Title: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Delek on August 28, 2015, 05:19:39 PM Hal Finney, RIP. Maybe you were Satoshi, thanks for everything. :'(
Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: gentlemand on August 28, 2015, 05:23:10 PM RIP indeed. But who knows? Maybe he'll be back to witness the final satoshis pop out in 2140.

The Second Coming of Hal Finney http://www.alcor.org/blog/hal-finney-becomes-alcors-128th-patient/ (http://www.alcor.org/blog/hal-finney-becomes-alcors-128th-patient/) Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: BillyBobZorton on August 28, 2015, 05:26:30 PM RIP indeed. But who knows? Maybe he'll be back to witness the final satoshis pop out in 2140. It's pretty mind blowing that this is a possibility. Im scared of transhumanism and let alone being frozen after being clinically death and waking up centuries after, probably with robotic implants because I doubt they would be able to make the entire body function, specially if you had some sort of sickness as well. And at the same time I wish I had the money to do that, you know, just in case it actually happens, but right now it feels too sci-fi. Also who knows what will happen in 100 years. If there is a big war, the lab where your body is stored may get bombarded or something. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: LiteCoinGuy on August 28, 2015, 05:40:53 PM RIP Hal, thanks for the good work on bitcoin and everything else :)
@gentlemand yeah...that would be cool :) Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: S4VV4S on August 28, 2015, 05:49:55 PM RIP Hal.

If there is a big war, the lab where your body is stored may get bombarded or something. Yeah, but you will already be dead anyway so it really doesn't matter. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: unamis76 on August 28, 2015, 05:55:38 PM A visionary, and the first recipient of a Bitcoin transaction. That makes for a great man in my books. RIP.
We might see him around again one day... :D Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Nas on August 28, 2015, 05:56:43 PM Thanks for everything Hal. I have a great feeling that you are the innovator of Bitcoin. It doesn't really matter as long as first mined coins aren't move.
I hope they find cure and you'll be back. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: bryant.coleman on August 28, 2015, 06:18:23 PM Hal Finney, RIP. Maybe you were Satoshi, thanks for everything. :'( It is almost confirmed that he was not the original Satoshi. But to his credit, Hal Finney was the Bitcoin network's first transaction recipient (when Satoshi sent BTC10.00 to Hal as a test). It seems to me that he and Satoshi used to communicate with each other. He was an active member in the Bitcointalk. Here is one of his threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0 Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Mickeyb on August 28, 2015, 10:08:54 PM Hal was an extraordinary man. I learned not so long ago about Half Finney and about everything he's done for Bitcoin and us as a community. I've done a lot of reading and got amazed.
RIP great Hall! :( Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: minernoob1 on August 28, 2015, 10:55:20 PM RIP. You have done a great many things for us. You will not be forgotten.

Maybe you were Satoshi, thanks for everything. :'( Don't lose hope that cryogenics will become something that people can be thawed out from. I didn't know Hal's work much, but I just read his wikipedia file. So know that this thread is bringing awareness and attention to his work and to me that's a fine tribute on a one year anniversary. Cheers to you. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: dothebeats on August 29, 2015, 07:17:06 AM Hal Finney, RIP.

I didn't know Hal's work much, but I just read his wikipedia file. So know that this thread is bringing awareness and attention to his work and to me that's a fine tribute on a one year anniversary. Cheers to you. It's quite amazing how cryogenics changed our views on human life, let alone Hal's vision that he might one day again rise after being clinically dead. As a pioneer to many things and one of the leading persona in the cyber-security and technology industry, Mr. Hal Finney, you will be remembered. See you again after a century! ;) Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: nizamcc on August 29, 2015, 07:17:38 AM Never knew about him, but thanks to OP, now know who he was.
RIP Hal, may you be happy wherever you are. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Muhammed Zakir on August 29, 2015, 07:20:24 AM He was a great man! His life is truly inspiring!

Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Swordsoffreedom on August 29, 2015, 08:47:34 AM Hal Finney, RIP. Maybe you were Satoshi, thanks for everything. :'( Has it been a year already since he died and became frozen in literal time and space. My respects to Hal and he is surely missed thank you for PGP and for being a key part of the first experiment in cryptocurrency. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: dollarneed on August 29, 2015, 09:00:01 AM I just realized that Hal Finey was an early Bitcoin user and received the first bitcoin transaction from bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Hal Finey rest in peace and may perpetual light
anyway thanks for the op Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Kprawn on August 29, 2015, 10:30:35 AM Hal Finney was the Thomas Watson, when Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call in his Boston laboratory, summoning his assistant from the next room.
Satoshi tested this great technology with Hal Finney's help and he will always be remembered and credited for that. May you RIP buddy.... ;D.... You are part of history now. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Jeremycoin on August 29, 2015, 10:55:06 AM I never heard about this guy before, but after reading your guys replies. I feel sorry for his death :(
Rest In Peace Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Amph on August 29, 2015, 11:18:11 AM I just realized that Hal Finey was an early Bitcoin user and received the first bitcoin transaction from bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Hal Finey rest in peace and may perpetual light anyway thanks for the op maybe he is the only one who know who satishi is, because he was the second one mining bitcoin after satoshi if i recall correctly Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Wapinter on August 29, 2015, 11:38:36 AM Hal Finney, RIP. Maybe you were Satoshi, thanks for everything. :'( I didn't know about him until I read this topic which lead me to 'Google' him.He really made commendable contribution to bitcoin by being the first debugger and contributor to bitcoin code.Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: chek2fire on August 29, 2015, 11:57:05 PM he is not dead but is in stasis in gryogenics freezing. I hope for him in the near future the science can revive him and cure him and see the future world full with bitcoin :)
Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Delek on August 31, 2015, 12:29:59 PM maybe he is the only one who know who satishi is, because he was the second one mining bitcoin after satoshi if i recall correctly He even tested to IP Bitcoin transactions (removed some versions ago)?, maybe Satoshi shared with him his real IP for tests?Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Brad Harrison on August 31, 2015, 03:50:42 PM since Hal passed bitcoin has gone downhill :(

Hal Finey rest in peace and may perpetual light anyway thanks for the op maybe he is the only one who know who satishi is, because he was the second one mining bitcoin after satoshi if i recall correctly yeah i believe that he know who is the real satoshi anyway i just wondering is he ever writed some books about him, bitcoin or satoshi nakamoto? i really want to know about him,his life and his relationship with satoshi even though i recognize him when he has death Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Blawpaw on August 31, 2015, 08:34:38 PM We lost a real good one!
He would sure have something to say about the different proposals to solve the Bitcoin limitations and block size issues. RIP HAL Finney Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: Gleb Gamow on August 31, 2015, 10:24:35 PM RIP indeed. But who knows?

If there is a big war, the lab where your body is stored may get bombarded or something. Getting the body to function properly may be the easy part, with having all one's memory completely restored being the greatest challenge after a cure is discovered. BTW, who pays for all those expenses when the time comes since only the preserving process is supposedly fully paid for till whenever?

BTW, who pays for all those expenses when the time comes since only the preserving process is supposedly fully paid for till whenever? I assume, the physical matter of Hal will stay in stasis till it is possible to bring him back in a time where it is relatively cheap. There will be a point in the far future, where being able to "revive" someone could be considered a civil right, and not doing so is a violation of that person's civil rights. Especially for people like Hal who purposefully choose to be frozen to be revived in the future. Then Hal (mental Hal) can be transferred to a new body or maybe into a mental collective, which will be possible by then, but might cost extra and not apply to the right. And if that day never comes where it is a right, then when the person is "revived", you could provided them an invoice and allow a payment plan. Title: Re: Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death Post by: ikydesu on September 01, 2015, 04:50:21 AM RIP Hal Finney.
He's contribution is immortal :) RIP indeed. But who knows? Maybe he'll be back to witness the final satoshis pop out in 2140. Could be, reincarnation.

He will be one of the most influential cryptographers of our era contributing alot to bitcoin. I hope he wasnt satoshi, because then we lost the creator! :( |
