Except your time line is all wrong. We were asked to destroy the pre-mine AFTER the coin was already listed. No good deed goes unpunished. In the future we will likely not offer our services in destroying coins so as not to get dragged into these scandals.
Ah, my mistake then.
I do suggest however if a dev states that a premine will be destroyed --
even if it's not through bittrex -- that the exchange hold off on listing it. The issue isn't that you agreed to destroy the coins. It's that you listed the coin before the premine was destroyed, regardless of who was supposed to destroy it.
Of course if the dev didn't state any premine was to be destroyed until after you listed it, you can't take any blame, as you couldn't have know about it. Again, not sure when it was mentioned or not in the ann thread.
