纽波特（Newport

威尔士纽波特的一个垃圾填埋场，一名男子在2025-26财政年度失去了一个装有8,000个比特币的硬盘驱动器。

A man's hopes of retrieving 8,000 Bitcoins, currently valued at over £620 million, are fading as the landfill site in Newport where he lost a hard drive containing the cryptocurrency is set to close by 2026.

一个人希望取回8,000个比特币（目前价值超过6.2亿英镑）的希望正在淡化为纽波特的垃圾填埋场地，在那里他失去了包含加密货币的硬盘驱动器，到2026年将关闭。

James Howells has been battling in court for years to try and reclaim his device from the site. He said he accidentally threw the hard drive away in 2013.

詹姆斯·豪威尔斯（James Howells）在法庭上已经在法庭上战斗了多年，试图从现场收回他的设备。他说，他在2013年不小心扔了硬盘驱动器。

The landfill site has been operating since the early 2000s, according to Newport council documents, and is now coming to the end of its operational life.

根据纽波特委员会的文件，自2000年代初以来，垃圾填埋场就一直在运营，现在即将结束其运营生活。

The council said the site will be closed with final capping operations over the next two years, in line with its planned closure strategy and long term waste management strategy.

该理事会表示，该网站将在未来两年内通过最终的封盖操作关闭，这与计划的关闭策略和长期废物管理策略一致。

The household waste recycling centre to the north of the site will remain open.

现场北部的家庭废物回收中心将保持开放。

The closure of the landfill site is set to have an impact on the city's finances, with the council expecting to lose £777,000 in income next year and a further £198,000 the following year.

垃圾填埋场现场的关闭将对该市的财务产生影响，理事会预计明年的收入将损失777,000英镑，第二年再损失198,000英镑。

The solar farm, which was approved in August 2024, will provide electricity for the local authority and is set to be operational by the end of next year. The council now has seven electric bin lorries in operation and plans to replace its entire diesel fleet in the coming years.

该太阳能农场于2024年8月获得批准，将为地方当局提供电力，并将在明年年底之前运营。该委员会现在有7辆电力仓卡车正在运营，并计划在未来几年内取代其整个柴油车队。

The subject of Bitcoins that have been lost over the years continues to be of interest in the financial world.

多年来丢失的比特币的主题继续在金融界感兴趣。

Head of Tether Paolo Ardoino has suggested that advances in quantum computing could eventually allow cryptocurrencies to be accessed from abandoned wallets. Investors may begin selling their assets as access to previously forgotten Bitcoin funds becomes available, putting pressure on Bitcoin prices.

Tether Paolo Ardoino的负责人建议，量子计算的进步最终可以从废弃的钱包中访问加密货币。投资者可能会开始出售其资产，因为可以使用以前被遗忘的比特币基金，对比特币价格施加压力。

The closure of the landfill site makes it increasingly unlikely that Mr Howells will ever be able to recover his Bitcoins.

垃圾填埋场的关闭使霍威尔先生越来越不可能恢复他的比特币。
