TecShare - Farewell my friend.

[MudDev]

Hello, With a very heavy heart I come to you with some saddening news about my friend TecShare (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=15728).

I have been searching for him for a while since his disappearance, and we found out that he passed away 6 months ago due to what was suspected to be an aneurysm/severe stroke.

I'm sure many of you may be wondering where he was, as he was very active here in the bitcoin community, so I hope this news gives closure to anyone here who where close to him.

My adventure with Tec started with IFC (Infinite Coin), and it has been an adventure to our last conversation in July of 2020. He was always full of fun and interesting ideas, and I really appreciated him as a friend.

He was also a very private person, so I'll keep a lot of details brief. I know he will surely be missed by a lot of people here, and I will surely miss Tec, and will treasure the impact he's had on this community and our friendship.

I was wondering where he might have gone but you're a 5 post newbie who's first post back since they signed up in June 2020 is to announce his death, so I would take this with a grain of salt without further proof.

[PrimeNumber7]

If you are telling the truth, then RIP. I enjoyed reading his posts, even if I did not always agree with him.

I would agree with hilariousandco and ask the OP to provide some kind of proof/evidence of what he is saying, or some kind of evidence that he knew TecShare personally.

[msy2008]

I can’t believe this is true. I hope this information is false. He is a very upright person. He is a person worthy of my respect.
He is the predecessor of developing the Infinitecoin project.

[kruglikov]

Without proof that is just a ridiculous and immoral attempt to get some attention a maybe merits.

[DireWolfM14]

I too have been wondering what happened to Tecshare, but I hoped he was just taking a break from the forum.  I hope this is nothing more than some sick joke, although I fear that it may not be.  His posting pattern hadn't changed until he abruptly stopped, which sort of supports the OPs claims.

I wish him the best in his journey, where ever that may lead.  

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I couldn't stand TECSHARE, but I hope this news is wrong.  OP, you need to give more details before anyone fully believes you (or maybe I should just speak for myself here).  That would fucking suck if he died, because he wasn't old by any means as far as I know.

Hopefully this is a death hoax.

Edit:

He and I had some private discussions and some of the thing he said made me think he was just a few years older than me, which would put him in the early to mid 50s.  Not old by any means.

Shoot, I thought he was even younger than that, 40s at the oldest.  Have you tried to contact him?  Has anyone tried to since this thread started up?

Man, I have no lingering hard feelings against TECSHARE and would prefer him to be alive and raging against the DT system than dead and gone.

Again, I hope this report is wrong but I'm afraid it may not be.

Are you in the same country with @TECSHARE.

If you look for it for 6 months and find it is now dead, at least you can give us something proof that @TECSHARE is dead, Or plausible proof that @TEC is dead.

What if in the next few months she posts here again and says she's fine, just taking time off, a few months when she's not active.

[hilariousetc]

Without proof that is just a ridiculous and immoral attempt to get some attention a maybe merits.

I'm not sure it's an attempt to gain merits but it could easily be trolling with a throwaway account. Anybody could come on here and proclaim a user who has disappeared for a while is dead or make up some other story. With that being said, tecshare didn't seem like the person to just leave so this story could be entirely plausible, but anyone can get annoyed with this place and just leave for whatever reason. Maybe op can at least offer some proof without revealing too much that they were in contact, but if not I'll err on the side of caution right now.

Op says a couple of things that hint we might not get any more info though ie He was also a very private person ie I can't provide anything more and the cause of death suspected to be an aneurysm/severe stroke, but surely if it was sixth months ago they would have known what it was by now.

[MudDev]

I honestly don't care if anyone believes me or not. Feel free to spend a few months tracking down someone who knew him to share the news with you. I'm not going to post personal details here, he was a private person, and I'm respecting that.

OP, I don't think anyone here is saying you're lying, but given that he is/was a pretty high-profile member of the forum, the community would like some kind of evidence or at least a lead on how this can be verified.  I never knew TECSHARE's name, and I don't know if anyone else did.  A lot of people traded with him, so I'm guessing at least a few members had that info.

I get that you want to respect his privacy, but as it stands this announcement is being made by a fairly unknown member who could be anyone, could have various motivations for making it, etc.  So if you have any evidence that wouldn't compromise his privacy (and if he's dead, I'm not sure how much that matters anyway), please post it or PM it to a trusted member who can verify his death.

Thank you for the understanding, DireWolfM14 did reach out, and I gave him the full details, when he's online he can share anything he feels that is relevant.

[crwth]

You know it's hard to believe somebody out of nowhere saying stuff about somebody that is inactive at the moment. It's going to be tough to validate it as well, but I hope this news is wrong. I had a couple of conversations with him, and he's a great member for sure. I hope that he is okay.

I think there's a way that you could give news about it without posting any personal details. You already said the cause, maybe share how you got that information? How you searched for him, etc.

Nobody's asking you to post his death certificate or his passport photo or something, but you have to see it from our point of view: you're a random newbie with a handful of posts and registered only last year that has popped up to proclaim someone dead, and you could just be taking advantage of his obvious absence. I am also a private person but there's plenty of people here who could reveal PMs or other messenger chats with me to prove that they were at least in contact with me without revealing any private or personal info. At the moment we don't even know if you ever interreacted with him at all and you haven't posted in any threads he was active in here, but on the flip side you could have been best mates with him for years on some other forum or messenger app. If you don't want to reveal anything like that then I'll respect you for respecting tecshare's right to privacy but most people here won't and shouldn't just take your word for it right now.

It's one of those catch 22 situations. His inactivity could easily insinuate he's passed away as he was very active and has been here years, but it's also easy for anyone to make something up about it, especially a newbie with little to no history here. I guess we'll just have to wait for DireWolfM14's comment on the matter.

Very quickly you get emotional we are not hypocritical, from your conversation we can judge, to be honest, you are hesitant to tell the truth.

