I just sent a very small donation in BTC and I hope more people come forward to show love for a Bitcoiner. I will see you on the other side brother. It was an honer.

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: KonstantinosM on March 30, 2020, 12:34:56 AM It feels like the whole time I've lurked in this forum, you've been around. I always loved that Phineas Gage reference. I'm sending a little something as well.
Is it some crazy coincidence that you picked this name for the forum almost 10 years ago? Do you feel like your personality has changed because of the tumor?

I'll miss you. :'( I sent some coins; don't forget to save some for Charon.
Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Timelord2067 on March 30, 2020, 07:53:52 AM I did notice the image of your chart when I scrolled back through your posts after you made the decision to share your news in my Covid-19 thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233954.msg54091232#msg54091232).
I won't bother you too much with questions and statements but just thought I'd let you know that I've chipped in a little bit (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/c4f3c2f7595973f1151fea07e89ef914ec1db3944eb94ed320f0cb5f7f30418b) and hope that others are able to do so too. One quick question if I may: Why did you split your posts up between various user profiles? I see there were very early Signature Campaigns that were asking for thousands of posts per month - is that why your posts counts are so high? Regardless of why you spilt up your posts, you have some impressive posting statistics that aren't going to be matched for a very long time. Rest Well and know you will be remembered fondly in this place. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: TECSHARE on March 30, 2020, 04:21:06 PM I am sad to see such a legend go. Take care Bruno.
Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: AB de Royse777 on March 30, 2020, 05:05:28 PM I was not ready to read this. Very sad. Sorry to see you are going through this bud. The almighty will love you. You will rest in peace and will be missed around.
Make sure you talk about Bitcoin to our ancestors. On a serious note, your witty sense will remain with us forever. Cheers to celebrate the other world. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on March 30, 2020, 05:55:30 PM I was not ready to read this. Me neither, and I was hoping it was a prank. One of the first personalities I encountered when I registered here was Gleb Gamow, and I always had respect for him. It's distressing to know that this is happening to him, but I admire the apparent calm demeanor he's showing in the face of death. I have kind of a morbid but practical question for Bruno: will the forum be notified of your death somehow? Do you know any forum members personally? Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: DireWolfM14 on March 30, 2020, 06:33:03 PM I'm so sorry to hear about your medical struggles, Bruno.
I know you and I haven't had a lot of interaction, but your contributions the forum have been quite a bright spot for me. Being somewhat new to the cryptosphere it made me feel a bit giddy whenever I find contemporary posts made by legends such as yourself. I wish you the best in the remaining time you spend among us. Your humor and wit will be missed, amigo. Thank you for contributing to my exit scam. Not quite what I picture when I hear "exit scam," but an apt description for someone with your sense of humor. I only wish I could contribute more. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: LTU_btc on March 30, 2020, 11:33:15 PM It was very difficult to read this. You're very important part of Bitcointalk history and you will be always remembered here. Stay strong as much as it possible in this situation. I'll send you some BTC to you later today.
Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Hueristic on March 31, 2020, 06:04:48 AM This will teach me to just check one more thread before crashing.
Fuck man this is the shittiest news I've heard in quite awhile, we are all going to miss you here. Yah know I heard if you tell the Doc you can't afford to pay he'll give you another 6 months. Seriously depressed to hear this. :( Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ChuckBuck on March 31, 2020, 08:12:55 AM As I shared with you before, I really feel sad when I read your post :-[ Now, you are a person of strong will, although we have never met before, I sympathize with you. Send a little money to support you, not much but it is what I can do :-[ I also saw someone really generous sending you 0.25 BTC. If you're not here, I on your behalf to thank him, he is wonderful! Also thank others
I have kind of a morbid but practical question for Bruno: will the forum be notified of your death somehow? Do you know any forum members personally? Perhaps the day we don't see him active in this forum, he is gone :-[Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Timelord2067 on March 31, 2020, 08:47:16 AM Perhaps the day we don't see him active in this forum, he is gone :-[ A weekly check of the Las Vegas news sites would be the first place to look. I'm sure there will be quite a wake for Bruno when the time comes. Perhaps ten days after the official news is broadcast here we all have a toast to Bruno. *Cheers!* Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: cAPSLOCK on March 31, 2020, 01:35:44 PM Very sad to read this. Have always been a fan of your wit and am glad to have known you virtually, even if we never really interacted.
May God bless you, sir. When I get to where I can unfreeze some cold storage, I will send a contribution to your fund. (P.S. the whole Phinnaeus Gage thing is spooky, but also very cool. Almost poetry. Nice job pulling that off?) Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on March 31, 2020, 02:15:18 PM Perhaps the day we don't see him active in this forum, he is gone :-[ Yeah, that would be a good assumption except that he's had periods of inactivity before and there's no telling if he's going to be active on the forum henceforth. There's also no way to know if that doctor's prognosis of two months is accurate or not. It certainly doesn't sound encouraging, but docs have been ridiculously wrong about things like that--and for Bruno's sake, I hope he gets more time than that.A weekly check of the Las Vegas news sites would be the first place to look. I'm sure there will be quite a wake for Bruno when the time comes. Perhaps ten days after the official news is broadcast here we all have a toast to Bruno. Yeah, I thought of something like that but personally I'm not crazy about the idea of checking the obituaries all the time. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure a google search on Bruno's name would probably pull up an obit. During the opiate crisis I'd searched for some names of folks I hadn't seen in a long time, and a few of them had died. Anyway.Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: xhomerx10 on March 31, 2020, 05:12:46 PM I'm working on a signature but I'm quite new at it. Four thousand characters isn't much to work with! So far I've got this but it's 10X the allowable size:

