While it's true Yobit always had a bad reputation everyone was happy to trade there.  It wasn't until they refused to update the code prior to the fork, refused to communicate with the dev team or respond to tickets with anything other than form letters and kept on trading NYC they didn't have after they locked the wallets that negative posts were made. Even after every other exchange affected by the 51% acknowledged they had lost funds, Yobit remained mostly silent offering some bullshit excuse that the dev-team was somehow responsible and stating at one point they were delisting.

All that said, at this point in time with all the warnings that have been provided, anyone that is getting ripped off by your Yobit scam, probably deserves it.

As far as hating you Charlie, I don't know if hate is the right word, but the sad truth is that your constant need for attention and control has damaged this coin beyond calculation.  It's hard to say how much of the current state is due to damage you directly caused or simply due to the macro-economic conditions all lower-tier altcoins are suffering through.  It is however certain that you have driven away many who worked hard to spread the word about NYCoin.  So many times people came to discord and begged to fork the coin and change the name just to be rid of you.  Over and over again people reached out to you and tried to work with you, only to have you throw them under the bus.  It's regrettable that things were said that bruised your fragile ego, it's been years yet you still post how butthurt you are that someone called you a "crazy uncle" as you attack communities with hundreds of active members and thousands of registered users.  It might have been intended as a humorous acknowledgement of the significant role you played at that time, but now you are a just bit player than can only act as a spoiler as you have with your Yobit scam, driving the price down 50%.

At this moment there are bids at 5 gwei ($0.000010) on Graviex that aren't filling because CMC is including Yobit prices at 3 gwei ($0.000006).  Nobody wants buy under those conditions, it would seem.   
Personally I have stopped trading NYC, maybe I'll wait till the Yobit debacle has driven the price down further and pick up some cheap NYC (I won't be buying on Yobit, obviously) or maybe I'll wait till Yobit finally delists and can no longer be used by you to manipulate the price.

Yeah, thanks for completely destroying confidence in NYC with your stupid Yobit scam.  Nice job!  Chalk up another fine mess courtesy of CK/scryptenthusiast/nycminer.  It will take some time for NewYorkCoin to recover from your "contributions". Anyhoo, while you can't withdraw, volume and price are still being counted on Yobit - why not just keep wash trading while you attack the people trying to make real contributions? Sure you have to pay fees and some small players will siphon off value but you can still keep bragging about how great Yobit is.

P.S. Isn't there some conspiracy theory site you should be posting on instead of wasting time here?  What about a flat-earth convention?  So many conspiracies based on junk-science, so little time.

More word salad from chef scryptenthusiast.  I like how you use terms like 51% attack without even understanding what they are.
It's laughable  

Based on the lame comment you just made and some of your earlier comments, it would appear you think that malware infected wallets can be used to launch a 51% attack against a scrypt based crypto in the age of ASICs.  You also claim to be an "early miner" though it's clear that what mining you did was based on following some instructions on the internet you didn't really understand or that you had someone smarter set it up for you.

Given your propensity to misconstrue technical issues, I'll spell it out for you, - Non-mining wallets are completely irrelevant - an ASIC mined PoW coin (like NYC) is 51% attacked via a mining node that has been modified so it doesn't broadcast found blocks, till the attacker is ready, in conjunction with rented hashrate, which has become readily available in the last couple years.

The lower the base hashrate a coin has in relation to the available hashrate the easier and cheaper it is to 51% attack.  This is true for all PoW algorithms. Since the changes made after the fork turned NYC into an AuxPoW chain, it is much easier to increase the baseline hashrate, which has risen 10-fold since the fork and will rise further once more large pools are added.  Additional off-chain measures were also added, much to your chagrin.

The conversion to AuxPoW was an absolute necessity to maintain hashrate, especially since one of the other major changes in the fork was an inflation reduction schedule, a feature you have been asking for for at least three years.  Reducing the mining reward would have reduced the profitability and thus the amount of hashrate applied to NewYorkCoin.  As you can see it's a multi-variable equation, or maybe you can't see, come to think of it. It's simply amazing that you can't seem to hold more than one concept in your head at any given moment, which is why you contradict yourself so frequently, I guess.

But all this has been explained to you many, many times.  Either you just aren't capable of understanding or you actually do and you have ulterior motives.
Looking back, it's almost as if you wanted NYC to remain super vulnerable, as much as you fought against the changes that were made.

P.S.  For anyone interested in learning more about the importance of hashrate and why NewYorkCoin is actively pursuing large pools see:
https://cryptoslate.com/why-litecoins-dominance-mining-algorithm-critical-security/

AuxPoW coins like Dogecoin frequently have as much or more of the total available hashrate as does the dominant coin on a given algorithm.  NewYorkCoin's long term goal is to acquire a total hashrate that exceeds the hashrate of the largest scrypt pool.

