This is truly heartbreaking news for the forum; I recall reading your comments on several of my threads, as well as asking you some questions about which I was unsure, and all of your responses were very informative, which fueled my desire to learn more about Bitcoin.

When I read through your profile and some of your posts, I wondered how long this user had been in bitcoin to have acquired this level of knowledge. Is he one of the Bitcoin developers?

Indeed, the bitcoin technical board will miss you greatly. I'm not sure why, but I'm just overjoyed that I had the opportunity to interact with such a great man as you - I suppose it's the same feeling that those who interacted with Satoshi had during his time.

Thank you for all of your help to those in need; hopefully, other legends whose posts I've read will continue the work and fill the void you're leaving.  Legends include @hosseinimr93, @BitMaxz, @NotATether, @nc50lc, @pooya87, @seek3r, @apogio, @BlackHatCoiner, and many others whom I have yet to interact with.

Farewell, Leo.