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: BitcoinGirl.Club on March 31, 2020, 05:34:41 PM Working on it! You are awesome always. Good work. Those who are not wearing any paid signature, they can wear this to spread the word. If they are low ranked then they can just create a text based signature and can link this topic.Further more, those who are full member and above and is not wearing any paid signature they can also wear the hat and the personal text which I posted here. Can I have your attention please 🥺🥺 Day before yesterday I made this post about Bruno: Guys, Bruno in need of our help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236380.0 Us who are old timer here, more or less know about Bruno but a lot of us don't know that Bruno is going through his last days of life. It's hard to swallow but this is reality. A person who is preparing to travel to the eternity is in need of our help. I responded and a lot of others too actively donating. After all, he is one of our brother. Besides giving the donation we can also spread the word around the forum so that other people spot the topic and give their helping hands too. To get this, I requested homer for a new hat for us. Thanks homer for the hat, you are awesome as always. We, the hat gang can do this favor to Bruno. If we wear this hat with the personal text for at least a week then this may give some exposure to the topic of Bruno, you are welcome to wear it as long as you want though. This will create more awareness around the forum about the topic's existence. Guys, I am not a very good writer, I can not put emotion in my writing so may be this post will not make much urge to you but I can assure you one thing that I am trying to say this: Wear the hat, use the personal text I have right now and help Bruno. We have nothing to lose but to gain here. Helping a brother, a bitcoiner is what we do. Let's prove it again. Personal text: Please help Bruno: https://bit.ly/2wLBpte Hat: https://i.imgur.com/0feab2Y.png Thanks all. Let's help a brother and give our best love to him. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: nutildah on March 31, 2020, 05:41:19 PM I combed through P.G.'s 45 pages of threads he started to make a "Greatest Hits" compilation, for those who may be interested. There were too many to choose from, feel free to remind me of anything I may have left out.
The Bruno Kucinskas Trilogy - Part I: Phinnaeus Gage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236861.0) Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: GazetaBitcoin on March 31, 2020, 06:08:08 PM I never knew Bruno until I found this thread, back in January - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=371708.msg53693149#msg53693149. Even after that, I never knew him. Our only words were exchanged there. All I knew about him is that he has a good sense of humour and many goats-related jokes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=371708.msg53699662#msg53699662) (jokes which I don't understand, unfortunately, as I didn't study his posts history). All I wrote below represent what a normal man, a stranger, felt for another human being, although if he was also a stranger.
Since then, I kept thinking (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=371708.msg53700873#msg53700873) if I can help this man anyhow, including a call for donations, but I thought such a gesture would make him feel uncomfortable. I also thought to privately talk to a few elder members here, but again, I thought I could be considered a scammer. Or maybe he could be considered a scammer (unfortunately, several discussions about who owns his profile(s) took course in the past (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4542394.0) and I didn't want to jeopardize his reputation in any manner). I dared to talk only to one person about helping him... And two months later, here we are. I didn't know how bad is his disease, nor I knew his time is so short... I hoped he would get better as he didn't write this topic since January. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, but there is still hope. Dear Bruno, I believe you pass through a hard time now, but I hope you will keep your hope. Your faith. And your sense of humor. They may bring you more time...more than these 2 months predicted by doctors. Maybe they were wrong. Miracles happen... Just keep your faith and continue to hope. You are not alone, as I see from this topic, and you will never be! I'm sure your family and friends pray for you, as I do as well. May your life be longer, way longer than these expectations of the doctors! I also contributed with some BTC. It's not much, but it's given from my heart. Take care of yourself and may God bring you close to your family again... And, if you can, write us here a few words from time to time... Many are thinking about you! Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ChuckBuck on March 31, 2020, 06:12:11 PM I'm working on a signature but I'm quite new at it. Four thousand characters isn't much to work with! So far I've got this but it's 10X the allowable size: I know you're a professional designer, so I don't have anything to comment here. My first impression of your design is its sharpness. The image is made so clear that it's easy to see why it's 10 times larger. You have a great contribution! Sharpness is really redundant for signatures :P There were too many to choose from, feel free to remind me of anything I may have left out. Maybe you forgot to remind us that the avatar you are wearing should be worn with the signature that xhomerx10 is designing.Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: BitcoinGirl.Club on March 31, 2020, 07:52:13 PM Maybe you forgot to remind us that the avatar you are wearing should be worn with the signature that xhomerx10 is designing.

I managed to get it under the 4000 characters and I think time is of the essence here so for the time being, this is the sig if anyone wants to wear it. I'll continue to tweak it if possible and post any new results here as well.

Signature campaign for Bruno's exit scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236906.0 You point me to this thread and all the things I read here. I remember Gleb Gamow and his fighting against scam a long time ago. I wondered why is disappear from here, but I never explored. This depresses me now. it's also a little creepy to me, he is still alive but we say goodbye to him. I've never experienced anything like this. I will send some donation Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: STT on March 31, 2020, 10:34:37 PM It feels like the whole time I've lurked in this forum, you've been around.