You may respect someone, it's your human right, there's nothing to stop you, however, you know this is a forum, not a private space, If you claim something about someone else you need evidence to convince the community here, that's all the community asks for, nothing more, instead you speak indeterminate, how do you claim someone has died, without showing anything to convince other people.

Talking anyone can, evidence for the talk is what is needed.
What is the difficulty of showing evidence here that someone is gone, while you spend a lot of time looking for it.

[PrimeNumber7]

He traded with a lot of people in the forum, so there should be many people who know his IRL name. If this is true, a google search for his name should turn up an obituary from around the last time he was online.

[eddie13]

I believe it..
I was right in the middle of some deals with TS when he disappeared.. A goods deal where I was reselling products for him that he sent to me upfront and he never collected from me on a batch of stuff..
I tried and tried to get ahold of him on the IM app we used and here to get a payment address of where to send, and he never replied..

He disappeared right in the middle of him expecting money/coin from me..
If you were just going to “take time off” one would think you would tie up loose ends and make your collections before completely going dark..


I think he was even younger than most of you here are saying and I have a pretty good idea of where he lived..
I might even have his actual address but I didn’t pay attention to the address I was receiving from..

I can see if from both sides. If he's telling the truth then he's obviously going to be a bit upset that nobody believes he's lost a friend and to him it's as real as real can be. I think it was nutildah that got pretty annoyed with me and others when we questioned Bruno's death and this is a similar situation, but also if he's not telling the truth then it's like when scammers get called out early on they don't like that either and go on the defensive or attack. And I'm not saying he is lying, I just think we should wait for better confirmation as obviously right now this could be any guy saying anything. I guess with most of us being pretty private here it's not the easiest thing to verify when someone does pass and maybe he only found this info after hunting him down somehow via digital breadcrumbs and I don't think he has to share that info if he found something that others haven't (yet) and he might have used some of the previous private info he had from something like a trade he did which is understandable if he didn't want to share that.

He traded with a lot of people in the forum, so there should be many people who know his IRL name. If this is true, a google search for his name should turn up an obituary from around the last time he was online.

Assuming he used his real name and address for trades. I've done a couple physical trades with people here but I'd never give my real name or address out.

Stuff like this definitely makes it more plausible. Thanks for the info.

[TopTort777]

In one of Tecshare old posts he had shared his steam account url https://steamcommunity.com/id/tecshare. There, he used such names as “TECSHARE/ LOBSTER ANUS/ TADDY MASON / MINGUS DEW / CHEDDAR CHI / EXTRA CHI / TAI CHEESE / CYBORG GNOME / GOAT PISS / PLUMBUS”. Maybe someone can find any related tecshare info using/googling these names?

Also, he traded frequantly on steam. Perhaps his account is still logged-in on his pc, or he is still online (steam is just hidden in tray. Usually steam sets a start-up with pc start option). Maybe it is worth writting him in steam and notification message would pop-up on the screen. One of his family members/relatives/etc might notice it and answer if everything is ok with or not.

[DireWolfM14]

I reached out to the op to ask how he came by the information, without disclosing details.  He responded saying he and Techshare were in touch on a Skype group with just a few members.  They were able to connect with someone on Steam that new him personally.  The story seems very plausible.  MudDev sent me a link to the Steam chat where Techshare had interreacted with the person that new him, but I have not had a chance to go through it.  I'm at work right now, so I'll give it some time this evening.

Based on MudDev's PM and eddie13's experience I now fear that this report is very likely to be true.

My condolences to Tecshare's family, may he rest in peace.

ETA: I've always liked Tecshare, he was one of my favorite people on the forum.  It may not always seem that way when you look at our public discourse, but he was genuinely a good guy with a big heart.  He cared tremendously about this forum.  I've missed seeing him around these last few months, and I'm saddened to learn he won't be returning.

Godspeed, Techshare! 

[Niann]

I was a personal friend of Tec's, and unfortunately I have to tell you all that Mud's post is correct.

All one has to do to verify that fact is to check his other medias with the same nickname, they all stop at the same time, including steam, where he was active daily buying and selling games.
Unfortunately our friend died too young from what is believed to be a fulminant stroke, he was recently making several adjustments to his life so he could be healthier, but unfortunately that wasn't enough.

I am surprised by the extremely bad atittude from the community to someone giving news that are indeed true from a very private person, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

Tec was my friend, and I miss him.

[x42-ADM]

TECSHARE was a friend to most of our team, he will be sorely missed...

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I am surprised by the extremely bad atittude from the community to someone giving news that are indeed true from a very private person, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

The community seems to be skeptical, not necessarily negative, and for good reason.  OP is a random newbie giving us the news, and this is the internet where anyone can claim anything--so what you'll see is that most people hope that TECSHARE's death isn't true and want some evidence to back up OP's claim.

As I said, I didn't have a good relationship with TECSHARE and we bickered a lot, but I wouldn't have wished him dead by any means.  This looks like it's the truth, and I'm sorry to see him gone.  This sucks.

[Steamtyme]

Crazy, I read this and hoped it was just a rando saying things... which happens a lot around here.
 Tecshare was one of my early trades for a good old fashioned mystery box. Still have some of it in my camping supplies and the kids had fun with it. We had different stances on a lot of things but I still welcomed his presence and counterpoints. I legitimately hadn't noticed the posting gap, as I've been less active in a lot of areas.

I'm not surprised not many people knew what happened to them. There seems to be only a select few who new him across multiple platforms.

Edit: I did PM theymos to request the account be locked to prevent future hack attempts. Not sure if theymos has the information to independently verify this or not, or what threshold he has for these requests.

[nutildah]

I believe it. As somebody who was big on sticking to his guns, it's just not in his nature to suddenly abandon the forum. Let's be honest about it, he was a bit of a high blood pressure individual. Regardless, that's sad to hear, and I feel for his friends and family. RIP

[Vod]

With my last line to him, I'll break my own rule and write his name properly.

