It's just a suggestion, I don't know what measures has theymos so far taken to try to recover the BTC, but if he says:

How about using multisig, one with Theymos and the other with the holder. It can be recovered somehow if a person die. Any suggestions on this?

I think theymos mentioned somewhere he didn't want to complicate things too much by deciding to use multisig (perhaps because 1.5 years ago it was less popular than today, and less people were familiar with multisig transactions, but that's only my guess).

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!

Offering a bounty like that doesn't sound like a good idea to me, not unless all other options have been exhausted, but still sounds like a bad plan. All you'll get is multiple people bothering a dead man's family and possibly even going as far as to try break into his house or whatnot to try recover the coins or equipment they may be on. If he's a public figure then theymos would be best trying to track him down himself first (if he hasn't already).

As someone else already asked, is he 100% confirmed deceased?

+1. Is it confirmed?

Also, 250 BTC was probably lost when treasurer paraipan died, unfortunately. Recovering that BTC is maybe still possible, but it's probably unlikely.
The forum currently has about 5568 BTC in reserve.

Have you considered offering a bounty of 5-10% of the total amount for anyone that helps in recovering the 250 BTC? I had the impression that paraipan was a semi-public figure in the Bitcoin world -- or at least in Spain, so maybe there are some Spaniards that got to know him well enough to know how to reach out to his family.

Maybe give them some time before you release the bloodhounds?

I don't think that the coins are vanished..

Do you know something that theymos doesn't?

Theymos himself has mentioned that the coins are still there, and he will try to contact paraipan's family for clearing this out

I think the bitcoin should be stored in some multi-sig wallets, to prevent this kind of loss from happening in the future.
If not, may be every treasurer and theymos will need to prepare a dead man switch so that someone else (say your family) will have access to the bitcoin and will have the responsibility to send it back to bitcointalk.

Yea I suggested this before. With bitcoin, if someone dies, there money is gone. the government cant take it or give to the family, its completely lost and only if someone brute forces the private key it can be recovered. Multisig addresses are the way to go with stuff like this.

Yea, I know that its a sensitive topic and all, but 250 btc vanished is something that should be investigated. That is a large sum of money, and you guys should really investigate this.

Wow that's a good bit of coin. Not trying to be morbid or a dick but was there proof of his death?

Maybe it would not be as dead if more people had access to it. I have heard there are only ~30 VIP accounts and I counted there being 111 donator accounts.

@theymos - are you still considering to offer accounts to have some kind of "donator" status for lessor bitcoin donation amounts (regardless if the title given will be "donator" or something else)?

It was discussed in another thread. Atm no, maybe in the future he will do something that will preserve the status of the original VIPs but will provide functionality along those lines.

I have seen quotes from theymos going both ways on this, but I am not sure what is the more recent/accurate.

What I am the most interested in is being able to access the sections reserved for donators and being able to change my username/custom title

I have head that also, but I would think there would be some interesting things discussed from years ago. Also there may be interesting discussions during times of crisis.
