A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Watch, as he leaps financial regulations in a single bound! Transactions, faster than a speeding pizza delivery!

Damn, beat me to it. I would bet 10,500 buttcoins that at least 75% of people who see that headline immediately thought the same thing too.

~~Bitcoin man~~ ~~Florida man~~ Piltdown man

It's an ongoing cycle...

I think the greatest ending to this story would be if an employee at that landfill found it (either by digging for it on their lunch breaks or just random chance) and was able to use it.

By now it's probably a really smelly paperweight, and Bitcoin Man would be bugging them endlessly even to regain ownership over that 🤷

I think we're living the best ending where it's never going to be recovered, and this dude is flailing ever more futilely at courts...