Goodbye Tecshare.   

[Quickseller]

TS was a longtime member of the forum and over the years, he had a falling out with several forum members, including the administration. I hope that he knew that (with one exception) the forum members he didn’t always see eye to eye to were not mad at him personally (but rather had policy disagreements).

TS was a very principled person and was willing to stand up for what he thought was right, even if not expedient.

I hope that anyone who doesn’t have anything nice to say will keep it to themselves.

RIP.  

[JeromeTash]

I never had any direct interaction with him but always got to read his views whenever I would check the Politics and Society board. He seemed someone principled and always stuck to what he believed in.

It's a very sad thing to lose one of those old era members. They are sort of an inspiration to us who joined in a few years ago. It also gives a picture that behind the profile and forum code, there is a human being there with some different life challenges. Every time they log in, it's a sign that they still have a breath of life.

May he Rest in Peace.

[examplens]

it’s always sad to hear things like this. although we do not know each other.
maybe I didn't quite agree with all his views, but certainly one of the older and more recognizable member here.
Goodbay.

[teeGUMES]

Meet again in another life TEC, rest easy

[Vispilio]

Very smart guy and one of the sincerest individuals to have ever passed through this forum, fare well TecShare

[LOVE999]

I really don't want to believe this sad thing. He is a very active and decent member. Our community misses him very much. He left us, but the high-quality coin (Infinitecoin) he was deeply involved in the development of is still in the world. Due to various reasons, he has tortured. Unfortunately, when he did not see its global popularity, I think he still cares about Infinitecoin in his heart. It also happened to be 6 months ago. It should be time for him to understand his own physical condition. He chose to transfer the official website of Infinitecoin to msy2008, a long-term active member of the forum. We have an Infinitecoin community here. Will always insist on development and promotion, make it popular around the world, pay tribute to TecShare.

[rhomelmabini]

I may not know TECSHARE personally and we may be of just acquaintance virtually in this forum but I just want to say "farewell" for him. May you rest in peace and condolences to the bereaved family.

[lijian2019]

TECSHARE is a friend of most of our teams. I can't believe it. He will miss it very much

[Igebotz]

Death Is Not The End Tec..

Rest On King.

[Mpamaegbu]

This is really sad, indeed even though we all know about the mortality of the Hunan nature and death as an unwelcome visitor. I came across Tecshare's posts a few times I went through Politics and Collectibles. He will surely be missed here.

BTW, this discovery has further heightened my apprehension that some of the inactive accounts of prominent members here (I don't want to mention names to avoid any controversies. But anyone who looks hard enough will find them) could be feared for the worse. Especially the way the COVID19 pandemic has left many deaths on its trail.

[gredinger]

Seems like a lot of thread space for what seems to be a known abuser.

I think the community has been better off since his parting as a whole.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Abuser of what?  He abused the trust system and got kicked off DT for that, but he wasn't a scammer by any means.  In fact, there's a long trail of evidence in his trust page attesting to the fact that he was honest in all his business dealings.  And yeah, he was an abrasive guy, but if everyone here agreed on everything it would be a fucking boring forum.

I think the community has been better off since his party as a whole.

I'm not even sure how to interpret this incoherent post, but I would say that even if the forum were better off without TECSHARE, I still mourn his passing.  I mean come on, he'd been a member of bitcointalk for a long time and did a lot of trading here, and he was certainly respected by a lot of members.  So fuck you and your pissing on his grave.

[gredinger]

You answered your own question; He abused the trust system and got kicked off DT for that -- an abuser.

y -> ing.
A typo did change the overall meaning.
I don't think we should celebrate assholes after they leave a community; especially if the individual has personally attacked you. He made plenty of claims about me in the past in the threads in Politics and Society; including dozens of moderator removed posts due to repetitive ad hominems and other personal attacks.

[icopress]

Yes, this is sad news ... first Hal, Zepher then Phinnaeus and Tecshare, I don't even want to imagine who might be next, since we are all human, everyone is vulnerable. And it is absolutely not important who and what views shared, since all these people were in one way or another part of the core of this community, all those who devoted tens or even hundreds of days to this forum. For this reason, this sad news prompted me to devote a couple of hours today to reading Tecshare's post history ... Rest in peace, Man. 🕯️

[The Sceptical Chymist]

He attacked me as well (in my feedback) and was a complete prick to me most of the time....but the man's dead now, and it's not as though he was evil incarnate--he was just a human being with flaws, as we all are.  If he'd just left the forum voluntarily, that would be one thing.  I might have said good riddance, but he didn't.  He died, and I would not have wished him to leave the forum that way.

All is forgiven from my end, TECSHARE.  No hard feelings wherever you are, and rest in peace my man.

first Hal, Zepher then Phinnaeus and Tecshare, I don't even want to imagine who might be next, since we are all human, everyone is vulnerable.

Yeah, it kind of makes me wonder about TMAN and probably some other members whose names I might recognize but can't recall at the moment, those who've been away from the forum for a long time.  There are certainly many other reasons why someone would stop posting on a discussion board besides death, but these days I just wonder. 

[gredinger]

No hard feelings wherever you are

There was an old proverb; something along the lines of "don't curse anyone that's already 6 feet under, no good will come of it".

I just don't think people should pretend to have liked him or been friends with him only after he parts. It seems disingenuous to his actual friends and people who knew him personally.

I think there are a few cases where individuals should be able to hold grudges against dead people (see Jeffery Epstein as a great example here); but I believe Techshare is less evil than Epstein.

[DireWolfM14]

He abused the trust system and got kicked off DT for that

He applied it the way he saw it working the best.  That may have been selfish of him, but it's no different than what any of us do.  Techshare made no secrets about his views, they're all out in the open.  He may have used it in a way that many of us disagreed with (obviously,) but the only thing he did that was even remotely abusive was retaliatory exclusions.  Seems rather low and the "Trust System Abuse" scale, don't you think?  And, are we really so petty that we're going to nitpick "abuse" by someone who isn't even here anymore?  Isn't the point moot now?

