Well crap, that really sucks. Best wishes to those who knew him; he will be missed.

OMG, I am so sorry Snail!

Tragic waste. So young.

Life is just not fair.

Condolences to his family. And snailbrain.

I am very sad.
His contribution to the Namecoin project was unique.

Could we put a remembrance message for him in the Namecoin blockchain in special namespace ?
It should remain in the blockchain forever.
(For Aaron Schwarz may be we could also create a namespace entry which should be renewed each year.)

I support this idea, but not sure if it makes sense to do this with a name. (Since everyone can register a name to put stuff into the blockchain, so this wouldn't really emphasise anything.) Maybe a coinbase transaction of some block (like lots of people did with Bitcoin)? We would need a mining pool to do that, though.

Sad to read this. Mikhail. Thanks for Namecoin-qt! Rest in peace.
