Title: Andy Greenberg raising funds for Hal Finney Post by: S4VV4S on April 01, 2014, 02:28:04 PM I must admit that I did not know that Hal Finney had ASL.
I also have to admit that it brought tears to my eyes seing a genius like Hal in that position. I don't know how many of you know this but Hal needs our support: http://newsbtc.com/2014/03/31/forbes-andy-greenberg-starts-bitcoin-fundraiser-hal-finney/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/03/25/satoshi-nakamotos-neighbor-the-bitcoin-ghostwriter-who-wasnt/ (http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/03/25/satoshi-nakamotos-neighbor-the-bitcoin-ghostwriter-who-wasnt/) I have donated and will donate again. I hope more members appreciate his part in Bitcoin as well as PGP and offer a helping hand as well.

There was a good Stack Exchange with him a few months ago too where he asked about security of voice coding while making crypto software. He still codes

Then tell me, apart from his condition, does that living room look like it's huge? Because I can tell you that I do not have much money but my living room is at least 3 times as much.

He had to/did sell many coins at ~$100 shortly before the huge run to above $1,000. ~source = recent article Title: Re: Andy Greenberg raising funds for Hal Finney Post by: BITCOIN-PIZZA-DAY on April 04, 2014, 02:10:36 AM He still has 2000 coins for his kids. He did great stuff but not everyone with ALS is a millionaire.

I made a decent sized donation. The work Hal has done on both PGP and Bitcoin deserves a few bucks from me, regardless if he already has money or not. :) Title: Re: Andy Greenberg raising funds for Hal Finney Post by: sundance on April 04, 2014, 03:56:41 AM Sent.

He did great stuff but not everyone with ALS is a millionaire. proof: https://blockchain.info/address/157i5gK7iN4bNAN39Ahuoiq6Tx5TaQukTE That would have been almost 2 million USD, but with the BTC prices sliding I don't know when he'll convert them to cash. ???