Do you feel like your personality has changed because of the tumor? yes Thank you for contributing, bud. Holy smokes, I do remember that tale from way back but did not remember the name. I do hope you defy the odds in a similar way and I'll send along a little donation to the cause. If everyone sends a bit and theres alot of us on the forum then the target should be feasible i believe, people always underestimate the magnitude of the many. I'll repost this thread details on the busiest thread I know of next time I post anything there just in case its not already posted or in common knowledge. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Cryptotourist on April 01, 2020, 02:38:47 AM I just wanted to point out that only few donations have occurred so far.
Is this what Bruno is to all of you bitcoiners, that have known about his - all too valuable - actions for years? He has saved you a lot of sats, just remember that. Time to give something back. Sorry to see you go man. It is my duty to help, carry you home. Ή τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς You fought well. You will not be forgotten. See you on the other side bud.

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: JayJuanGee on April 01, 2020, 04:38:43 PM One of the most entertaining threads I've ever read: Leroy Fodor has gone Full-Delusional! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990219.0) I am a little confused about how many accounts Bruno had been maintaining, so I remain somewhat unclear about what my various interactions would have been with him over the years. Of course, the sadness of likely impending death and also some loss of motor functions that Bruno describes and even likely ongoing losses of cognitive functions is sad too, and just the choice of the username, Phinnaeus Gage likely demonstrates that Bruno likely knew about aspects of his condition for several years before recently finding out that he ONLY has about two more months to live... which yes, by the time that any of us might get to a point that we are ONLY expected to live another two months, our condition would likely have deteriorated drastically both on the inside and the outside. The human condition can be quite complicated, and even the fact that many of us do not necessarily share too many details of what struggles might be going on with our meat-wagon on a regular basis. Some members likely struggle from ongoing chronic diseases, and others might get removed from the physical space without any kind of notice, whatsoever. Theoretically, we can speculate about what way we would prefer to go, but frequently the choice will not be of our own volition, and many times when we are younger, we experiences feelings of immortality that are revealed to us as having had been too pie in the sky, as we get older and end up dealing with more and more real and inevitable degenerative conditions that happen when we are lucky enough to have been able to live into a relatively older age. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Harlot on April 01, 2020, 06:16:16 PM Reading this at April 1 made me think that this was an April Fools joke but when I read the whole post and see the date it was created I felt sad that this was really happening from one of our members, Although I can't help monetarily all my prayers will go to you and your family in Indiana and Illinois. With how you are planning to spend the donations you receive I know that you have accepted your fate but I'm just here to tell you that you don't need to be sad about it. Right now I just viewed some of your transactions coming in to your wallet addresses and based from my calculations you have received 2,580$ worth of Bitcoin, 218$ worth of BCH, which I think is really big especially when you just posted this last 3 days ago. Here is a free bump for your thread.

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on April 01, 2020, 11:00:38 PM I decided to take some time out of my day to write a thread about the main account of the most prolific member on the forum. That account is Phinnaeus Gage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792), and that man is Bruno Kucinskas (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236380.msg54120826#msg54120826). Initially I was going to do a compilation of all the scams Bruno has exposed over the years, but that in itself wouldn't do his contributions to the forum justice, so I decided to dedicate 3 separate threads to his 3 most famous monikers (this being the first). First, a couple of mind-blowing statistics. Across Bruno's 3 main accounts, Phinnaeus Gage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792), Gleb Gamow (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=349097), and YuTü.Co.in (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=408246), he has amassed a total of 44,776 posts and started 1,628 topics. :o He possesses 2 accounts currently in the top 10 members by number of posts, making him far and away the most prolific poster on the forum. To say Bruno is a man of ideas would be an understatement. He spent years formulating ways in which Bitcoin could be improved, better marketed, and more highly utilized. He dabbled in everything from improving security to increasing adoption to hosting various giveaways and challenges in order to help spread the word. As such, Bruno is a true ambassador of Bitcoin. In addition to the sheer number of hours Bruno put into helping Bitcoin along its path to global recognition, he provided a lot of much-needed entertainment in a space that was otherwise relatively dry in terms of humor. Over the years he penned countless poems, odes, jokes, theses, news articles, mission statements, wanted ads, contests, riddles and even screenplay pitches. He also loves goats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=135136.msg1439128#msg1439128). The Greatest Hits of Phinnaeus Gage First Bitcoin Charity Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52543.0) (11/11) - the first bitcoin charity project, and perhaps the biggest held on the forum to date, raised 681 BTC and distributed donations to 83 Non-Profit Organizations. Below is a screenshot of Bitcoin 100's now depleted coffer, bringing an end to the era :'( of the first, and perhaps most successful cryptocurrency charity/NPO to date, endowing a total of 84 mostly venerable charities priorly not accepting bitcoins et al. as a donation option till such an option was introduced to them. The exact number of NPOs which Bitcoin 100 endowed was 83, adding Jason King's Unsung at the very end, along with endowing The Water Project (https://thewaterproject.org/) a second time thanks to their continuing noble efforts of supplying clean water to those in need in hard-pressed Third World countries: https://thewaterproject.org/how-we-work Bruno administered several other charities during his time as Phinnaeus Gage, never taking a penny from them for himself, always insisting that excess funds - or funds promised to him by others - be given to someone else. Scam Research Bruno is one of the first and foremost scambusters on the forum, and its safe to say nobody has come close to matching his tenaciousness and output over the years. He had a lot of run-ins with folks at Butterfly Labs, who eventually doxed him and forced him to give up his anonymity. Here is his first comment that I can find on his career as a scambuster, from a thread entitled "Attention All Scammers!!!" The time has come to try to put a stop to all those who think they can come here, pull the wool over our eyes, and leave with bitcoins in hand. From this day forward, I will do everything in my power to expose you bastards. ... As a scambuster, Bruno was no fan of the trust system, preferring instead to confront the scammers head on and ground them into submission, until they could no longer take the beating and just leave the forum. Here is a list of some of the scams he helped research and uncover under the P.G. moniker: Bitcoinica - one of the first web-based bitcoin exchanges, and the first to perform an "exit scam" on its users while blaming their problems on a hacker.

