The extreme unlikelihood of finding the drive in a salvageable condition combined with the near certainty of polluting the local community makes it a pretty clear decision to me.
- ghshephard 2y agoI don't get why there would be any risk of polluting the local community. Just create a second-landfill, properly lined - in exactly the same way thousands of landfills each year are created near to the first one - then just run an industrial-conveyor from Landfill A -> Landfill B. Create a spill-container underneath if you want to be 100% super certain 0.000% of pollution. Run at a reasonable rate - should be relative straightforward for a team to pick through the garbage, particularly because it's metal. This project gets rebooted when/if bitcoin hits $1mm.
- aithrowawaycomm 2y agoIt would be terrible for air pollution - this isn’t just a big pile of trash, it’s years of compacted municipal refuse that has to be excavated and pulled apart. If you dig through 100k tons of landfil, you will fill the surrounding air with toxic/pathogenic dust.
