Fixed that for them:
Hal Finney, the renowned cryptographer, coder, and bitcoin pioneer, died Thursday morning at the age of 58 after five years battling ALS. He will be remembered for a remarkable career that included working as the number-two developer on the groundbreaking encryption software PGP in the early 1990s, creating one of the first "remailers" that presaged the anonymity software Tor, and---more than a decade later---becoming the first programmer to work on bitcoin's open source code; in 2009, he sent the very first bitcoin transaction to himself as Satoshi Nakamoto.
