called it.. people would rummage through piles of cash for that money, especially if they would stampede a retail store to save $100 on a TV.

And imagine if it comes out that the story is a hoax. Then James Howells goes into history as the man who made thousands dig through a land fill.  :D

Evidence or it never happened! :)

How do we even know the guy is telling the truth? It could be just a big hoax.

I know it's bad, but I feel pretty smug right now even though I only have a measly 0.2BTC :P

lol! :P I told you I was unemployed, I'm getting there though, my stash is slowly building thanks to all these juicy dividends and altcoins popping up everywhere ;) but hey, at least I wasn't dumb enough to dump my hard drive in a landfill.

As far as I'm concerned, when I can get 0.1BTC a day or the equivalent in Litecoin then I'll have made it for sure.
