I'm sure many of you have already seen this, but Hal Finney passed away
on Tuesday. While his body is being cryogenically preserved, we should
all take a moment to thank Hal for everything he did for the cypherpunk
community, specifically helping hugely in the early days of Bitcoin as
well as PGP.

No, I have not noticed yet. I did not know him personally, but it still
makes me sad now. Last year he wrote on Bitcoin Talk in a
thought-provoking way about his disease:

I think a very inspiring Character for all of us. Not only because of
his work.