Josh Zerlan, BFL CEO, is the originator of the now-famous expression, "in two weeks", as a reference to how long customers should expect to wait before receiving their miners (which frequently came much later, if ever). BFL's days are numbered. You've all been warned. All those who come a cryin' later will be laughed at. A real investigation is in the works, for I've personally have had two agencies contact me.

(there's plenty more threads that should be added to this section, but I fear I may have already warn out my welcome considering the current length of this post) Here's one final P.G. post that encapsulates his humor and unique way of viewing the world that I leave everyone here with. Yesterday morning I stopped at a cafe, oppose to the dinky service station available at that exit, for a cup of coffee for the road and to take a shit (apologies to the non-coffee drinkers ::)). I asked the pretty petite girl donning the usual metal, once only saved for earlobes, if they took Bitcoin. She replied no, but said she heard about it when I asked her. Then I told her who I was. Come to find out, she has visited BitcoinTalk, and her sister is a big Bitcoin fan, of which is probably a member here. She asked for my autograph, of which is going to be given to her sister as a Christmas present, having to now no longer worrying about what to give her. Soon, I'll be able to charge $400K USD for speaking fees, along with charging 1 BTC for lap dances at bridal showers. I've noticed more and more people staring at me in public now ever since Bitcoin started to enter the mainstream. I don't know what my future agent will be charging for commercials, but the first one I'll do free minus expenses since I'm a nice guy. I look forward to the girl that received my autograph as a Christmas present to post here and state how happy she was/is. ~TMIBTCITW If after reading all this you feel at all compelled, now would be a great time to show your appreciation for Bruno. You can find out how to do so by visiting his latest thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236380.msg54120826#msg54120826). From the bottom of my heart, thanks Bruno for everything you have provided the forum over the years.

Bruno you're one of my favorite people here. A real "troll" that has long since had your title stolen by annoying whiny kids spamming UMAD. Your humor was on point, and you messed with people for the right reasons using creativity and wit rather than lazy tactics. Its an absolute shame to see you go, and you'll be missed.
Whenever I reference old Bitcointalk, its always represented by Phinnaeus Gage, Dank, Goat, MNW, The Butterfly Labs clowns, and a few assorted others to fully describe what created the society of our lovable hive of villainy and scum. You're a founder here as important as Hal Finney to the community. I repeat, I absolutely hate to see you go, but I hope that its all on your own terms and you don't let a little thing like a brain tumor tell you what to do. You may respectfully agree with its decision however.

Thank you for all the scams you have fought. Thank you for spending endless nights trying to help the members of the community not get scammed by fucking assholes out there who want to steal other people's hard earned money. Thank you for enlightening all of us with your weirdly yet amazing humor. Thank you for being honest with the community. Thank you for everything you have done for this community. Thank you for being you. Thank you, Bruno, Thank you. From us to you. I really hope you find a miraculous recovery for your Tumor. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: OddJobsForBitcoin on April 02, 2020, 11:17:56 PM Hello Bruno,
Thank you for being there and all your contributions to the forum. Death is something that will happen to us all and it is grace and love of God that permits a man to prepare for certain death. The good news is that there is a good news which is that death is the beginning of another life which is characterized by permanence. It is a beautiful thing to know that God who sent us into this world would be waiting for us as we exit to welcome us at the end of its tunnel. in life, He made provisions for us to be better prepared to meet Him. This He did by sending us His word in the form of His Son, Jesus. I do not know what you believe Bruno, but I want you to know that your exit need not be doleful. May I leave you with this scripture from the Bible taken from the book of John chapter 3 verse 16. It says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life". I will pray for you Bruno with the hope that you will receive God's outstretched hands in life. He has great things in store for you. Just confess your sins amd put your faith in Jesus who alone saves mankind from death and hell. You are forever blessed Bruno. My prayer for you is that the Lord gives you longer time to live through a miracle. But if He chose not to and call you home, may you ascend upwards where all the saints see His face. the rest of this message will be made clear to your heart by the Spirit of Jesus. I hope we will meet again in that far off heavenly temple. Finally, I ask you to spend most of your time if you're able reading the Bible. That way, you will get to know more the Lord of all the earth who you may meet before me. he is a great and glorious, yet a compassionate God. He is Jesus. Goodby Bruno.

If there are 100K bodies to transport and the can only transfer say 100 at a time, you're going to blow all your money on keeping the body fresh and bidding on a "seat".