This thread serves as a documented history of NewYorkCoin and is a more stable platform to set the record straight, as compared with other social media: twitter, facebook, discord or telegram.  The team does attempt to inform users on other social media platforms but CK blocks them on the ones he controls.

Scryptenthusiast aka hivemind aka nycminer aka dozens of other aliases aka CK aka Charlie Kartchner has operated NewYorkCoin as his own personal pump and dump for a number of years and alternatively undermines/takes credit for the thousands of person-hours contributed by dozens of people.  The community moderators and devs are constantly having to clean up the messes CK makes and deal with hundreds of pissed off NYC holders that think the community is associated with CKs misinformation sites.

Early on the community tried to work with CK but you can't really work with a narcissistic control-freak who is always willing to cut off his nose to spite his face. Even something as simple as a shared website where all content was agreed upon prior to publishing was impossible, hell CK couldn't even accept a logo that was voted on by hundreds of NYC fans, preferring to retain "creative control" of his spare tire logo.

Reading backward in this forum you can see that when scryptenthusiast starts pumping Yobit last month, either by accident or design, it takes several weeks for Yobit to open the wallets instead of the days he promised.  This does however make those who say it can't happen (because Yobit does not have enough NYC left) look bad, at least initially.  Scryptenthusiast goes on to insist that the 5k he paid will cover any losses, and that in-fact, Yobit only lost $300.  Analysis of the 51% attack with a clear timeline had already been published, and while an exact number was never calculated, >70% of the confirmed 10 Billion in open sell orders was thrown out as a ballpark number. At today's prices, $5K would not put a dent in those losses.  Fast forward to July 31st - Yobit opens the wallets for deposit only, eliciting ridicule.  Wallets do open for withdrawal a few hours later and 3 Billion NYC are quickly moved off of Yobit by those that understand the situation. Within 10 days (after 4 billion NYC are withdrawn) there are problems, with Yobit providing various excuses why withdrawals are failing.  Eventually all withdrawals stop, as predicted.

So now we come to motivation, why would scryptenthusiast, given the evidence that this would not end well, push so hard to get Yobit open and convince people to trade there?  After all, there have to be better exchanges to invest money and time in, exchanges that the entire community could get behind.  The answer can be found in the poorly redacted screenshot scryptenthusiast included in a post pumping Yobit months ago.  In that post it can be sussed out that scryptenthusiast still had close to 7 Billion NYC stuck on Yobit, and while he had been able to sell small amounts at rock bottom prices even after wallets were locked back in Oct 2018, opening the wallets would pump both price and volume allowing scryptenthusiast to convert a bigger chunk of the the value stored in NYC to something more liquid:  ETH, DOGE or USD.  So now we have a motive and an explanation for behavior that would otherwise appear irrational.

While I personally don't expect CKs sycophants (if they even exist) to heed the warnings posted here, this thread can and does serve as a useful source of information for those who do their due diligence.  Plus it just feels good to call out CK on his bullshit.

But to your point, there is a very simple solution:  CK, stop posting scam information and there won't be anything requiring a clarifying response.

I come here to get my recommended daily fiber reading your word salads 

I still get a chuckle when I think about how you were calling for a supply cap AND no fees    I mean, seriously?  How would that even work, did you even read the Bitcoin whitepaper, much less understand it?

BTW, you need to step up your wash trade game, Yobit is lagging right now:

Nice job of contradicting yourself 

Team CK is filled with Mensa candidates.

You are holding this coin back, Charlie.  No developers want to invest their valuable time while you continue to perpetuate your con.  Your history is an unending stream of broken promises about merchant adoption and ATMs, your contributions have all been cynical shortcuts to garner you the quickest profits possible or self-aggrandizing efforts like your "Coin Center".  If you had poured those resources into building a team to provide the much needed advancement to the code and infrastructure instead of squandering the opportunities the last bull-run provided you with, that would have demonstrated leadership.  As it is, every developer that met you quickly recognized you for what you are - a con man.  Most simply walked away, a few joined the NYCoin Community and donated what time they could, but not nearly enough.

You are no leader.

As the NYC community team clearly articulated, SouthXchange is necessary to act as a backup when Graviex goes into maintenance.  SouthXchange is supported by several of the larger multi-pools that provide hashrate necessary to secure the integrity of the blockchain and protect against 51% attacks in an era where anyone with a few hundred dollars can rent enough hashrate to wreak havoc with small hashrate coins.  It was hoped that bringing Yobit back online would also serve that purpose but the large pools don't like working with Yobit.  Yobit is unreliable and unresponsive and have screwed over too many coin dev teams with their shenanigans.