I don't think we should celebrate assholes after they leave a community

That's uncalled for.  If you have something critical to say in this thread, at least have the courtesy and respect to articulate it without hurling vulgarities.

[Hhampuz]

RIP. No bullshit, hope you are in a better place.

GTFO

[JollyGood]

It is sad to read another member of the community has passed away. A very sad day....

Today really has been a double tragedy firstly because the sad news about TECSHARE passing away and secondly because certain comments and conducts from members in this thread have highlighted just how low some people can fall even in times of learning about the death of a human being and fellow contributor to this forum.

I literally am feeling nauseous both by hearing the sad news TECSHARE passed away and also by reading certain comments posted here.

Hello, With a very heavy heart I come to you with some saddening news about my friend TecShare (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=15728).

I have been searching for him for a while since his disappearance, and we found out that he passed away 6 months ago due to what was suspected to be an aneurysm/severe stroke.

I'm sure many of you may be wondering where he was, as he was very active here in the bitcoin community, so I hope this news gives closure to anyone here who where close to him.

My adventure with Tec started with IFC (Infinite Coin), and it has been an adventure to our last conversation in July of 2020. He was always full of fun and interesting ideas, and I really appreciated him as a friend.

He was also a very private person, so I'll keep a lot of details brief. I know he will surely be missed by a lot of people here, and I will surely miss Tec, and will treasure the impact he's had on this community and our friendship.

Your just a newb.. Ofcourse you wouldn’t understand..

We have spent years and years here together and most of us respect our great adversaries..

Lauda recently left the forum, not even by death, was a much worse system “abuser”, and was probably just as if not more demeaning to others as TS..
We had great battles, but I still showed my respect at their leaving..

In no way was TS evil nor was he insane by any means..
No matter our differences, we are all crypto supporters, and he was an OG crypto supporter and user..
He probably made more crypto trades in his short time than you will if you live to be 100..


Understand that noob..
Say one more bad thing about TS in this thread and your profile will be wearing a link to it for all of eternity..

[Vod]

Understand that noob..

It's healthy for people to want to talk about it, and some people probably didn't like him.  But if you just want to bitch without reason, I agree to do it in another thread.

I'm interested in learning more about his incident, since I was the last person to talk with him here, and I know stress kills.  (Some people hope for that!)  I doubt my insignificance mattered much to him, but I find myself wondering if maybe he had just lost someone due to covid-19 and his body just said "that's enough for me".   Our brains cannot adjust for the amount of stress everyone is facing at the same time. 

Best thing we can do to preserve his memory Eddie, is to not feed the flames; ignore these idiots.      And maybe let's push OG/Theymos to spend a little of the donated millions on stress reduction initiatives?   

[Quickseller]

This really is too bad. If you don't have anything nice to say about a dead person, you shouldn't say anything at all. A dead person is unable to defend themselves.

We have no reason to believe it was sars-cov-2 related, TEC already had a history of high bp and around 3 years back he had a stroke.
So more likely than not it is linked to that.
We can't fully discard it too, but knowing him and the extent of care he took with such things I highly doubt he ever got infected. Let's just say I would be very surprised if it was the case, but we certainly can't discard it.

Understand that noob..
Say one more bad thing about TS in this thread and your profile will be wearing a link to it for all of eternity..

It's healthy for people to want to talk about it, and some people probably didn't like him.  But if you just want to bitch without reason, I agree to do it in another thread.

I think Vod was saying that TS had lost a loved one to Covid, and had died from the stress related to losing his loved one.

My bad, as you can imagine seeing some messages here about someone I held so dear is kind of messing up with my head...
TEC was extremely headstrong and had very defined guidelines of what he considered right and wrong, sometimes to a fault; but even with all his faults he was a wonderful human being at heart, wanted to help his friends and for the world to be a better, truer place to everyone. So much so he helped create many tools for that, stuff most people can't even imagine.
For the people who didn't meet him, in 2015 I moved to Norway, trying for a better life and to get my mother a better health treatment, he loaned me money at zero interest with a 'pay me when you can clause' attached to it, because he knew I wanted something better for myself and for my family. This was who TEC was, this is who we lost.

Seeing people who do not even know what they are talking about, or who he even was is just soiling his name for the sake of saying something bad about someone who can't even defend himself anymore, and that is sad to a point that I can't even explain properly.

The world is a worst place without him.

[Vod]

I think Vod was saying that TS had lost a loved one to Covid, and had died from the stress related to losing his loved one.

Yes, or any little thing like that.   Your brain reacts to stress unconsciously by raising blood pressure.  He might have just opened a photo radar ticket for all we know.

For a while there, when Tecshare, you and OG were harassing me in shifts with all the alts, I felt one more thing would have killed me.  I think Suchmoon literally saved my life with a PM "I am worried about you". 

My point is, all the name calling and lies everyone made up to scam has got to stop now. The people who lost the coin you stole are getting desperate, and your words are going to kill more than than starvation/unemployment/climate change will.   

This forum is on notice - administrator involvement has eliminated safe harbor protection.  I was unaware TEC had a stroke three years earlier - my past actions now give me a further push for stress awareness.   

[Timelord2067]

My condolences to TECSHARE's family.

Sorry TECSHARE, I was unable to Thank You for all you have done.

It is an unexplainable pain for the rest of my life you have left me with.

I have no words for now other than, rest is lots of peace TECSHARE. You were an legend !



Edit : @Theymos thank you for the costume title and for honoring someone worth all of it.

[Vod]

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=15728

From the comfort of my chair, I challenge the BPIP team to create an "in memorandum" flag, which can show the peak of a profile's achievements.  Obviously the activity ranking will fall and remembering how recognized a profile was and how trusted they were at their best should be important for posterity. 

