We are excited to announce that the 4th step of the inflation reduction plan is going live in less than 5000 blocks! On Sunday evening at roughly 6 p.m EST the block reward halves yet again from 1250 NYC, down to 625 NYC!
For those who are uninformed, uneducated, or claim that the work on the code was minor/unnecessary, or a tool to suppress the coin in some way, I refer you to this image that shows what the inflation reduction plan alone does for NYC over 5 and 10 years vs a coin like Dogecoin that continues to pump 14.5 million coins into circulation every day.
https://imgur.com/a/FK5ybUQThe idea that a forthcoming group is going to swoop in and take the reigns shows how far disconnected some folks are from how locked down and secure the chain actually is in it's current state, and how few have access to the Git to make changes to the code. Simply put, our security is damn near insurmountable.
While I will admit that overall the changes to the code in October of '18 weren't drastic or groundbreaking, it did require a hard fork. A hard fork that required consensus that the majority reached, whether Mr. Charlie Kartchner likes it or not. The fork introduced many helpful features such as the inflation reduction plan, so statements referring to the "original code base" really mean jack squat because the majority (80%-90%) of NewYorkCoiners already reached a consensus over a year ago to move on from the old code in less than a months time, rendering the old chain useless, why a statement like that gets made is beyond my comprehension. This is blockchain 101.
In regards to the wallet being difficult to install, consider this. On a regular basis, I have folks ask me how they can install the QT wallet on their system via DM on our Facebook page, and on Twitter. I direct them to the latest version of the QT wallet on our releases page on the Git, where mind you instructions for quick installation are sitting right on the page, yet Charlie Kartchner, a self proclaimed blockchain pioneer, claims it's "more difficult" to install. I have never gotten a complaint from someone that it's difficult. Of course, if you aren't smart enough to download the bootstrap or use -fastsync, I could see why it would be "slower to sync" but we can't expect someone with such a small mind like Charlie Kartchner to understand such a complex command line argument.
In regards to this turd -
http://nyc.mypool.club/ I would highly recommend staying away (more on why in a sec) and instead using ProHashing to mine NYC, that is unless you don't mind the literal waste of your energy and money. Why would anyone want to use a pool that consistently has 0 workers, and goes days on end without finding a block? Take your constant 0.0 MH/s elsewhere and learn about AuxPow and merged mining buddy. Also JORKpr, in regards to my Twitter post that I posted in July -
