Greetings NYCoin!
Slosh here, just wanted to get you all up to date on what is happening with the dev team. We have just released version 1.3 of the Core wallet (see notice https://www.reddit.com/r/nycoincommunity/comments/91smfi/dev_updates_7252018/) which means we are ready to move ahead with the Security Updates! Please be sure to download and update your wallet accordingly as all changes take place at block height 4.8 million, around the 28th of October 2018. The new wallet is faster, more modern (from a code point of view), and has a few more features than the previous iteration. It's not pretty right now but when I get the chance to give it a face lift I will do so (or if you are a dev that knows their way around QT, hit me up).
We are currently in contact with exchanges and 3rd part wallet providers to get them up to date on the new code so we should have little interruption during the transition.
Now that the core code is out, I will be spending some time on the Electrum wallet. It has needed some love for far longer than I would have liked but we are shy on devs and the security updates were top priority. I will post an update here once Electrum is back on track and hopefully we will be able to get a few more nodes up and running.
Again, please update your wallets and nodes to the latest edition before height 4.8 million so that we can all move into a more secure future together! You can find the latest wallets here https://github.com/NewYorkCoin-NYC/nycoin/releases as well as bundled packages that contain all of the command line tools needed to run a headless node (scroll further down the release page).

Thanks for your devotion to the project and all you're work, it means a lot to all of us even if we rarely mention it. Kudos to everyone in the project!
