He tried to convince me to develop something big and complicated for him. In fact, he contacted me several times when I did not apply for the job to ask me why I hadn't applied to get me to apply.
His initial email suggested it could be a paid position, but in a later email he said he usually didn't pay anything but royalties for the first 2-3 projects to make sure you're reliable or something. Unfortunately, I think most of our correspondence was via MSN and was lost, so I don't have any more details.
Anyway in the end I decided not to take the job. I'm pretty sure it was because he refused to pay me anything up front and the job was so big it would have taken several months to develop. This guy claimed to make a ton of money off that encryption program, and I make next to nothing, but even I paid my artist up front. :-)
