[348Judah]

All i wish right now is that nature should return us back with his kind, as to everyone of us, let's put in mind that life is very short but we must live our best while in it, we should create time for quality things that could not only benefit us but the entire world, am very sure he will forever be remembered on earth and still be rewarded in eternity.

Permit me to bump this thread as it's almost two days ago in remembrance of Hal Finney Birthday celebration.

Happy Birthday to Hal Finney You will never be forgotten in the history of life and digital technology, it's almost two days now before wishing you a happy birthday but i believe it's never too late in saying happy birthday in arrears Hal of blessed memory, born May 4, 1956 and rest to retire from this sinful world on 28th August 2014.

On behalf of I and the entire bitcointalk community we are wishing you a happy birthday as you're part of the reason we all have this common goal of financial freedom through your perfect determination on research and development being a cypherpunk, we love you, we met down the history you laid and we enjoy every bit of your contributions to bitcoin.

Happy Birthday in Arrears!
Continue to Rest in Peace Hal.

Wonderful shoutout to a true legend.
One of the sentiments I tend to repeat: Some day in the future we will see the bitcoin whitepaper published in schoolbooks. Hopefully with a big mention of Hal Finney, too.

Got me to check up on the infamous Who-Is-Satoshi-Debate. There is quite a bit of circumstancial evidence that SN was indeed Hal Finney, but I removed the link on request out of respect to Hal Finney and family.
It's not really a secret though, so don't really believe it makes a (huge) difference.

It's advisable not to contribute to (or provide links to) such speculation.  Whoever satoshi may have been, they're considered wealthy beyond reason.  With such a vast fortune seemingly unclaimed, you're effectively painting a target on the backs of Hal Finney's surviving relatives.  Something he certainly wouldn't have wanted.  Show him respect by not endangering his loved ones.

Even in death, people seemingly can't have peace these days.

Happy posthumous birthday Hal Finney. It's been 9 years since you departed to the great beyond but your legacy speaks. You've left footprints in our hearts, you've left indelible marks on the sands of time. Live forevermore legend!

A lot of Twitter bitcoinists were twitting about his birthday and it's good to see that he's been celebrated all around the world for his contribution to the success of bitcoin.

While I get where you are coming from with your statement, I don't really think it's something that can / will really help to protect any family members in the sense that all this info is publicly available and people will continue to specualte. For a good reason, humans are curious and with such a massive invention like Bitcoin, this will sooner or later be part of public mainstream-knowledge. Including all the possible scenarios to who SN could most likely be.

Bump

It's nine years already that we had an ugly experience which led to the departure of our dear beloved Hero and Mentor Hal Finney, i almost forgot this not until i came across the post on Twitter https://twitter.com/DocumentingBTC/status/1696133488385097974?t=zDfLnlfACGhK5RTLUIXj0g&s=19 in remembrance of his departure yesterday, bitcointalk community missed you and the whole decentralized digital network and blockchain technology missed you, i recently bumped this thread as well in marking the very last day Hal made his bitcointalk forum post and now it's an another day to remember of his demise but his legacies remained till eternity, continue to rest Hal, you've acted your own part before you left and we are part of the beneficiaries to that with bitcoin today.

I know I have stumbled upon the post of Hal Finney before and re-reading it made me feel so empathetic with what he had gone through. He is in a better place now and it is indeed that he is a legend and has a great legacy.

I hope that everyone gets motivated with the technological curiosity that he has towards Bitcoin etc.

Truly, an individual whose mark on the realm of digital currency is unparalleled. Hal's work created a solid basis that shows the possibilities of decentralised digital currency. This is about more than simply money and books; it's about altering financial structures and ensuring that everyone on the earth has an equal chance to succeed.

It's interesting, and here's a fact that could sound a little like nonsense but is still interesting: Hal was posthumously cryopreserved. As a result, there is a slim chance that we might see him again in the future due to developments in technology and medicine. The individual who created the foundation for the financial future is deserving of another chance at life more than anybody else.