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: dothebeats on April 05, 2020, 12:31:05 PM I have always fancied Gleb's thread re: Leroy Fodor and his (mis)adventures. Those threads were a fun read ridiculing a certain scammer in the most poetic way possible. The BFL clowns against Bruno is also a nice read too, and I never regretted hours upon hours of reading those threads as if they were a mischievous fairy-tale written by a master author.
We never really had some interactions, but I've always fancied the name Phinnaeus Gage since I've known for that curious medical case since I entered university. And to know that it was quite an indirect reference to your condition made me somewhat sad and astonished at the same time. If there is a slim chance of you surviving glioblastoma, please take it. But if you really have already decided to go, do it so on your own terms and make the most out of your supposed remaining days. You will be missed. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: JollyGood on April 05, 2020, 08:54:07 PM I just found this thread, went through it and noted so much respect members here have for you.
Unfortunately we never interacted apart from fleetingly as far as I can recall but with all the kind words being put forward to you from a wide array of users it seems clear that not having interaction with you turned out to be my loss without doubt. It must be very tough going through everything you have already been through and of-course with you being in hospital right now adding to that your family being far away, it is a very sad situation. The whole quarantine issue related to stopping the spread of the coronavirus means that they are probably unable to visit which is extremely sad too. I had never heard of Glioblastoma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioblastoma) (also known as glioblastoma multiforme or GBM) until I read the OP and clicked the wiki page. I am at a loss for words. I hope you manage to read through some of these posts in the coming days and hope it makes you a smile.

I sent something, I hope it will help you out on your last journey home. Why? Because the system failed you and us. Such costs should not be allowed. People shouldnt sell their places to take their loved ones back to the family's rest place. I had last year myself a tragic moment with my dad dying abroad and taking him home, it was a nightmare. Quite soon I will have another case, so I totally feel what your family is going through. I hope your life was good, i hope it offered good and bad moments and I hope that made others happy. M.

Updated about the situation:
I'm a little bit worried as well, the BTC address seems to be only receiving Bitcoin but there are no outgoing transactions. Are there any members here who are close to Phinnaeus Gage or some of his family members? Because they might not even know that he is receiving donations and he might not even be able to use the BTC he have received. We need to here some updates if he is ok and maybe give some assistance to his family.

Cheyenne, WY, September 22, 2018, YuTu.Co.in sent shockwaves through the world of video monetization on YouTube with the launch of their ICO introducing a new paradigm in video monetization. Due to YouTube’s recent placement of restrictions on their partnership program and monetization policy, 99% of all YouTube channels now find themselves no longer eligible for monetization. YuTü.Co.in offers YouTube channel managers a new revenue stream by allowing them to “crypto-commoditize” their YouTube channel, creating their very own digital currency token for them. These coins can be traded for an Ethereum token, named YuTüCoin (YTC), on their in-house exchange, which can then be traded at any number of outside exchanges for ETH, BTC and whatever other pairings are available. In addition to providing a new source of funds for YouTubers, they also allow the opportunity for fans to show their support by purchasing the coin(s) of their favorite YouTuber(s), or even mine the coins directly. Thus, anyone can “invest” in a coin that represents a YouTube channel brand and trade it on a free market exchange. In addition to the above, they provide all participating channel managers with their own page on the YuTü.Co.in platform which they can use to sell merchandise, communicate with their fans and host any content of their choice. Introducing YuTü.Co.in, the brand under the auspices of YuTübopolis, Inc., having its own native token duly dubbed YuTüCoin (YTC), destined to trade on legacy crypto exchanges. One of YTC’s underlying utilities is facilitating funds in and out of a novel exchange – YTC-Sox (YuTü. Co.in-Social Exchange) – where crypto-commodity tokens pegged to channels of opted-in YouTubers are traded, each assigned a unique TicSym (Ticker Symbol). With YuTü.Co.in, YouTube producers can be incentively rewarded in a decentralized manner formerly unachievable. Simultaneously on the same platform, supportive fans can readily purchase shares of their favorite YouTube channels directly from respective YouTubers, identified as Lynspinz. During a recent interview, Bruno Kucinskas, founder of YuTü.Co.in, was asked how YuTü.Co.in differentiates from the dozen-plus crypto-based startups appealing to YouTubers and publishers on other video-sharing sites. He commented, “They all fundamentally have one thing in common – upload videos to their undertakings where fans must pay with its newfangled cryptos in order to play selections. This is not the case with YuTü.Co.in. We allow YouTubers the freedom to upload solely on YouTube or link to their videos migrated elsewhere as we provide resources pro bono so they can continuously enhance their channel brands.” Further deviating from the norm, YuTü.Co.in presents two avenues for supporters to participate in their ICO which is now live: purchase YuTüCoin (YTC) tokens or PAQs (virtual miners), both deemed likely to be highly profitable offerings. YuTüCoin (YTC) is an Ethereum-based ERC20 token, its dynamic rate outside the control of YuTü.Co.in while trading on multiple crypto exchanges. YTC’s other principal utility is conducting commerce across YuTü.Co.in’s platforms. The initial creation of 250 million (250M) YTC enables its hoard of hodlers enough mintage for trading on YTC-Sox or purchasing services and wares on YuTü.Co.in. Distribution of YTC upon the close of its ICO inherently mirrors that of respected crypto-based entities, the schedule found here and in YuTü.Co.in’s white paper. Follow the links to learn more about re-monetizing YouTube channels through crypto-commoditization, getting whitelisted, and how to participate in YuTü.Co.in’s lucrative ICO that is now underway, and runs until October 13, 2018.

Hi. I have a client for whom I did some work. and he wants to pay me only through paypal. I tried to force him to pay in BTC but he couldn't do that. and I cannot accept paypal as paypal is not legal in my country. so if anyone can help me to receive that paypal payment and exchange that into BTC.

