You're not a liar,
but from your OWN comments it's more than clear it was not a theft, and you call it a 'theft' and a 'scam'.
Let's say you own a store selling products. I walk in and see a product you are selling for 0.3 BTC and give you the money. You don't give me a working product and refuse to return my money.. what do you call that?
1. You hired barry to make a PoS wallet for another currency.
This is correct.
2. He made several attempts (7 versions of wallets or?) but for whatever reason it didn't work for you
(barry told that it's just because you were not able to tune it right to make it work,
but anyway he didn't reply your PMs for a week or more and you hired another coder who made a wallet so you've paid this sum twice)...
Barry blamed me for multiple things over the course of testing new wallets, not one fault was my own. Simply, his work didn't work. I am not the only one he blames for his software not working properly, NovaExchange has also been blamed.
3. You had made an agreement with barry to refund 0.2 btc (btw not 0.3 btc).
Despite of barry believed it's not fair, he agreed on it very likely to prevent a scam accusation attack from you.
I did make an agreement to only receive 0.2 of the 0.3 BTC. He did some work and I thought it fair that he at least keeps some of it. That wasn't ever a problem. It became a problem when I didn't even receive 1 satoshi after 2 weeks and was just ignored completely.
4. He probably was not able to raise these 0.2 btc in time and then a BTC price started to rise and now it's not 0.2 btc in USD or AUD.
BTC's price rising has nothing to do with it. We agreed on a BTC amount for this job, not a monetary amount. I sent him 0.3 BTC and only requested 0.2 of it back. He failed to do so.
5. Anyway if he promised to return, must keep his word, but it looks like he doesn't have this money at the moment.
He did promise to return it, and then basically told me to go fuck myself and he wasn't going to pay it back at all. This is what has made me angry and now here we are.
6. I suggested you in a PM to raise this 0.2 btc from the Mooncoin community (after you opened a scam accusation thread against a dev who had done a lot for MOON, but you told that you had enough money and it's not the point).
This is correct. The MOON community doesn't owe me anything and it would be unfair to ask them to provide me the money they didn't take. I said long ago that I had already accepted the loss of BTC.
SORA, who has known me for a long time, said it best previously in this thread. The money itself is of no concern to me, the fact that it was taken and the dishonesty around it is my issue. I have spent years giving people money and for years to come I will continue to do so.
7. It's not fair to open 2 scam accusation threads and to leave 3 negative feedbacks in a trust rating system on 1 case (1 was left by another user though - on your case though),
so if we had 10 positive cases with barry, obviously we could leave 10 positive feedbacks. 1 case = 1 positive feedback.
I didn't open 2 scam accusation threads, only 1. My other thread is in the Services section as a warning to others about his services, not a scam report.
8. People really had many positive cases with barry, they are telling the truth, and they have a right to say about it, so now they're all scammers?
The feedback that I posted above was ONLY posted because of the negative feedback he has now. Please don't think I am stupid, this is blatantly obvious.
9. Let's be fair, 1 negative case, 1 person = 1 negative feedback. It's not fair to try to destroy the reputation of many people because of 1 case with 1 man.
I haven't tried to destroy anyone's reputation, their reputation is what they make it. If they choose to defend someone who stole money from me then that is their decision, not mine.
I make mistakes often yes, but I do not steal from others and will do everything I can to help others when they are in a tough spot. My word is my bond and everyone who has ever dealt with me can attest to this.
I asked to barry a web wallet for ridiculous price, yes moonrush is not a finished job, but he has given us in the meantime, wallet windows core, linux, electrum, android coinomi , spv and other valuable consulting free!
without asking us anything. Is he a scammer?
You should have a talk with Mooncoin_Foundation about the compensation Barry has received in return for his services.
Just because someone does stuff for cheap or free doesn't make them trustworthy.. Not even sure how that could be brought in at all. What determines trust is delivering what they were paid for on time without issues.
I was told 1 week for the wallet, a month later we were still where we started.
I don't know exactly what happened between you guys, so I can't speak on that, what I wrote was from "my" experiences with Barry which is the truth. However, in your case, it would be a true shame for "me" to bare false witness to any event that I have no knowledge of. "I" haven't had any bad experiences with you either as well as anyone else in this community.
You left that feedback in regards to the feedback left by myself and Lauda but you didn't do any research as to why he has negative feedback in the first place? Would explain why you haven't witnessed any scams made by him if you didn't bother reading what it was about.
I didn't leave that feedback in regards to the feedback left by you and Lauda, I left that feedback in the regards to a positive goal. I didn't do any research on him, you, nor anyone in this community because there has not been any need for me to do so. I'm aware of what has been "discussed" and I did read what it was about. Because "I" haven't seen any hard evidence that would support your claim unanimously, I can't bare false witness. From what I understand is that this is common misunderstanding between client and hire. There wasn't a set amount of revisions, and you are dissatisfied with the work. I'm sure there must be some form of reconciliation with this, lets focus on a resolution because focusing on who is wrong and right is getting us nowhere.
Lets get real here.. Nobody left Barry feedback until he had negative feedback in regards to something else. You and the others ONLY left that feedback because of it. If what you say is true then you would have done it prior when you were satisified with his work but nobody did.
There is a very simple solution to this yes, Barry can repay what he agreed to repay and keep his word. He has already stated that he doesn't owe me anything and will not repay it. He has avoided me since then and just wants to run from his debt.
