I don't think I contacted you, because if I remember correctly in that thread I had about 10 other people who asked me to get in touch, which I did and didn't receive a single chance at a job nor project.

Sorry man, but I gave up after being turned away or ignored by everyone who asked me to contact them. It's really discouraging. That's why you never heard from me. If you had an opportunity for me, I'm sorry and didn't mean to be disrespectful.

Now, I feel my options are

A) Start coding only for myself and start a website.
B) Code open source projects and hope for donations.

you must have contacted people who left messages after mine because if I remember correctly, I was one of the first to leave a message for you. I don't think or feel that you have disrespected me, I simply think that you are selling yourself short and giving up way too easily.

A) to code for yourself, you'll need a bit of a bankroll to get you through the months you'll spend coding and not earning.
B) most of the people coding for the open source projects have full-time jobs.
