Due to the original developer disappearing at launch in March 2014, early cryptocurrency miners and enthusiasts kept the network alive and healthy during New York Coin's infancy. Charlie Kartchner, an early scrypt miner created the website newyorkco.in in March 2014 to ensure coin data, block explorers, wallets and mining pools were all easily accessible. And also got New York Coin (NYC) added to Coinmarketcap in early 2014.
