CMv2 - Whitelist token burn explanation #123

Closed epomatti closed 2 years ago

epomatti commented 2 years ago

Whitelist mode setting is not clear.

What is the difference between { "burnEveryTime": true } and { "neverBurn": true } in a practical sense?

Could you provide example use cases and the intention behind using one or the other? Why would I do a pre-sales while setting burnEveryTime = true?

OK so the token in this case will work as the currency to purchase the NFTs.

The burn option represents the token "currency" every time, as it may not actually be useful for anything else.
