Then what will happen to your account?

[Daniel91]

Is the account on this forum something that has monetary value, so the wife or children should inherit it in the legal process of inheritance?
My understanding is that an account on this forum represents one person, not a family, and it should stay that way.
I see no purpose or sense in my children or wife continuing to use my forum account after my death.
If they are interested in this forum, each of them can easily open their own account and write their own thoughts without pretending to be someone else.
What should be the subject of inheritance are our crypto assets and not our accounts on crypto forums.

One of the stupid questions. Why do you care, OP? Do you only live on the forum? Don't you have another life? The forum is just a small part of our lives, but some people are very worried about it, and according to the observations of those who have recently created their profiles,

How do you suppose the forum can find out about the death of someone? Should we force our loved ones to report it? Will they get easier?

OP, every religion has a "you shall not make for yourself an idol" rule. Let you worry more about what you leave behind for the children and family, but this should not be a forum profile.

There were people who left the forum, and there are quite a few of them, and despite this, the forum remembers their names. This is, if you think you can be consoled, the best mark on the forum. Regardless of your attitude towards a user who is no more, some still remain with us.

I will ask  a question to this community member's. Maybe it's looks werid  but suddenly this question arises in my mind. And the question is:
"what will happen to your account when you passed away ?"

• Will you pass it on to your children? (Is it legal in this forum ?)
• Or will everything end there?
• Then  Can't we see the good deeds from these big reputed people's account?

Why should we care about our account and pass it on to our children or other people when we die, do you think that bitcointalk account is an asset that has value?. Maybe when we haven't died we are no longer active in this forum or maybe this forum doesn't exist anymore.
Maybe because you see a lot of earning in this forum and the value is quite high for your size because you live in a low income country but the members of this forum from so many countries even from high income countries can earn $100/day or so this forum is not a place like the real world where you can earn always.

[ImThour]

I would say just let it be the way it is? If someone passes away, they don't prefer someone to use their social media accounts right? That's what I would compare this forum with.

It's a forum where you can post your ideas. Maybe the one who died had different views and perspective from you, so I am sure you will not be able to walk on his road.

[Bhig Daddy]

It kind of a weird question, but when you pass on the account just become idle, I don't even think anyone will know about the account. So automatically the account dies too or just maybe someone hack into it. Besides it just an account not something you will WILL to someone.

<…>

Except for on rare occasions, people do not get to know for sure when someone passed away out of those with an account on the forum. As far as I’m concerned, I’m of the opinion that every account should be personal (*), and that there is no point in considering passing on the account to other members of the family – there certainly won’t be a procedure to do so from the perspective of the Forum (imagine needing to forward and deal with death certificates and so forth).

An account is not a milking active to pass over to other generations, and even if people did do so by passing on the credentials in some pre-planned manner, it’s pretty likely that someone will spot a complete change in posting style that may lead to some awkward situations at some point. Of course there is no impediment for someone to plan ahead and come accross their own account’s inheritance plan, but it doesn’t seem like something that would come as very top of mind thing when planning ahead for these events. In any case, I’d equate it pretty much to a bought account.

(*) There may be some exceptions, namely real business fronted by a given account which could merit a consideration, but likely all falling on the shoulders of the implied, with cero Forum implication.

this question has been treated in so many way in this community of bitcointalk and it has been universal since. Because if a community user of bitcointalk passed away. And is been know and reported to the community, another person can not make use of the account. And secondly account of a user if it passed on can be used except it's a situation whereby people or the beloved ones knows about cryptocurrency.

Just as one cannot transfer his educational qualification or certificate to his heir because they are products of acquired knowledge and skills, that's how forum accounts should be perceived. An undergraduate that claims to be a PhD holder because his father willed the certificate to him would be a menace to the academic space. Just as skill and knowledge die with the carriers, certificates, qualifications, forum rank or account must also become obsolete after the demise of the acquirers. Except in exceptional cases, I don't thing anyone is replaceable in this forum. This is because everyone has their own thought patterns, writing style, ideology, belief, etc. If I know when I would walk the path of death, it would be proper to do a farewell post and inform the management of this great community to close my account.

"what will happen to your account when you passed away ?"

- This will not happen if someone dies suddenly before he or she had to bequeath or tell about this account to someone to pass it on.
- If someone knows who you are in the member and who you are in the real world, he may tell that you are dead.
- If nobody knows who you are in this forum and who you are in the real world, and you have told someone else that if something happens to you, he or she just can continue using the account as long as he or she is able to do at least yours or better

"what will happen to your account when you passed away ?"

It will not go that far, the decision to leave the forum can be made at any time and an account should only be personal with all its uniqueness (writing style, knowledge, personality, etc.).
Unfortunately I have no plans to pass this account on to anyone including my son. So the rest depends on how long this forum will last with a consistent policy on accounts eg not deleting "expired" accounts, then my posts will still be visible.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Or will everything end there?

