year, Howells attempted to sue Newport Council for $646 million, the peak valuation of the bitcoin in early 2024, arguing that their refusal to let him excavate the site had cost him a fortune. However, a judge dismissed his case in January.

今年早些时候，豪威尔斯（Howells）试图以6.46亿美元的价格起诉纽波特委员会（Newport Council），该委员会在2024年初的比特币估值高峰估值，认为他们拒绝让他挖掘该地点使他付出了巨大的损失。但是，法官在一月份驳回了他的案子。

Facing legal roadblocks, he has now turned to investors with the idea of purchasing the landfill outright. Even if Howells manages to secure funding, time is not on his side.

面对法律障碍，他现在转向投资者，以直接购买垃圾填埋场的想法。即使豪威尔斯设法获得资金，时间也不在他身边。

The council plans to shut down the landfill in the coming financial year and has already received planning approval to develop a solar power farm on the land. This could make any future excavation attempts even more challenging.

该理事会计划在未来的财政年度关闭垃圾填埋场，并已获得计划批准，以在土地上开发太阳能农场。这可能会使未来的发掘尝试更具挑战性。

Whether he succeeds in reclaiming his lost fortune or not, his decade-long pursuit of 8,000 Bitcoins remains one of the most intriguing lost treasure stories of the crypto era.

无论他是否成功地夺回了自己的财富，他对8,000个比特币的长达十年追求仍然是加密时代中最有趣的失落宝藏故事之一。

Searching through the landfill is a monumental task. According to the BBC, the landfill holds more than 1.4 million tonnes of waste, and Howells estimates the hard drive is buried within 100,000 tonnes of it.

搜索垃圾填埋场是一项艰巨的任务。根据英国广播公司（BBC）的说法，垃圾填埋场占有140万吨的废物，霍维尔斯估计，硬盘驱动器将埋藏在其中的100,000吨以内。
