I was dazed when I open the post and saw a lot of people who have merited from this singular post, for me to check the date I saw 2013 was really surprized why the post will come up after this long time. But going through this post I was happy for you and to know there is actually someone who knows about the inception of Bitcoin. Thank you for sharing.

Maybe this thread should be locked on his 65th Birthday?  Or maybe he at least deserve that spam gets deleted regularly?

No wonder Hal had such a large stake in Bitcoin, he would be 65 today, recalls the community. In particular, he wishes he had been alive and seen more of his posts demonstrating his genius, but every time I read his posts here on the forum, I feel the good energy and intelligence that he caused.

This article is a kind of tribute to him, very good and is a pleasant read that goes through a lot of history in a nutshell:

Finney was a well known cryptographer who worked for the PGP Corporation — later acquired by Symantec — in the development of software allowing users to encrypt emails and files. Even though one of his last messages said he was “essentially paralyzed,” Finney used an eyetracker system to write code aimed at beefing up the security around crypto wallets.

Hi sir, I am still a newbie in the Bitcoin environment, I am very jealous of your success and I want to be one like you, but for beginners like me it will be very difficult to get started. because to join the campaign needs merited. and to get it is very difficult. It takes some generous people to share their merited with a beginner like me.

You know, Hal Finey never joined a signature campaign. Hal Finney joined the forum because he was genuinely interested in the project and not because of the money from the signature campaign and merit you get from posting quality posts. if you really want to be like him, stop begging for merit, start reading and learning. you'll eventually earn merit if you stay long enough in the forum while contributing to a discussion or sharing information you know or learned.

Thanks bitbollo for sharing this tweet.

I saw some tweets where there were pictures with his wife and he was even a marathoner with his wife. He and Satoshi left a great legacy that will last for generations. I have no words to describe the pride I feel in knowing in this thread all his work, he was a visionary man with an impressive humility, that only very few can possess. I can simply perceive that he was a brilliant man.

[aoluain]

What a legacy indeed, where would we be without his involvement? May he rest in peace.

RIP Hal! Thank you for your contribution to Bitcoin!

Good to be part of history, thank you Hal for everything you did for cryptocurrencies, one of the true Crypto OG's.

May God give you best in your afterlife.

I have translated your text for our Crypto.ba community, some of them just dont understand what happened on begining.

idols never die!

This is one of the best inspirational stories I read before. Even when life kept you down, you refused to stay down. Many of us haven't experienced even quarter of your problems yet we give up easily.
I hope this story meets those that need to also hear it. Whatever we become is a product of the choices we make even in our darkness moment.
You're a legend Sir 🙌🙌🙌
Keep soaring ❤️
