[ANN][NYC] NEW YORK COIN at 2017 MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE IN NYC!

[01Fedda]

If only the coin supply was lowered then this coin's price will go up so far.  I think 1Billion or less should be good for now.
 Please lower the coin supply NYC team.  And I personally wanna say good job to everyone so far!

When working wallet for win will be uploaded?

Windows wallet and upgraded Litecoin code has been completed. Just awaiting zip files from dev helping with project.

For coin appearance, I prefer original coin (high resolution will be available at nycoin.net) and animated NYC version currently on website, facebook, twitter, etc. The newest rendition looks a little creepy / grim reaper to me personally.

Community can vote on coin as well as code upgrade!

Let's mine it?

Hey team I don't mean to be a nag lol, but 100 Billion is way too much for coin supply.  Even 100 Million is way too much right now for any crypto coin.  Please remember that crypto trading is still ranked with a very small percentage on the trading platform.  So my suggestion would be to lower the coin supply.  I recommend a total of 50 Million coins or less.

No way you could lower it anywhere near 50 million, there are way way more than that already in circulation, the thing that needs to happen to make them worth more, is make them much harder to get, just like option 4 in the vote.
Option 4 will lower the rate at which you can mine the coins by going from 10,000 per block to 1,000, and halving every year like they say, and after a certain amount, as of yet undecided, is mined, then the coin will be earned only from staking the coins in your wallet, that in turn will lead to people buying the coin, not mining and dumping, because the only way to get more will be to keep them and increase them in the wallet, if you sell them, then you are basically selling your miner. Proof of Stake Interest % can be as high or low as the community votes for.

UPDATE FROM DEVELOPER

Upgrade to lower block reward of 1,000 NYC and implementing annual Jan 1st New Year's halving thereafter will be a very simple, straightforward upgrade.

However, implementing a POS from an original  POW coin is very difficult, very time/labor intense with many potential pitfalls that is beyond the resources available in the NYC community at present.

Hello. May be able to get down to the parade .

I do like the coin look but when I first saw it, it looked like a Roman type coin with brown colors and font style. NYC is mostly modern with steel/concrete (grey, black etc) with trees here and there. It is sort of hard to relate the colors of this image with NYC. Immediately of course Lady Liberty is obvious but the rest seems conflicting to a visual of NYC. of course though not everyone has been there so this is a thought expressed out loud.

Hoping to recover an old wallet with NYC coin and look forward to the website updates.

Okay, here is my 2 cents on this matter, #1 issue to me is, I thought our votes were gonna count for something, or why waste everyone's time. This statement quoted above, is definitely not gonna help this coin. The reason being, Look for instance at HeisenbergHex Coin, max 23 Billion coins, and the halving started way, way earlier in the block chain than this one. Here is a link to compare: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=502589.0, and you can't give away HeisenbergHex, I've got millions of them and they are listed in several exchanges, if there isn't gonna be any REAL change to this coin, then why waste our time? 100 billion, and just that little change that you suggest, sorry, but, NOT gonna work.

If you need funding and are REALLY gonna make the changes voted for, then speak up and find a way to get it done, tell us the cost, and see what can be done, don't just give up.
Who knows how many of us might chip in? I'm willing, but not without REAL CHANGE.

#2 Whatever you do, just be completely up front and honest with us, and we can make this into something great, otherwise, I've already invested enough time and effort, because it will never amount to a hill of beans. 100 Billion with No Real Changes will not work.

Anyway that you choose to look at this,...... there is only so many things that can be done without losing trust, you can't go backwards and change the total amount of coins to millions, without losing all trust, because Billions have already been mined, that only leaves 2 options...lower the Billions to an amount that hasn't been mined already, which will require the same DEV wallet $ to change the specs, as the amount you say we can't afford, or change to POS specs like everyone is in favor of, according to the vote, and find a way to fund it.

I would rather take my chances on helping to fund it, and make something worth putting some effort into, rather than put a whole lot of effort into something friv·o·lous. "not having any serious purpose or value."

Upgrade to lower block reward of 1,000 NYC and implementing annual Jan 1st
I think this is acceptable, for the number has been mined out, there is no need to change, 100 billion though, but this is not the key, such as: XRP, XLM, Doge, they can have an enviable price The It is important that NYC need more people to agree with it, accept it, develop more applications, and get some more useful improvements from other excellent competitive coins, such as going to the center of the exchange, introducing BT dollars, BTY , BT and so on. On the other hand, it can be like dogecoin, and other coins mining, increase the power. Change POS may not necessarily be a better program, not as good as this time and manpower spent more useful place. Of course, this is just my personal advice.

The original coin reminds me of a penny. Most likely it's intended ultimate purpose for this coin representing the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. I honestly believe NYC was created by same person/group as bitcoin. Dev disappeared at launch Mar 6, 2014 (same year Hal Finney died). It was given a much faster 30-second block to enable it's use where bitcoin was simply not practical (everyday small purchases). Original code, github account has never been touched. There was never any response from original dev, original domain name expired and was picked up on godaddy. They created and 100% disappeared. No premine. No shenanigans. NYC has a good story to tell. Check out her upcoming coin design (next couple of weeks) and let me know if it breathes more of a New York essence.

New wallet appears to working well and without issues. I'll do some more testing with send/receive but so far, so good. Synced quickly after finding peers, faster then the old one. Install went smooth over top the old wallet preserving wallet.dat and putting all the bits in the right places. Good job so far...

[scryptenthusiast]

Great to hear that! I'm trying to get dev to come onboard full-time with NYC.
