Do NOT send money to the bitcoin address formerly linked to the first post. Even if somehow a random website hosted by a random person was actually a legitimate donation path for a nonprofit organization (which I say 90% chance isn't), it's beyond wrong to try to profit off of someone's death. Seriously, no.

Many thanks for all of his contributions to the scene and may he RIP
RIP "Bushing," you have inspired myself and countless others. Your technical knowledge never ceases to amaze me. The scene lost one of its greatest leaders and the world lost a very bright man.

My heart and prayers go out to his family and anyone else who knew him personally.

You know....for me, turning 30 was NOTHING....no crises, no "what have I done with my life"....it was just another birthday. My last birthday, however, was extremely hard on me because I was turning 35....it's rare, but you do hear about people having heart attacks at 35....so seeing this post hits home pretty hard for me.

RIP and good luck on the other side, whatever may be there for him!!!
