Assuming the message post by Bitsky is genuine (...)
It is. 1BTC isn't really an amount I'd consider for an extortion.

I got distracted by other projects and have since not been able to devote time or care into litecoins or alt currencies. He didn't help me enough to warrant a tip. There was no concrete amount of money for amount of work discussed. He was not hired or contracted.
Assuming the message post by Bitsky is genuine, you did not offered him a tip. You had had an agreement with him where you stated that he would be rewarded 1 BTC if he provided a script to perform a specific action:

I am unsure how to setup litecoin wallets automatically. I have full access to the server, was just hoping that there is a good online resource for this, or someone had whatever php snippet it would take to create a new litecoin address. If you can supply a script and any files needed to do this, I'll reward you with a bitcoin or equivalent worth in litecoins.
In this case, if Bitsky really sent you the material, he is entitled to receive the 1 BTC you promised.
So I sat down, installed Litecoin in a VM along with PHP and JSON-RPC. A few hours later, I sent you the litecoin.conf, the PHP snippet to create new addresses along with an explanation on how to use it.
If you later lost interest then that's not really my problem to be honest. You received what you had asked for.

So I log in today to find myself being extorted by this douche trying to get money out of me for something he claimed he helped with from like 3 months ago. He sent me a threat that I didn't read until recently that he was going to post about me unless I give him money. He didn't understand what I was trying to do, and didn't help. I got distracted by other projects and have since not been able to devote time or care into litecoins or alt currencies. He didn't help me enough to warrant a tip.

I would beware talking to Bitsky, since according to him typing nonsense obligates you to pay 1 bitcoin.....or else he is going slander you on the internet.

I don't really know if you keep private messages, but I do:

Are you a web programmer? If so would you be able to do alt currency web scripting help if needed for BTC compensation?
To me that sounded like you offered a bounty.Are you a web programmer? If so would you be able to do alt currency web scripting help if needed for BTC compensation?

I sent you a few PM to talk about this because I think problems are better discussed via PM first, but you ignored me; and yes, I know that you were online after I sent them. You had almost three months to get this sorted out, and two weeks after I sent my recent reminder. The only "thread" was my accouncement to let others know about this; I didn't even call you a scammer.
I guess it depends on whether it was contracted work, or spec work.
If it was a "I will hire you to help me do this, and I will pay you this amount" and you don't pay him for his time, even if he couldn't do what you wanted, thats pretty shitty.
If it was a "Hey, I need help with this, I will pay you an amount we will determine when you have finished the work"
and then he contributes over a short period of time because you decide that you no longer need his help, you do owe him for his time, but that is assuming he contributed something to the project.
If I wanted to set up a site, and then someone draws me a picture of a hippo, I'm not giving them anything.
If I wanted a drawing of a hippo, and they draw me a bad picture of a hippo, I may owe them for their time, but you can feel free to drop their services.

Almost three months ago, tatsuchan started this thread, asking for PHP/LTC help: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/php-litecoin-script-90586
I PM'ed him on the same day with some questions and he replied, offering a 1BTC bounty (or LTC equivalent), so I set up Litecoin in a VM to test everything and wrote a small PHP script which creates and returns a new address, along with some usage/setup instructions.
After not having heard anything from him for over a week, I PM'ed him again and he apologized, saying that he has too much work and hadn't check it yet.
About two weeks ago, I asked again twice and gave him a deadline, but so far I've been ignored.
I would have shrugged it off if he said he dropped the project and never used it or gave another explanation instead of simply ignoring my messages.