Think about it. He did mention this is an exit scam, and we all assumed the obvious. But, he does have a big family. Maybe this is his way of saying "thank you" to them, for their support all these years. Either way, we should not care about this detail. It's a donation - because he asked, the rest is pretty much trivial. In fact, if it turns out to be this hypothesis, you have to give him extra credit. TLDR: Don't be surprised if the coins don't move for years. One more reason to donate. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ChuckBuck on April 11, 2020, 06:19:36 AM I need help. I'll help back This may not be fun for you, but I'd like to frankly. If I were you, I would not ask to help someone on another condition. Help is a voluntary giving ;) I will never help someone to get something else back. Although your offer may seem logical, it is not morally supportive (at least for me), it is exchanging. If your partner is unable to provide BTC, he should make a payment using another fiat, skill or neteller, paypal is not a good choice ;)Think about it. Your hypothesis seems reasonable, but I still believe he is telling the truth. He needs money to transport his body to his family elsewhere.He did mention this is an exit scam, and we all assumed the obvious. But, he does have a big family.

I still can't believe we just lost the greatest scam fighter in bitcointalk history, and that we would never be able to see him again. The same thing happened with Hal, one of the greatest minds of our century, and now Bruno. I am...out of words. I know this won't help change anything, but can Bruno's accounts be changed to VIP status and can admins protect it so no one tries to hack it and use it for awful purposes. Formal plead, please @admins.

I got a chance to interact with him when he was recruiting for his project YoToCo.in. we've talked and discussed business. he was so polite and calm. he was one the most decent person in crypto I've talked ever.

Yeah, I remember one time he sent me a PM showing me how easy it was to fake a screenshot after I'd posted in a thread about that--and the PM Bruno sent obviously took some effort which he didn't have to make. He was also one of the first personalities I got familiar with when I registered over five years ago (along with Vod). He had a great reputation as a scam buster for a long time, and I hated to see that reputation get sullied toward the end when he sold one or more of his accounts. That's water under the bridge now, however, and I'm saddened to see him gone.

I really don't want to see those btc burned. --- I am not the type of person to say rest in peace or see you in the other world, because I don't believe in either.

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: GazetaBitcoin on April 11, 2020, 05:38:47 PM Hey guys. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just found this: https://www.everhere.com/us/obituaries/nv/las-vegas/bruno-kucinskas-jr-10682556 It is very sad what just happened... I feel so sorry for him and I wish my deepest condolences to his family :( I was in the first 10 who donated for him, although not a big amount and although I never knew him. I wish the donations will reach to his family (although I'm not sure how) and to have his last wish fulfilled... Rest in peace Bruno and may God take care of your soul! Just a matter of curiosity: do you have any idea who made that obituary? If it was made by his family, maybe they can be announced they have a part of the money for transporting him home...? Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: OgNasty on April 11, 2020, 06:49:58 PM Bruno was so extremely helpful in the BFL saga.

Rest peacefully.

Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: bonesjonesreturns on April 11, 2020, 08:39:34 PM Bruno was a true legend. A real enthusiast and tenacious scam hunter. He also had the ability to entertain and be incredibly funny while busting scammer balls.
Those paying tribute now should be proud of themselves. Those heaping praise whilst he was active should be prouder still. I know that it meant a lot to bruno to know his hard work was appreciated. It is a shame the best ones always seem to pass too early. I hope he will be recorded in a hall of fame here..

RIP is generally a Christian saying and may not be for everyone. It's just a wish that his soul finds eternal peace in heaven. Given the size of the scar on his head and the nature of his ailment, I would say his death was anything but quick and likely not painless either. I cannot imagine the anguish of knowing you have a short time left on this earth and you can't see your loved ones for one last hug before your time is up. I guarantee his family doesn't have all they need given they weren't able to see him when he was on death's doorstep and no phone call from some anonymous internet forum user is going to change that. It's just not realistic.

Yesterday I sent an inquiry on this site (https://www.everhere.com/us/contact-us) with the hope that they may know any of his family member's contact. I really hope they response.

I'm sure that he left his account and address info to his family to get the btc donations.
Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Quickseller on April 12, 2020, 09:26:54 PM Bruno was a really good guy. I only knew him from his interactions with him here, but he always put in effort to make people laugh. He also put in a lot of effort to try to protect the vulnerable from getting stolen from, over the years, he had gotten banned umpteen times but he would just create and/or use other accounts to continue his work and provide meaningful interactions with the community. He ended up with multiple accounts in the top rankings in terms of numbers of posts. Unlike many others, he didn’t attempt to maximize his earnings from participating here. If you ask my opinion, he genuinely cares about the bitcointalk community.
Bruno is actually the only forum member who has heard my voice. A year or two back, he was trying to prove he hadn’t sold his account and I called him to verify his phone number was still connected to him, and I vouched for him. I’ve texted, emailed and traded with other forum members but not spoken on the phone. Based on his obituary and what he wrote, it doesn’t sounds like he was terribly suffering immediately before his death and for that I am glad. RIP.

For someone who's been on crypto for a long time, I'm pretty sure when he received such bad news months ago, he already told his closest relative (his daughter maybe) on how to access those cryptos he kept including those we just recently donated.

It might sound cheesy, but the funeral home also had a "buy a tree" link, so that might also be something worth doing. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: nutildah on April 13, 2020, 10:27:39 AM His relatives may already know about this donation. Indeed. They are. At least one of them is. That's all I can say about it. It might sound cheesy, but the funeral home also had a "buy a tree" link, so that might also be something worth doing. Honestly this sounds like a good idea if you have funds and need to do something with them. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: guigui371 on April 13, 2020, 10:18:43 PM I believe he had a lot of preparation. Including this one, I think we have been thinking too much about how to help him. Just donate and wait for the money to be used sometime in the future :D (Or it is always there :P ). I think that Bruno knew that the funerals wouldnt be that expensive, had enough money for the coming events and may have organized the private keys to be delivered to his family using a delayed email service planned for like 6 months from today or maybe a 30 days rolling one. A little bit like a dead-man switch. He wouldn't be perverse and make the coins lost for everybody (especially his family). Anyway, a great bitcoinner was lost. Rest In Peace. PS : I'm just surprised that someone that started in 2011 and has been so prolific here isn't worth at least 1 million usd.

