TecShare - Farewell my friend.

[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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Goodbye Tecshare.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
