What a waste ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . I feel bad just like anybody else here. But that's it, just move on, if nothing else?, so if OP can find a way to recover those stuff which I doubt would be possible given the scenario, then great. Well on a second thought, there was no rush on getting hold of some BTC again, in the first place ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . Even when there is a hard drive failure due to ageing or other factors it is really very hard to recover the files in it so imagine a nail in between the written disc data I strongly believe there is no way ever.

I am a nasty cyber-punk who learned about bitcoin back in 2011
You are a nasty cyber-what? Cyber-punk? Lol. Too bad that in the last 9 years you didn't learn the difference between cypherpunk and cyberpunk. That being said, I highly doubt that you had any connection with the Cypherpunk movement or that you held 30-40 BTC. A cypherpunk would know his nym and certainly he would not misspell it. Besides, cypherpunks would never make such mistakes - to leave precious data unattended.

The story has been bugging me for a while. While feasible (as almost anything taken to the extreme), it’s also pretty improbable. I didn’t see a plausible usage of a hard drive as a tool holder until I came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPMr-OX4bd8As it seems, the magnetic components from within the disk server to hold tools in place, and although it has limited usage (unless on dismembers a bunch of hard drives), it could be that someone would actually do that. What buggers me here is that the language (expressiveness) in the OP is way better than on the rest of the posts written by the OP (that sometimes leads to things ...).

[snip] which my grandfather had hammered into the wall of his garage as a tool holder.
Well, sounds funny because even your grandfather thinking that the hard drive is useless, --what a waste! Supposedly you can buy gift to your grandpa with that 30-40 BTC.
Is this what looks like after your grandfather hammered your hard drive? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FxJ1NOw2.png&t=665&c=N48pfdUqZQDDtg)
Indeed, what a waste. Sorry for your loss bro but I think you need to move on with that story.

im sitting here trying to imagine what tools you can hang from a hard drive nailed to a wall. and i thought i had a pretty good imagination but im drawing a big blank here.
ive seen clocks made from platters, speakers made from the armature and such but this is some way out of the box thinking to me.

It's an idiotic story, but it's completely true...
I am a nasty cyber-punk who learned about bitcoin back in 2011 and got my first bitcoins at that time, I just mined them on my work computer, while doing my own business, which did not bother me much, by those standards, my computer was quite powerful. I didn't have many bitcoins, only around 30-40, I don't remember exactly, at that time it was only a few dollars (February) After that, my personal life spun around, I started doing offline work and forgot about all this. Over time my computer became outdated and I disassembled it and sold the video card and other parts and left the hard drive in my closet. (more to the point)
I heard again about bitcoin in 2017 and immediately remembered my hard drive, which my grandfather had hammered into the wall of his garage as a tool holder.
So my story has come to an end, and it hurts and makes me laugh to write it. So no comment.
Thanks, Jason
If you had 40 bitcoin in the present date, that would have changed your fortune and you would not have to earn for the rest of your life, but the truth is that you do not have your hard disk with you which contains those bitcoins. The more you thought about it, the more sad you will feel, You need to forget about it and move on. I know its difficult to forget but you have no other option.

Sounds silly ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . Who would have though to nail and use a hard drive as a tool holder? But anyway what's done is done. You should accept the truth that you have lost what you have earned. Besides, you never know how big Bitcoin will be at that time to be in fact it can be only compared on a penny so you never put so much importance on it and I can't blame you, honestly, if I were in your situation I would probably did the same. It is a sad past but you gotta live up for it, besides it will never be too late so you can build up once again. Lets suppose that was not nailed, it would have been lost or thrown in the garbage because at that time no one knew the value of the bitcoins in coming days and that hard disk did not contain anything valuable other than the bitcoins. When we say that there are total 21 million bitcoins, we may be wrong because many bitcoins are already lost and not recoverable.

Even if you think that is a Merit Hunting post, it only got a single merit till now. Also he did not ask for any merit directly or indirectly. Maybe he lost 30 bitcoins but perhaps he had some more bitcoins mined elsewhere and he is holding them. There can be numerous possibilities but we can believe what he said and do not impose unnecessary things which are not being said.

im sitting here trying to imagine what tools you can hang from a hard drive nailed to a wall. and i thought i had a pretty good imagination but im drawing a big blank here.
First I'd like to see how one can drive a nail through a hard drive. Not sure what kind of drive we're talking about but I just looked at an old 3.5" drive and I wouldn't know where to start with a nail. Solid steel cover on one side and thick aluminum shell on the other. As for tool holding... neodymium magnets are crazy strong, could hold all sorts of tools, but that's only if you take the drive apart.

well if you only know what will happen to the future you wont disassemble your computer or your hard drive. Maybe its not for you , maybe there will be one good opportunity that will come to you.

Solid steel cover on one side and thick aluminum shell on the other. check out the heavy duty nail guns used in construction. some are pneumatic (used in framing a lot), some even use .22 blanks to drive nails into concrete. nailing through a hard drive is no problem. if the platters are undamaged (unlikely) data could possibly be recovered as others have said.

You loss more or less $300,000 at the current BTC rate now. What the... that's a huge amount dude, but you know, things happened, you just have to accept it and move on.
Hopefully you are still into crypto now, it's never too late to get in here again, and hopefully you'll be able to make that much again.
What you shared here is just another number of bitcoins lost in circulation, so the supply keeps decreasing as incidents like this occur.
Yes don't lose hope because you can earn this again but it takes time at least you gained bitcoin and this is worth it with the market price right now. You move on and conditioned your mind because if not, you'll feel the pain every time you see bitcoin pumping, just like now, it seems like bitcoin is having a little bull run and might break $10,000 again. As per OP, I think he has already move one since it happen a long time ago and he was sharing it to us without thinking about negative comments. Lesson learn for us, especially now that we are investing, if we have an altcoins that we though a shit coins, let's still keep it, as who knows, the market will turn into the opposite of our expectation, and that shit coins might bring us some fortune in life.

If you have access to a garage and a regular smartphone with a camera, then it won't be a problem for you to show us what it looks like when someone nails a hard drive to the wall. In the meantime, some will wonder if the story is true or false, if you are hunting merits or if you are someone's alt account just trolling.

OP said "hammered", which kinda implies a hand-held hammer but perhaps you're right. I've seen a Ramset in action, that thing is savage. Also insane to use on anything other than prescribed materials (like a 2x4 to concrete) but we're talking about someone allegedly thinking that a hard drive is a tool holder so fair game.

Neo magnets are very powerful indeed, but how did his grandfather know about them. Besides, to use them as tool holders, I think you have to remove them first by taking the hard drive apart and dismantling it... not just nailing the whole thing to the wall.
