TecShare - Farewell my friend.

[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.

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.

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.

[Elwar]

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.

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?

The BPIP cards are exactly what I was thinking of doing! Please make this generator public when you can 

[Jating]

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

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.

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.
