Finney is known as the second-ever bitcoin user after the "real" Satoshi Nakamoto. He was also one of the first to support the idea of crypto currency, having received a letter-description of the concept from the creator of the project. Hi received the very first Bitcoin transaction sent by Satoshi Nakamoto, at least, about this, Finney himself wrote here on the forum. There are even versions that it is he who is Satoshi. He died at the age of 58 after five years of battle
of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2014

Here it is not about the user
The event that gave rise to the bitcoin. The first transaction for the transfer of bitcoins occurred on January 12, 2009 -
Satoshi Nakamoto sent
Hal Finney 10 bitcoins. The first transaction of coins was made on
block 170.
This was actually a test payment Satoshi sent to me during debugging. I see in my email logs I offered to send it back but it seems I didn't.
It was an IP-address based payment.
