Post by: girlbtc.com on October 17, 2016, 03:34:50 AM
I have a serious question , what if Theymos die......

What will happen to this forum.

I have read a lot from the history of this forum , especially the donate  (https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html)topic, I found out Theymos has paid a lot time and energe to this forum.

He is the master of this forum. but , uhmmm....of course he is healthy now,  what if he dies with accidence.

Will the hosting going on?

Will the forum being mixed or out of control?

It is a centralised forum, based on Theymos' healthy?

I don't think this is a problem. There are other forums around. If this one is not maintained or out-dated, people will move to others. Of course I hope all bitcoiners will remain healthy until we reach the moon- we have so few of us, especially the active ones...

If theymos dies in real life, I don't think the news would reach to us unless somebody in this forum knows about him personally. People would just assume that theymos ran away if so but this forum would remain as it is. There are other admins now. There's BadBear and the newly promoted admin, Cyrus. Every one in this forum will eventually die so it's only normal for the staffs to have somebody replace them just in case their death comes sooner than expected.

See the section "THE BITCOIN FORUM" here:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=t9h2pL2y
And the list of trustees / community council members here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155002.0

Basically the people listed on the second link will vote to replace him with someone else.  The list of trustees haven't been updated since last year though...

Nice catch! Looks like theymos hasn't been with us for a while now. My guess is that Dank has been running the forum since his demise.

Theymos is not actively spending his time here for a long time i guess,he is busy elsewhere ,bitcointalk might be safe even in the absence of Theymos ,bitcoin is fine even in the absence of SATOSHI ,so i am sure there will be back up regarding this too . long live THEYMOS

If whatever happens to theymos if he chose tokeep the forum alive he can always ask someone else to or maybe trust someone as a replacement just in case something like this happen. He is not the only one who is managing the forum so someone provably will take over.

what about the domain, who ever holds the domain owns the website. what if, who will renew the domain and the hosting.

who is the main founder of this forum? or the first username ever created after the admin

Indeed, theymos is a great man as I heard. But also there's a group of people who manage this forum. If theymos dies, some other admin guy will take over. Maybe, already they got someone else in queue to manage forum.   ;)

I heard that theymos is the first human being to exist entirely on the blockchain. a decentralized human will live forever. let's hope he ain't forked.

what about the domain, who ever holds the domain owns the website.
IIRC Sirius was the one holding the domain right now, not theymos.
Sirius is also the one who's mainly responsible for the creation of this forum, together with Satoshi.

who is the main founder of this forum? or the first username ever created after the admin
admin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1) is the account with uid 1.
uid 2 is blank and missing, after that there's
satoshi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3) with uid 3 (who also carries a Founder tag).
sirius (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4) with uid 4.
uid 5 same as 2 is blank.
nandnor (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=6) with uid 6 claims to be the first regular user account and was for sale (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1606113.msg16124984#msg16124984) recently.

Sexy. I'd fork that.



Maybe his widow would pick up the forum and run it more like a business. Maybe Theymos Jr. would drop out of school after girlbtc.com murdered his father in cold blood his papa mysteriously disappears off the face of the earth.

The only question will be whether somebody else has access to the forum funds.
I remember that there was an issue when one of the treasurers of this forum passed away...

Forum funds were distributed by Theymos to what he felt like trusted members and there was a story that someone died a slow death and with him the funds disappeared and no one seems to notice that it seems a bit strange with more than 100 btc ,woot ;D

In re the title of this thread, Craig Steven Wright will announce how he and theymos really created Bitcoin.

"Craig, are you for certain that theymos had his personal private key tattooed below his left nipple?"

Very seriously good question. I hope people currently at the helm of affairs have devised the plan for such event.I wish theymos a long life but we all have to die someday and there must be a proper delegation of ownership plan in place

[...]

Theymos may not die, since he is obviously not an individual human, but a group of people managing the forum and simply using this account. The forum was created by Satoshi himself, and he is likely still in this group of forum gods. Why would he actually want to leave?

Conspiracy theories aside, he must have already taken precautions that the forum should go on if something should happen to him

Every one in this forum will eventually die so it's only normal for the staffs to have somebody replace them just in case their death comes sooner than expected.

Not necessarily. Personally, I'm going to live forever. So far, so good

I am quite sure Theymos has thought about it and put countermeasures in place if he ever gets hit by a bus or something.

But as deisik pointed its also possible that a group of individual's are behind the Theymos account to prevent one point of failure.

It's not nice to talk about what happens if Theymos die. How he must feel if he read this topic.
If talk serious, from where you will know if theymos died?
As I remember, on of the forum moderator Parapain died few years ago. He had part of forum funds. And these funds are lost.

Theymos is young and healthy.  He has many more years.

If theymos die, vod cry