[OgNasty]

TECSHARE was a good user who was not afraid to stand up for the truth.  Weird seeing so many of the abusers he stood up to now offering their condolences here.  If this news is true, all we can do is try to grow as a community and appreciate these people while they're here.  TECSHARE devoted a ton of time and effort into pointing out abusers who had climbed the ranks into positions in DT and faced a tremendous amount of abuse for doing so.  If you really want to honor TECSHARE, maybe take a look at the behavior he pointed out as being harmful to the forum, realize your role in this behavior, and do better. 

Also good to remember that there are those who will harass you while you're alive, then try to capitalize on your death to promote their projects. 


Here's feedback that TECSHARE left to Vod who now suddenly wants to memorialize his account.  I am certain TECSHARE would approve of this post and urge people to keep these two-faced abusers out of the DT network if he were able.

If you really want to memorialize TECSHARE, add him to your trust network by adding TECSHARE to your trust settings and don't let his fight die with him.  He should be a DT member.

[icopress]

It doesn't matter if TecShare was a good guy or not, you should take into account that most of those present here have their own opinion about whose feedback and judgments are worth trusting (regardless of the circumstances). As for "memorialize", why don't you start with yourself? Why don't you add Zepher to your trust list then? (I just want to say that talking about DT in this thread is a manifestation of disrespect for TecShare as a person).

[Laudanum]

No hard feelings wherever you are

There was an old proverb; something along the lines of "don't curse anyone that's already 6 feet under, no good will come of it".

I just don't think people should pretend to have liked him or been friends with him only after he parts. It seems disingenuous to his actual friends and people who knew him personally.

I think there are a few cases where individuals should be able to hold grudges against dead people (see Jeffery Epstein as a great example here); but I believe Techshare is less evil than Epstein.

Who gives a fuck what you think? Noob trash.
Epstein?  Take that needle out of your scrawny arm.
TS was one of the only standup guys here. I mean one of a handful on the entire forum.
His parting is up there and probably equal to bruno for different reasons.
Actually I would say that TS was willing to tackle anyone regardless of comeback.
To see his account defamed red is just an example of the total shit hole joke bct has become.
If he was a prick to anyone then they entirely deserved it.

I hope this isn't true but something happened to him anyway.
Big loss to the forum.


Weird? Direwolf thought he was 50?
I had spoken with him a few times I thought he was a few years older than myself maybe 30 at most.  

Theymos took tecshare seriously actually.  I think TS should have run this place. Would be 100x better.

Transparent objective standards.  

Icopress - what are you slobbering about. Nothing wrong with adding TS to trust lists.
Zepher? You cant compare members most have not heard of to legends that have been here forever and known to most members of any kind of standing.
Sure I have no clue if that persons trust list or ratings would be useful but TS ratings clearly are.
This thread is about TS you're being disrespectful bringing other members into it.
Be quiet noob. Let the elders talk.

[Vod]

I am certain TECSHARE would approve of this post and urge people to keep these two-faced abusers out of the DT network if he were able.

A decade of his contributions hijacked just like that.  TECSHARE's entire fight against Theymos and corruption, and his individual beliefs and morals dismissed by a vocal, greedy fraud.

If anyone even cares if/when I pass in 2046, please don't post the news on this forum. 

Be quiet noob. Let the elders talk.

They are, hiding behind alt accounts.

[Lordhermes]

I didn't really meet TECSHARE on the forum during his activeness days, but looking at his profile speaks good about him, haters might be talking about his change and how he does his own thing, despite all, rest on TECSHARE.

In my African culture, death is not the end but the transformation of energy. Farewell Buddy.

This is a sad news and everyone has to leave this world one day.

In the muslim world also, the death is not the end but a beginning of the never ending life.

[Knights Templar]

TecShare, a respectable wise man, a wise man with a benevolent heart, since 2013, as the leader of the global Infinitecoin community, a great practitioner of the fastest cryptocurrency (Infinitecoin) application in the world! A true warrior! This is sad news. Hope this is not true.

[TwitchySeal]

What a weird feeling I am experiencing reading this thread.  Sadness for someone I've never met or planned on meeting irl and spent countless hours arguing with anonymously on the internet.

Can't say I'm that surprised, would've been shocked if his disappearance was his own decision.

RIP Tecshare.  I never hated you.  Told you Trump could lose.

[theymos]

I don't have any special way of verifying this, but if true it's very sad. Tecshare and I had some disagreements, but he was definitely a good person, and we were able to have a constructive relationship despite our disagreements. His feedback influenced a lot of the adjustments to the trust system over the years, for example.

One fairly-recent thing which is maybe not widely-known was that in order to help Elwar escape Thailand, TECSHARE was posting false information about Elwar's activities in order to hopefully lead Thai officials on the wrong track. He did what he could to help someone in need!

Rest in peace.

[NotATether]

RIP Tecshare. You are loved. I'm beginning to learn the hard way what it feels like when losing people although I did not agree with his trust feedback at times, but that thing doesn't matter.

[DireWolfM14]

Many folks here have had political disagreements with Tecshare, and once again I would urge people to be respectful.  This has turned into a eulogy thread, and in my opinion it's not place for "I told you so."  Your thoughts have already been cataloged in countless threads about those subjects.

Tecshare has some unfinished business here, and I'd like to help settle his affairs.  As much as I can, without being disrespectful of his privacy I will try to keep things transparent.  If all goes according to plan one of more of his family members will likely be made aware of this forum, and possibly find this thread.  So please keep in mind that you're not only setting the tone for your own account but the community as a whole.  I would like to believe that we're better than that.  This a perfect time to start practicing a little bit of unity.

[icopress]

I'm not sure if Theymos will read this message, but since we're talking about unity, I think it makes sense to give a Custom Title "In memoriam" not only to TS but also to Zepher, Hal and Phinnaeus Gage, (let's see what happens with this idea).

