How is it I didn't get that alert? Come to think of it, I don't recall ever getting alerts about delisting coins, I even had to sell off all my 1stblood coins last week when I suddenly noticed that the wallet had gone offline and I just traded them at the nearest buy offer. Not that it was anything more than a funbag among many funbags I seem to obtain every now and then.
On one hand, we all know the risks of holding coins on exchanges. And we know even better the risks of holding some of these "shitcoins". I would say, though, that as long as exchanges get away with it, they'll be happy to continue doing so. Can you imagine all the "dead" coins guys like Bittrex must be holding? Imagine if, like others have, these dead coins suddenly get a revival years from now. Think they'll ever give the coins back?
Also, lesson to alts that show off successful listing on Bittrex. I recall late last year they charged $10k for a 3-month listing fee. Maybe some projects just thought to pay that fee, do their pump and then forget all about it.