Yes as far as bitcointalk forum concern it will end there. The different account here is unique and youll find it conflicting to pass it down to your relatives. Its not an asset but just an account which is free and can be created by anyone. Its not an investment or business that can pass down. Take for it as a facebook account. If an owner of that account died, of course the account cant be used by his/her children since its personal. Think of it somehow just like that.

[Mpamaegbu]

Because if a community user of bitcointalk passed away. And is been know and reported to the community, another person can not make use of the account.

But of course, it's not all members' deaths that are reported here. The demise of Becky666 from our local was reported here because someone who knew him was a forum member. There are cases where accounts have become dormant for years and we can only suspect the inevitable could've happened to those users who probably maintained their privacy and never related with anyone outside this forum.

OP, you asked that question because you've it at the back of your mind the earnings users get here and you think that reward and earnings should be mellifluously passed on to another. That's a wrong mindset. Everyone should learn to fish by themselves. Treat this forum like you would treat any other social media site and you will see how faulty your question is.

[Accardo]

Passing down an account is not proper, though living an account dormant has no effect to the forum but giving an account to a child who is a member of the forum (has an account) to manage while you are away is better. Living the account dormant, serves as a memory to other fresh members on the forum. And, seeing that the account is active but, is handled by someone else doesn't help. So if its in your interest to introduce your kids to the forum just like any other forums please do and they may become legendary members even before you are gone. This is a forum not a business, of-course the owner of the forum can pass down ownership to his kids, that sounds OK.

A forum account is just a forum account. If someone dies....I think the last problem of his loved ones is how to handle or retrieve his forum accounts...
Personally I think would be easier and better to open a new account but ...yeah...it's just my opinion.

[Husires]

In our society, all the intangible things of the dead are considered valuable and therefore no one uses them. All of his accounts in the social media are closed, and the access to which he succeeds is written lamentations.
Communication in the forum expresses personal opinions and therefore change of ownership means that all trust in the account is useless.

An account should belong to the rightful owner, I don't think it makes any sense to pass your account to anyone, not that it is a policy but for some reasons such as:
- Reputation: You have built a solid foundation and are well known for the thing you are capable of doing and the things that you cannot, you know your space and limit, you may also be the type that doesn't associate, who doesn't form a clique or any form of friends but as soon as you give out your account to another person, all of these changes.

- The manner of representation: If you are a technical guy, to good about bitcoin underhood and then one day your account changes hand, you may likely get tagged by DT members as people wouldn't want to deal with you, your account may even be a suspected of been bought/sold.

In fact, selling an account on Bitcointalk is prohibited, if your account is found changing hands, just know that it will be damaged by the DT crew.

It will basically go to your trusted person when you die. This is why I compiled notes of accounts I have that I know can help my love ones whenever I passed away. This includes instructions, wallets, forum account, account on exchanges, google drive, bank details and other things that can help them. I don't worry on strangers finding that compilation of notes because it's divided on smaller parts so it can be like a "treasure hunt" for strangers but it would be easy for my love ones since they know me and knows what kind of a person am I. One of the things I wrote on that notes is whenever I died, I want them to make a thread for me here so I can say thank you and goodbye. I don't really care if my love ones reuse this account, The thing I'm concerned more is the goodbye message I requested.

[KingsDen]

It all depends on how you see the forum;
What you feel the forum is and what you think  the forum will become in the future.

To someone who thinks here is a kind of big company, the question in Op is very much important to the person.

But to anyone who understands that here is a discussion forum and nothing else will consider your question irrelevant.

On this premise, can you also ask.
When I die what happens to my Facebook account?
What happens to my twitter account?
What happens to my Instagram account etc?

[m2017]

After creating Crypto Library's topic, some people on this forum will think about including their account here in the will to the children.

I assume that some will leave access to the account to children or close relatives, in case they are passed away. This can be especially true in poor countries, since thanks to signature campaigns there is an opportunity to receive additional income. It is unlikely that anyone wants to deprive their loved ones of this. While the idea of ​​transferring an account to others seems wrong to me personally, it will be difficult for forum members to catch the fact of a user change. I am inclined to ensure that the account remains inactive after passed away, and the posts made by him are saved as an archive, having "historical" value and allowing you to get useful information if they contain it.

[darkangel11]

Usually people don't leave their accounts to family members or friends. Imagine if you knew someone for years and then you saw the account spreading opinions your friend did not support, because his wife or daughter are now using the account. When someone dies the account should die with him. If someone wants to be associated with that person it's easy to make a new account. In the past people were given special titles. I'm sure a relative to a long time member who passed on would be given some credit on this forum.