I only owe TS like $100 tops without taking any cut.. And that was completely on my honor of whatever I say I could get/got for that batch..
I’d be happy to pay him, but I’m not super keen on paying out to some random trying to claim it because “they say so”..

If you DWM14 want to “help settle his affairs” somehow, while hiding the recipient, then YOU can escrow it for me and forever yourself be liable for any future claims thereof.. Incase you pay it out to the wrong random, then have to pay it again, and again.. Not my problem..

Maybe I’m not sure about that either..
Why are YOU trying to be the one to step up here seeing as you had TS on your exclusions up until the last scrape??

If anything, maybe I should just send it to the forum, if consensus suggests..
Idk..

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’m really sad to see this, he used to message me moaning about who was in my trust list. He’d add me to his trust list one month, then exclude me the month after. I have nothing negative to say about him at all though. He was very active & I thought about him not long back actually.

I’d like to wish his family & RL friends all the best & RIP TECSHARE, you will be missed. You were a stubborn, moaning git but a good person. Rest in peace!

[LTU_btc]

I was wondering where he is gone and it's very sad to read that he passed away. He had completely different political views than I, but it doesn't matters at all. From what I read in this thread, he was good person, despite that his image on this forum was different. He contributed to forum a lot and he will be really missed.
RIP, TECSHARE

[Timelord2067]

Which would you prefer @eddie13?  Send @DireWolfM14 the funds to on-send, or, send to a third party?  Perhaps a two of two?/three? wallet address so that multiple repayments can be gathered into one pot and paid out at a later date?

[DireWolfM14]

~

That's not how I see it working, and no I don't want to escrow anything.  I don't know if I'll get a response from anyone, and if I do I will make every effort to confirm that the person who does respond is actually someone with the authority to handle Tec's funds.  I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that I will never get a response.

I don't care to go into details about why I had excluded Tecshare, there's actually a bunch of discussions about it if anyone wants to research it.  But, suffice it to say it wasn't because I don't (or didn't) like him.  I was contacted by another member of the forum who also had a deal in the works with Techshare, so I volunteered to try to get into contact with his family.  And really, why not me?  Would someone else step up if I didn't?  I just want to help.

If you don't feel comfortable sending the funds to some random person who claims to be a relative of Tecshare, then I suggest donating the funds to the forum or some charity that Tec would have approved of.  Or keep the funds, I'm not trying to shake anyone down.

[Elwar]

I certainly did not know TecShare or interact too much on the forum but he is an old school member here since May 2011 so he has been part of this community for a long time. The timing of his entry along with his posts about the Federal Reserve would lead me to believe he was also part of the Ron Paul community.

From his posts he came on here seeing the opportunity for business and he dedicated much time toward that as well as to his reputation as a trader in many different things, contributing to the early bitcoin economy in his own way.

He was certainly open about his politics and stuck to his guns, certainly in a passionate way. I know he was in a few threads I participated in the Politics and Society forum and we were usually on similar sides of the argument, though our approaches were certainly a bit different. It appeared that his politics were a bit more welcome in the earlier days than more recent years.

From one og to another, RIP TecShare.

[sirazimuth]

Though I never liked him and rarely interacted with him, I missed his almost daily "colorful" posts when he suddenly went awol.
I suspect he had mental health/anger issues, judging from the tone of a lot of his posts.
Indeed, I had a hunch something bad happened but, hoped it didn’t.
Regardless, I would never wish ill will on a deceased fellow legend.  I hope he went peacefully with no pain and my condolences to friends and family.
So long Techy, you certainly left your mark here.    RIP

I think this just highlights how much people are divided politically, not just here but in the world and both sides will hate each other based on nothing but a slight difference in beliefs. So much animosity and people are still carrying it even though he's gone. The right vs left and the arrogance on both far sides is going to do some real damage in the future.

I'm not sure if Theymos will read this message, but since we're talking about unity, I think it makes sense to give a Custom Title "In memoriam" not only to TS but also to Zepher, Hal and Phinnaeus Gage, (let's see what happens with this idea).

If I recall correctly Phinnaeus Gage was given a special title of some sort, but then his account magically re-appeared so it was removed, but this highlights the issue of doing things like this. It's going to be very hard to verify that people have passed away, especially when most people here are anonymous or like to keep their personal info to themselves as much as they can. It could be abused in the future as well if all it takes is a person or two to 'confirm' that someone had died but I don't think it should be done unless there's some verifiable proof, but I think it's best to just let accounts be in most cases.

[AB de Royse777]

RIP TECSHARE. I was browsing the reputation board after a long day and was not ready to spot this topic. First I had to disbelieve but after reading few replies it was obvious that TECSHARE is no more.

My condolence to the family and close friends. It's such an affair that you disappear and never get the time to say goodbye. I hope no one in the forum will keep the hurt feeling against him and forgive his departed soul. Zepher, Phinnaeus Gage and now TECSHARE are few names in the recent time who will live in the memory.

Thanks OP (MudDev) for posting the topic, and thanks theymos for the custom title, I hope the account is locked.

I checked other accounts, and you're right Theymos really gave a custom title to Gleb Gamow's account (and it seems to me that the custom title did not disappear anywhere, it was just assigned to only one of his three accounts). Well, I'm not talking about the majority, I meant only those persons whose death is known for certain, those who are part of the history of the forum, (and at the same time block such an account).

Phinnaeus Gage

2019-05-16

Gleb is a good guy. I should know cause we're the same person.

[dkbit98]

If something doesn't exist it doesn't matter how much effort I exert, I will never find it.

Please quote your explanation since you assert it is totally real and you already did it.

Maybe we all can learn something from TECSHARE's passing away with his last words in bitcointalk forum spent arguing with Vod.
I understand that we can't always agree with everyone, but do we really need to spend so much energy and time proving our point and making other people wrong?

