I'm not on here much any more, but I went to make a donation to the ALS foundation in memory of Hal the other day and noted that the donation address that got set up back in 2014 has 14 BTC in it which nobody ever spent, and the wallet hasn't been touched in years.

Granted, that was supposed to run until a closing date, and those donations came in after that date, but the wallet that could spend them wouldn't have dropped the key. Or at least it shouldn't have.

I'm hoping someone at the ALS foundation still has the key? Or someone who managed the whole thing for them still does? It would be a real shame, IMO, if that much in donations just got left twisting in the wind.

Hi Cryddit,

I will reach out to the ALS Foundation today and make sure they are aware of their BTC. I do not have any knowledge of how this was set up but if they have trouble I will get a contact person name/number and send it to you by PM?

Best regards,
Ben
