A man from Newport, Wales, doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry having recently realised he accidentally threw away £4m worth ($6.5m) of bitcoins.

James Howells decided to give bitcoin mining a go back in 2009 and managed to mine around 7,500 bitcoins using his computer, the Guardian reports.

At the time of writing, the price of 7,500 BTC, according to the CoinDesk BPI, is just under £4.2m.
