> Two French hackers used their computer skills to reconstruct a blurred-out code on TV and claim bitcoins worth $1,000 (£760).
- Scoundreller 6y agoIt was Bitcoin cash, so the 3 are worth, today, ~$1320. I think the hackers could have made more money if they got real jobs doing valuable work.
- dxdm 6y agoThe money they _directly_ got out of this might not have been their only motivation.
- oehtXRwMkIs 6y agoFunny they say bitcoins when 1 bitcoin was at least $1000 back then. I'm pretty sure the usual grammar rules apply so you can't use the plural unless you have at least 2 bitcoins. Super minor but interesting how a vastly deflated currency that is super divisible can mess with our usual language.
