What is Blackcoin Lore?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Blackcoin is a decentralised digital currency with near-instant transaction speeds and
|
|
negligible transaction fees built upon Proof of Stake 3.0 as introduced by the Blackcoin development team.
|
|
|
|
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 `Blackcoin-Lore` branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
|
|
completely stable. [Tags](https://github.com/janko33bd/bitcoin/tags) are created
|
|
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Blackcoin Lore.
|
|
|
|
The contribution workflow is described in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull
|
|
requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing
|
|
other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people
|
|
lots of money.
|
|
|
|
### Automated Testing
|
|
|
|
Developers are strongly encouraged to write [unit tests](/doc/unit-tests.md) for new code, and to
|
|
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
|
|
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: `make check`
|
|
|
|
There are also [regression and integration tests](/qa) of the RPC interface, written
|
|
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
|
|
These tests can be run with: `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py`
|
|
|
|
### 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.
