Nah, not the same computer unfortunately. Besides, don't you need a digital wallet? I find it funny how all these people had the same thing, they got some bitcoins, forgot about them, a couple of years later the boom happens and they have no idea what to do.

Do like that chap above ....go FIND it !

the Wallet is the mother board of your hard drive ...

"Howells said he was forced to take the hard drive out of the laptop in 2010 when he poured a soft drink over the keyboard,

and over the next three years it remained forgotten in his desk drawer.

He does not know exactly when he threw it away, but said it was at some point this summer."

i bought it after they took down the drug market. it dropped to around 200 USD. Within a month and 1/2 it was up to 1200. sold right before the recent crash.

recently on the news they showed a guy who was going through this huge trash dump looking for his hard drive which he threw away.....but he had millions of bitcoins saved on it!!

Iran , North Korea , China , Russia , Venezuela. In these countries the central banks are controlled by the gov't and the chosen people has no influence .
This is an ingenious method to by pass the central banks and it is no wonder that last week  China banned any transactions that are done in Bit coin. Immediately the Bit Coin lost $300  from its value
