Yeah bitcoiner is a bit of an unreliable nutcase but I do believe he will eventually come through and pay you what he owes you.
At one point somebody sent him $750 and the sender didn't get a response for days on end--he eventually refunded money apparently once he became aware of the situation. (How you lose track of somebody else's $750 is beyond me.)
Thanks underminer, I did see the situation with the $750 GC and am happy to see it was resolved, albeit not in a timely manner, and it took public posts within his own threads to apparently entice any action. (multiple PM's ignored as in my case) Hopefully this will bring bitcoiners attention back to this outstanding obligation and we can all move on.
