Very good idea... I had almost the same idea combined with some open source code.
We can think about it.. you should open a new thread to organize it by members want to involved... add link here

Clearly the guy is an asshole. If you ask someone to do something for you & agree on a price & the person you asked completes the job, then the decent thing to do is pay them. At least now everybody knows who he is so knows to avoid doing anything for him.

& has he paid you since then?
So what was the point of his message? I didn't see anything resembling an apology for not paying you or an acknowledgement that he needs to pay you, or even an undertaking to get you paid now that he's safely at home.

Yes, nothing.
I guess he may be abducted by Aliens this time.
oh, it seems I am now joining you to the club.
Thank you for the info. I just put him on my Ignorelist. I´m not interested in answering any question from him nor doing jobs maybe.
I hope for you to get paid soon.
Well, I know that we are not a "church"... but I know @aeric years now.... i have him as my best friend here... we are sharing code, we swap PMs, we are talking about problems, bugs or when my brain stop working always asking him...
I know how that he is trying the "best" to help them all here...
XMAS coming and we can't wait Santa helping him... there is only one way for me...

Happens to me once, most i am owed is around $300.00, funny enough it was a recurrent customer for about 2 years, simply evaporated, sometimes i wait and wait, and keep waiting, eventually the customer reappears and pays. other times, they tell me that in about a month they will pay, always make them say the date, so you can be at their doorstep that day.
Very important to have your tools pre-made, for example with Star-dust suggestion, keep already a small module that you can insert in your code and make it boom! until paid
Don't be too inquisitive, its bad for your health.

Sometimes... the problem is when "giving" pure code... this code can't "just" expire... and "boom"
I think that this the biggest problem of all professionals (not only for developers, but for anyone sells services or products).. the best way is payment in advance (sometimes the 100%)...
I am professional from 1998... and as you already know -> I am not rich... only few knows my company and ofcourse is not at Wall Street... so you can understand how many jobs done and if they are paid... and how much time spent... to chase for my money :-(
Make a multiplication by x10 in years 2007~2013 (crisis) ---> also forgot to mention Greek New Crisis: 2015~2017, and then the lockdowns...

I need to convert the source code of a VB.NET 2010 application to B4A. Who can help me with this? I am a scientist in Vietnam, although I don't have much money, but i will pay 50$ immediately. Thank you very much!
Was this really your best effort to find the correct place to post this?
Thanks, I will create a new topic, post the VB.NET source code and describe my problem in detail.
This was a tooo loooong thread to read... I read about 80% of if and I agree 100%.
I can speak from experience, with stardust, to which I had started negotiating a job (to be done by him, therefore, paid by me), But to which I "disapeared" before concluding negotiation... Anyway, I didn't (I hope) waist much of his time with me...
Some Ideas brought here were interesting... "we" (Not me of course, it's way too advanced for me) could create some kind of Market Place with ticketing, AND "customer" & "Developer" Ratings... so dev would be advised about a low rating customer and take a job knowing the risk, and Vice-Versa..

I take it people are talking about creating something like this :
Upwork Platform
A friend has another platform - but she is away out of country now - so i can't get that link from her.
somewhere on the Upwork pages is advice on how to your contract working and strategies to try and ensure you get paid (either with milestones or fixed contract broken into parts). Too at night now to look for it - you'll have to scout around yourselves.
