Crypto pioneer Hal Finney to be honored with charity half-marathon event.
The charity said itis seeking to raise funds from the event by offering official “Running Bitcoin” t-shirts and rare Hal Finney collectibles to some contributors.. In 2004, he created Reusable Proof of Work , a system that allowed Hashcash coins to be reused by recipients. RPOW is often seen as a type of proto-cryptocurrency, although it used a central server instead of a decentralized network.
Finney also contributed code to the Bitcoin codebase in 2008 and early 2009, before it was released to the public in January 2009. He was the recipient of the first ever Bitcoin transaction, in which Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 Bitcoin. Hal Finney was an avid runner for much of his life before his diagnosis with ALS in August 2009. Following a multi-year battle with the disease, he was cryonically preserved in 2014.
