Unlike "Running Bitcoin", I do not think that his tweets were focused on Bitcoin, and the account will certainly not be archived because of that tweet.
It seems his tweets were short describing the things he was doing and it's good that he tried to add some privacy to bitcoin transactions.

Here's a link archive of Hal's profile: https://archive.vn/q8LPH

Unfortunately the individual Tweets can't seem to be archived unless you do it one by one, which requires a good amount of time — for those who want to see the responses to the tweets.

Not sure how to interpret what Elon wrote

LOL! This stands even in a lot of cases people would think that Elon was much clearer in his tweets Cheesy

The late Hal is a legend in these circles, but his Twitter activity doesn't really bear any significance for Bitcoin nor would the deletion of his account cause an important loss for the ecosystem. If that number on your picture is correct, he made only 41 tweets, and most of them don't even have anything to do with BTC. Some are also retweets of what other people said.  

You are partly correct; but "never say never". We don't know when somebody decides he wants to check Hal's awake hours or writing style or whatever... let's not waste what we can easily keep.


Since I am not so big of a Twitter user, I had to check your image for Hal's Twitter handle (of the many accounts called Hal Finney, heh).
But imho a much better approach is to archive this as text so people can also search in it. And I think/hope that this will do the job: Archive of Hal Finney's tweets and replies

Not sure how to interpret what Elon wrote and what the requirements for an account to be deleted are.
He said accounts with no tweets will be deleted. Hal's account has tweets. The other requirement is no log ins for years. Unless someone from Hal's family logs into his Twitter account from time to time, that could be a reason for account deletion. We will have to see whether both conditions must be met for a Twitter account to be deleted or if one of them is enough.

According to Elon, Twitter will soon start freeing the name space of 1.5 billion accounts.
These are obvious account deletions with no tweets & no log in for years.


I am not sure if Hal Finney's account will be preserved or not, so to make sure we have the whole history preserved, I am making this post.
