He has been a part of a great revolution,

He has left when the whole world is becoming aware of ALS with ice bucket,

May he Rest in peace.

One day his prediction of 10 million per bitcoin will become true, That day the whole world will know about him and he will live forever in History.

So long, exceptional person.

Hal was a central figure of modern cryptography and will be remembered forever.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Finney_(cypherpunk)

RIP.  That is crazy he went under cryo.  Do you know how much they have to pay up front for that?  Easily $500,000.  

He was cryopreserved at Alcor.  Whole-body is around $200k and neuro (just your head) is around $80k.

You pay with insurance (usually) so you don't need to come up with that money in a lump sum.

Go to ALCOR.org to read more about it, and how much it costs. A lot of technically knowledgable people are involved - including Ralph Merlke. (Look up Merlke trees in bitcoin etc)


RIP. We'll see ya in the future

Very sad day indeed.. I just thought about him the other day. I wonder why they went the cryogenics route... I hope it works for them. I agree, we should call the next decimal a finney or a Hal, but Finney has a better ring to it..

Rest in peace. We should put his name to a BTC unit, like Satoshi.

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.

May I suggest a donation in honor of Hal?

RIP.

(Is it terrible that I'm now wondering whether Satoshi will briefly come out of hiding to pay his respects? Undecided)

Cool as fuck that he's being cryogenically preserved. RIP Mr Finney, hopefully we'll see you soon.
