Sad to hear. Hal did great work his entire career, and was one of the earliest bitcoin adopters: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0 |
Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

He last logged on to bitcointalk.org on April 9th, 2014. I wonder what was going through his mind between then and now. His last post: We used checks. For high value transactions, cashier's checks. I don't know how this transfers to a bitcoin environment. Oh, there wasn't as much mail order back then. Most shopping was local.

They say only the good die young. He was a very good man. Bitcoin won't be the same without him. With deep regret I wish peace of spirit and condolences to his family.

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

The world was made a better place thanks to Hal Finney's efforts.
I hope his family knows how much this community appreciates him.
Will they have a service even if he is being preserved?
If so, an address to send flowers would be good.
