Everyone read it carefully !!!!https://blog.nycoin.community/newyorkcoin-five-things-to-know-before-the-fork/Five Things You Need To Know
Hello everyone, because we are 5 days away from the moment the NewYorkCoin fork event is estimated to occur, here are five important things you need to know to prepare yourself:
1. The reason NewYorkCoin is implementing a Security & Stability based fork upon reaching block 4,800,000:
Please click on this link:
https://nycoin.community/announcement.html, and scroll to State of the New York Coin Network to begin reading.
This explains why the fork is necessary to protect the network from vulnerabilities (one in particular has been experienced by the community recently) and the benefits of the network being placed on the new chain.
2. What wallets and/or exchanges are ready for the fork (Fork Ready):
Exchanges:
TradeSatoshi:

During an event involving a spike in the hashrate, NewYorkCoin holders were having trouble transferring NYCoin between exchanges and wallets. Use the following link:
https://stats.nycoin.info/d/000000001/nycoin-mainnet?refresh=30s&orgId=1 to see where the hashrate is in GHs.
4. For Yobit exchange users:
If you have NYCoin on Yobit, the best thing to do at the time of this writing is to get it off the exchange as soon as possible. If Yobit does not update their wallet in time for the 4,800,000 block the coins will be on the old chain. It is suggested to do one of the following:
If you have the opportunity to exit by converting to ETH at a profit or at break even, we highly recommend that option.
If you find yourself still on the exchange post fork, try sending a small amount to an updated wallet, either Coinomi or core. (If it goes through you are good to go. If not, you will have to wait it out).
