Today, one year after Hal Finney's Death

[Amph]

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

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.

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

He even tested to IP Bitcoin transactions (removed some versions ago)?, maybe Satoshi shared with him his real IP for tests?

since Hal passed bitcoin has gone downhill

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

[Blawpaw]

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

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.

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?

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.

Could be, reincarnation.

Rest in peace man.

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!
