On 31. May, he offered a 5BTC bounty for a script: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84467

We discussed the requirements in PM and I told him that I'll work on it after he gave me a test account. It looks like he accepted another user for the same job too.
discordian666 definatively was online after I sent him my PM and before I delivered the result, so he could have easily told me that my work was not needed anymore.
Unfortunately, the other user handed over his solution without getting paid first.

After I sent my results, discordian666 decided not to react for a few days, so I sent a reminder on 2. June.
He replied, asking me to wait a few more days until he gets some BTC to pay me.
The next reminder I sent on 7. June to him and he asked for my BTC address (which he already had).
On 11. June, I told him that I'll only wait until 15. June before making it public.
He's been online after that, so he received my PM but decided to remain silent.

Well, today is the 16. June. I offered him numerous times to sort this out in PM, but he chose to ignore all this.

But in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84467 you said the script was passworded and useless until he pays?

"My script is passworded however and useless for him until payment arrived."

I think its the principle... You say that you'll pay someone to do something and back down once the work is complete.

Which is true. I sent him an encrypted archive containing the script.
I discussed all the details and requirements with him and then finished the job.

So its just the fact he didn't pay?

I would be pissed to.... :P

Yup. You wouldn't be pissed if you worked on a (luckily small) project with someone who, after you did your part of the deal, just decides not to pay?

While I have "only" lost the time I spent working for him, I can still warn others, no?
