Great post @creationlayer , Aaron is one of my biggest inspirations. If you plan to continue this series and making bank on it, please consider donating at least part of the proceeds to each persons charity of choice.
For Aaron Schwartz the group would be http://blog.givewell.org/2013/01/16/in-memory-of-aaron-swartz/ according to his family wishes.
I dont wanna be a dick, and I want these echos of his memory to happen and spread - I just dont feel great about people directly profiting from these sorts of posts. Something to think about..
I completely understand. I will do so. I was trying to get in touch with those managing the hal finney wallet, which has 14 BTC and is stagnant but no reply. I will donate with my Bitcoin credit card to charities related to these people. I don't plan to only talk about people that are dead, or have a horrible situation, it just happens that two of my biggest icons are gone. I will make sure to update the community on that. Hal Finney wallet where nothing has moved, https://blockchain.info/address/1JsnZLEGgLJY7rbDdaKTzC2JyvfaKUpF5p Bitcoin is easiest, but ALS has many options.
Re: directly profiting, well I'm here to share stories. If people like or don't like I can't decide. There's countless people in history to share stories about dead, alive or disabled etc, my only goal is to inspire and remember. The support keeps the process going. I don't think people should feel discouraged to write about those that inspire them, because they died. Donation has always been a goal, if it's appropriate.
Thanks mate, I do like the article and I'm sure it'll do well cos everyone loves Aaron :)
no worries at all, I appreciate to see someone else knows of this legend, and wish you the best on this community.
Cheers. I wish I could write as well as you do.
You word the england good (and that) ;)
