What is Bitcoin?
What is Blackcoin Lore?
----------------
Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to
anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate
with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried
out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source
software which enables the use of this currency.
Blackcoin is a decentralised digital currency with near-instant transaction speeds and i
negligible transaction fees build upon Proof of Stake 3.0 as introduced by the Blackcoin development team.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of
the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoin.org/en/download, or read the
[original whitepaper](https://bitcoincore.org/bitcoin.pdf).
Lore takes Blackcoin to the next level by building upon Bitcoin Core 0.12 to offer performance enhancements,
wider compatibility with third party services and a more advanced base.

Development Process
-------------------
The `master` branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. [Tags](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tags) are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
The developer [mailing list](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev)
should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working
on a patch set.
Developer IRC can be found on Freenode at #bitcoin-core-dev.
The best place to get started is to join the Development channel on Gitter: https://gitter.im/Blackcoin\_Hub/Development
Testing
-------
@@ -57,26 +49,9 @@ There are also [regression and integration tests](/qa) of the RPC interface, wri
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run with: `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py`
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows
and Linux, OSX, and that unit and sanity tests are automatically run.
### Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the
code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful
to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is
not straightforward.
Translations
------------
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to
[Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/).
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the
[translation process](doc/translation_process.md) for details on how this works.
**Important**: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next
pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoin-translators).