I'm so sorry for the whole family. His posts were definitely out there but always put a smile on my face. RIP.

I always enjoyed reading your frequent posts in the the Cryptsy thread. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.msg17463459#msg17463459) I had a few funny exchanges (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.msg18334862#msg18334862)with you along the way iirc, sometimes even involving goats and such. You always made me chuckle. And your scam busting was second to none. I will miss you dearly around these parts as I'm sure many other folks will too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.msg13675202#msg13675202 Respects... RIP my good friend. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: JollyGood on April 14, 2020, 10:28:49 AM For those that knew Bruno I send my condolences.

I do not want to come across in any way shape or form either disrespectful but these are the balances according to the addresses he was asking donations for in the OP: 0.74414384 BTC - approximately $5,103.00 USD 5.13849130 BCH - approximately $1,154.21 USD 0.129424983 ETH - approximately $0.24 USD The donations were requested for a specific purpose so does anybody know what will happen to those funds and does anybody have access to them to ensure they will be spent in accordance to his wishes?

Unfortunately, he passed way too soon for those type of arrangements to be made.

Keeping the sadness of the situation in mind at least there is some good news that his family will get the funds. I apologise if I came across somewhat forward but thank you nonetheless for manner in which you clarified it.

One of the scary parts of the current Covid separating of people seems to be that even folks who are on their deathbeds seem to be less able to communicate with family members, which seems to have been partly true with Bruno, but is likely worse when some people end up getting intubated because they end up having the virus or even a quickly deteriorating physical condition and therefor are not really able to communicate last words (which does not seem to have been the case with Bruno from what information we have, and maybe we do not even need to know those kinds of details). Surely if we do not know details regarding how much or how well that some people might not have been able to communicate in the end or even if they were able to communicate all of their final wishes regarding use of funds, the second best case scenario would be that someone in a situation like Bruno's would have been at least able to appoint someone that he trusted to handle those affairs and to carry out his intentions to the best of their abilities, including if there may have been some changes in circumstances or expected expenses... For example, if Bruno's body is NOT going to be transported to Indiana, which seems to be the case because of the description of cremation, that expense is NOT there but there still might be other similar kinds of expenses or even some second level intentions that are known by the trustee that Bruno appointed and have not been communicated to us by Bruno, so even if Bruno may not have known how some of his death expenses were going to play out at least the person who he appointed would thereby try to carry out Bruno's wishes in other ways. It sounded like Bruno was soliciting funds (in the final "exit scam') to try to allay some his final death expenses from his next of kin. In these kinds of circumstances, sometimes it is not easy to know what is going on exactly, which nutildah had mentioned, or even to anticipate what is going to happen with the funds with specifics, including whether the Corona virus situation had some unexpected turn of events for Bruno's specifics, and surely Bruno seemed to have ended up dying nearly 50 days sooner than what he had communicated to us.. which may have caused for some fewer preparations being carried out, perhaps? Anyhow, as I am trying to suggest, how donated funds are used would be a matter of concern for anyone who had donated to that fund** and should be alleviated somewhat, too, if Bruno, at least was able to ensure that someone he trusted had control over the donated funds/addresses, and without specifics nutildah seems to be assuring that a person that Bruno trusts had been assigned by Bruno. **Similarly, anyone who might still be contemplating sending more funds to any of those addresses that Bruno had provided would reasonably have similar concerns.

I remain a bit unclear regarding what might be wrong/insufficient with my earlier points. Bruno was hospitalized in December 2019 (look at the photos), given two months to live. He literally posted his plead during the last week of his life. The funeral home in Las Vegas, was the first to report Bruno's death. Then one in Indiana reported his funeral taking place - so obviously something was transferred. If you take his religion into consideration, cremation is an option, but doesn't exclude transfer necessarily. Thus I fail to see why so many assumptions from your part. Finally, coming off and saying that we should be concerned about the past or future donations, is low. Do you get that, or do I need to spell it out? Not here JJG.

I doubt everyone has the same perspective as you in regards to how clear everything happens to be around the use of the funds in connection with bruno or even if there might be some concerns about who might be in control of those funds (seemingly assigned by Bruno) or even if some people might still be considering to donate to those addresses, so maybe some of your information here is helpful to clarify matters. Perhaps? Seems to me that you are presuming more than me, but whatever, I don't feel any need to battle about possible levels of presumption that might exist on behalf of either of us. Essentially, I said my part in my earlier post, and you seem to have clarified (or at least attempted to clarify) your part regarding the purported reasonings for your "meh" post. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Railai on April 14, 2020, 10:33:03 PM I've contacted the family and did one more donation.

Many of you told me that we shouldn't do it, but I had to know if they have all they need. ATM costs are mostly covered, I can't give more details as it won't be fair.

I doubt that it is even disrespectful of Bruno himself or even the legacy of Bruno to be questioning these various matters, and even if Bruno preferred to go riding silently into the sunset, then why would he write such an OP soliciting forum participation?

