This is what NYC posted on there Twiiter page, Nyc has already removed Yobit from the list of exchanges of the website https://nycoin.community. This is serious don't lose your money by leaving your coins on Yobit.

"WARNING: @YobitExchange is refusing to update #NewYorkCoin wallets. Convert your NYC to ETH and withdraw it from the exchange as soon as possible. @CoinMarketCap & @coingecko have been contacted to request removal of Yobit related $NYC links from their respective #NYCoin pages."

It's highly unlikely Yobit has an NYC on either chain after the 51% attack.  The old chain is easily attacked and worthless, based on comments by the mod in Yobit's troll box, Yobit does not plan to move to the updated codebase despite months of effort by the community to get them to.  If you want to gamble that is up to you, but if it were me I would exit.  That has been the community recommendation for weeks when confirmation of Yobit's intent was not provided.

Excuse me, Mr. Guardian Person,

I have noticed that you have not really taken any action on the coinomi wallet update ... Will you be participating in the raffle, contributing towards the fee or maybe even contacting coinomi in general to help?

Most of us in the NYC community are aware of the previous contributions  from "Mr. Guardian Person".  On this front (edit:the Coinomi wallet and listing on Exchanges) he has done more than anyone else in the community.  The original adoption of NYC by Coinomi and the listing on Yobit are primarily due to the efforts of one individual.  I say thanks for that, but it's time for the community to stand on it's own and put it's money where it's mouth is.

...You can not have a coin with no max supply ever maintain a steady price.  It has been proven over and over in the real world.
That is true except when it is not  Wink

Annual gold supply is just over 4,000 tonnes per year, with roughly 60% coming from miners and 40% from recycled gold (unlike industrial silver, gold is almost completely recovered and recycled back into above ground inventories).

I'm not a gold bug by any means, but $369.00 stuck under a mattress in 1996 would still be $369.00 - an ounce of gold would be worth a bit more.  So as long as NYC does not inflate as fast as USD it has a chance.

Existing chain will continue humming along with just a little hash power, uninterrupted. Just like it has done for the past 4 1/2 yrs ....

Except for the many times no block was found for 10 minutes or an hour because a big multi-pool hit hard and fast made a bunch of coin and left the small miners to burn hash at high difficulty till a block was found, only to see the same thing happen over and over again.  How do merchants rely on that level of inconsistency?

The existing NYC chain does not need the new NYC chain in any way. Existing chain will continue humming along with just a little hash power, uninterrupted. Just like it has done for the past 4 1/2 yrs (with exception of the past few days).

If the new chain is implemented correctly, it will not rely on existing NYC chain for anything.

Both can operate independently. At least the existing code can. I hope the new chain will as well.

Thank you for that hand-wavy completely non-technical and non-reassuring response  Cheesy
You remind me very much of a character from Twilight of the Cockroaches (1987)
It's a great Anime, you should watch it.

I really like the name LitecoinFree (describes NYC specs very well). You don't? But I am not planning to re-name the existing chain anything. Or market it. Or try to create extra value from it. Just ensure it is healthy and confirming transactions every 30 seconds free of charge. And give the new chain enough time to be real-world tested and proven to be worthy of replacing our amazing (slightly outdated) existing codebase.
I'm fine with the name, Charlie Lee might have a different opinion.

The issue that concerns me and should concern you is that users will be confused about which chain they are on and will experience the same issues that they recently experienced with the chain split.  This was only a chain split, when the hard-fork happens they won't be able to recover from attempts to send transactions across chains.  If you rename your chain to "Litecoin Free" much of this confusion could be avoided.

The NYC dev team has said nothing about implementing replay protection.  Have you looked into or thought about the implications?

UPDATE: The existing chain of NYC will be kept alive and healthy for an indefinite time after any upcoming hard-fork to update NYC code. Please make sure you save an updated copy of your wallet.dat file. This way your NYC is always safe.

Will you be changing the name of the old chain to "Litecoin Free", the name you floated for NewYorkCoin a while back?
Wait, I thought there wasn't going to be a fork?
Also where are the ATMs you promised us last year (or was it the year before)?

Test before implement. That "atrocious" code has worked flawlessly for 4+ years. No hacks. Confirms every 30 seconds. Yobit (top 35 exchange) added old code. Coinomi (#1 rated alt-coin wallet) added old code. Everything works and has worked flawlessly. Just more difficult to mine these days...

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/seliot/2011/04/25/i-dont-always-test-my-code-but-when-i-do-i-do-it-in-production/

As a miner who also happens to be a software architect for a fortune 500 company that tests the hell out of our code using unit, integration and End-to-End tests I understand that the test environment can never replicate the real world in anything but the simplest of use cases.
Users with little-to-no understanding of software development are not very forgiving but from what I can tell due diligence was applied in this scenario.

I'm looking to the future right now and I see it being very bright with a more modern codebase and a sleeker set of features. That future will not come by doing nothing.

Slosh

Eloquently stated Slosh.  You have the full faith and support of the NewYorkCoinCommunity and as an NYC miner I fully support the direction you and the Dev Team are taking and look forward to a NewYorkCoin that is safer and more reliable for merchants and vastly more secure than the current code base with it's well known and exploitable vulnerabilities.