Additionally, and while I hate to be the bearer of bad news, research in this very thread has shown that 70% percent of the NYC on Yobit was recently controlled by a single person. During the run up, this number was likely 90% or more since that person was also the person responsible for bringing NYC to Yobit and has, over the years, been the greatest supporter of Yobit, despite all the drama Yobit has created for NYC.  When you control that much of the float on a single exchange, it is very easy to washtrade the price in any direction you want at very little cost.

So yes @Bigger By the Day, I think the NYC team does understand that NYC might not reach the highs of the last bull run without an exchange like Yobit supporting fake volume and wash trading that profits a very small number of people at the expense of the many.  The strongly held belief by many I've communicated with is that by working together as a community to support each other and the NYC blockchain through incremental improvements, the goal of a trustless, decentralized means of exchange and store of value will be achieved.

Consolidation down to a few coins is certainly a possibility. However, I think there is also the case to be made for a larger number of coins that, by supporting atomic swaps, be it through second-layer solutions like LN or via DEXs, provide increased resiliency against attack and centralization efforts by supporting multiple simultaneous network paths.  For POS coins, the energy requirements can be mitigated by having the majority of coins use AuxPOW.

The other interesting benefit to having multiple tokens/coins is that they can provide unique utility, DGB's password manager feature being an example.  Many purpose built chains that do one or two things well would be better than having a kitchen sink/jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none approach.  I do agree that tokens/coins that merely tweak rewards, block-timings, etc. will cease to have value.

How else do you suggest they verify the claims of pathological liars such as yourself?

The NYCoin Community is leaning a bit on the research provided by Prohashing to assess the cost benefit.
IIRC the criteria that tipped the decision towards SouthExchange were:

#1 - supported by Prohashing
#2 - cost
#3 - no volume requirement
#4 - exposure to a market we are under-represented in (South America)
#5 - A unique voting system that allows supporters to contribute directly to the listing without using a middleman

STEX met the first criteria but not the others.  STEX does have higher volume, but the goal was to have a backup exchange and the risk of delisting made it a non-starter.

While any exchange carries risk, I haven't seen any significant negative feedback for SouthExchange.
The same cannot be said of Yobit, sadly.  And as of last night withdrawals have again been disabled on Yobit:

Oh I think we will we just have to keep you posting long enough to trace your IP 

You funny  

Everything you say is so backwards, you are basically the Wimp Lo of Crypto:

Already 3+ Billion NYC have left Yobit since withdrawals were enabled and the volume has dropped dramatically.  At this point is mostly just you wash trading with yourself 

It's well understood that when you say "NYC" you mean Charlie K's wallet.
By community we mean the larger group of NYC contributors that work to keep others from being scammed by you and other unscrupulous lowlifes  

So far Yobit looks better than expected.  They are short, but based on the addresses in use since they opened up for withdrawals they have quite a bit in reserve still, so overall this has been a worthwhile effort on your part Charlie and there has been net benefit to the community. I don't really care what your motives actually are as long as the community benefits.  So thanks.

scryptenthusiast you really are a piece of work.  TradeSatoshi and Crex24 were at least honest enough to tell us the extent of their losses and they were only under attack for a day or so.  Yobit was under attack for 9 days before they shutdown the wallets. This has all been documented and verified against the blockchain.  You are either a lying sack of shit or just extremely stupid.

We are tracking Yobit wallets.  Balances are down by 30% since they opened for withdrawals.  We shall see how long it takes for them to get to zero.

For example:
https://explorer.nycoin.info/address/RWnokXefS68Ubfvnn6H4G9dkueicKpQt6d

Sadly it turns out regaining Yobit won't help us with hashrate. The pools I notified let me know that they will not use Yobit unless it is the only market for NYC.  They deem Yobit to be too unreliable.

Let's not get started on your breath.

That is the problem with Yobit and scryptenthusiast aka Charlie K. You can't get a straight story from them.  The story is constantly changing and contradicting itself.

The double-spends on Yobit were tracked so we know how much they lost, even if they won't tell us, we just don't know how much they had to begin with.
It's for sure the numbers CK is quoting are bullshit, but that doesn't mean that CK didn't find a way to cover the shortfall, or that Yobit fees over the last 9 months haven't been helpful in defraying losses.

So if it turns out that CK can get Yobit back online permanently, that is a huge win and it gives NYC another exchange supported by Prohashing.  I'm not ready to make a judgement either way yet, but if it turns out my concerns that this is another scam are unwarranted I will of course offer my heartfelt apologies and gratitude.

One thing is for sure, I never thought it would get even this far so there's that.
