Mr Finney,
I know first hand how living with ALS looks like.
As you are in academics, I am sure you know about Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSoI am very sad to hear that.
Live long and Prosper, in a transcendent way.
I propose that 100 Satoshis, i.e. a micro-bitcoin, henceforth be known as one Finney in Hal's honor.
I support this proposition. 0.000001 = A Finney / Pronounced a 'finneh' (slang) eg. "Got a couple finneys from rain yesterday"
ALL IN FAVOR, QUOTE THIS MESSAGE
