James Howells has officially given up on "negotiating" with the Newport City Council.
Over the past 12 years, he has tried every possible avenue: proposals, arbitration, legal action, and even a formal offer worth over £25 million,
all to recover the hard drive buried in a landfill—containing 8,000 BTC.
Back then, these bitcoins were hardly worth mentioning; now their value is close to $1 billion.
The result has been 12 years of silence.
So he decided: instead of applying for permission, he would directly launch an on-chain solution.
🚀 Ceiniog Coin (INI) is about to launch:
1️⃣ Total supply of 800 billion, anchored to every satoshi
2️⃣ Built on Bitcoin + OP_RETURN
3️⃣ Natively integrated with Stacks, Runes, Ordinals
4️⃣ Launch date: end of 2025
This is not just an on-chain reforge of a missed bitcoin legacy, but also an extreme narrative response:
You can block channels, you can refuse to negotiate, but you cannot stop a chain.
More importantly:
Ceiniog is not merely a new coin issuance, but a high-profile symbolic action.
It brings a neglected reality to the global consensus layer, forcing everyone to confront this issue:
👉 When reality does not respond, can blockchain become your megaphone?
You don’t necessarily have to stand with James Howells,
but you cannot ignore the conversation he has sparked.

No response. No logic. No leadership.
They want me to give up, but
