I'm just catching up on this thread now and want inject a couple of thoughts. Bittrex's main goal is to protect the traders/miners of the crypto community and to allow for a safe place for transactions to happen. Two things can happen here... a) a dev team can offer an IPO in a BCT thread, where people can just run off with the money no questions asked, or b) we can list the ICO (initial coin offer .. lets get away from the IPO term) and ensure that the proper assets change hands with delivery requirements.
Personally I would think you want option b here. If you do research and believe its not trustworthy, do no invest. We are here just as an escrow to protect you in the transaction. The free market should decide what is and isn't successful.
For the record, we did not get paid, nor do we get any proceeds from ICOs we do (minus our tiny trade fee).
Thanks,

Nice spin. You should be in politics.