By the way, even though historically, I have not necessarily agreed with hilariousetc on a variety of his posts in the past, recently, I had sent him smerits in several of his recent posts related to bruno, because I do believe that he was raising a lot of good points in regards to healthy thinking in regards to the whole situation, including considering that we are on a forum that has a history of sometimes people engaging in behaviors that take advantage of the forum setting, and maybe some members had not come across that thread or those posts, so for convenience, I link the most recent one from hilariousetc in that thread, here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239973.msg54261699#msg54261699).

I don't see why there is anything to discuss, and especially here and now. Here we go again, you guys bragging on something which the Mods understand when it right for them to lock the topic and if they choose not to till now is simply because they understand some people still need to place their condolences rather creating more topic for this.Anyone who is so eager to discuss the last actions of a dying person, should open up a thread about that. :-[ You're just embarrassing yourselves, but what ever. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ChuckBuck on April 22, 2020, 06:28:43 AM Don't create any other posts in this topic unless you have some important notice regarding donation fund ;) It is my personal opinion, I just think that this thread should not continue to be pumped too much, but I don't mean this topic should be locked, so don't get me wrong. As long as there are important updates, you can post whenever you like. I don't want to cause any controversy here either, don't argue ::) There are a few thoughts around Bruno's situation, I think we should continue to be there, not here. Thanks JJG for sharing the link ;) Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Timelord2067 on April 22, 2020, 06:32:05 AM Bruno's Plead was for ~ BTC 2.0 - so far the donations (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1FkHCFv8PN1kerJct3RsQQpMcRoTnx2vWe) fall well short of that figure, so there is no necessity to lock this thread. All other discussions are unnecessary.
Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ChuckBuck on April 22, 2020, 06:51:57 AM Bruno's Plead was for ~ BTC 2.0 It's $20.000 - for the transport of corpses. But I believe that this money will be used for other purposes or never for anything. so far the donations (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1FkHCFv8PN1kerJct3RsQQpMcRoTnx2vWe) fall well short of that figure, so there is no necessity to lock this thread. All other discussions are unnecessary. Have you made a decision yet? Donate your fund or send something like a wreath to commemorate? I can understand a bit about what hilariousetc wants to say, he's just trying to give as many cases as possible around this problem, sometimes what we saw is not really accurate, as long as we believe. hilariousetc only worries if someone is impersonating Bruno, so don't scold him ::) It is also an issue that should be discussed although it is not strictly necessary here.(and that should have read ~ BTC 3.0 <--- typo) huh?Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Timelord2067 on April 22, 2020, 09:14:17 AM Have you made a decision yet? We're down to the last week for people to have their say and cast their vote. So far there hasn't been much in the way of dissension. (and that should have read ~ BTC 3.0 <--- typo) Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Railai on April 23, 2020, 10:38:55 AM Highly appreciated the effort of the shit community out there :) Sending more than 1000 usd at this time value of btc and you get negative feedbacks.
Pieces of shit. Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ChuckBuck on April 23, 2020, 11:14:03 AM Highly appreciated the effort of the shit community out there :) Sending more than 1000 usd at this time value of btc and you get negative feedbacks. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D LoL Don't curse yourself as shit, kid ;D ;D ;D ;D You're just a damn kid lying about making a donation. Did you talk to Bruno's family? Nonsense, bullshit! Did you donate a thousand dollars? Can you provide tx? Damn kid ??? Some negative trust are worthwhile for your actions. Unless you prove you sent the money by tx, get out of here and don't insult others, you're a pile of shit. Please hold the dignity of a person, don't be shit :-\Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: Timelord2067 on April 23, 2020, 12:14:41 PM ... Probably if you look at the first post I did in this topic, you can find my first donation and my address ;)... I looked through his history, not even going to waste my time posting all the evidence, this guy is guy is full of shit. ...and here is Railai's first post in this thread: I don't know who you are or what you did for the forum or for bitcoin itself. I sent something, I hope it will help you out on your last journey home. Why? Because the system failed you and us. Such costs should not be allowed. People shouldnt sell their places to take their loved ones back to the family's rest place. I had last year myself a tragic moment with my dad dying abroad and taking him home, it was a nightmare. Quite soon I will have another case, so I totally feel what your family is going through. I hope your life was good, i hope it offered good and bad moments and I hope that made others happy. M. ...and here comes his next negative trust feedback (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2730493)... Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: ZaraCB on April 27, 2020, 06:10:21 AM I want to say something irrelevant to this post.
Can Phinnaeus Gage's (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792) profile negative trust be removed now? https://i.imgur.com/IDsXw9n.jpg Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: snipie on April 27, 2020, 10:07:10 AM I want to say something irrelevant to this post. The only possible action is to ask hilariousandco to remove it (or making it neutral) which is unlikely to happen. I prefer letting it. Let the bitcointalk history diggers find something to read and judge :)Can Phinnaeus Gage's (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792) profile negative trust be removed now? https://i.imgur.com/IDsXw9n.jpg Title: Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor Post by: vapourminer on April 27, 2020, 10:39:34 AM I want to say something irrelevant to this post. Can Phinnaeus Gage's (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792) profile negative trust be removed now? https://i.imgur.com/IDsXw9n.jpg as much as i liked bruno i must admit he was an aquired taste (not that thats bad). and sometimes he went overboard on his odd sense of humor (again not a bad thing). but negative trust removal.. i dislike revisionist history. even if some are not deserved.. those negative trust ratings will be ignored by anyone who knew bruno and does their own research. brunos track record stands for itself. he was one of the great scambusters. no need to beautify it..
