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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