I did not always agree with his point of view but I respect him as one of the OG and big part of bitcointalk history.

R.I.P. TECSHARE

[suchmoon]

RIP TECSHARE, a formidable opponent in any debate. Ever since he abruptly disappeared last August I was fearing the worst but hoping he's just taking a break. Sad to see this now. Condolences to his family and friends.

[PrimeNumber7]

I'm not sure if Theymos will read this message, but since we're talking about unity, I think it makes sense to give a Custom Title "In memoriam" not only to TS but also to Zepher, Hal and Phinnaeus Gage, (let's see what happens with this idea).

It looks like theymos (or another admin) has added a custom title to TS.

I would say this is appropriate based on how much time TS spent here, and how engaged he was with the community over the many years he was here.

[ibminer]

--snip--
TEC was extremely headstrong and had very defined guidelines of what he considered right and wrong
--snip--

I'd agree with this. I had not had a huge amount of interaction with TECSHARE over the years, but he was definitely headstrong in his beliefs.

I hope no offense is taken here, but it is still hard for me to accept this thread as complete fact.. I don't even think TECSHARE would have accepted it as fact himself without a clearer verification. I just think it's how a lot of people here think, so I don't think it should be taken offensively. I'll also refrain from going into any personal grievances I had with TECSHARE here, sadly it seems there is not a point in doing that now.. and it just wouldn't be fair.

So, I'm going to continue under the assumption that this news is probably true. That said, it really sucks losing a human being unexpectedly... especially one who appears to have had a lot of life in him left.
RIP TECSHARE. My condolences to his loved ones, I know what it feels like.. and I wish you all the best.

From the comfort of my chair, I challenge the BPIP team to create an "in memorandum" flag, which can show the peak of a profile's achievements.  Obviously the activity ranking will fall and remembering how recognized a profile was and how trusted they were at their best should be important for posterity.  

A little off-topic but I kinda hoped the BPIP cards would be able to commemorate this sort of thing... to create a snapshot in time.

I went ahead and generated several last week for TECSHARE, one with each current design.. also did a set for Bruno since they were not really ready when all that happened. Things may still fluctuate with the development of the card generator. So, while the images would theoretically verify correctly today if everything were live, I'm not sure if the official card generator/verification will stay the same as I've generated it today or not.. I'll try to keep these verifiable. But, outside of the typical archiving of the profile page, I've at least got these as well, for now. Can't say it represents the "peak", but as close as I can get at the moment.

One fairly-recent thing

I apparently missed all this.

Rest in peace.

I remember someone telling me that TECHSHARE let everyone know that I was in Vietnam. I was a bit confused at the time but was happy for people to think that as at the time I was on a boat to Singapore so misdirection was certainly welcomed.

Unfortunately I did not get the chance to thank him but I certainly did appreciate it. He definitely had my back.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

No!!! I was not ready for this!
Farewell brother.
You lived for bitcoin and let us continue with this legacy. See you in the other side. 
Please be in peace and forgive me �


Edit:
TECHSHARE dreamed a lot about bitcoin being at $100k but he never had this chance even to see bitcoin crossed $50k.



This is heartbreaking.
R.I.P brother. We are in the half way and soon will be a very desired milestone. You are seeing it, right?

May I request moderators as well to look at TECSHARE thread here: Dr. Magorium's Mystery Box Emporium and lock so that it won't be spam as respect to the man.

[MoparMiningLLC]

I did not know him as well as many others here but I did have some dealings and communication with him both crypto and non-crypto related - very sad to see anyone pass from this life before having had the chance to live a long and fruitful life.

Godspeed Tecshare.

[TalkStar]

RIP...TECSHARE. Its true that you will not get back to this forum again but your footprints will be remain here. As i always say that bitcointalk is like a family to us and we lost another member from our family. No doubt that forum member will miss you and your activity.

Thank you MudDev for feeling it necessary to share the information with us.  

[cabalism13]

I was here on the Internet the whole time but still missed this Info, I was indeed late as I already put this section on Ignore for a while, I once disagreed with the ideas of Tecshare, but you did great for the forum especially on trades.

Farewell Tecshare.

[Vod]

This is my fav post of all time by TECSHARE. 

[Lachrymose]

TECSHARE was a really smart guy and I was following and reading his posts frequently.

I’m very sad, rest in peace...

[jamyr]

TECSHARE, Thank you for being nice to me, I hope you rest in peace. Farewell

[amishmanish]

This is sad and humbling. Stress awareness is important and people really should see that the forum remains a spot for trading and other bitcoin related activity but not for extreme personal fights and grudges.

It is kindda ironic that I came to this thread from another one of the incessantly negative sequence of arguments and rebuttals which actually ended up arguing about TecShare's passing.

I wanted to buy one of TEC's mystery boxes but it never materialized. I am sure they were all well curated and interesting. He was interested in gaming, comics and the whole contemporary culture while arguing passionately about the politics. Now I feel that we would indeed have gotten along much better in real life. Just like a lot of people here.

[Spazzer]

Damn. I always seem to come back lurking during sad times. Another one leaves us too soon.

RIP

[Timelord2067]

TECSHARE's well publicized wallet address 1Hz3HZT4v8qxtyYiRQ66UHTUSK3dKCnVMW currently has a balance of 0.01120000 BTC / 640.11 USD in it which has not been touched since 2020-01-10 00:37 which their family seems unaware they were in possession of.

It'd be interesting to see what kind of price rise those funds will attain into the future should they remain untouched.

[Quickseller]

TECSHARE's well publicized wallet address 1Hz3HZT4v8qxtyYiRQ66UHTUSK3dKCnVMW currently has a balance of 0.01120000 BTC / 640.11 USD in it which has not been touched since 2020-01-10 00:37 which their family seems unaware they were in possession of.

It'd be interesting to see what kind of price rise those funds will attain into the future should they remain untouched.

