If you're planning to burn coins from an exchange, be sure to allow time for any withdrawal issues they may have. If you wait until the last minute and the withdrawal is delayed, you could miss the deadline.
In other news, DGCS Digital Credits has moved 1,000,000 coins from their "burn fund", and about 89,000 DGCS have been mined with PoW:
http://explore.dcredits.com/At dcredits.com, it says
"PoB will be handled by our exchange partner, the developers of Digital Credits will have no control over the fund". But unless they move the rest of the 200,000,000 premine to the same address where the 1,000,000 has just been moved, the developers
will have control over the fund.
They say only 2.6 million coins will be distributed each year for burned coins - why do they need to move 1 million now?
It's worrying that they premined 200,000,000, since that supply will last 76 years if they keep their promises. But they've already broken their promises:

those credits are not in circulation and wont be anytime soon. Burn credits will be distributed at about the same rate as PoW credits, give or take depending on how many coins we target at once. You can always check the richest wallet on the block explorer and compare it to what we spend on burn once it starts to make sure nothing is being stolen.
Based on the dev's own statements, should we assume that over 90% of all DGCS in circulation have been stolen from the dev's premine fund?
They have a premine of 200 million coins, and they say we can
always check the address to make sure the funds are handled properly. That means they're offering this address as their sole means of public accountability.
No coins have been burned, but 1 million DGCS have moved - presumably to the BTCpool exchange?
If BTCpool credits their users' accounts with DGCS, within their own system, it will be impossible for anyone to verify the movement of these coins on the blockchain. Now there are 2 huge premine funds, and neither is accountable or transparent.
There hasn't even been an announcement or explanation about these million coins; they were sent to an address that has already received and sent coins - to a Top 20 wallet, presumably at C-cex or Yobit? Is there now a million-coin premine "burn fund" in a wallet that has already been selling coins on exchanges?
We take it as a sign of BARR's popularity that we have already inspired copycat projects, although DGCS has only a superficial similarity to BARR.
But even though DGCS is not designed to accomplish the far-reaching and innovative changes that BARR is already achieving, it should still be managed with honesty and transparency for the sake of investors.
No BARR has ever moved from our Burn Fund without corresponding and publicly-available transaction IDs for the burned altcoins, as well as the NXT txids for the BARR that was sent. We've put a lot of time, effort, and money into this idea, and we hope transparency becomes a must-have for all crypto projects.
