Without giving away too much personal info, I have a chronic disease. I've had this disease for a decade and have had a lot of treatment for it, but it is winning. I likely only have a few months left. And so, I bid you all farewell. I'll be spending as much of my remaining time as possible with my family. In a week or two, once this thread has run its course, I'll ask theymos to lock this account.
I have learnt a lot from many of you, and I hope many of you have learnt something from me. Although we will never meet, I would have loved to share a beer with many of you, and I hope you'll remember me fondly.

I'm at a loss for words; I don't know what to say because the news is so unbelievable and shocking. This is truly unimaginable and sad.
Being new, I just started reading the posts of some of the legendary members of the forum, of which you are one. Your threads on bitcoin and technical are really appreciated. I used to read your posts with amazement and curiosity, as I am not very tech-savvy, and every thread of yours is informative and instructive. But I will regret that I could not bring such a comment from a genius like you to my thread.
Your contribution to the community was immense, and it will take time for the forum to overcome the deficit of your passing. Of course, none of us want to forget you. You were, are, and always will be a legend in this forum.
Heartfelt prayers for you and your family. For your family's patience during this difficult time.God willing, you will overcome your illness and come back to us again. We look forward to hearing from you.