It appears that TS was fairly young, so he may not have had plans in place to transfer minimal amounts of bitcoin to his next of kin. I am also not sure what his family situation is.

[jamyr]

1 year ago, TECSHARE gave me a feedback on my account for an information I thought would be helpful for one of his sales: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236934.0

Thank you TECSHARE!

[yeosaga]

I am very sad to read/hear this news. Even though we did not know each other personally, I have learned a lot from TECSHARE over the years. My heart goes out to their family. Rest in peace to a great mind and bold attitude. TECSHARE's memory and influence will live on with many of us.

[Fiatless]

I have gone through many comments about the late member TECSHARE and I am impressed by the kind of life he lived. Some people noted that they didn't agree with him on some issues but he was nice. He respected other people's views in the course of disagreement. From what I have read he was an active businessman and nobody came up with any accusation of fraud or cheating. He trusted people and he was dependable. This is how I want to be remembered when I leave this world because a good name is better than silver and good. My condolences to his family and friends.

OP don't be offended by the skepticism you experience when you broke the news. The world is now filled with evil that even good is assumed to be evil because of the fear of consequences of believing evil.

RIP TECSHARE, I just see this post, I wasn't really active I think in 2021 so I didn't notice this post. I was wondering why he's not active anymore.

If it's true, Sad news, We did a lot of transactions on Steams buying games, he's a great guy, and he makes a lot of friends here on the forum. Farewell friend.

TECSHARE is a forum member who has a good reputation, logically he will say goodbye to all members of the community if he wants to leave the forum forever like what Lauda did in this Thread Goodbye, world!. I'm assuming his departure was sudden so he didn't have time to make a final message on the forum.

An incident like this had happened before to a user from Indonesia pandukelana2712, fortunately a relative of his contacted a trusted member of the forum to repay a loan to DarkStar_ Goodbye Pandukelana2712 - Thanks for your contribution..
Information from eddy13 in the post above confirms the fact that TECSHARE really has left this world forever.

He respected other people's views in the course of disagreement.

Um, I hate to break it to you or to speak ill of the dead but that just isn't true--at least it wasn't true for the serious disagreement TECSHARE and I had.  He was as hard-headed as they come, and I'm going to stop right there.

I'm curious as to why this thread got bumped by yeosaga and I'm concerned that it's going to start being active again when there's really no need for it to be.  There can't be that many members who just came back from a long break and discovered that TECSHARE died, so all the members after yeosaga saying "RIP" make me think they're posting just to post, if you know what I mean.

Yep, that fact has been established for a long time now.

Well I don't joke with death news and mkat times I don't think death stories are lies and I just want to say rest in peace to the departed and I pray you rest well in the kings court.

Op I'm sorry people had to doubt your post and some also thinking  your post were barely for merit sake but I think judging from your profile  which is just of few post and suddenly  you appear to announce the demise of a reputable member is very wrong and it wouldn't be bad if you can show some proves of your personal relationship with him.

And there's always someone who hit the nail to the wood, which is me! They're all posting for post counts because there's nothing relevant anyone would say on a farewell thread after over two years. If it was a remembrance post, it might make sense, but what yeosaga posted is far from it, and on second thought, he's not wearing a signature.

The story is dead and gone..... DEATH is what separates happiness from sadness, be happy it happened.

I've had Tecshare added for years on steam, Originally dating back to 2011 when he was advertising in a TF2 trading server about selling items for bitcoin, and that was the introduction to me personally learning about bitcoin and litecoin and how it was obtained and traded and all those fun things, and had consistently talked to him at least once a week in steam chat about random things (it was usually more often than that), generally pertaining to business, and I've been confused for these last few years why he went offline and hasn't came back online, I figured from screenshots of his main wallets that he sent to me a long time ago he probably just full retired and left the internet, but this is utterly heartbreaking to finally come to terms and see what actually happened. I appreciate this being posted and finally giving me some resolution to my questions of where he might have disappeared to and if he would ever pop online to say hi and chat again. it was really heart warming though to see that he was as good of a person to others in this forum and offering opportunities as he has done for me. He offered me to make his website that showed the games he was selling on steam to help me learn some web development on a domain called nexli and I still look back on those days. He also got me my first mining contracts for equipment, Kind of wish I had some of those ASIC USB Erupters still as a memory piece. I miss our conversations RIP Tecshare. <3

From what I have read he was an active businessman and nobody came up with any accusation of fraud or cheating.

Yet Theymos found it "neutral" enough to ban him from all DT activities against his will.  :/

[ineedhelpplease]

Every once in a while I see this guys profile and I thought he just randomly quit. RIP

Kinda scary to know how bitcointalk has existed for so long that there are people here who have died or been arrested, or other endless possibilities.

That's the first time I hear about this. Isn't he off DT2 because he has 3 inclusions and 9 exclusions from DT1?

No, TecShare was the first person Theymos banned from DT1.    Hence his tagline ""First Exclusion Ever".

[Saint-loup]

It would have been more smooth and easy to believe if it had been someone other than a newbie account who announced such a sad news but anyway nobody is immortal here, so I wish him to rest in peace and to be able to laugh with Satoshi wherever he is in the sky or in the crypto paradise. I send my condolences to his friends and family.

That was just a bit before my time if I recall correctly, but Theymos's action wasn't because of TECSHARE cheating anyone but because he was abusing the trust system--but correct me if I'm wrong.  Despite the fact that we couldn't stand each other, I never thought of him as dishonest, just a hothead who couldn't let a disagreement go.

Yep, and I'm sure for every member like TECSHARE that we know who died, there are a dozen or more who've left because of death or some other fate (like arrest in your example) that none of us ever hear about.  But that's what you get with a forum of this size.

And why in the world did this thread get bumped, exactly?  I mean, I see the post that bumped it but it seems to me it didn't need to get resurrected.
